just like "Second Life", and "Earth 2". There will be a a lot of buzz and of investment(time and money), but eventually it will be abandoned because it is essentially just as useless as the previous attempts.

The Presidential Library should keep a copy of EVER one of Trumps tweets, whether he deleted them or not.

They should be on some Twitter server, it would probably be illegal to delete presidential publications.

Future generations need to learn from the mistakes of the 2016 voters and president.

The Swiss also have ski resorts :)

... and in relation to the quality of humor, it produces too much CO2

so that...
- in case if a fire, they know how many people are in the building
- in the case in crime, they can rule you out if you we're not in the building

it's because they have stock in the company that produces Anonymous/Guy Fawkes masks which you'll start wearing whenever your in the building

...so doesn't that make him a "Space-Based Weapon" already? He does have access to a rather large military force.

There is a large portion of the world who don't have the money to upgrade their computers every-time a new Windows version is released.

Running a "modern" version of Window on an older computer will make the computer run like crap.

But as Microsoft needs to keep the game creators and users happy, old computers/OS's need newer DirectX versions

According to Wikipedia "DirectX 12 was announced by Microsoft at GDC on March 20, 2014".

Really, Microsnot just decided to ignore the Windows 7 user for a bunch of years hoping that they would upgrade, or buy computer with Win10.

It is NOT newsworthy that it happened... and unfortunately, it's not even newsworthy any-more that Microsnot doesn't give a crap about their customers.

... it's a Trump'ish way of helping "big industry", "big coal", "big oil", etc.

I can't walk in to a single shop in Copenhagen area an expect to be asked...
"So, would you like that computer with, or with-out Windows?"
We all know that Microsoft didn't become wealthy giving away software, so even if it doesn't specify a cost on the purchase receipt next to VAT... I'm paying for Windows when I buy a computer even-though it will never be used.

I'll might start to believe in a "Linux take-over" when EVERY piece of computer hardware I buy has a "Works with Linux" label, and I won't have to worry about that manufacturer looses interest in maintaining Linux drivers immediately after I open the box.

1) We consider the self-driving car to be a "robot"
2) We consider the willing passengers "part of the robot", as they chose to be there.

Therefore the law ("A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm") only should apply to those parties who didn't consent to having a "robot" interact with them.

Thus... the willing passengers inside the car should be sacrificed.

...before installing an app/program "nobody" has any idea what they are consenting to.

The average person could be giving up their rights to their first born children every time they install a program/app.

Many installations want consent for collecting data to "improve the product" or "improve customer experience"... theoretically, giving all ones data to the NSA to help prevent terrorism is an improvement for the customer.

Social media is a system by which idiot will pay(with their time) to give their personal information to a company which(like all companies) main goal is to make their stockholders some money. Knowledge is power.

...five-year old kid made an illegal blind merge.
As far as I know, there isn't a country in the world that holds five-year old's legal "responsibly", so they can't make illegal blind merges.

The case with the car would correspond to that if a parent was leading the kid.
Even though the kid has a mind of it's own, the parent is responsible.

I hope that we never get to a point where driverless(accountability-less) vehicles share the same roads as "the rest of us". They should at least have their own lanes, separated by concrete blocks.
