Agreed. I have a desktop from about the same time running Mint and have had almost zero problems running Firefox. I had one lockup about a month ago, but that's been it.

Other than the excessive nagging about updates which can't be removed, it does exactly what a browser should do: display web pages.

Hiring a guy who injected children with an anti-puberty drug to show vaccines cause autism.

Correct. If Congress okays a president receiving a gift, money, title or such from a foreign government, then it is okay. Otherwise, it is not permissible.

For more information.

No. If you read the text, it is only on receiving items from foreign heads of state:

Article I

Section 9 Powers Denied Congress
Clause 8 Titles of Nobility and Foreign Emoluments

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

It's just that all past presidents did their best to not enrich themselves while in office. Carter put his peanut farm in a blind trust to avoid a conflict of interest while he was in office.

The patent is granted by the government in the first place, they don't need to give it away and then buy it back.

The government doesn't own the patent. All the government is saying is a particular idea/concept/formulation/whatever is unique and was created by (fill in the blank). They are not paying the person/company anything for the patent. The person/company pays them.

They can't give away a patent because it's not theirs to give away.

How fast do you think this will fail? Given his track record of business failures, this will be another one added to the list.

Americans are lazy. What else needs said?

Except going to a web site on a mobile phone and trying to find anything useful is too difficult. Simply asking for the information is far easier.

If you're on a real computer then it's a bit easier, assuming there's any semblance of competency to the web site.

If I paste an image into Writer, the right and bottom sides of the image have thin gray lines, but not left and top. Can't get rid of them, either.

This does not happen if I paste the same image into Word so it's obviously related to Writer.

The type of image doesn't matter (jpg, png, etc). It happens to all of them.

If you have dementia, you probably won't have a choice.

While this is just a game, learning to predict and react to everything involved will lead to future developments. This could easily lead to robots being used in any situation where it has to interact with humans while navigating an area.

With enough training and better software, robots could expand into other areas of life such as in Japan where they are developing robots for use by and care for senior citizens.

Here's one based on a picture I have up: road construction. Instead of having humans sweating it out in the middle of July and August, have trained robots paving roads.

How is Disney the good guy? Nothing is being stolen. All the images remain in place.

It's like when people steal videos, software, and movies. The original is still there.

Tell us you don't know how viruses and vaccines work without telling us you don't know how viruses and vaccines work.

You mean like is already being done?

Apparently there is a University of Quebec in Montreal so this one is named the way it is to prevent confusion. If you look at the Wike page, it has a heading saying not to be confused with the University of Montreal.
