Of course they're extremists. They don't believe anyone who produces anything should have the right to their own property. That people should produce music, software, and movies without getting any compensation.
Once again, if that is their belieft then they can go produce software, music, or movies and give it all away. Let's see how long they last doing that.
Stealing people's works does not help their cause.
It's their job! Their job is to prevent monopolies (in fairness, they haven't been doing too good a job of late in that department) so the consumer (i.e. you and me) don't pay exorbitant prices for products and services because there are only one or two providers.
What he wanted was for the government to roll over and let things go through since clearly the company was not able to compete in the free market. He wanted someone who could manipulate people's purchases by not showing competing products to take over the failing iRobot and get a stranglehold on the market.
What I'm waitig for is when a Democratic president is in office and starts making wholesale changes. The howls from Republicans will be glorious. Sending their whines to the Supreme Court will be even funnier because if the Court says the president can't do that after they've let Trump do whatever he wants, they just outed themselves as partisan hacks and can be ignored.
As Jackson remarked, let them try and enforce it.
What will you do about it? Nothing, as usual. You whine and complain Russia is doing this to you, yet you do nothing in return.
Either punch the bully in the teeth with brass knuckles or stop complaining you've been attacked.
As Ukraine has shown, taking the fight to the bully is the only way to get results.
It's not just videos. Trying to listen to music has been thrown into the same cesspool. I was listening to a song last night and about a third of the way in the music stopped. I saw there were an additional 6 - 8 scripts which needed run to have the music play, even after I already enabled 6- 8.
I closed out of the song and did something else.
If you have to enable over a dozen scripts to play a 4 minute song, you suck.
So you're saying they're going to follow Robert F. Kennedy, Jr's process of declaring a reason for autism will be found and a few months later state it's caused by vaccines?
Fascinating.
Semicolons are the bastard child of commas. Their use is limited and if you don't use them correctly the reader is confused because the phrasing is off.
Unless you know what you're doing, use a comma or a period or better yet, rewrite so you don't get into the position of needing a semicolon.
If a president can dictate how the agency runs, it's not independent, is it?
We all know why this change was done. It's so the Russian asset can force the agency to revoke licenses for communication companies who report mean things about him such as him falling asleep every day or reporting his inane ramblings or calling him out on his lies. Also, he can force communication companies to report only what he says, just like in Russia.
So no, everything changes.
It is not the responsibility of government to protect companies from their own incompetence. Bush letting Lehman die was the only good thing he did during the meltdown. He should have continued with the rest of them.
It's called the free market for a reason. If you continually thwart the free market it's no longer free, is it?
... though his invention worked superbly -- his theory was a crock of sewage from beginning to end. -- Vernor Vinge, "The Peace War"
