That seems likely to be true, coupled with the fact that wealth means greater selection in their entertainment.

Yeah, there's at least one comment in there to fit most stereotypes. They range from disbelief to saying the product is no different than other products. There are price complaints to comments that don't seem to even understand -

I am not sure I understand, so I will defer to you. My understanding was that independent game authors were writing games and making cartridges for these games which they then sold. If I am understanding you correctly, somewhere in this cha

Right, my bad. I read that as congress. I'm nit sure why I missed the specificity, considering I read it twice and then looked up the information on Wikipedia. My bad, indeed.

Most States don't take away your right to vote if you are convicted of a felony. Felons get to vote and can even, more often than not, vote while incarcerated. To vote while incarcerated, they use absentee ballots from the district whe

Sanders and King are both Independents but caucused with the Democrats. This doesn't really negate your point, I just figured you may be interested. They may not literally all be a D or an R, but it's trivial and I'm mostly b

In Maine, at least, third parties actually have a good chance at being elected. In the past few decades, we have elected Independents for governor quite frequently. The Green Party has a respectable turnout, as well. Once in a while, we get

Why is that a good start? They are ex employees. Perhaps they are no longer there because they quit due to bad leadership, bad security, bad company ethics, or maybe they were fired for continually reporting their security flaws? I get that

As for verbiage, you may want try the phrase you later used in a follow up post. It's not really your personal data. After all, it was data from an interaction with another entity which makes it their data as well. So, personally ident

My guess is that the copyright is for the whole body of work, and not just for the single file. The copyright notice in the single file is probably not a requirement from a legal standpoint and is merely indicative.

Yeah, we've all got comments from our past that we wish we'd not made. Our seemingly brilliant insights aren't so brilliant after all. Today's thread about Musk's "Hyperloop" is good fodder to bookmark and

I never tell people that they 'need' to do something, so I'll say I highly suggest you do. So, to make it easier for you - I've grabbed a laptop and dug out the link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/

People are making new games for the old systems. It's quite an active community. They make and sell cartridges that have brand new games on them. I dug out a link, but it's just the tip of the iceberg: https://www.theve

One of my favorites is on Slashdot. If you go there and search for 'VMware' then you can find it. When VMware was first announced and demoed, the commenters at Slashdot declared things like it was fake, it was stupid, it was a was

A small point really, but I'm not sure most people would only think it describes helicopters. I am guessing most people would think it is a tribe of Native Americans. I admit that it's just a guess, but it does seem likely. Again,

You may have missed one of my posts. I think we can both agree that certain people should be excluded from owning firearms. Because of the risks involved, I'm very much in favor of testing for competency, safety, security, and sanity.

I can relate. I live in Vacationland. The nearest village largely exists because of tourism. I'm a bit more remote.

We are pretty sure about that entropy thing. I'm not sure I'd bet against it. It'd also be a very, very long wait. I imagine any more immediate death is preferable. It's going to be cold and lonely when the lights go out

Obscurity is a valid part of some security schemes. It shouldn't be the only method, of course.

The political environment, and willingness to cede control to the State, is very different than it is here. I suspect the attempt would mean armed insurrection if tried here. I am not condoning it, I'm merely pointing out that it'

I own multiple firearms in .50 cal, including the vaunted Barrett. I have no qualms with people who can demonstrate safety, proficiency, and sanity being allowed to own firearms of those types. Firearms are well defined. An RPG or landmine

My land is all open for public use, except a small area around my home. When I die, it doesn't go to my children but is maintained as a land trust which will ensure public access in perpetuity. The public was using the land before my n

That is going to happen, regardless. Even if we figure out all sorts of things, entropy is still the final boss of the universe. I'd imagine that an intelligent life form surviving until the very end of the universe would be suffering

I am actually very left leaning, to the point where I make a European blush. What I am not is an authoritarian. This doesn't fit well in American politics. My concerns are preservation of liberties while ensuring protection of the comm

When hunting bears, it's prudent to carry a sidearm. Bears will sometimes stay really still, appearing as if they're dead, and will attack when you get close enough. (That situation counts for every black bear attack in Maine sinc

Those are fantastic. I don't want to derail the thread by going too far off-topic, so email is uninvolved@outlook.com (if you're interested in showing more specific examples of your work or galleries).

I dealt with government and the public fairly often but not so much at the federal level. One of my favorite examples: I was on a public access cable show talking about how the project was going to be a temporary problem for traffic congest

Oh! That's brilliant. I usually carry a cheap camera instead of my expensive DSLR and it doesn't geotag as it has no GPS. It's disabled on my cell phone - usually. It re-enabled itself (that's my excuse and I'm stic

If you really like something, tell nobody. If you find beautiful waterfalls, don't tell anyone. A great fishing hole? Keep it to yourself. A great diner? Nary a soul should you tell. I'm only slightly exaggerating. In defiance of
