I would argue, that you inadvertently learn the names once you learn of the context. I would see it more as a filing system. If there is nothing it points to, whats the benefit of knowing it in the first place.

What good does it actually do to know just the names from memory. Without any context they are rather useless. I dont think many people from the EU have to much to say about most US states except their names, if even that. I think most peop

I am really curious about the end of life for Windows seven. I understand Microsoft wants to push the OS as a service, but I dont see that widely happening in a lot of corporate environments. For liability reasons alone.

Thats a hypothesis you can easily test the next time you are in Germany. Shove random people in the street a camera in the face and scream "PHOTONS WANT TO BE FREE".

I didnt think I would comment on the second part, but it is really bugging me. Sorry for the double post. Distributing sexted images that were meant for you is something I would consider to be wrong. Do you disagree with that? https:/

We dont really make that distinction with copy righted material either. Digital copies are still no more permitted then copied books.

It is a basic human right. Sadly one you do not enjoy. And I am sorry it is that way. I didnt think I had to have this kind of discussion here. What would I say to a person that thought freedom of religion was nothing but a legal framework?

Photos. As in pictures. Physical copies. Your eyes dont have a log function. You can look at your partner during sex for certain, but secretly filming them and sharing the pictures is clearly wrong.

The question is, does that justify working on that kind of technology? Dual use is a bit to friendly of a wording here. This is a step into a dystopia we have taken a while back.
