Because the last time the government futzed around in the housing market with financial incentives for home buyers it worked out so well for everyone. Are people's memories really this short? The last thing we need is the government du

The FUD means fear uncertainty and doubt. Everything that I said was the opposite of FUD. The original article is what was promoting the fear mongering. The post that I was replying to and made a very intelligent argument as to why it was f

Those same links that require prior knowledge to know about them because there is a coordinated efforts by indexers to block information they don't deem acceptable. Did I sum that up correctly or am I still missing something? And if yo

Oh yes word of mouth is a great way to learn new information in the age of a society that bases its communication interconnected technology. It's totally reasonable to tell someone to start up their own indexing service to solve the pr

I suppose the intention is that it can be used as a vulgar way to refer to a woman. Although when I have heard phrases like that it's usually something way more vulgar which I won't post publicly. This phrasing is almost humorousl

Vulgar? I'm not so sure about that. I'm pretty sure if you used that as a vulgar insult people would look at you with pity because this is obviously the first time you have been released into the public after being a homeschooled

This can depend on your country and the banking regulations and whether you're using a credit versus debit card, which you don't really indicate in your question. So I will answer as if you're in the United States. If this is

A voluntary job is still voluntary even if someone wants to quit even if someone wants to strike. The choice is not to force them to work at the barrel of a gun. The people did want to work the job until the situation changed. Are you hones

Despite what they say, this is very much preparing for the "what can you afford" marketplace and not the "what is it worth" marketplace. This is the future we asked for. We deserve what we get.

I'm not sure how this is anything to do with AI. It's just plain and simple advertisement that lies to you. This has been going on as long as people had something to sell. I guess buzzwords are the lie that gizmodo is using to sel

I've read a few of these articles on this and most seem to be going beyond what the ruling was about. It could be that the ruling gets construed in some of these more bizarre cases but it's equally as plausible maybe even more pla

This is where you have a complete flawed understanding of what I'm saying. You're still attempting to control the minds of the consumer that is the core problem and that's what you're missing in my statements. Whether yo

I completely understand your point, but what you're missing is that your fundamental premise is wrong. Your premise, as stated, is you want to continue to exercise control over your work after your work has been consumed by another. N

A creative work is a thought that has become realized. So when you say you want to control your creative works to prevent its use in some way that you don't agree with, yes you are attempting to control the thoughts of others.
