Most obviously the tech industry has disempowered the telco business. They are now just "dumb pipes", whereas once they wanted to be all singing all dancing content providers. Wikipedia replaced Britannica. Linux has largely repla

I don't want to get into a connector pissing match. It's a response to this question: > Why do we need another one when the USB committee doesn't think we do? Answer: maybe ask the people with alternative tech? They presum

Correct, they aren't politicians. They don't engage in the business of politics: campaigning, winning elections, building coalitions, interacting with constituents etc.

That's often true though. One way the media biases articles is by constant reliance on people presented as neutral experts but who don't satisfy the definition used by most people. Normally an expert is defined as someone who disp

So you don't Believe In Science, friend? ;) Objective observation is really hard, but amenable to systems and rules that help get closer to this ideal. I'm convinced it's possible to do far better than existing news organisat

The whole field of virology seems totally messed up not just this one organization. These accusations are hardly a surprise given the bizarre behavior and culture of deception that seems to pervade the field. So many virologists were willin

And those are not surprisingly some of the most vicious and fought over parts of law, which are only tenable at all because of hundreds of years of case law which refine them. Most of the time lawmakers do try to be precise about what the

Do you recognize at least how circular this argument is? "Technical necessity for certain purposes", purposes like offering a service, which is the reason the business is necessary for the people who use it?

I'm not a Christian anymore, so I might be misrepresenting the religion here, but I think they would say that you only go to hell if you don't repent your sins. And the whole Hell/Satan thing was never a major part of my own

The basic problem is that they didn't provide a proper evolution for Win32. So yes, Win32 apps still "work" if you can tolerate tiny, non scaled 1995 era UI. If you want a modern looking UI that properly scales then they said
