Egypt, Chinese, Phoenicians, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Ancient Israelites, Sumerians, Mayan, Incan and a host of others predated the Romans and documented the process only to be overtaken by the next civilization. The Romans were aggre

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but the facts on the ground are that the constitution is broken all the time without anyone being punished enough to stop them from doing it again. Unless you outline penalties or protections such as qua

Instead of just getting these shutdown how about an opposing act which puts penalties for lobbyists and politicians who back this kind of thing? I don't want to keep fighting zombie bills like these, because we will eventually miss one

It would be poetic justic if he did, and it merely inconvenienced him, rather than having him brutalized. I walk out if I am not seen within 20 minutes of my appointment and drop the doctor if it happens twice. Doctors who don't respec

"sponsor-only repositories, that is, private repositories that only sponsors will get access to" is this open source? Will this help open source? I don't believe so. This fragments the open source community, and creates a pay

He paid for a ticket, he was seated. Airline is in the wrong overbooking. Everything that happened after that is on them. Refusing to deboard and getting injured isn't a smart idea in the real world. Imagine this was any other industry

Ah, the old appeasement trap. The censormongers who demanded their collection leave Spotify aren't going to come back now that Spotify has caved. And the people who wanted Spotify to have Joe are going to be pissed off and leave. This

Precovid pandemic, yes. Coffee shops, music gigs, gaming at the local gaming cyber cafes, board games at semi local shop, meetups for coding, meetups for electronics. PostCovid, no, occasionally I'll go out to a meal by myself, but lot

I believe it will. This is not a rejection of right to repair. Farmers with tractors they cannot fix and electronics in landfills outweigh the cost to business, but it is troublesome. A patent industry paradigm shift must happen, perhaps sh

Without right to repair we throw away the first two "R"s in reduce, reuse, and recycle. Unfortunately right to repair allows competitors including patent ignorers to duplicate, deceive, and dilute. Look at wireless earbuds in a re

Return it, or if in the US talk to your states Attorney General's office and explain the scam they are running and how something which had the features on the box has misled you and taken them away after the return period.
