The point here is that, at the core, it is indicitive of the failings of education in the US...
Way before any supposed ethnocentric based racisim comes into play.

If the school you went to was even okish, you'd have been taught that the current base 10 numbering system is arabic in origin.

First of all, who tf is Richard? That's Bill Gates.

Second, he is. Says so in the subtitle.

Third, so far, as of August 2017, he's given away half of that, $50 Billion

Problem is, is that it's still a kidnapping charge now also componded by endangerment and abandonment.

You kinda answered the question by saying Florida.

You raise a fair point, but maybe Daddy-O is a single dad and you know... might be looking for a better half?

Just sayin'.

She was greedy, selfish and self centered... and she paid the price for it.

Which makes the iTunes shut down situation really interesting to see how it's going to shake out.

It's already happened with the Kindle, where the license to distribute a title expired and everyone that had "purchased" a "copy" found that it had been removed from.their devices without their knowlage.
If I'm not mistaken, this incident was one of the first instances that brought "ownership" or media into the spotlight.

Only briefly though, because the vast majority of consumers are credulous, foolish and fickle idiots with the memory of a fucking goldfish that will be surprised the next time it happens.

Good concept, but it's not ready for prime time. The state of the infrastructure required makes this iffy at best.

Just remember, off comments defending always on technology at the last next gen iteration got people fired.

I learned from an electrician that "it made an angry sound" is a semi-technical term that is used.

@guest, first of all, non sequiter.

Second, I do. The rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah of support the troops isn't that different from what the majority do when pride month comes around... or any other psuedo-activisim stance for that matter.

It's all patriotism and flag waving but when the cards are down and it's really needed, where's the support? Just like the fart in the wind it's worth, it's gone. I'm sorry, but getting clapped at in an airport isn't "support."

Support of the troops starts at the ballot box.

No. I beg to differ.
Apple's constant lies about their "innovation" and their two-faced stance on idea theft was extreme, but $1000 for a stand that should come with the monitor is beyond the pale.

This well deserved.

The point is that now that's legal, corporations can "support" it exploitatively purely for marketing without fear of shareholder repercussions.
It just happens that this is only the first or second pride month since.
