FDR was a Democratic Socialist. Trump says socialism is great!
Don't forget glazing the GTA 6 trailer
Physical media also comes with a license.
licenses are a very IT central idea.
No, that's just the implementation you're most familiar with. Licenses are a copyright idea that IT adopted and made digital. Every physical movie and game you own also comes with a license that authorizes your retail use of it, but forbids your commercial use of it. You can't rent your copy of Shrek out to people, nor can you charge admission to people to watch Shrek at your house, nor are you allowed to make copies of your Shrek DVD and sell them, for example.
Ben Franklin was very progressive for his time. He owned a few slaves early in his life, but soon freed them and spent the rest of his life as one of that time period's most outspoken critics of slavery. He even bought a printing press so he could spread anti-slavery rhetoric more effectively.
You have internet, there's no excuse for being wrong unless you just like spreading misinformation.
No. I typed it with my own thumbs, from my own mind.
All of that sounds unintuituve and complicated, which I think is the main complaint overall.
You used to have master and slave processes too until it was changed to parent and child
Yeah, I've heard. I've always associated the terms with dom/sub play, not slavery.
I get the reasoning as to why, but it seems odd to me that the IT terms were fixated on, but not the engineering terms; "master" and "slave" are still the accepted terms in the context of hydraulic systems, for example.
It's also generally accepted that "retard" and "retarded" are generally acceptable terms when used in an engineering context. If we can accept that some terms are accepted in the a technical context, it seems inconsistent not to apply the same thinking to IT terminology.
Just more stuff to keep us bickering with each other so we don't look up and realize where all the real problems are coming from, imo.
