Fry’s had been a living corpse for a decade. You’d have to go as far back as Circuit City to actually get the Fry’s you remember.

Unless he’s now managing that person. Then it’s industry! Don’t mind us, we are just out here creating jobs.

That’s active income.

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

The original cyberpunk story.

Great book. I’m afraid he learned the wrong lesson though.

Not everyone has access to a Gibson.

What about us folks on the drier side of life?

Concerns?! Should be ramifications

I think there’s definitely a slippery slope argument for locking features for physical hardware for anything. Just look at what John Deere for an already proven example.

There’s an argument for your point of view but I think the negatives far outweigh the positives. I doubt there’s a legal or even social argument against the practice stated in the article. I just think it’s worse for the consumer.

I agree for the most part but the initial analogy about a game is very poor one. It’s more like your console was missing performance. They patched it, refurbished it, and then resold it as a Pro model and got more money out of it.

This is a privileged take. There are plenty of people that cannot wait.

Superseded. From the Latin -sede.

There are settled court cases that should cover this kind of situation. I’m sure there are witnesses and a paper trail. The problem is whether there’s any interest in actually pursuing a conviction.

He claimed to negotiate and just generally be there in the name of the US. Who cares about a president? We have lots of people that operate in an official capacity to other countries that aren’t remotely close to the president. You simply cannot state you are operating with US authority in foreign relations unless you are specifically authorized.

Just like it says: Rodman went in an official capacity but wasn’t given the authority. He did it on his own. It wasn’t officially sanctioned so he either lied or was just oblivious.

Rogers would be victorious over all, as proven by the ultimate showdown.

I don’t understand how having things and being well off means a person has nothing to lose. Have none of y’all seen Trading Places? People value different things.

I’d be curious to know if the whistleblowers of the last 25 years or so match this description of the “most ethical person”. I doubt it.

I can agree more with this statement.
