Its the whales and the people that can't afford to buy more media than they already do.
If the industry actually got the big spenders to do away with their self-hosting/data-archive setups, they won't actually put that money into more media, as they're already budgetting a set amount for the media itself which is not going to increase.
No, offering them more money to remove those obstacles sends the wrong message. It would literally save them money to leave it out, so in what world would that entitle them to more of your money or mine?
... and its both hilarious and ridiculous. Canada's constitution and parlimentary system are treated as better internationally, partially because there's no right to bear arms enshrined in it, but they went at least as far as the US to wipe out their First Nations(Natives), and the differences are often attributable to inspiration taken from the Iroquois Confederacy(a native federation of allied tribes).
I prefer the option that learned from the peoples that were already here when we showed up. Please and Thankyou.
No argument here. I don't eat that stuff. If I'm gonna spring for seafood, its straight to Sushi or Salmon, sometimes crab or calamari.
That's what I was getting at, with sarcasm.
Those agencies are under the executive branch, and its been made very clear in the past that they prefer sneaking in backdoors to valid best practices.
The NSA sabotaging the Elliptic Curve method of random number generation used in the RSA algorithm comes to mind. They would otherwise be THE experts to trust, but lets look at the others:
FBI - Waco, Ruby Ridge, planned to assassinate Martin Luther King and so many others. CIA - promotes fascism internationally, causing all sorts of chaos in Latin America and the Middle East. Ever wonder how Komeni's faction overthrew the Shah? The CIA decided he had gone soft.
Germany is so trusting of the US on cyber-security measures that their government has been trying to ditch Windows for over a decade.
TL;DR: In the US, government experts do NOT have your personal security best interests at heart. They can and will use any dirty trick possible to spy on and control both our own citizens and those of other countries. Last authories that anyone should trust.
The rich already eat far more fish than you or I. Have you even looked at the prices of anything healthier than fried cod?
That, and as someone who loves fish, its already usually the more expensive option. Increasing demand won't help that.
Holy shit, I've repaired a couple of these. Somehow, both were personally owned by different professors, who each opted to have the repairs done in their respective buildings on the same university campus. These were only a couple months apart, maybe less.
I don't even remember the parts I swapped, or if they were particularly easy or hard to work on inside. I seem to recall one of the Alienware gaming laptops with the removable GPUs I found surprisingly easy by comparison, but that doesn't mean anything in an era where HP and Dell were both turning out SFF and not-so-SFF desktops that would have both the weirdest accomodations AND gotchas when it came to repairing them.
EDIT: Thinking it was the Optical Drive, in both of them.
The life-expectancy of these countries is irrelavent to skilled immigrants or skilled temporary workers. They won't be drinking the tap-water or partaking in really ANY of the activities that expose enough of that nation's poor to risk so as to bring down those averaged numbers.
Apologies that I did not zoom in enough to ascertain the true meaning of the graph, but still, women live longer than men in El Salvador, and life expectency has increased over the time period covered.
The gender ratio is close to even, it turns out. So that leaves violent crime and pollution, things abstracted/averaged life-expectancy numbers don't speak to, and one of which El Salvador has ... "addressed", granted in an incredibly inhumane and distasteful manner.
For your last question: some people still do. For the rest: Bluetooth remote, Bluetooth speakers. This was back when the Bluetooth emphasis was on range, versus now its on power savings. Building materials are still the biggest issue affecting the range and quality experience, but reaching the next room or two was usually no big deal when this thing was made.
