Sure, you don't actually own it. The words you strung together are not actually yours nor is the grammar you strung it together with. The knowledge you used to create it is also not yours.

The only way to ensure no one reads, borrows, or "steals" your work is to never share it with anyone and certainly never put it on the Internet.

The only way to ensure it is truly yours is to never have participated in society, invent your own language, and of course hide it from ever being discovered.

This is the only real way. You need to create in a vacuum and lock it up so no one will ever find it. Then and only then can it truly be yours.

This is the way. This technology is too critical to our future to leave in the hands of the private sector at this point.

Yeah, like I was saying. You have to do it the way they want rather than just click on it like every other GUI.

One thing I really did like was the use of the drop down menu. I really appreciate all programs using the same basic interface.

I absolutely hated all the Microsoft Ribbon bar nonsense. They have reinvented it so many times you never know where to find anything.

Well that was not the case with the last time I used OSX. You click on finder and it would not open a second window. This is not how Windows or Gnome/Kwin work.

I hear you. I have always been a power user so I was pretty shocked when you could not open two file managers at once in OSX.

The thing about Apple devices is they work great, as long as you do it they way they want.

That did not address or refute any of my points. Have a good day sir.

For real, all those guys were always cutthroats. How do you think they dominated the markets? It was not because they shared and encouraged competition. No, they stole, lied, and cheated their way to the top.

Man you have a hard on for corporations. It's like you believe life can only exist if it sucks corporate cock. At the beginning of last century 90% of Americans were self-employed. What you say about everyone working together to produce lumber is not even far fetched. It actually happened.

Technology has been heading towards micronization for awhile now. 3d printing of not only houses but also drugs. We have the technology already to move away from the too big to fail strategy life has become. Small design labs producing the products people need without the enormous waste and pollution.

Your large scale production mindset is not sustainable nor is it the future.

What in the hell are people with brain implants going to do when they stop supporting their hardware or keep additional features behind a paywall. People would be forced to pay whatever the company wanted.

This is ripe for human rights abuse on a level we have never seen before. Imagine being locked out of your own body. Without important safety guards and laws to protect people it would surely cause untold suffering.

I live in Alaska and have a friend with a mill that's just a few circular saws and a chainsaw. He makes great rough cut lumber.

You really need to start thinking for yourself and stop believing all the garbage you have been fed.

You probably should never use a Mac then.
