Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
As it should be! I hope in the long-term, that is proven to be true.
I would like to say, for the record, that I wrote that late at night, and my phrasing probably came across incorrectly.
It wasn’t my intention to call you personally ‘a peon’. I was trying more to adopt the voice, for argument’s sake, of what an imagined President, using this supposed absolute immunity, might say to their critics – ‘who are you (out there, the people) to question my power?’
My apologies for it coming out the way it did.
Recommend “Human Resource Machine” as well :)
Exactly. The Democratic party needs to push the issue and make the GOP see that the Leopards can eat their face too.
Exactly. Maybe I didn’t propose the “right” action – the entire point is that if the SCOTUS won’t rule a president does not have absolute immunity, and is subject to the law of the land, then really ANYTHING is possible isn’t it?
But Trump is currently asserting in court that he does have that power! Absolute immunity remember? Who are you to say, peon, that the POTUS cannot dissolve the SCOTUS? He has absolute immunity, remember? That means he has absolute power to do anything!
What I was trying to say is that Biden should call the bluff, and force the SCOTUS to decide right now. Why not? If the POTUS really does have absolute immunity, why not? Do you see the insanity this road leads down?
I’ll say it again: since the SCOTUS intends to slow-walk a decision on presidential ‘absolute immunity’, Biden needs to announce RIGHT NOW that he’s dissolving the SCOTUS effective 2 weeks from the time of the announcement, at midnight, intending to appoint an all-new roster of his choosing, as well as replacing all state-level judges, also of his administration’s choosing.
If the SCOTUS, on the other hand, suddenly finds they do have the time to make a decision on presidential immunity before that deadline, well maybe Biden won’t do it, after all.
Wow, another jerk CEO? I thought they were such nice people! We need to stop rewarding a-holes in society.
I’m real (or am I? Bwahaha).
…and we all must keep in mind this tech will only get better. A small improvement in the tonal inflections…
You can, but now it’s called “a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library”.
Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.
MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)
… and as the article fails to mention… what about the bloody TREES!? Imagine scammers cutting down a century-old, beautiful tree just to make a few hundred dollars. What a scummy, short-term, selfish thing to do. GRRRR.
Stories like this make me consider that humans deserve to go extinct. Maybe raccoons and corvids will do a better job of caring for this planet.
The man never stopped placing himself strategically to further enrich himself.
Selling $950M is ONLY CUTTING to 9% stake? Holy WTF.

And never, never EVER forget that he set back computing technology by at least a decade with his bullshit at Microsoft.
I’ve spent the last 4 months living this. Thank you I hate it.
EDIT: Actually my entire career, but most painfully the last 4 months. I hate it. And, yet, I must eat, so I endure.

Isn’t there a term for what they’re doing, wasting the court’s time? And a penalty for it? I think it’s called ‘Barratry’.
Indeed, and we might need to be ready to play some hardball ‘tit for tat’ if it comes to it. However we’ve always been ‘the mouse’ to their ‘elephant’ so that might not be feasible.
No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p
Both have been a blight on software development for decades.
