I don’t know. I go to news portals or aggregates or feeds for news. Do people actually just type “news” into Google? I suppose for specific events, but I could actually see it being true that news searches weren’t making up much of the activity. The way it’s going to be is subscription based or publicly funded for anything worthwhile

I think it’s problematic to require an organization to do something and then charge for it. It’s one thing if they do something of their own volition and then are required to pay

I think they’re setting up to negotiate not paying. I don’t think people should depend on Google to provide a social good at their cost

This was more a stunt because France is demanding Google pay to link to news sites. It’s the opposite of whether search engines should be required to list them

That’s what I mean, the EU would have to require it. The companies would know it would be detrimental. If it was a US regulation, they’d put it on US labels and leave it off anywhere they’re not required to have it

Localized packaging. It would have to be done at the EU end

Just my two cents: I’ve had occasional problems with games through steam on dual monitors. Things like losing mouse focus or changing resolution on the other monitor (though that hasn’t happened for a long time).

Monitors are old Asus. I won’t bother looking up the models as I’m sure they’re outdated

It has just gotten back from the vet after surgery

If only Fast and Furious movies were forgotten

That could be, even just considering one language to parse from. I heard efficiency and just thought speed

I would hope so, but as a demonstration, it wasn’t very impressive. They should have left subtitles up transcripting everything

How much faster was it? I was reading along with the gibber and not losing any time

“For”, “against”

It was the British under George Cockburn who captured Washington.

If he’s from NYC, he knows what NYC means. If he’s not from there, it doesn’t matter anyway

Since you have completely hijacked this from talking about the Gulf, as I said, call it what you want. I’ll probably continue to call it Denali, because it’s just a name.

You conflate not agreeing with not reading, because if someone reads your posts, they have to agree, right? So if someone doesn’t agree, it simply means they didn’t read your post.

If names mean so much, what about naming things after slave owners? Tell me how many slaves were at Mt Vernon? History has very few perfect saints.

But back to the Gulf. It’s just not worth it. Call it what you want. It’ll revert one way or another eventually

Whatever. Enjoy your rant. It’s going to be a fun four years for you

I’m not ignoring it. I’m saying it’s just a name. I will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico for the rest of my life, or probably just “the Gulf”. I never used another term for French fries, # is still a pound sign, and I’m not going to worry about this.
