ect
*etc., short for et cetera, Latin “and the rest”.
But native speakers do that all the time too. I don’t know how, because nobody ever says “ect” out loud.

It’s not, but the top mod also runs a bot that automatically posts content from various news sites, probably based on keywords. And I’d bet that some of those keywords are Twitter and Facebook. So don’t expect them to follow their own rules.
tech·nol·o·gy
/tekˈnäləjē/
noun
the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. “advances in computer technology”
machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. “it will reduce the industry’s ability to spend money on new technology”
the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences.
Some bozo changing the rules on his social media site is not scientific knowledge.
A browser does one thing: display web pages. If your media player is presented as a web page, a browser is a perfectly suitable choice.
Check /var/log/dpkg.log. See when they were installed, probably alongside something you wanted.
They don’t have to do it well, just enough to satisfy the lawyers.
Sounds like you’re just bored. You can try different distros if you want, but they’re not significantly different under the hood. They’re all still Linux.
Yes, different drivers mean that could be possible. Run the same benchmark under both Windows and Linux if you want comparable data.
Enforcement of the existing regulation. Fraud is already illegal.
I was configuring COM ports just last week. Turns out the software is so old that it only supports COM1.
Fraud is already illegal.
But why would I want my emails also to go through the spyware OS
Beats me, but you’re the one using Windows, so…
If your email provider offers a webmail client, then you might give that a shot, though it’s still going to run under Windows.
Why is the author suggesting government regulation should be involved here? Spamming and scamming is nothing new, at all. This is on the platforms to actually do a substantial job of moderating.
That’s not Windows, though.
You can either route IPv6 through the tunnel, or if the tunnel doesn’t support it, you have to block it somehow if you don’t want it going out to the Internet. You can do that by creating a firewall rule to block it on your host or network, or by disabling IPv6 entirely at the host or network level.
They can own it, actually. If you use the characters of Bugs Bunny, etc., or the setting (do they have a canonical setting?) then Warner does own the rights to the material you’re using.
For example, see how the original Winnie the Pooh material just entered public domain, but the subsequent Disney versions have not. You can use the original stuff (see the recent horror movie for an example of legal use) but not the later material like Tigger or Pooh in a red shirt.
Now if your work is satire or parody, then you can argue that it’s fair use. But generally, most companies don’t care about fan fiction because it doesn’t compete with their sales. If you publish your Harry Potter fan fiction on Livejournal, it wouldn’t be worth the money to pay the lawyers to take it down. But if you publish your Larry Cotter and the Wizard’s Rock story on Amazon, they’ll take it down because now it’s a competing product.
No, patent trolling is when you patent a bunch of stuff and make money by suing people instead of actually producing that product.
Filing complaints on behalf of someone you don’t legally represent is fraud.
Everything else is just a sparkling memory error?
Microsoft did hire Lennart Poettering last year…
