I’d like to keep my job as a certified master auto technician making $32 an hour with company paid health coverage. I’d like to take a couple vacations a year and save for retirement. Any suggestions??
The same technology customer’s love in their cars makes them exponentially more reliable so I don’t have the amount of work I used to have. If only we could go back to distributors, or even better, contact point ignition systems and carburetors. Those were the days.
But alas, I don’t have any lobbying groups to help me hold back progress and it seems that my crying and whining is being ignored. I guess I could just complain and wait for help but I have chosen another path.
Like the A/C above, I see a future in software engineering so I hauled my old butt back to school and am working on degrees and certifications so I can compete with others in this field.
Consequently, please take it personally when I tell you I don’t care about you or your industry, from my vantage point you are the ones with the entitlement syndrome. Your unwillingness to adapt and/or change is you own undoing. Even a toddler throwing a fit on the floor eventually figures out that it isn’t working and moves on, but not the “entertainment” industry.
Yes, I understand all too well where you are coming from, as do many others, and because I understand I don’t care. The world does not owe you anything.
It used to be climb the outside wall on the gym then open the access door on the roof and drop down inside, but they may have patched that security flaw since I was in high school.
I say bring it. Let the research go back to universities where it belongs and to people with a genuine interest in benefiting mankind instead of their patent portfolio.
I'm more afraid of Howie Mandel dragging me under my bed that I am of the lack of patents killing innovation. I've seen enough examples to know a fairy tale when I see one, and the whole "without_________(fill in your favorite IP) there will be no___________(fill in your favorite parasitic industry)" is a fairy tale.
See this is a perfect example of how the copyright system is doing exactly what it is supposed to do by giving you an incentive to create... er .... well ....
So supporting pirates isn't enough now you are supporting murderers. A quick google search of "real estate and crime" returns approx 629 million results. This obviously is a huge problem, but not to the techdirt criminal supporting freetards. pathetic.
