We must restore constitutional government

No one is giving Android away totally for free...The cell phone companies that use it pay for it.

Like all socialists, you’re completely and totally devoid of facts...

First of all, your quoted section does not say they give it away for free but instead for the additional profit of advertising income, and second is that I already posted they have to give part of it away because they did not write it and it is open source, but they sell the additional optional parts they did write and make available if people want to buy them.

 

[Rigby5]

And there is nothing wrong with giving something away for free as long as you do not use that to illegally destroy the competition, and they jack the prices way up when they are gone.

And there is nothing wrong with giving something away for free to destroy your competition. The consumer wins huge when that happens. If a company then “jacks up their prices”, someone will inevitably step in with a cheaper alternative because that is a golden opportunity. The beauty of the free market.

Wrong it is illegal and makes those with the most capital reserve win instead of the best or most popular products.
And it eliminates competition, so you always result with the worst and most expensive products.
Competition is good, but destroying competition with methods not dependent upon consumer input is always bad. Your claim that just open an opportunity for another new competitor is wrong because new companies always will have less capital reserve, so will be illegally destroyed again, just like the previous competition. What you are suggesting is as criminal as just murdering the competition, like Israel and the US are doing to Iranian. That is against all legal principles.

Wrong. Gates never programmed anything.

Like all socialists, you can’t bring yourself to accept that people actually earned what they have. Hang in there little buddy.

Wrong. Gates does not know how to program in modern programming languages. He only did a little primitive programming back in the beginning of DOS, in machine language.
Spearheading development means coordinating, not writing code.
You clearly never talked to Gates.
It is not at all computer literate.
He only knows marketing.

The company was 10 years old by the time they came up with Windows 1.0, and Windows was pretty much worthless trash no one wanted or would buy until 3.0.

I said Windows launched Microsoft. I didn’t say it founded it.

But the point is that launched mean initially floating it, and that was DOS.
They made hundreds of millions off DOS because IBM made it the standard, and everyone had to pay for it.
Even now, all computers when they first boot up have to make calls to DOS in BIOS, so they have to pay Gates for the royalties. The only exception are from an attempt by Intel to make UEFI as a replacement for DOS, and that is not very successful.
Microsoft's fortune is based on DOS and not Windows, with Windows 1.0 to 2.5 being extremely unpopular.
It is only Windows 3.0 that could start to make any profit at all, and it was still considered clunky, large, slow, and ungainly. It could not play games until 1995, and most games were still launched from DOS even if you were running Windows. It was not till DirectX that Windows could support gaming itself.

This is what we are supposed to be doing with our form of Constitutional government:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

You've be proven wrong over and over. Gates wrote Windows. You can't create an alternate reality.

Psst...corporations don't care if a platform can play games.

If you wanted to play games in 1985, you bought an Atari. If you want to play games in 2020, you buy an Xbox. In between, it was 100% Nintendo, Sega, and Playstation.

Only assholes have ever "gamed" on computers.

I'm surprised to find out that I am only 7/10ths of a person, according to Democrat Fraud Machines used in The 6 states that cheated.

Dr Shiva from MIT just proved Vote Swapping Live on TV at The Arizona Hearing.

130% of Democrats voted for Biden vs. -30% voted for Trump.

If you are a Republican, you are only 7/10ths of a person.

Based on the revelation from MIT Scientist Dr. Shiva, that Dominion Machines swapped votes counting Trump votes at 7/10ths of a vote, and Biden votes as 1.3 votes, here are the actual legal vote totals for the 2020 Election

President Trump 98,028,452 votes
Joe Biden 56,161,000

Gates managed the project to create Windows from a very high level.
He never wrote a single line of Windows code.
And the original 5 versions of Windows were so bad, that all the people who really did write the code, should have been fired and never wrote any code again. Even now, Windows is awful, and is only used because there really is not any other viable choices left, since Gates ruined all the other better companies.

Wrong.
Advertising, videos, html, or anything people want from the internet are essentially identical to games.
Buying an XBox to play games is stupid because you already need a computer for the internet, so you might as well just use that, since any computer can easily play games better than an XBox can. No one should ever buy an XBox. I got a deal on one last year, played it for a couple days, and dumped it. My computer was at least twice as good at games.
Almost all games are over the internet these days, like Candy Crush, and are much better on a computer than a game machine.
Anything real, like crash simulations, mathematical analysis, circuit simulations, CAD, drafting, art work, video editing, image manipulation, etc., requires gaming graphics.

MacOS is more than "viable". But Apple is expensive. Microsoft is much more affordable. Welcome to the free market, son!

Wrong. Advertising...are essentially identical to games.

We need a show called "welfare queen says the damndest things"

Listening to socialist make the most absurd claims because they cannot defend their ideology on its merits, is as comical as it is painful.

MacOS is public domain version of BSD UNIX.
Apple did not write it or pay for it.

To use a computer to do internet surfing, go to websites, show videos, look at art or images, etc., then you need the exact same graphics capability that games need. Which is not the command line text of DOS.
Before NT could do graphics well, it really was a fairly useless command line program.

I am, I have worked for Intel, IBM, HP, Sequent, and many other computer companies, including game companies .

And yet you just claimed you “need” a computer for the internet (when one can access it via a game console, iPad, and many other devices).

If you worked for any of those companies, you did so as a janitor

For those of you that are profoundly ignorant of the US Constitution (danielpalos, JoeB131, C_Clayton_Jones, etc.) it is time to educate yourselves. There is no excuse for your profound ignorance with all of the free content available to you.

I wouldn't believe Weasel Shapiro if he told me the sky was blue.

Here's the thing. The constitution is fine as a guideline, but it's not a suicide pact. If the majority votes for something, that should be it, the constitution be damned.
