Eh, she gets paid either way. Generally you don't get hired as a CEO of a large company without being morally dubious, unless nepotism is involved. Shareholders don't want an honest and just person in charge, after all.

At least 'The Shack' had some connection to the original name... X is just out of left field and has no connection at all to the product. Even ol' Zuck had the sense to only rename the parent company Meta and not the product itself.

So he's throwing away over a decade of brand recognition because he has some fetish about the letter x Seriously .. X.com(the one that merged with the company that created PayPal, not the NEW one), SpaceX and now renaming Twitter to X, not to mention the name of his kids X and Exa.

Spam away, as long as you're paying Musk. While this will reduce spam by maybe .01%, it will increase Twitter's revenue in the short term when said spam accounts actually start paying for twitter blue. Grifters will pay as long as there are enough potential victims to make it worthwhile(which...

The worst part is that the Latin equivalents of the letters they changed look pretty much the same in Hellenistic Greek as they do in Modern Latin. I guess going full Hellenistic and using Κλεοπάτρα would have just been too confusing to modern audiences.

There's also the fact that the Jewish religion doesn't really have a 'devil', at least not in the Christian sense. It was a somewhat snarky twist on the common phrase.

With any luck the court will reject said map and appoint a commission to draw a new one, as per the original ruling.

Young zombies have to learn somehow.

It's not like they could enforce said rule. I doubt they make their employees sign a binding contract complete with financial penalties for not discussing quitting with management first.

He's a wannabe fascist dictator, isn't that what they all try and do to secure power? The scary part is his followers would cheer such a move on despite the fact that once he pulls something like that off, they won't be any safer from his wrath than anyone else.

Which reminds me 'All Hail Clone Biden, may your genetic code endure for millennia.'

Heck, between V'Ger, Nomad, the Doomsday Machine, and the Whale Probe, I'm sure Star Fleet has a healthy skepticism towards AI drone ships even BEFORE taking in any of the stuff the recent shows have introduced.

Not so sure of that, at least on Federation ships. Kirk was able to take a heavily damaged constitution refit out of space dock and all the way to the former location of the Mutara Nebula with just an engineer, helmsman, navigator and a somewhat incapacitated MD. Federation starships have good...

So that's what The General was doing before he got a few promotions and started shilling car insurance.

Of course it won't even stop E2E encryption. The companies will just move their servers offshore to countries who have saner privacy laws. It will only hurt US citizens and companies.

It's been established that you can't replicate living tissue. Not sure if it's a limit of the technology or ethics regulations forbid it.

Would actually be funny if his supporters just gave him write-in-votes even IF he was barred from holding public office due to insurrection charges. Granted I'm not looking forward to 4 more years of Biden, but it sure beats having 4 to 8 years of whatever comes out of the Republican clown car...

It's in reference to this: https://www.tor.com/2016/10/17/the-answer-to-why-humans-are-so-central-in-star-trek/ and yes it does include turning a star into a torus.

It was the Vulcans who discovered the Hur'q ruins containing the Sword of Kahless shortly before the Dominion war and at that time the Federation already knew of the Dominions existence, though they weren't aware of the extent of the threat. The Federation includes the Vulcans and a bunch of...

All we really know of the Hur'q from proper sources is that their empire was large and originally from the Gamma Quadrant, they conquered Qo'noS, were eventually driven off Qo'noS by the Klingons and that the Federation has their DNA sequences on file. If they were Dominion forces, the...
