Words can be copyrighted and licensed. Otherwise books and scientific journals protection are also meaningless. What some commenters do is just stating that their content is licensed under a certain term in the addition of whatever else the EULA/ToS for the service imposed on, provided there is no conflict.

Edit: Just to be clear, I am just stating the status quo and not defending it. I think copyright law needs to be reformed altogether.

When it prevents you from doing day to day tasks, or even tormenting enough to make you depressed most of the time, then it clearly starts being a disorder. Otherwise, it's just normal human behaviour.

Huh. To be fair, I can see A on adobe logo but also delta on the delta logo. I think the negative space on the adobe logo makes the A more stand out, but the delta logo isn't using much of the negative space, hence the delta is more prominent. But I don't know if that is enough to not be trademark infringement.

The word parameters here must be defined. Is it the weight they are talking about or the input being used to answer the question? For the former, yeah, it's like a person was reading a book and not an open book at all. But if it were used in the input, then it is practically an open book. They have the context on the same input.

Correct me if I am wrong, isn't a simple firewall that blocks incoming and outgoing connection is basically impenetrable? Because when something tries to connect, then the connection is dropped immediately unless on a certain port. If even the connection attempt were ignored, how would an exploit achieve some form of connection? Unless we are talking about application level firewall or deep packet inspection

Wait, why? What does knowing a perfect state of system has to do with the law of thermodynamics?

Yes, a person can have skill in both surgery and cooking. I do not dispute that. Even surgery is too broad as it contains a more specific skill set. But you cannot say that a surgeon is more skilled than a burger flipper. Then how about a surgeon and software engineer? Which one is more skilled? I hope you get my point this time

Well, forgive my english then as it is not my native tongue if I really misinterpret something. And as I said, I think more skill implies skill has a level, not in difficulty mind you but in terms of proficiency. And yes, skill does have proficiency but you cannot compare those proficient in surgery to those that are proficient in flipping burgers. Someone can be more proficient at surgery than another, but to say a surgeon is more skilled with a burger flipper is just as wack in my opinion. Let's put it this way then, maybe the disparity is too big between surgeon and burger flipper. How about a software engineer and a surgeon? Which one is more skilled? See? It doesn't make sense as a concept. Even if learning it takes less effort and hurdles, you cannot compare different sets of skills.

Ahh, I see what you mean. Thanks for explaining it

Being wrong about being a pedant or on opinion? Also, the reply doesn't specify any correction, just stating that I don't know what being pedantic and unskilled is. And I do admit I am being pedantic from my understanding of pedantic, hence the current discussion. I do love to argue for the sake of arguing. I can learn a lot from arguing. So if people would like to debate me, feel free to do so. Please state what about my statement that is wrong?
