Some are actually improving the software though... It's just not always done.

Thing is, that's how perpetual licences work... As long as you don't make copies to resell, that's how any perpetual licence works. If you are only required to pay once of software, not a subscription, no matter whether they call it a service or not, it's a perpetual licence. Any software you have to pay for on a regular basis to play is a limited licence, and they can terminate the licence at any time legally. If you only pay once for unlimited access: Perpetual licence, and legally they can not stop you from doing anything you want with it for your own use. If you have to pay more than once: Limited licence, and they can terminate your access to it at any time, without legal consequence.

Since the IAU seems to not want to use a logically based definition for what is and isn't a planet, I'd like to propose something that can actually be applied to any solar system, (or even rogue planets, not in orbit around a star) not just our own. Here's what I have so far. Stellar Object: Star, Black Hole, Binary/Trinary/Qauternary Star, etc. Primary planetary orbit: Stable orbit around central Stellar Object. Secondary planetary orbit: Eccentric orbit around central Stellar Object. Planet: Gravity meeting or exceeding 1.00m/s, exceeding 1000km diameter, sphereoid or oblate sphereoid with less than 10% average deviation. Not a Stellar Object. Dwarf Planet: Gravity between 0.01m/s and 1.00m/s, exceeding 1000km diameter, sphereoid or oblate sphereoid with less than 10% average deviation. Not a Stellar Object. Moon: Any object exceeding 0.01m/s gravity in stable orbit around a Planet or Dwarf Planet. Not a Stellar Object. Can still be a Planet or Dwarf Planet. Binary/Trinary/Quaternary/Etc. Planet: Any Planet or Dwarf Planet with a Moon that causes the system to have a center of mass (barycenter) above the surface any of the Planets/Dwarf Planets.

Sure it's not BBEG?

Yes, I do. Anyone ever read a serious novel to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb?

Bleh. Ble-bleh.

I'm personally a fan of LMDE... Stable, but stays up to date at the same time. Supports anything that would work in Debian, plus it has a more Windows-like UI. I use it on 2 of my personal systems.

Yeah, it definitely wasn't me. Timestamp that was on the change showed it occurring shortly after Annie replied to me in the General American Politics thread.

No. I'm sick of this deliberate twisting of my words that I get any time I state something any of you disagree with. This isn't the first time either. *assume I said something additional that would get me banned here, because that's what I really want to say to you* -

Now here's another using a different strawman, completely ignoring my original point yet again. You keep proving my point. -

Is your reading comprehension off or something? I said you didn't have much of an argument because of how annoying they themselves are, and now you just proved my point by using a strawman argument. -
Well, he was the opposite of "observant" during his entire "I should be more observant" rant, so it just kinda frustrated me. I understand it, but it still doesn't stop the frustration.

How about being so annoyingly outspoken that there's a "pride" rally blocking traffic every other month for that 2-4.5% of the population. -
It's not a question of "need"... I just want to be able to do real-time raytracing in the 2 games that I expect to get that will have it... Mechwarrior 5, and Cyberpunk 2077.

It really frustrated me when he refused to acknowledge all the goodies in the room with the corpse just because...

Considering just how much more annoying an even smaller percentage of LGBT people can get, I don't think you have room for argument on this one.
