Because the internet companies are charged via data size.
Think the links between countries - these are charged by capacity.
How do you think it should be charged instead? Or should it just be free?
Society is changing to interact less in person, and more via electronics.
Tell me more about this electronic breeding you are suggesting?
Austism as an evolutionary step? Not likely, but todays society is more likely to allow autistic people to survive and to cope and even to breed than past ones.
ps: if only autism did mean 'good at math!' - our's takes too many short cuts and struggles where she should succeed. She's great at sport trivia though!
ps further: and a bit later on I see that sOnicfreak seems to have also worked out this electronic breeding! I think that's what he's saying anyway.
yes people, this is an interesting discussion, but we do really want to know about the efficiency of unicorn farts. I've heard so much mentioned of them lately but no hard core mathematics or science about it. Do we need to ask the CSIRO for an opinion once they have finished their dragon reasearch?
Why would you want to cry? You got emotional problems you want to tell us about?
You do want to read the article and think about it since that is the whole point of these sort of articles.
He started a company, he left, people want to know why, its tech and gaming related so its totally relevant.
So AC go off and cry about your lack of imagination and sense of interesting.
who is talking PCs? Computers is the word. Cray made (still make?) fairly good computers. And so do many of the others. And why pointing out when Apple started - the discussion is THE MAC. For an AC you really are pretty dumb.
It's implied in the film that he's somehow either passing the phone company the right signals to make his calls free
- this needs to be even mentioned on slashdot? oh dear, where has the geek cred gone? And you say 'somehow' - this was standard cracker practice back then.
Without chemo I'd be dead. Bowel cancer, spreading through the lymph, chemo got it and stopped all but one tumour, later removed.
So yes, "Radiation causes cancer and chemo is a poison." but they do work. Don't take AC's advice and ignore these treatments.
It is moronic not to. Daughters' school implemented this this year (in Australia). Cheaper than text books, lighter in carrying than the full bag the older one had to transport the year before, more effective. I was doubtful early, but it has to be considered a success.
Apple - Ipad -> yeah we can hate apple, but give me another suggestion that would work better? Apple did it back when I was a kid making a good education environment, and it seems they've done it well here again.
then go to gog.com and get them. The original Bards Tales are included with the 2005ish Bards Tale game. Steam has it as well. Even Androids and Ipads have it. Actually, send me the good money and I'll forward you my copy! Mmm,. good money, its the best sort.
"Didn't the Romans have societal problems when they introduced lead-lined aqueducts?"
Interesting thought to bring in - one of the failings of Roman society was when it no longer became civic duty to serve in the military and perform public service, sorta what the book is encouraging us to do.
bullshit - I played competitive sport till a week before my bowel cancer surgery, and had a healthy diet. Many cancers are just random, or some people are just more vulnerable. 10 years earlier I had a cancerous kidney removed - also random, not lifestyle caused. Guess I must just be vulnerable, but no there is no link they can find.
In the chemo rooms, where I'm treated every 2 weeks for the last 3 years, you'll find it full of normal people, ones who exercised and ones who didn't. Some who smoked many who didn't.
So no, don't make crap generalisations.
Stupidity in your case, well maybe yes that is self inflicted.
I think its probably likely that this is the time in human pre-history when sun-gods worship overtook moon-god worship, which therefor broke the icy hold on earth's climate, so yes, it is human caused climate change.
If you send extra power into your scanner you can burn away each page as you copy them.
Just make sure you bury the carbon ash after, you don't want that in the atmosphere.
You do realise that in Australia, "liberal" means "the type of folks that Murdoch usually aligns himself with", don't you?
.
Interestingly, the Australian Liberal Party is composed of Liberals, as once represented my Malcolm Fraser, and Teabagging Conservatives, as once represented by John Howard, and now Tony Abbott. Two competing idealogies in the one party, and unfortunately the anti-science teabaggers have taken it over.

Mutant Koalas are the real concern. The current ones are already dangerous enough with their pissing and scratching.
But do they research the dear and the roos? Maybe the now-unempolyed Japanese researchers can come over and research these animals instead?

which one of the two genesis creation stories does he want to talk about?
Cosmos covers 20billion years, Creation covers 6000. So no it shouldn't be equal time, it should be a direct ratio of time between the concepts.
they don't know what it looks like when its fresh-ly eaten brains.

maybe add a couple of wind turbines as well?
but we could use the power to fire lasers at those moon people

but it is important - people are writing wrong things on the internet and it must be fixed!

It's hawaii, can't they just pump the excess electricity into their volcanoes and get it out again when they need it?

"terrified of change and blacks and gays" - I think you may have missed something here. He had no problems with any of that.
I think you may be confusing this universe with a newtonian one. I don't think the physics laws of this one have a get out clause for god to know all.
