It's a joke. The original text pager was called 'more' (because it prompted you to press a key for more pages). A few years later, a better pager called 'less' was introduced. These are the de-factor text pages on Unix and Linux systems.
My apologies if you were trying to make your own joke, but you actually sounded like you don't know.
That's the basic idea behind companies like Red Hat (GNU/Linux) and Command Prompt (Postgresql). Are you saying that those companies are giving OSS a bad name?
The US governement can't even get off their ass to build a 30ft high fence along our southern border even though they got congressional approval and have millions of people wanting it
Who wants it?
Do the politicians really want it? Or would they rather have an imminent threat of "illegals" to whip everyone else into a frenzy with?
Do the rich want it? Or would they prefer to hire cheap labor?
Do businesses want it? Or would they prefer to hire cheap labor and sell to them?
Do most citizens want it? Or do they not really care?
They both teach you how to get the most out of a set of tools, but formal education concentrates on the tool that is your brain -- how to think, how to organize information, how to accommodate new ideas and facts. How to use your brain.
JIT training is commonly known as on-the-job-training, and is not a new idea. But it works best when the student is already educated.
It doesn't matter which email service(s) a foreign government uses, or where the mail is stored. What matters is where the email is routed on its way from sender to recipient. There's nothing to stop the NSA from reading the email if the messages or network packets are "accidentally" routed through the US on their way from one foreign address to another. Not even laws protecting citizens, since it's not a citizen's data.
The video was over a minute, watching two images flip back and forth every couple of seconds with cheesy music in the background.
No voice over, no explanation, no real utility to the video. Showing the two static snapshots in a super-imposable way would have been a cooler use of technology.
thousands of years of evolution have taught us not to bury dead people in the garden.
I don't think evolution had anything to do with that, and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with burying people in the garden. Europeans used to surround their churches with graves, with few ill effects to the people attending the church.
We bury or cremate our dead for sanitary reasons, but I think we confine our corpses to cemeteries for cultural reasons.
Ion drives aren't very useful for start-stop type operations, they work best as a continuous thrust drive where you don't ever plan on slowing down.
So you accelerate half-way there, turn around, and accelerate in the opposite direction for the remaining half. The engine never needs to shut down and bam! you're parked right where you need to be.
I don't think the moon stretched our technological limits by any means. All the basic technology required for a moon landing existed before the goal was announced - no new and revolution computer or rocket design required. It was more of a project-management problem - how to engineer rockets powerful enough, how to ensure reliablity, how to guarantee the trip went off without a hitch. The decade from announcment to landing was spent training people and figuring out how to build bigger.

That's assuming you have a full-time job, which isn't always the case. Some people have to scratch up two or three part-time minimum wage jobs.
Who wants it?
Really. Do these guys know something the rest of us don't?
Rule 34, remember?
especially when once customers discover the ease of buying books online, they might stop being customers.
People will buy and use a Kindle anyway. Why not get a cut?
You're conflating skills training with education.
They both teach you how to get the most out of a set of tools, but formal education concentrates on the tool that is your brain -- how to think, how to organize information, how to accommodate new ideas and facts. How to use your brain.

The U.S. has been scoring poorly relative to other countries for decades now, and continues to be the world leader in innovation and productivity
Imagine what we, as a nation, could achieve if we were well educated.
Basically, it's your paycheck given to you on a debit card.
Whoosh, you took the meaning backwards, but thanks for reaffirming two stereotypes at once!

That doesn't prove that copyright is broken, only that the licensing system doesn't work well (or fairly).
May I introduce you to the MacBook Wheel

That particular line read like SimCity 2000's newspaper "articles"
See #1: middlemen don't like being cut out.
One thing they both have in common: neither is actually available for sale
experts have shown interest in reproducing the experiment
Or not reproducing, as the case may be.

Well, it was good enough for Microsoft...
You're forgetting that, under the current system in the US, no one owes you a job. If you have a job, no one owes you more than minimum wage.
So what if you have a mortgage and bills to pay? That's your problem, not your employer's.
... many Pentium 4 machines running Win XP are still being used ...
You're reading skills are also just "fucking retarded." He didn't say that his company runs P4s.
Pot, meet kettle.
