I have to agree. I've been around long enough to remember when people built their own Web sites. First, they built crappy sites on the space their ISP gave them, than, when sites like Geocities and Tripod came along, many of them moved there.
Blogs are really just evolved versions of Geocities and Tripod. Just easier for the masses to use.
But he didn't so I guess he wouldn't have. That's like saying, I would have gone to Harvard if I had worked harder and my grades in high school were better. But I didn't.
Reminds me of a Disney movie or maybe the TV series. Lilo and Stitch. The aliens want to destroy the Earth, but a couple of aliens and kid save the Earth by convincing the Galactic Council that mosquitoes are an endangered species. Nobody else even realized how close the Earth came to being destroyed.
I have to disagree with you on that. Tornadoes seem to really like to hit the same place.
Here is the data from where I used to live. There were over 30 tornado's within 10 miles in the last 30 years. Anecdotal maybe, but I know that one car dealership had damage it seemed like once every year for 3 years.
I was expecting something much more dramatic. As in the mother catfish sacrificing herself to save her babies from the rabid rats with wings. Not, here's a fish that does things like some other animals.
I would agree with you, but the United States govt. (Dems, Repbubs, Congress, Senate, both Presidents) have shown that a company can be too big to fail, and will actively give them money to make sure they don't. I figure that Microsoft is now in that category. Even if the US wouldn't bail them out, I figure the EU probably would, but I'm not as conversant if they are still primarily using Microsoft products like the US govt/companies/schools/regular people.
It's almost like someone had a time machine during the anti-trust trial and knew that if they split Microsoft into different companies, that would make the Microsoft ecosystem a bigger threat than if they just let it be one giant company that would fail after so many years.
My wife is a nurse, and yes they are not allowed to call in sick. It's an automatic write-up and that's if you have a doctors note stating you were sick. I'm sure it's close to termination if you don't have note.
Or it could be that places in the Northeast have the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. That means that non-criminals don't have guns, while the criminals do.
What country do you live in, what are your gun laws, and what is your murder rate?
Or maybe you're just karma whoring with your anti-America comments.
I once thought this way too. But it is possible. Instead of a $1 USD buying a loaf a bread, it might actually buy 4 loaves of bread. I wish I could find the post that pointed this out, but I'm too lazy. We would still have money, but it would be worth more in the long run.
I always hate to post this, but I wish I had mod points for your post. That explains why this article is news. Expect the market to go down again soon.
I think that's the problem with American birth rates. As a whole they are declining, but I would like to see a study done on how they are changing based on salary?
I would expect that the higher income levels would be closer to 1, while the lower income levels would be closer to 3.
Microsoft assuredly wants to sell you hard drives. Don't get the 4gb model, I spent almost as much time deleting saves for Skyrim as I did playing Skyrim.
That's really my problem with the theory. I may be applying Occam's Razor (not by the theory, but by other peoples opinions of religion) incorrectly here, but I think it is much easier to say that a deity created most of the life, and then created a method by which they could be changed.

How bout an MBA from Phoenix Online?
But he didn't so I guess he wouldn't have. That's like saying, I would have gone to Harvard if I had worked harder and my grades in high school were better. But I didn't.
The real question is
Is he going to delete all his roms now that he no longer owns the cartridges?
How long until the *IAA comes after him for illegal copies of roms.
I fear living in a galaxy where humans are the most advanced civilization. I want my aliens to be better and smarter than us.

I normally wouldn't post this, but oh to have mod points today. You really need to be modded up. So much useful information in your post.
I never thought of that.
I think they eat pythons in foreign countries, and I've heard that rattlesnakes taste pretty good. But it's like everything else. Tastes like chicken.

Of course my evidence doesn't mean anything since I have only my wife to "study". She has been diagnosed with anxiety and depression.
It seems that she really has a problem with facebook, but she doesn't use multiple devices at the same time. I would second your belief.

Yeah $10,000 seems really low for a company to spend on development. Over a tenth of that cost would be just for a Visual Studio license.
Although it seems to be high for phone/tablet game. I'm sure that some of the game studios spend a lot more than that on their games, though.

Someone should write a short story about that.
My wife is a nurse, and yes they are not allowed to call in sick. It's an automatic write-up and that's if you have a doctors note stating you were sick. I'm sure it's close to termination if you don't have note.
That might be racial profiling if we did it. Can't have that. Must keep groping old ladies and young girls in wheelchairs. That's the American way.

I have to agree with you, if I believed in origin evolution.

So I can run linux on it when they have a fire sale next year. :)
Well-thought, and well-written.
