    And as far as advertisers are concerned the candy crush, farmville, and word with friends group is more valuable as they are exposed to alot more ads than the person playing mario on an xbox.

    Well yeah... that's because the former is a group numbering tens of thousands of players while the latter consists of exactly zero.

    Am I alone in thinking that the NSA doesn't really care about exploiting flaws in TOR but rather is more interested in encouraging its use because they've exploited something else?

    They have over a million preorders for their Chinese launch. Right now estimates place them at around 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 subscriptions (worth noting this was WoW's subscription count about 1 year in). With the Chinese launch they'll jump up to nearly half of WoW's current active subscription count of 6,500,000.

    The world doesn't end just because some people work 80+ hours per week while others don't work at all.

    I think, although I am not certain, that the people who want or desire short hour work weeks are pissed those that will work 40/50/80 hours a week because to them as long as there are those that are willing to work long hours the short hours they desire won't come to fruition. Just a guess though.

    Congressional approval rating is a bogus statistic that is used to create headlines from nothing. It is generally indicative of average opinion of the 532 senators and representatives that they have no influence over.

  19. Re:What? on 3 Congressmen Trying To Tie Up SpaceX · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well duh! Wouldn't you do the same thing? I mean, it's not like the government creates jobs or anything.

    For those not getting the sarcasm, one side of the political spectrum repeatedly trots out the mantra that the government does not create jobs, yet, using this situation, quite clearly the government does create jobs or these Congressman wouldn't be trying to prevent layoffs at these companies if they were to lose government business from the space program.

    The argument is that the government doesn't create wealth. While you can look at defense contractors as the government creating jobs it is at best intellectually dishonest. The government doesn't create wealth, it acquires from other parties and redistributes it to further parties. Those first parties, from which the taxes are collected, would have been otherwise able to use those tax monies which would have stimulated other businesses and created the need and opportunities for jobs. Now these specific jobs probably wouldn't exist and the jobs that would be here may not be as well paying but in a climate where we consider part time jobs replacing full time positions to be job creation, I hardly think that matters.
