"If you take productive money and piss it away on boondoggle projects instead of useful purposes then it's a complete loss for the economy."
What about the most massive boondoggle project in history: World War II?
Massive increase in government spending, massing increase in government debt and massive increase in taxes all to build highly specialized equipment, ship it over seas and where it gets blown up.
The result: decades of economic growth and prosperity ending only with the rise of neo-Liberalism.
She has the power to resolve conflicts between the executive and the legislative branches of government, usually replacing the executive with someone that the legislature can support or by forcing an election. Recent experience has shown that is something that could be useful in the United States
Sounds like they are arbitrarily defining computing as a simulation of the universe, therefore the actual universe cannot compute. I think this unnecessarily limiting people's imagination.
Besides, from the inside of a simulation its all real to you.
If you look into what caused the banking crisis of 1998, the gentle dance between companies and insurers turned into a disastrous death spiral of greed and stupidity. The Libertarian solution of letting the banks fail would have caused a depression, the mother all externalities.
I thought the whole point of these elaborate DRM schemes was to prevent the movies from being played in an emulated or virtualized envirnment where the video could be intercepted.
One advantage of these 3rd party email services is that you can't tell who is emailing who without getting access to their servers. It seems some of them are willing to go out of business to prevent that.
Some people could choose to buy "hand crafted" and some people could choose to make it. That doesn't mean it would be anything like the situation we have now when virtually everyone has to sell their labour to someone (slavery).
"It is to have total control over all aspects of everyone."
This is the first I've heard of this. Can you explain further.
What do we do went human labour is a product that no one needs to buy? Why worry about the big evil socialist government stealing the product of your labour when your labour isn't worth anything?
What if you care about the conditions under which the product was made (because you're not a soulless utility maximizing entity). Then the manufacturer's identity is important.
The old Palm watch came with a tiny stylus that let you write on the touch screen using their Graffiti system. A normal palm had a separate part of the screen for writing. The watch has some why of switch the screen from tapping mode to writing mode.
The 1986 game Starflight required you to look up things in a code wheel. If you failed it would still let you play, but after a while a swarm of unbeatable police ships would arrive to destroy you for copyright violations.

No tiles, yet, but the Mac App Store was introduced a few years ago.
You raise a good point. Maybe people are moving left socially, but right economically.
If the thing was life, NASA would be highly secretive about it until everything has been checked and reviewed and the President make the announcement.
The Raspberry PI is both very small and very cheap while maintaining the flexibility of a desktop computer makes it an exceptionally versatile device.

Aren't there a couple FOSS compilers that support Delphi to a greater or less degree?

Using the word "evildoers" in a context other then a Saturday morning cartoon means that he is brainwashed.
Interesting.

They probably said that about the ENIAC, too.

If it does, why bother?

I'm sure some of them try do something, although I'm sure some of them are dead now. Do we abandon them?
Of course, most people just go with the flow. Do you condemn them for being human?
Despite this setback conditions in Somalia are improving. Pretty good for the most lawless place in the world.
The people engaging in these attacks represent a minority of the people who live there.
"improving at a more rapid rate than networks in most developed countries"
I guess that's because the US has the most room for improvement.

Actually the next step would be to replace capitalism, as it no longer makes sense in a post-scarcity society.
Far enough to capture 90% of the work that goes into the product.
What if you care about the conditions under which the product was made (because you're not a soulless utility maximizing entity). Then the manufacturer's identity is important.
He could sell the patent to someone who can.
Maybe stimulating intellectual stuff can attract a fair number of viewers, but not the kind of people desired by advertisers.
