You mean you can tell where one stops and the other begins? You must have a better glasses prescription than I do. To me, I see that I have exactly one cable provider and exactly one DSL provider, and know that the municipality is to blame.
When was the last time you have seen kids play outside, climbing trees and skinning knees?
Yesterday, actually, when my six year old skinned his knee on the playground after school. I told him I knew it stung, but he's better stop bawling about it or the other kids would laugh at him.
I say find someone who completely understands Primer and put that person in charge. Clearly, such a person has already demonstrated the ability to understand absolutely anything about time changes.
Actually, the game embedded in a James Bond movie was the one called Domination, in Never Say Never Again. And it wasn't in a basement, it was, naturally, in a casino.
You shouldn't compare it against Asteroids, you should compare it against Star Raiders for the 8-bit series Atari home computers. It was much, much more advanced. In fact, it's still kind of awesome.
Why do people who don't understand American culture always feel qualified to comment on "American" things? We're not one culture, we're a patchwork of many different cultures, and the Christians you're talking about aren't part of science fiction fandom, and thus are irrelevant to its ratings (or lack thereof) on GooFy.
Which of the founders of Paypal was libertarian? [citation needed]
Peter Thiel, who's gone on to fund libertarian projects like the Seasteading Institute. But he and the other founders of PayPal sold out to eBay years ago, so you can't blame him for its current morally bankrupt decisions.
Also, in general, an e-reader isn't as flexible as a netbook in what you can achieve. E-readers make lousy netbooks. Netbooks make decent e-readers.
Netbooks make shitty e-readers. It's very awkward to use them sideways, which is the only way a page is visible with decent resolution without scrolling. Netbooks have their place, they're great for versatility when one needs to travel light, but that's it. For an e-reader, the tablet form factor is the only one that makes sense.
Farming subsidies exist so western countries don't have to rely on third world dictators and their enslaved workers for their daily bread.
If policy makers in Western countries cared about this, they'd have done more to discourage import of oil from the various despotic countries that now supply it. Western countries have no problem at all with dictatorships so long as the dictators in question are in their pocket.
Africa is an entire continent, they should be able to bootstrap their economies by selling to one another. It would need a good unified plan however.
Yes, a solid, far-reaching agreement for free trade and free movement -- with the caveat that if it's longer than one page, it's not really a free trade agreement.
To summarise the article: indie cafes bad, but on the First of Some Month Starbucks will give you free internet for as long as you want. Not "a major chain of coffee houses" but STARBUCKS.
How much was this person being paid to plug a company's offerings?
I feel the opposite way. When an article obfuscatorily refers to "a major player in the [whatever] industry" I think it sounds weirder than when they just say which particular business they mean.
I know what you mean. I get why you might use a cloud-oriented OS on a phone or even a tablet, but I wonder who they think the market is for a PC running WebOS. It certainly isn't me.
Similarly, my elderly mother is now excited about Linux because her computer was crawling on Windows but now runs smoothly on Ubuntu. What great marketing for us! Keep up the good work!
If you're saying philanthropy is unethical, you're essentially saying wealth is unethical. The system that doesn't allow people to become wealthy has been tried, and based on the results, you can keep it, thanks.

Yes, but it can't be helped. Empires are expensive, you know.
Heh, I was wondering whether I was the only person old school enough to be thinking of H.G. Wells and his Selenites.
But this may prove to be a useful skill in a world with lots of AIs: q.v., Star Trek Liar Paradox

Not all Americans are namby-pamby safety Nazis.

Maybe if we do find a suitable planet, you and the rest of the racist "third position" can go live there in monochromatic solitude.
Besides, unambiguous words like "unencumbered" and "liberated" already exist in English, so importing "libre" is unnecessary.

Right and it was rated R. And that probably only because there's no "R and a half" rating.

Right, same question. Maaaaaaaybe on a netbook. But a desktop machine? Seriously?

Yes, how fortunate we are to have churchy people to show us how to behave....~

You sound like Sinclair trying to convince G'Kar that he really didn't miss the right time to hold the G'Quan Eth ritual. But if it's good enough for G'Kar, it's good enough for me.
For some reason my brain ended your Sun Tzu quote with Ricardo Montalbán saying, "It is very sunny... in spaaaaaaaace...."
