  8. Stock market on Ask Slashdot: Why Won't Companies Upgrade Old Software? · · Score: 1

    Companies nowadays only bother about their stock price, everything they do is related to this.

    the only location in the company where you have up to date machines is where they handle buying and selling stocks with the money they have in the bank between the time consumers pay for the products, and the time (up to 6 months or so) they pay their providers.

    the rest of the company really doesn't matter, as long as it ca keep the flow of money coming in...

  14. all hail our new found robotic slave on A Humanoid Robot Named "Baxter" Could Revive US Manufacturing · · Score: 1

    HAH... very nice to know robotic slaves are now cheaper than chinese slaves... BUT

    This doesn't solve the problem of how people will pay for the tons of MOAR USELESS PLASTIC SHIT that is going to be unloaded on them at amazon, unless capitalism just gives up, and everything is given out for free

    see, there's a finite amount of potential buyers of shit, and, for now, they need money

    to buy it. Replacing all those people with robotic slaves will prevent the distribution of money in payment of work done to produce the shit. Nobody will this be able to buy the stuff, and capitalism will thus fall on it's head

  19. Re:Energy Dependence is tricky at best on Is an International Nuclear Fuelbank a Good Idea? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    because, so far, Iran is a wholly independent nation, that hates the US so much that there is no way in hell they'll ever allow a US citizen to roam the country free at anytime, and I'm not even talking about visiting their nuclear enrichment sites As to Israel, they've been secretly building atomic bombs for the last 40 or so years... Considering that Iran will back down on their Nuclear Bomb building project is, at best misguided, from the US / Israel side
