    I think Microsoft can claim prior art on that.

    Easily explained by the spider bite giving him some kind of insight that the scientists don't have.

    Hey, if he can sense the immediate future and climb on walls why not?

    "Spends all his time with math" ... and sits in a corner calculating and reciting pie for 12 years before dieing due to lack of movement. It would be better to reduce the maths ability in order to give the person the ability to experience life.

    Kind of right I guess. Although it's not as much of a misnomer as calling the US's current system Capitalist.

    I'd much rather have health care up to my health care provider, and health insurance up to my insurance provider. Why should I be required to have maintenance and insurance in the same policy? It's these bundlings that really cause faults with any system.

    Car analogy:

    That's like saying the gas pedal is what makes the car go. Sure for 97% of drivers that's all that maters, but the real power comes from the mechanically complex portion under the hood.

  14. Re:It's because the view of IT is changing on IT Job Satisfaction Plummets To All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    "Back maybe a bit more than a decade ago, IT and everything around it (computers in general) were pretty specialized. IT technicians were well-respected almost to an engineering/scientist level."

    Strange how that was during a time when anybody that knew how to unscrew the cover of a computer could get VC in the millions.

    "Most were well-versed in their field; they were professional and experts in what they did."

    I think we went through different 10-12 year ago periods.

    You use that word, "Capitalism" i do not think it means what you think it means.

    And here again you prove the anti-healthcare arguments. You're healthcare is up to the whims of a politician. Compared to how it should be, I buy the amount of healthcare I want. Something we mostly don't have in the US but should be working towards not away from.

    "But with mommy and daddy having to work thirty percent more just to provide the same standard of living and real income as a single-breadwinner family in 1962, interaction with parents is increasingly in short supply."

    I think you're idea of same is a bit different than most. Sorry the standard has been raised several orders of magnitude. That is the reason for the double incomes and working more. People want more, and they're getting a lot more.

    somehow they stay in business. Perhaps "...reasonable to you..." should be in there somewhere due to the fact that a lot of people find them reasonable.

    Either that or they're being held at gun point to buy the plan.
