It is more that that though- it is adaptability. A race that can be war like but also can be caring and nurturing is going to be more likely to survive than a race that just does one or the other.
I hate to say it but most of the 'criminality' we see in humans are really just survival traits that are useful for ensuring survival if there is a breakdown in society.
This is what differentiates appliances from a PC. What are people expecting? Why should Sony waste time and resources on optional firmware updates? Ultimately the additional cost would be passed on to consumers.
Well maybe they didn't want to spend money validating these configurations, so instead of dealing with the headache of customers creating unsupported configurations they make them physically incompatible.
How many dental offices have you seen with the term 'dental arts' on the sign? I don't want an artist working on my teeth, I want a dentist! If you haven't noticed already the term art has been so misused that it doesn't mean anything anyways.
Why not be satisfied that video games are video games? Why can't things just be what they are?
So how are they supposed to grow their business? Of course, new and more expensive treatments that drive up costs so they can skim even more. Contrary to what many believe, insurance companies want costs to keep increasing as long as they can jack up rates.
Not to mention the analogy in the original article is kind of silly. How long did it take for electricity to become pervasive in rural areas? 30, 40 years? And yes, there are still places in the United States with no electrical service.

Yeah, you have to wonder what C.S. Lewis would say about this quote being applied to a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE.

I can understand- 99% of cpus are never upgraded, so why should INTEL waste engineering resources on the 1% that do?

By your criteria running up to someone and kicking them in the shins is 'art'
Ridiculous.
...good thing we put them out of their misery by eating them.
Not off the top of my head, but I could probably figure out how to do any of these things given a little time.
What would Dweezil (Frank Zappa's son) be worth if you used all seven letters and managed to put it on a triple word score....
You work with Mr. Creosote?

Well it is possible too that we could stop emitting 100% of the CO2, and the earth will still warm up. What are we going to do about that?
There aren't many inelastic systems in nature like the example you have given.
We know that water and plants will absorb co2 faster if there is more available.
Please state examples of how we have removed 'carbon sinks'
...hammer manufacturer claims everything is a nail....
If the average programmer starts is making 60K that means that half of them make less than that. ;-)
Thank you for making the maths work
Let's worry about it when robots that fall into this scenario actually exist.
So if you work at a newspaper you should have a printing press in your basement.
Get real.
When I started out in IT I had my own site and domain email but got tired of maintaining it. If anything having a named domain email makes you a nOOb.
They will know that you use your companies business account for non business activities.
I thought flash not working is a feature.
The question is two-fold: why have a technically sophisticated, anti-technical movie, and why are we drawn to it?
Because people lap this **** up.
I will be collecting my 100% discount on this movie.
How many years before slashdot enters the post-"IT gender naval gazing" period?
Do not see this movie.
