Considering that there are still many things in physics that haven't been solved yet I think your assertion is flawed. For example why does matter behave like both a wave and a particle? Is anyone close to solving that one yet?
Yes I have. I guess your point is that you wouldn't be able to do it in the theatre. But you could still perform the script which is the point I was making.
Yes it's amazing how private enterprise, only 50 years after NASA first put someone in space has managed to build a spaceship that hasn't actually put anyone in space yet. Hooray for the free market!
Sounds like a recipe for a much larger and more expensive bureaucracy to me. Rather than taking a simple 20% you have to monitor every single use of government services by every individual.
But if you can't pay for those things they are still provided. Please try to remember that simple concept. You think things were better with small government. Perhaps you should read the history of your country some time.
The lack of experience puts you at the bottom of the food chain, you have to compete with me, and my 20 years of writing software, and the thousands of others like me.
Do people with 20 years of experience only do entry level jobs these days. That really sucks!
I reckon that making a computer that only allows multi-tasking for certain applications is a pretty crap idea as well. This, apparently, is the case for it: http://smokingapples.com/opinion/multi-tasking-iphone-ipad/ which makes perfect sense on a phone but zero sense on a computer.
Well I haven't worked on any COBOL since 2004 but I doubt the world has been taken over by COBOL Framework Overlords since then. I worked for a dozen organisations between 1989 and 2004 and only came across a crappy framework idea in two of them, one of which was an incomprehensible monster that took a great deal more skill, intelligence and determination than your mythical cut and paste programmer would have.
Never used that IBM tool, or even heard of it before today. And just because IBM have a code generator tool doesn't mean that everyone (or for that matter anyone) uses it.
As for copying code from one program to another - I challenge you to find any programmer who hasn't done that.
There is no all-encompassing Enterprisey mindset - every organisation I worked for did things in a different way.
I could point out all the differences there are between COBOL and Java, I could point out that frameworks exist for many more languages than just them (and I don't remember COBOL having anything like the huge framework Java has in any case) but I'll just leave you to your delusions.

Give them time.
"Legal gun ownership lowers crime, and it lowers it safer and cheaper than any other method available."
So it doesn't really?
That means that the US should have about the lowest crime rate in the developed world. Does it?
Either is permissible in my version of English (GB). Now fuck off.
Does it? http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9127978/Apple_iPhone_Jailbreak_hack_violates_the_law
Do you allow a bank to hold the only "copy" of your money? Why do you trust them?
Don't forget Gates' Law where software speed halves every 18 months.
The Fermi Paradox has one fatal flaw. How do we know what the evidence of a visit by advanced aliens looks like?

The company that produced them has had a pretty good run though.
Speak fucking English dammit.

Movies are a more convenient form of theatre which has existed for a very long time too.

My government provides me with a lot of services whether I can pay them or not. Corporations won't do anything for me without payment.
Sorry I'm not normally so anal - I won't do it again I promise :-)

And of course the only way to kill people is with a gun. You can't use a knife, a club or an improvised bomb or anything like that.
DRM is anything but loose. I'm assuming you mean lose.
Less objective than the Sun, the Star, the Express and the Mail? Are you living in the same country as me?

Merchandising does make a lot of money. Just ask George Lucas or those responsible for Ben 10 to name just two.
