Seems to me that a single study, experimental result, etc. can overturn a whole field of knowledge. It's just that the majority of that field will take a while to understand that it's happened.
I think it's pretty neutral to say that I should get what I pay for and not have some toady at Time Warner deciding what's worthy of being passed along at advertised rate.
Umm...80% or more of code running businesses today is not hosted on a webserver.
All the things he mentions, including the web, are a thin veneer of cool on a core of mundane.
Things like your paycheck, 401k, benefits, scheduling, purchasing, sales, repair, shipping, renting, inventory, routing, tracking, etc. etc. etc. are all done on fairly large computers running dull code like COBOL and even FORTRAN. They may have Web interfaces built with all these wizbang thingies, but the real work happens in legacy systems that are solid as a rock because they don't change technologies every three years to something cooler than what they have now.
The mistake we made (and continue to make) with Al-Qaeda is that we did treat them like murderers. We captured them, gave them lawyers, rights, etc. They should have been and should be exterminated on the spot. Pissing on the bodies optional.
Wars seldom end through peaceful negotiations. They end because one side completely and utterly destroys the other.
I'd be happy if those fuckers just stopped overselling their bandwidth. I pay for the bandwidth but many times I get squat because everyone else is on the neighborhood cable loop. If the sell it, they need to be able to support it 24/7. This airline approach is bullshit.
Australia has a great garbage disposal system right off their west coast. Just toss these fuckers into the sea and the Great Whites will make them disappear.
All you have to worry about is PETA getting upset over feeding toxic wastes to the sharks.
Slashdot Mirror
You jest, but the majority of large, mission critical systems...payroll, point of sale, etc. are in COBOL...
When it's got to work, work all the time, handle million and millions of records, and can be maintained by college graduates, COBOL is the way to go.
... two four year olds poking each other, pulling each others hair, and calling each other names.
Sounds like the majority of Slashdot discussions to me.

Mortgage payment do come with the purchase of a House, which does have a sales tax.
As are cars, boats, planes, etc.
Curious, how would you view/tax people that have gazillions, but live modestly?
Hell, Sam Walton drove a fricken 20 year old truck until his family convinced him to get a new one...he got an F-150.
Send in Brad Pitt!
If you make $24k a year, you don't pay income tax and most likely get a nice wad a cash courtesy of the U.S. Tax payers.
That's how the Kryptonians ended up in deep shit.
Clearly, the adoption of Common Core, and indeed most modern eduction "theory", lends credibility to your assertion that 2+2=5.

They filled NY with garbage. and I'm not talking about themselves. Note that a bunch of A-listers flew in on private jets too.
I bet that only 1 in 4 knew why they were actually marching. The rest were there for the party.
They have repaved the road in front of my subdivision 3 fucking times in the last ten years.
The water Department has torn up the street in front of my house twice trying to fix a water leak.
Every time there is a thunderstorm the power goes out.
Where is Augustus when you need him?
Government makes a mess of a program
Government make s a website that touts the success of that program.
Do you see where I'm going here?
After all the lies (go ahead...deny they told us lies) do you really have faith that the stuff they are telling you now is true?
Is 12 million the number this week? You can never tell. It goes up and down willy nilly depending on the talking head.
I bet the reality is they have NO CLUE how many people signed up, paid, or used it.
Think back to High School.
Remember the people who were popular?
What did you think about them?
Yep, that's what we have now.

It would be better than the Beta version I bet.

Ha!
Most likely not.
And very nice roads to run your Mustang on. Watch out for cows though!
I did say "small". :-)
Well, $80k will get you a pretty decent small RV, which I could drive to work!
For $80k, I'll just get that...or a small house.
No mention of Penny's Tits.
Useless.
