Depends on the type of business. Web design or computer related stuff is fairly light on it I'll admit, but anything requiring insurance or inventory tracking is enough to scare off anyone who isn't a dedicated lover of paper shovelling.
GP's original point was trying to apply this to a small business startup attempt, not working your way through a gigantic corporation that is already massively successful.
You forget that real businesses require real work, and are a whole lot harder to progress in than a game that is engineered to let you slowly creep up the ladder of success no matter how inept you are.
Then the text books should reflect this instead of just sweeping all mention of religion under the carpet and pretending that the USA has been some sort of atheist utopia for its entire history.
What about the older founders of America? The Pilgrims weren't exactly sparkling examples of atheism, and they're one of the reasons you're not speaking Spanish right now.
Hello? Do you know why the Mayflower landed on your shores in the first place?
"Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another..."
I don't think cutting every mention of God out of your history books will make a fair and balanced history lesson. Even if you don't want to admit it, religion has played a massive part in your nation's history. It's just that the text books you were raised on chose to leave out these facts...
Yes. These books may cross over to being balanced in religion's favour, but you need to have somebody educated that way to argue with the fruits and nuts from California and create a real balance.
Same way you market any other type of battery or fuel. It could be a fairly efficient way to store a large burst of electricity to a mobile device. Yes, you will have to actually harvest the energy from elsewhere, same as with any other power source, but that factor doesn't make this any less useful than a combustion engine.
Cheers to a boring old age then. They didn't even find anything more complex than your run of the mill elements and a few ordinary molecules. Calling them "organics" is borderline dishonest, all of them can be created inorganically.
Let's wait until we find such a thing, shall we? Amino acids and oxygen do not a galactic civilization make.
I don't see anywhere in the article that they even mention what kind of "organics" they found though.
So far they've discovered chemicals that may or may not be somewhat similar to organic compounds.
So unless you're really worried that the dirt under your feet believes in a supreme deity, you probably don't have to worry about these aliens believing in one either.
Why would you think it would actually be easier for a drone to get through?
Because you can afford to swarm them. Do you know how much a Tu-95 bomber costs? Divide by $500, and you've got the number of toy flying bombs you might have to contend with instead. If you're spending tens of thousands to shoot each one down you're losing the war even if you're not taking any direct damage from the drones themselves.
I'd rather have time to do something with my life that's longer than just a week at a time. Travelling across the country in a summer is a lot more fun than just across the state every few weeks.

But I've never seen a chicken with a shell.
I believe most cars have these things called batteries. They power the headlights, turn signals, door locks, etc.
With all those hundreds of video cameras tracking your every move at the border, why isn't there some definite evidence showing up here?

After Eve proved that people were willing to play spreadsheets with graphics, it was obvious that the next step was to remove most of the graphics.
And time. Don't forget the time. Without time, magic is impossible.

Or being used to take out all the cellphones in the theater in one shot.
Which scientist first came up with the idea of lighting these things on fire anyway?

More chances to have religious and political flame wars with 13 year olds. What could go wrong?
Unless this is the evidence... Earliest known Easter Eggs?
They won't be interested until you make it a videogame.
Kids of parents who are clueless enough to buy these games for their kids are more likely to be aggressive.

I'm out of points but I'd mod you up.
