You have no evidence for this.
But, I would agree if the realization came soon –but the realization only comes decades later. That is too long and too tragic.
Now what do you do with the poor students?
Remember that the future of a nation is built upon the education that everyone is able to receive — not simply the privileged.
That is about as bad as saying "its only semantics". It is *always* about the meanings of the words. If you want to call it something, call it "returning to the previous status quo".
While they provided the game for free, it did take some manpower to make. So buying addons is rewarding a company for making a game you enjoy and provides some value-added enjoyment.
But the caveat is that while the buyer might believe they are 'paying into it' in order to get a benefit, there is no such obligation on the part of the company expressed by this purchase.
So there is a value, but not a lasting value.
Do you really want to be able to have a calculator around? When I need to consider units, it is absurdly easy to convert them. Do you realize that the United States does not use the English system? It uses the United States customary units (variations exist between it and the English system). 'Imperial' in fact has no many variations around the world. I think the best reason to change it, is because it is one of only three countries in the world that doesn't use the SI system. For the world to interact with the United States it would be much easier if everyone used SI.
I notice the language they use, such as calling the thing they are against 'Restricted Boot', and calling it 'jailed systems'.
All quite expected, but I find it patronizing for them to have to call it by weaselly words.
I currently use FreeBSD on a student run server, but will be switching back to Linux because a lot of the ports are getting a little long in the tooth.
I have otherwise enjoyed the stability of the system, but for our needs having an up to date php and apache are very useful things.
I believe this is this is the running out of the vehicle by which the economy flows. This has happened in other places in the past with disastrous effects.
The Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem states that "If a function x(t) contains no frequencies higher than B hertz, it is completely determined by giving its ordinates at a series of points spaced 1/(2B) seconds apart." Which means that if a sample has no useful frequencies above 20kHz (useful meaning we can't hear them), then we can perfectly record it at twice the rate, or 40kHz. What fallacy are you referring to? I admit to not knowing the finer points of Red Book, but the Nyquist-Shannon is fundamental to this field.
I believe that is wrong. I will cite [1] http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4303 and [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_record#Vinyl_quality as sources.
1. "It's a hard science fact that digital is capable of reproducing higher frequencies than vinyl, above the range of what most people can hear. " [1]
2. "CD-4 LPs contain two sub-carriers, one in the left groove wall and one in the right groove wall. These sub-carriers use special FM-PM-SSBFM (Frequency Modulation-Phase Modulation-Single Sideband Frequency Modulation) and have signal frequencies that extend to 45 kHz. "
According to the information I have, it captures no more sound than the studio recording. The masters used for CD and Vinyl are different (thus you cannot compare directly). There is no point in capturing what we cannot hear.
The "medicare part d" according to Wikipedia cost just under $50 billion in 2008. The cost of "homeland security" from 2001 to 2011 was $649 billion according to: http://costsofwar.org/article/homeland-security-budget . Even on a ten year basis these things are hardly "trillion dollar" anything.
Your primary discussion is on the debt, which I generally agree that a debt is bad to at least carry —no doubt with one as large as the United States has. Debt itself is not bad, because governments can use it to soften downturns, but must be good enough to repay on the upturns.
If you want a good economic recovery, the last thing you want to do is "cut welfare checks". If you want to get money into the economy, give it to the people who will spend it. Those are the people who are down on their luck, or otherwise don't have savings. Those people are the exact people you want to cut welfare from.
In Ontario, Canada there was once a man named Mike Harris. He believed in the very same things: cut welfare, give money back to the rich and they will spend it. It doesn't work, because they don't spend it - they save it. Savings takes money out of the economy, because the economy is the continuous flow of money.
You are under the mistaken impression that one must have to replace the other. This is not the case.
There was an era where writing instruments developed over centuries or longer. The art of making the quill probably didn't take too long for somebody to figure out ideal ways of doing it. But the mass produced paper to write on was likely very disruptive because it coincided with the printing press. All of these things had their rise, and commoditization, and even falls. To get a quill you have to buy it online, or as I did go down to a water front area pick up many feathers and even reinvent how to do it.
Printing presses are still around, but I see more print shops using laser printers these days. PCs will be around until something comes along to really replace its functions. If I were to speculate in the realm of science fiction: what if your phone had the ability to project a keyboard and a display from it, and had the power to run the applications of the desktop. This might qualify for both PCs and 'mobile computing', but who knows.
With regards to the cloud, it is just a new term for an old thing. IBM was doing this thirty years ago and better in mainframes. If latency is low enough, availability can cover it. Customization is available to many. You have never been able to customize every thing on any product, unless you want to speak about Linux and then get back to me when you have finished programming your customization.
Virtualization is not a "stupid fucking idea", it has been used on mainframes since the 80s if not before. There are places where it is fabulous and the right solution.
Now that is an appeal to antiquity. The age is no indication of its correctness.
Money is a measurement, not a store of value. It is like saying that a joule stores energy — it doesn't, it is the measurement of energy.
Why not back it with steel? If you are arguing for intrinsic value, and defining it by what we can do with it, it is certainly FAR more valuable than gold.
There is no such thing as intrinsic value. Gold and silver only have value because we give it that. The same thing with a fiat currency, both are based on a faith in its value.

So the more we rely on cloud services, the less we need full time people to maintain them? BWHAHAHAHAHA!

In days gone by a 'boot sector virus' was a real danger. This would seemingly prevent that.

Quite right, I forgot about fractional banking.

What about using some level of 3G wireless access that can be low bandwidth attached to other hardware?

Thorium can be used to produce U-233 which can be used to produce a simple bomb.

I don't normally bribe officials, but when I do, I keep my press card on me.
I believe this is a case proctocephalogy.
