Here's a rule of thumb from graphic designers: column widths should be 6 words wide, for best readability. This giant single column that I'm writing this sentence with, is just bad design. You don't see newspapers with sentences that run across the page, you shouldn't have to see it on websites as well. It's just difficult to read.
I hated the first movie because it tried to present some sort of metaphysical philosophy to it, which was nothing new compared to Dark City, Bladerunner, Ghost in the Shell, etc.. (in fact, it was originally inspired by Ghost in the shell). Nice special FX, but no new ideas.
When the second and third installments came out, i figured out that it WASN'T meant to be a preachy philosophical rant, and that it was only meant to lightly touch on the various ideas, as if you were going through a Philosophy 101 class, or shopping at a mall of Philosophy. Instead, it used anime inspiration as a vehicle for creating a just plain kick-ass action trilogy - a bit of existential philosophy from Ghost in the Shell, futuristic motorcycle racing like Akira, giant drilling machines attacking underground cities like Neon Genesis, high-flying fighting like Dragonball Z, and so much more.
It wasn't meant to be taken as seriously as all the nerds took it. It was a light-hearted anime series in 3 movies. That is all.
That's why the whole series was so brilliant.
If you wanted a single philosophical narrative, there are plenty of other traditional, non-edgy sci-fi movies for that.
We haven't reached the "enough is enough" point... there is plenty more room for government in everybody's lives.
You are such a libertarian idealist... "If some is good and more is better, why not go all the way and put the government in charge of everything?!" I love it when adults talk this way.. so pure, so simple, so innocent, so entertaining. it's as if you can actually see the brain cells start forming, without going far enough to be able to model the whole economic situation. Not sure why grown adults believe in libertarianism, but apparently some still exist.
The best thing we can do is to feed into that libertarian idealistic hysteria for entertainment value.

All you need to do is raise taxes.
Problem: Solved.
for long distance human travel is if we already had massive space stations at destination orbits.
You would only need to move human transport shuttles between stations, instead of transporting entire launch-shuttle-landing systems.

Video is largely 960 x 540 anyways because of both 4:2:2 downconversion and Bayer pattern sensors.
Intel is competing against ARM manufacturers now.
At this point, AMD doesn't have any manufacturing facilities. They are a design show now.
So vote Republican?
What's the "internet"? i only use facebook and twitter.
Do i have to log into the internet separately?
You seem to be implying that the egyptian protests would have occurred without Facebook or twitter?
No.
No one would have used MySpace or Orkut to organize Egyptian protests.
Both of those sites are completely worthless.
There's a reason people used Facebook and twitter.
If it weren't for them, the events going on in the mid-east right now wouldn't happen.
There, I said it. Agreed?
so shouldn't it be fibre? =^)
All this white-space here ----->
you need to use properly.
Keep the column width small.

HTML5 has multi-column support. use it.
You might as well use Disqus.
Definitely hella good memories..

Calls to have their DSL installed in the middle of a snowy winter?
ASSHOLES CUSTOMERS, that's who. /blame game.
The vast majority of millions of open source projects only have a few eyes one them.
Only projects like Linux kernel, apache, and a few others can claim "many eyes".
For the rest, security through obscurity would have been a better choice.
100+ million users as of today. wow.
And, Flash is standard.

such as "If you start to abuse your monopoly position, new competition will come".
No.
Monopoly positions do not remove themselves through new competition.
They achieved their monopoly position through competition already, so any new competitor will be eliminated as well.
You have a far too simplistic view of economics. Very much a childish idealism, very dreamy, very sweet, very innocent.
I am entertained by it, which is why I am trolling you.
You can go ahead and research if you want.
We need to encourage more government control of the market to enable better products.
Copyrights and patents are great forms of government regulation that encourages innovation.
Without government regulation, society will end up being poorer, like Somalia.
than bad.
That is because it is government that is the source of all innovation.
Without government regulation, society would end up being like Somalia.
The more government control we have, the richer people become through better products in the marketplace.
We need to be encouraging more government regulation, not less.
Government regulations do not have that effect. Not even close. Quite the opposite, really.
Copyrights and patents are fine examples of government regulation that encourages innovation.
Since your statement "the way to eliminate competitors in a free market is to have a better product" is false.
You are under the false impression that the free market results in better products.
