    You've got it a bit backwards there sir. The repoblicans want to revoke the first amendment for anyone who isn't christian while advocating a 10 year olds right to own 19 guns.

    Just make sure that your "business" is profitable so it doesn't become a hobby (thus business expenses can't be counted).

    A business does not have to be profitable to be considered a business rather than a hobby.

    Though I do not entirely disagree, one also has to consider what happens when he is faced with making a choice, does he side with his personal beliefs or.....

  8. Re:Rent-seeking? on Apple Reportedly In Talks With Comcast For Separate Apple Streaming Path · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Microsoft's leveraging contracts and monopoly power to kill other businesses is evil (even if they missed the phone/tablet revolution, it isn't for lack of trying)

    Though I do not necessarily disagree, I must point out that:

    • A) MS did not miss the tablet revolution, they predated the tablet revolution and inspired SJ to create the iPad
    • B) Apple uses the business model of litigate into bankruptcy or purchase against their competitors. At least MS had the decency to buy up the companies that were actually making decent hardware/softwares (but not all, I know)

  11. Re:Spectrum is what we will need for 5G on UK and Germany To Collaborate On 5G · · Score: 1

    but again, we aren't looking at individual devices needing that much bandwidth, we're looking at a tower piping out the bandwidth to be shared by 100s if not 1000s of users. But then, we can also look at the business application here where instead of running lines into a business, you can get 5g physical receivers.

  12. Re:Spectrum is what we will need for 5G on UK and Germany To Collaborate On 5G · · Score: 1

    Because, you know, we never ever actually create new things that are larger and need more bandwidth to transfer. re: standard definition vs high definition. If the market creates a capability, there will be someone or something that will seek to fill that capability.

  13. hrm on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    My coffee maker (12 cups) cost me $40. A large bag of ground coffee (dunkin donuts brand) costs me $14 (160 cups). 100 count of filters is about $2.00. So, .02(filter) + .08(coffee) = $.10 per cup of coffee. The filters are biodegradable as are the grounds as is the remaining undrunk coffee (rare). The keurig route would cost me far far far far more since it's about $7.99 for a 12 count of pods...... yeah losing money.

  14. Re:Please Stop. on Does Relying On an IDE Make You a Bad Programmer? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And there is also something to be said about an editor that helps you identify an issue, even when in another file so that you don't have to try to decipher a cryptic log message due to a variable not being instantiated correctly in a different file. Sure, I can use NotePad++, and I do quite often for really simple scripts/reading files, but when I really want to sit down and knock out something that's more complex than "Hello World!", I'll fire up netbeans and have at it. It's also helped me learn quite a few languages due to showing me where I made my mistakes (like grading a paper in school) and helping me to debug.

    Highly doubtful. Even Suckerburg isn't stupid enough to spend that kind of money on users he already has. TFA even states that it is an attempt to recoup the users FB has been losing in certain countries where WhatsApp is dominating.

    It's about mining data from 450 million users. No one cares that it's nothing new. The customers are what Facebook is buying.

    UPS is one of the worst ways to have a package delivered. Every order(19) I have had shipped to me in the last 2 years, I have had to go pick up at a distribution hub.

    You're also missing out on the fact that the lower levels of the education system aren't just there to impart data on you. They are also there to broaden your horizons and provide to you a sampling of knowledge from many different fields so as to give you a better idea of what you MIGHT like to do in the future. So you take away evolution from an entire state of kids and now you are no long producing scientists with base knowledge or desire to go into to the fields of evolution. Also, can you please show me a curriculum that can effectively teach genetics and biology without including at the very least some theory of "evolving" species?
