Maybe the polarized audience should be required to explain how a medicine works before they are allowed to use it. Problem solved, give or take a few generations:)
I disagree. Industrial design is a big part of it, and not so much technology as engineering. People don't go for OSX because it's BSD, they go for it because it's pretty, and because shit just works. The latter sounds simple, but is extremely hard to pull off-- it requires total vertical control, and the willingness in upper management to enforce a high standard. BSD was just one of the possible ways to meet this high standard, that Apple felt was best.
Maybe that's how this happened. Some clueless board member demands something to be done, slamming his first on the table. The task gets assigned to the CEO, who assigns it to the lawyers, who do "something" that will appease the chain of command all the while knowing how useless it is.
Dude what are you talking about. I just let arthritis freeze my pinky permanently pressing down the Control key (mapped to Caps Lock, of course), making Emacs use a breeze. It's the opposite of damage!
Split the CO2 into elemental carbon and oxygen-- then we can safely bury the carbon since it's solid, and release the harmless oxygen into the atmosphere or use it for industrial purposes or whatnot.
It strikes me that the mobile networking situation in the US right now is what our wired Internet would be in had the greedy money-grubbing carriers been in charge of designing it. Your email would reside in central offices, and you would pay $1 to send or receive one (plus $1 per megabyte of attachments). The Web would be a set of AOL-like walled gardens with mutually incompatible content formats. Yay for VCASTrated YouTube! The scary part is that there were projects at former Bell Labs developing systems along that line under the PCS label. *shudder*
I know someone with FiOS, and the equipment they installed in his basement is impressive, as in, looks so expensive I'm impressed they don't charge for it. They installed a huge switchboard cabinet, with a backup battery and some sort of conversion electronics to feed into standard coax TV cables and Ethernet.

A lot machine is nothing more than a random number generator matched up against a win table.
And you know this... how exactly?
Maybe troopers will start to hide around halfway between towers now ;)
- *flashing lights*
- Guy gets pulled over
- "license and registration please"
- cell phone beeps "speed trap ahead"
- "Oh what have we got here?"
Now that would be an interesting pair of authors ;)
Thank you, someone mod this up.
Ethanol? Polar? Tell us another one!

innovation = first time to do something from your point of view
invention = first time to do something ever
Note how MS is always careful to point out they innovate.

If you inject this vaccine into a siamese multiplet, you must purchase one license per individual.
About the third disincentive you listed, dude, you just got every typical Slashdot nerd thinking about moving to Portland ;)
I disagree, I think he was an awesome guy who did a lot of good things for the people around him!

They should look no further than my Dremel tool for inspiration. That thing can roll at more than 100k degrees per second-- sustained!
The game has gone gold, but they are still waiting for their Moller to fly the master over to the factory.
Cut cable #6 then!
Instead their people have no choice but watch this. (Not safe for work in red states).
Dude, the Patriots lost! How's that for a hitch?

Meh, let them merge. It's like two little piles of crap joining together into one large pile of crap.

It doesn't work that way, it's more like a game of chicken-- one guy gets a router first, and then everyone else hops on. First hand experience here :)
I don't know, the D block has awfully little bandwidth.
Check this figure, and compare it with the GSM spectrum for some perspective.
I wish they didn't set a reserve. How much money will they now waster in fees! That's government for ya.
