Under capitalism there would be no national power grid or agency. Power would be sold on the open market and if it couldn't be transported reliably, then both buyers and suppliers would lose. We would all have an interest in reliability.
The bureaucrat on the other hand is only interested in making it as expensive and labour-intensive as possible
Obama voted to renew the USA PATRIOT Act while he was still a Senator. It was one of the few things he even took a side on.
All this means is people who voted for Obama were ignorant rubes who couldn't do something as simple as checking a voting record — even one as short as Obama's!
We're slipping, and slipping FAST according to the World Economic Forum.
Two years ago, the United States were still No. 1 in the WEF’s eyes. Then last year, Switzerland took over the top spot. Now both Sweden and Singapore have vaulted ahead. Now we're #4 and we'll be headed further down when it comes time to pay for all this spending
You speak as though the world cannot turn its back on people like you. What exactly are you producing that the world can't do without and thus would put up with your stupid tariffs?
It doesn't have to be where we are today. We seem tied to these languages because of platform support, but APIs are becoming increasingly less tied to a specific language. This is plainly evident with Cocoa, which can be coded in any number of languages using the appropriate bridge.
Concurrency can be added at a lower level as Apple has shown with blocks, after which a higher level Python-esque language could be written to more seamlessly take advantage of it. The problem is making thread-safe APIs, not that we're tied to a specific language (except people who come out of college knowing only Java—those people are hopeless and should become fry cooks).

That's a laugh!
Under Communism there is one system with zero redundancies. That's why our socialist power grid is as fragile as it is: central planning!
Tradeoff?
Care to tell me which tablet is beating this spec?
And Bush was a Democrat in drag.
What Presidents, prey tell, were for preserving and not evicerating the Constitution?
Here's one for you: partisans are rubes in drag

You may as well. Toolkits are the bane of human interface design. Each one behaves differently.

mmmmm, irony?
What is this ethernet you speak of
Only if you buy into Hubble's Law, which various anomalies (most involving quasars) should give one pause.
Maybe your father-in-law is just lonely
Digital software distribution has been around for a while now. Actually, it pre-dates brick and mortar.

Yea, I'm sure Toyota is making THAT car...
If secrets were never revealed, we'd still be in the Vietnam war!
Watch a DVD? You still have some which aren't scratched?
10 years from now the only videos that aren't in my hard drive will be in VHS.
Optical media has always been a joke. I never understood the popularity of the fragile media. I bet my Syquest disks still work.
I removed mine and haven't missed it.
What, exactly, is a DVD drive good for except installing the OS?
Oh wait. It sucks for that, too.
Not that I agree with him, but Murray Rothbard argued for c) indefinite copyright.
Why people modded your ignorant ass up is beyond me.
It's not the HFCS, it's your ass, in that chair, 12 hours a day

The days of the US consumer are almost up.
You speak as though the world cannot turn its back on people like you. What exactly are you producing that the world can't do without and thus would put up with your stupid tariffs?
I was shocked and appalled at how much the Bush administration got away with.
That's because you're a rube.
Both "parties" want the same thing. Obama's policies are the same as Bush, and likewise he's getting "away with" it.
It's only 'broken' if you think you're the one who's supposed to be represented.
Silly citizen, voting is for rubes!

Um, you do know that the phone company knows where you are, and so does the government (without a warrant).
