He should just dissemble a little bit and admit that they are probably art, while maintaining that they mostly aren't good art or particularly meaningful art (putting them in good company with much of Modern Art).
Dude, they employ thousands of the smartest CS people in the United States. That might not translate into products you like, but fucking try to acknowledge a little reality through the smell of your own farts.
You are very good at compartmentalizing. Above, you argue that marriage tax breaks benefit children, so we shouldn't touch them. Here, you ignore the fact that the maternity and paternity leave granted in Europe are largely intended to help the children.
I'm not sure I think the European countries get it right, but I'm also pretty sure that "Business, FUCK YEAH!" is not a good core organizing principle for a society.
The problem wasn't the credit default swaps, it was the fact that huge numbers of the mortgages were 'fucking bogus'.
If home buyers had told the truth and the buyers of mortgage backed securities had understood what they were buying (or rather, understood that there were things they should not buy), there could have been 10 quabrillion dollars stacked up on top of them in CDSs with no ill effect. The credit default swaps just showed how stupid a couple of firms were compared to their peers.
Casino Royale was great, and not much less plausible than most of the early stuff.
Really, a money launderer in trouble with his clients is a great deal more plausible than some dude with a kitten taking over a casino (Which wasn't particularly early, but it also wasn't particularly late).
In practice, that means they might get a judge to take your infringing papers and radio away. I doubt a magazine would publish such an article without permission.
Or it just makes good sense to save $0.05 each on hundreds of millions of components at the cost of making some dweeb whine that his 9 year old computer can't easily interface with new stuff.
I was mostly quibbling with your abuse of the word 'financing'.
Mozilla happens to have a business agreement with Google that provides the majority of their income, that is not the same thing as Google 'providing funding' for Mozilla's activities, Google is getting something out of the deal, not doing Mozilla a favor.
Should he be down there trying to clean the gulf with his fucking kidneys? Shutting down other drilling was a pretty big step, and anybody who thinks that there is something more that could be done is ignoring the enormous scope of the problem (there are lots of dumb-shit PR things that could be done, but not much that would really do anything about the oil, the biggest problem is that there were not enough resources to deal with it in place before it happened, not that the response has been tepid relative to the available resources).
Fair enough, but I think it is fairly well understood at this point that there is no last digit (and I realize that there is 'Tell that to Copernicus and Einstein', but no, not really when it comes to decimal pi).
On the other hand, the first 20 digits or so of pi are going to give you more accuracy than any of your various ways of interfacing with the universe can utilize (that statement likely holds true for values quite a lot smaller than 20...).

You should just say "out-of-spec RadioShack batteries".
No need to be coy.
If you have major trouble on XP, you bought a shit computer. That's hardly something you should blame Microsoft for.
If you are looking at the dashboard, you are probably going forward.
I don't understand your connection between maternity leave and latch-key kids.
Also, how does paternity leave factor into that?
Only nominally.

So your theory is that speculators pour money into the futures markets, thus ever driving the price of the goods traded on those markets down?
Sounds stupid.
They would probably sell you one if you wanted to give them $15-$20,000.

But maybe you meant real spies.
Yeah, they can take civil action against you:

What is "leadership or sense of urgency"?

The kids aren't going to pay the bill, they are going to fight over who gets to eat the can.
Google isn't financing Firefox, they are both making money off the deal...

They can't run fast?
Or is it the last department where they don't 'know' yet?
Yeah, right, because the first thing he is worried about is having some basis in reality.

You really think that the 90+ year old tail is going to be more worried about the tattoo than they are the diaper?
Python is actually more dynamic than most Lisp object systems...
Did you use Python 3.0? The IO performance there was a big drop from 2.x and was largely fixed in 3.1.
