Why not pay artists for their work in the way the rest of us get paid? Agree to do a project for a certain price, agreed upon beforehand? Artists that delivered good stuff would be sought after to do more projects for more money. Technology has certainly made this way of doing things easier.
Bits aren't a commodity... and they aren't worth money, sorry. However I fully believe that people's work is worth money.
I think Blizzard knows there are people that share your opinion. And I don't think they care. They know enough people will buy the game for them to remain successful.
I think the working definition of "programming" has changed over time. Or at least, there has been the emergence of a new type of programming... "system programming." There is a lot of lower-level stuff that is now taken for granted.
Maybe in the future things will be built arbitrarily high, so vertical real estate is not at a premium. The only expensive real estate is horizontal footprint. This is kinda like it is now in big cities.
As far as effectively using the space though, I agree, totally ridiculous on the retractable/stowable stuff. Looks cool, though.
I'm very rarely in the position of needing something RIGHT NOW, but when I am, I have a Fry's in Renton.

I hope Best Buy rots in hell.
Wow, Alex Berezow and Hank Campbell. Thanks for revealing the hidden agenda of teachers to get paid more. In an industry so full of pork it is refreshing to see authors willing to stand up to these rich teachers demanding even more money in this tough economy. Thanks for fighting the good fight.
lol.
Considering that the gas portion of my energy bill utterly dwarfs the electricity portion (especially during the winter), I hardly even pay attention to how much electricity I use. For those who have electric heat, I am sorry.
Correlation is not subject to bias. It's just data. Look at the data however you want. No scientific process has been performed at that point to analyze the data and refine hypotheses based on it. So no, it doesn't "gesture furtively." That's your interpretation and bias.
If not, you better take it upon yourself to let pregnant women with heart disease and diabetes know that they are very likely to have a black child!
"Anonymous" is in reference to the Anonymous meme (n), rather than the named person actually being anonymous (adj), which as you pointed out, would be ridiculous.

Online credit card complaint database hacked, detailed consumer information leaked.
Still cheaper than an iPhone
$900 laptop for 3 weeks @ 40 hrs/week is $7.50/hr. Not bad!

Face it wifi is not all over the place and Ethernet is faster, has more security, work better in some places, ect.
I'm gonna go with more reliable.
Here, future reader. Although the link will probably be broken 10 minutes after this post.
Screw the self-making bed, where's my AutoWash (tm) ?

This, just... wow. I didn't think it was possible to be more self-deprecating, but I think I managed to.
And you don't dig yourself out of a hole, asshat.

If they were using Free Trade Watts, it wouldn't be an issue.
But if we do that, we can't continue to feel like we aren't replaceable cogs in the machine!
Only if it's delayed until July 2013.

He must've really liked that $2 worth of swag he got for free.
Just because you pasted the Wikipedia info after your rant doesn't mean that it actually happened in that order.
I'm a neurosurgeon.
Really? It says you are an AC.

This was exactly my reaction. Talk about unnecessary exposure.
