Wait, a couple of agencies sponsored and paid for by a government that won't ratify the Kyoto Protocol? Maybe we need some clarification from the other 95% of the world before rushing out to buy ourselves Hummers?
Which of those countries do you live in? None of them? Didn't think so! I certainly know that here in Spain, my employees cost about 180% of their salaries.
They already sacrifice safety... Their policy of not assigning seat numbers and obliging passengers to engage in a gold rush to get seats together is a serious safety problem. Say for instance there is an accident and passengers have to leave the plane as quickly as possible. Now imagine that there are parents and children who didn't get to sit beside each other due to the stampede policy. Do you really think those parents are going to just leave the plane unless they know their kids are safe? No effing way. They'll probably go against the tide to find their kids. Goodbye quick exit.
BASIC is still a great learning platform. As a whippersnapper back in '78 I learned the pain of GOTO and moved to GOSUB. Through my own ineptitude I was jarred into functional/procedural programming. Moving to objects after that was a natural progression. Sink or swim.
What Calinous is saying (pretty obviously) is that individuals can not buy nuclear/hydro power plants, but they can buy solar panels. More so if they're cheaper.

They write software for their hardware. Are you saying that every hardware manufacturer should allow any other to use its software for their own hardware?

The Thirteenth Floor called, they want theirs back first
Cool! Now I can run Flash sites on my iPhone by simply using the JVM. Oh, wait...
Wow, an American meddling in somebody else's country. Who would have thought it was possible?
Why is it so hard to believe that a group being voted in
They weren't voted in!

Isn't that what the last 20 odd years of your life were supposed to teach you?
perhaps threatening Apple with some-sort of discontinuing of it's products on Macs may knock some sense into Apple
You obviously don't run a business

I would chill out about stuff that we are helpless to do anything about (unless you are going to stop using the Internet).
And this is precisely how liberty is lost.
Bugger that! Think of all the abysmal 1980s music you skipped over. A Flock of seagulls, Wham, Adam and The Ants, Human League, Culture Club etc.
And Lady GaGa is an improvement?
Coffee, nostrils, keyboard.

Hell I could get us to Mars, if I had the budget to hire the right people.

People screaming monopoly are morons!
