I've been editor since 2002 and admin since 2003. My activities at wp dropped off considerably after my son was born, because I just didn't have enough time... (Still had time for/. though.)
I too experienced the souring of the administrators. This is also partially why I now rarely edit or engage in non-reading activities.
Agreed. I started three different trial accounts (one mining, one trade, one combat) and got bored with all three before 14 days. By the way, a fun way to end your game on the last day is to go fly around in 0.0 with a noob ship. (It doesn't take all day either.)
Bad analogy. Sports require physical attributes that are well-known to deteriorate over time. Mental skills, unless degraded by disease or advanced age, do not.
The genius of Woz is that he used pen and paper to create something that had not been created by people who used actual hardware. He understood the fundamentals completely, but let his imagination run wild on a "what if".
How do you know he is still not doing that right now?
Must skill and artistry, in order to be recognized as valuable, serve the corporation?
Must Steve Wozniak, in order to be relevant in your world of Treasure, build another such financial behemoth as Apple?
Surely you must recognize that there are many people around the world who pursue their interests with dedication, skill, and imagination with little care of the financial gains to be derived.
Allow me to speculate. If Steve were independently wealthy, and no longer constrained to generate income to feed and shelter his family, would it not be a better use of his time to use his talents and breadth of experience to help his fellow man? Perhaps it is completely understandable that he should not relish the prospect of working at a soul-crushing cube farm. Perhaps it is acceptable for a man to stop trying to maximize shareholder investment when such a man has already done so amply, and rather dedicate himself to a different purpose.
Perhaps he has indeed changed what he does. But that does not make him less of a man.
I haven't been to an actual movie theater since 2000. Before that, I used to go about once per month. I even got a stack of free passes from a regional manager, but still didn't go (I gave a few away, the rest expired).
That's how you hurt them: don't go to the movie theater at all. If you can't help yourself, you have no self-control, and they will keep taking your money and treating you like a sheep and you will like it.

It's a she. She presented in June 2007 at TED Africa, in Tanzania.
She's also been appointed a Managing Director of the World Bank, starting December 1 2007.
She has an A.B from Harvard and a Ph.D. from MIT.
Dvorak needs to head over to ted.com and learn a thing or two.

Hi Ant!
I don't have one, but I think the XO laptop would do just fine as an e-reader.

How the fuck would we hide?
So, makes no difference.

All that tells me is that even crakers prefer Linux machines for system management...

like the old chinese proverb (which may not be chise, and may not be a proverb, ymmv) says:
If each person sweeps in from of his house, the whole world will be clean.

Go read Founders at Work (link to Amazon, no ref to me) and read the chapter on Apple. He's a f'ing genius.
Exactly.
In the same vein, Apple doesn't make the iPhone. They contract that out to a company in PRC that does it for them.
But what about the midichlorian genome? Is that included by default too?
It's not a malfunction, it's a feature!
To the FCC: you have to be fairly incompetent for Microsoft to point out your mistakes.
ESX is like free software, it's better when it's free.
Bill, is that you?

people who can't express their emotion using language?
Wait, are emoticons language?
So I guess this adds one more possibility to the list of explanations behind the unfathomable black holes on Mars.
But wait, I'm French, so I fart in your general direction. Prruuiitt.
I personally tripped (many years ago) on schedule. (get it? Tripped on schedule.)
Anyway: I was taught: Chedoole, but in youessay, you have to say skeduel. (youessay == USA)
pps: is USA jarjar-talk? I shudder...
