You sound just like a fanatical "let's invade churches and call them stupid" Atheist.
I am an Atheist myself. I think Gods are very improbable, and not needed to explain the universe. Thing is, I find bad enough that religious people try to convert me, so I don't do the same, because I don't want people to hate me.
Also, I don't think that religious people are stupid. Maybe they have a reason to believe in a God. Maybe they are afraid of death. Maybe they never gave it a serious thought. There are a lot of reasons why someone would believe in God, and I refuse to believe stupidity is the only one.
That said, I think I'm answering a troll. Well, whatever. I've already written this anyways,
In the old days lefties wrote with their right hands just fine - they were forced to.
I'm left-handed and I use scissors with my right hand just fine, and the same goes for my computer mouse - I don't want people switching it every single time they want to use my PC. And I never cared about left-handed scissors. The car shifter doesn't really require high dexterity, unless you have a very old car, I guess; I wouldn't know.
If someone is left-handed nowadays, chances are they can use most tools with the right hand, too - and in the past, they were trained to be right-handed. So the difference would be only slightly significant in cooperative activities(maybe a more suave learning curve, but that's it - and that's enough to condemn your future in football, I guess). In a competitive sport, however, being left-handed is a big edge - you trained all your life against right-handed people, but they aren't as prepared for you.
Sports only brings the more dramatic results, I think.
The part I don't get is: where are all those asteroids rich in gold and platinum? They're all reachable or are you guys just over thinking everything again?
I don't really see all those floating treasures in space. At least, where Planetary Resources can reach. the big problem isn't the logistics or safety or anything, but the cost-benefit of this operation.
This might actually help solve the obesity problem. If American's can't afford to eat out because they are spending too much money on tech, maybe they will eat healthier homemade food. One can hope.
Or they will buy money-saver frozen meals. You know, the ones full of salt and trans fat. Then they will get fat AND cancerous.
But they didn't the product would be better, but that would sell better. And the reason here is pretty clear: Microsoft doesn't focus efforts into promoting his products. Android and iOS are far more popular, and the customers asks for them.
The product's quality isn't the point here. How well it sells, however, is.
At the same time, Mr. Gates mega-corporation wage patent wars with everyone. And promotes blatant monopolism (this word does exist? My spell-checker seems to disagree) in its product.
The true problem isn't THE SINNERS. People are not essentially good or bad (even your so blamed psychopaths, for that matter) and are prone to make bad decisions (or even being oblivious to the bad decisions made in her name) from time to time. I don't know if Gates is a nice guy or is just trying to generate some good PR karma, and I won't pass judgment on it. The true problem is the system (damn, I didn't want to use the S-Word) tend do not consider the damage your actions make if they also result in more money, and you can always clean your bad name in the repentant media.
People get a free pass to punch a town full of holes and get away from it with a bad name, which can be erased if you so much as try to help the same town with the money the town made you.
Having an inconsistent story doesn't necessarily imply she's to blame.
This only means she's a bad storyteller.
Please, people, don't use lawyer shenanigans here. If the tale doesn't add up, we should ask her first.

He's stinking rich. Nobody would deny a tourist visa for someone who can spend some hundred thousand dollars on their country in a single trip.
This guy has money enough to be above citizenship issues.
I'm not even sure they are IT guys. They sound like PR or marketing people in a tech area.
but what can I say? I'm not an IT guy. I try not to talk about what I don't know, but hey, not everyone know what they are ignorant about.
So... if a regular "M.D." in a hospital is revealed to not have a Medicine Degree, but a Biology one, it's OK because he has a degree anyways?

It has zero detriment to feelings towards women or sex. Kids have been looking at porn for decades now...
Not decades.
Centuries!
And yeah, I've never seen a single child damaged by seeing porn. But this sounds very, very Puritan, so it must be a cultural notion..
You chose the least sexually satisfied country to make a point about sex VS. reproduction?
Sheesh.
now why do you think intelligence is genetically transmitted? It was never proven.
Oh, cry me a river. People are not getting dumber; you're old now and can't understand youngsters.
Both. They both reproduced, after all.

Samsung may make nice displays but they focus more on a diaspora of handsets rather than making exceptional ones.
I believe you meant "plethora", but I'm not really sure.

What are they going to find on a rock in space that is not already available on THIS rock in space?.
Xenomorphs?
... or you could lend one e-reader to the other two readers. You know, like you do with the newspaper.
He had the insight to offend a hipster on /. based on privacy and lifestyle issue. Touches /. people on all the soft spots. Damn yes, it's insightful.
It's funny how you brag even while (allegedly) it's not your intention to do so.

I believe you're a little confused here. Speed limiters don't reduce hp, you know. .

Well, there's still time for him to patent his computational druidism. I don't think people made computers with cairn stones yet.
You don't really knows how a concession works, right? And why selling off public land is bad, for that matter.

Not every union acts the same way, you know. There are places with better unionist legislation where they work fine.

Oh, God, you did not just use "solution" as a verb, did you? Really?
Yeah, I, too, felt the grim whispers of PR hell from here.
