WTF? Who knew running a cable between telephone poles cost so much.
"Lead authors of the Science paper are Yun Jung Lee and Hyunjung Yi, graduate students in materials science and engineering.

LOL.
Guess where you're going to be buying all your batteries from when you replace oil with electricity.
Everyone has a car... No... TWO cars. Not only cars, but Hummers, because normal cars are just too efficient. Which is going to be "interesting" when people start choosing between NPK and fuel for their SUV.
Um... 1% interest rates... Allan "Bubbles" Greenspan...
Truth is, a totally free market doesn't work,
Unknown. You don't have a free market. You've had the government supporting banks via a central bank and manipulating interest rates for decades if not centuries. Banks are by nature insolvent, they only hold a tiny fraction of the money which they say they hold. Without government and central bank support they would be collapsing regularly at a local level. Instead, they get to grow to massive size and take down the entire country with them. Is it 2 trillion in subsidies so far? After so many zeros one simply loses count.
We just have to make sure that that regulation works for all of us.
What, are you, 10 years old? How exactly are you going to "make sure" when the other guy has tens of billions?
Why do you think the Federal Reserve exists? It's a cartel created by Wall Street to cement their place in the national government and guarantee that profits go to the banks and losses go to the taxpayer. And... Look at what's happening... Profits are going to the banks and the taxpayer is taking on trillions in crap. Regulation working for us all.
Of having discrete components, and of modular operating systems.
Mozilla isn't integrated into the OS, so they can just fix bugs. IE is "integrated into the OS" which means they can't simply fix bugs, they've got to make sure the rest of the big ball of mud OS continues to work as well.
There is simply no case which can be made for capitalism in the USA at all. The simple truth is that America hasn't been a capitalist economy for a long time.

If you are predictable people just walk all over you. See Iraq for an example. If you appear insane they keep away.

Until the virtualization software is made obsolete by the vendor.
Has America invaded any nuclear power?
Ah well, they'll get everything they deserve then.
Don't you have telephone poles in America?

Simple game theory.
"It gives you the feeling that the FBI is acting as a collection agency for AT&T and Verizon."
Wouldn't that be a civil matter rather than criminal? I call unlikely.

You are responsible. Go switch your computer off now!
You're not breaking any laws of thermodynamics.

Or perhaps it's primarily our society which is fucked up. I know, I know just medicate them, it's easier.
And you work on research to find other ways to increase Cortisol production.
Rather than cortisol deficient. Perhaps "normal" levels simply cause particular anxiety.

Why else do you think we're all here?
Oh wait. It was a rhetorical question. Sorry.
XFCE if you just need GTK libraries and a relatively fast and lightweight desktop.
GNUStep if you want to port back and forth between Mac/linux/*bsd.
Frankly, GNUStep would seem like the most sane option for most commercial vendors who want to support both Mac and Linux.
regulation of the free market caused this mess
That's not really true.
Um... 1% interest rates... Allan "Bubbles" Greenspan...

Every time you check it, it'll be open.
That writing to a hard disk is slower than writing to RAM?
Linus seems to understand this much better than the people writing the filesystems, which is quite ironic.
You specifically have to choose writeback mode in the full knowledge that the datablocks will almost certainly be written after the metadata journal.
I think Ted Tso etc are probably perfectly aware of how it works.
Frankly I think Linus is trolling.
