As I admitted in another post, I was being overly simplistic. You weren't being 'overly simplistic,' you were being 'utterly wrong, and dangerously misleading.'
This isn't really true; your boss could get your whole team fired through bad politics on his part, and there wouldn't be anything you could do about it.
"We are behind in health care (all First World nations have national health care programs that cover all citizens)"
If it were true that we had second world healthcare, I don't think all those foreigners would come here to see our expensive specialists; we have the best specialists in the world. There isn't just "one" metric to judge healthcare on. (I generally agree that we should have universal coverage, but that has nothing to do with 'first-world' and 'second-world')
So, shouldn't we as a society band together and keep them from exercising these abilities? Clearly the only thing that matters is to build longer bridges, taller buildings, and better spaceships.
You do realize Apple laptops were affected by the whole Sony battery fire thing don't you? I guess it is easy to forget with Steve Jobs' dick in your mouth.
"Despite nineteen years of work, Tolkien still managed to give his two major antagonists virtually the same name." You don't know about the hobbit lineage based naming system? It is similar to one used in Nigeria that Tolkiend studied off and on for 16 years!
You're saying for this bridge we should spend $65,000 per resident? So that they don't have to ride a ferry? How about this idea: don't want to ride a ferry to get to an airport? Don't live in Podunk Alaska.
It's. That. Simple. If it were really worth it to them, they would have built it themselves by now. Obviously it is only worth it to them if it is massively subsidized.
I watched the whole thing; their technology is neat. Keep watching to the end, when they get to the 'sales pitch' to Google, and the Google employee questions.

It is much easier to get hired at a company than to produce open source code that anyone other than you will ever either use or look at.

OMG government, why are you worrying about highways when there are TERRORISTS out there!?!?!?

One hit.
Did Romero actually get permission to do this?
The iphone wouldn't work with a filed fingernail or a guitar pick; it uses a capacitive touch screen.

Sweet; I didn't realize engineers didn't read books, listen to music, or watch movies. Apparently all they do is serve others.

Yes, I really hate being able to replace my (admittedly brown) battery.
The same reason that you don't allow strangers to come into your house and shit on the floor.

Sure, we'll just need $500 million to physically move all the mountains that are in the way.

But the town is tiny and the bridge is 500 million. It would literally be cheaper to *physically move the entire town* to the airport.
Bad news for corn farmers?

GNU indent anyone?
I don't see it happening either; I was just responding to a guy who said it *couldn't* happen.
