People were only "willing" to pay more for ATMs because they didn't have a choice in the matter. You use whatever ATM is available. Also, the fees weren't spurning the installation of new ATMs. They were just replacing free ones.
Anyway, that's the second time now that you've attempted to turn the discussion from one regarding the subject matter to one regarding a party to the discussion. It's terribly rude, and doesn't say particularly flattering things for your ability to either present your point of view or conduct yourself civilly. Suggest you contemplate that for a while; had this been an in-person discussion, you would have just embarrassed yourself terribly. I take this as an admission of defeat. Please pay the cashier and leave. Do not return until you're capable of not turning to personal attacks.
The LHC isn't built or used yet, so it doesn't really qualify. Same with anything else not yet built.
The HGP was a representative of the various genetic biotech that we've developed over the last 50 years or so. I'll admit that picking one specific thing is rather arbitrary.
You're wrong about nuclear power. We've got lots of fuel, in fact almost all the "waste" can be used as fuel in other reactors. We don't use it purely because there's so much available.
You missed the point about cochlear implants, which is surprising given your first sentence. They're amazing because they're *almost* a direct man-machine interface.
If you want to get pedantic, you can only read one or two *words* at a time. For all practical purposes, though, that is not the case. Eye movement takes orders of magnitude less time and attention than screen flipping. It's comparable to the difference between L1 cache and virtual memory.
Taking more than 80 columns is a good indicator that you're either using a poorly thought out coding standard, or writing poorly thought out code.
That you don't see much use for viewing multiple files at once proves you're not doing anything all that complicated. Still a student?
If you can't read multiple panes at once, well... you're in the wrong industry. If you don't see the advantages of doing so, you're definitely in the wrong industry.
A giant dashboard jesus? Here's a more sensible list:
1. The internet 2. The electric grid (this really can be seen from space, the great wall can't, really) 3. Voyager probes 4. Global Positioning System 5. The Human Genome Project 6. Nuclear power 7. Cochlear implants
Here in Canada, the credit unions combine their ATMs, and don't charge each other for their use. Recently, two of the big banks joined this system, but only after the government threatened to ban ATM surcharges outright.
You're free to go off and do your own thing if you don't like the way the rest of us do it. I couldn't care less what you think needs to happen. Either do it yourself, or shut the fuck up about it. I'm not going to do it for you, and I highly doubt anyone else will, either.
I don't want to build a mansion. I like my sandcastle. If you don't, piss off.
I've never said the government should run everything, but they should run some things. You're of the "government should run nothing" cadre of pre-teen libertarians, and I won't stoop to acknowledge you further.
Only the copyright holder has any rights in the matter. They may grant rights to other parties, but only the copyright holder can bring legal action to enforce them. Further, the most they can do is enforce an injunction against further distribution, and perhaps some punitive damages.

At no point did I accuse you of a lack of education.
Why makes you think that gov'ts have succeeded in softening business cycles, rather than creating them with monetary policy? The market is far more able to set interest rates by incorporating all available information, including commodities trading. This is rather historically obvious. I'm not going to summarize 20th century history for you.
An efficient market provides for the societal need in the majority of cases. For the reasons I explained, banking is no different. Banks and credit unions should compete on level ground -- may the best model win.
Very well; let all banks turn over half their seed capital (or the current value plus interest) to a complementary credit union. After a set period of time, we can expose them to a democratic vote on their business practises.
(How do you know my education level? Ad hominem arguments are fallacious.) I don't, which is why I told you to talk to a librarian.
The economic cycle is inevitable, but fiat currency allows governments to soften it. They have to make the same adjustments with a commodity backed currency, but they have fewer tools and are sandbagged by superfluous commodity trading.
Corporate taxes reduce the margins for shareholders, so that increases the price floor for a commercial bank's services. No, it doesn't. Banks certainly *can* operate on a break even basis, just as credit unions do. There is no societal need for banks to have a profit margin.
That's absurd enough when applied to simple copyright infringement, but there's absolutely nothing illegal about after market ink. In fact, these sort of shenanigans should be illegal themselves. Let the printer manufacturers compete fairly.

I made some reasonable conclusions. If you read yourself into them, that's your business.

Should all countries get the same number of slots? Even Luxembourg?
Neat code, by definition, fits within 80 columns.

Besides, that space on the right can be used far more productively displaying multiple 80 column files.

You can buy Vista OEM from any decent shop at about that price. They do have to sell it with hardware, but they'll count a $10 USB drive as that.
The Vista license you get from Dell will only work with that specific Dell model.
Is why no one listens to you, you laughable little man.

You've accused me of an ad hominem, without justification, and turn around to sling your own. So yes, I'll cut this off.
