Yes, developing their launch abilities is a great technical achievement and source of national pride. But does anyone seriously believe it's cheaper for India to develop this than to pay to launch a few communications satellites. Someone will no doubt say that "in the long run" it's cheaper, but I'd like to see numbers, because at this point, with the number of competitors, I don't believe it.
Explain the fact that these allegedly intelligent gun owners, even owner who have used guns for years, do stupid things like mixing firearms with alcohol, firing guns in populated areas, accidentally kill their friends, etc. What people don't get is that firearms are designed to KILL. They are not toys, and they shouldn't be treated as such.
The average person with a gun knows how to use it.
No, they don't, at least not in the USA. Guns are easy to get, no training required. Fairly often there are articles in the newspaper about people getting accidentally shot, and it's obvious that if they had a clue about how to use a gun, these accidents wouldn't happen. The last thing I want when a gunfight erupts is a bunch of untrained people trying to pull out their guns and firing.
Wasn't the Mac limited to 128Kb because that was all anyone would ever need? For that matter, most people were running DOS on PCs and that had the 640kb limit.
There are nicer people out there. You don't have to play with jerks. When I played (I've been out for 2 years) we watched recount, but it was more of a "whoa, look what I did" sort of thing.
I've occasionally thought about Prime but I just don't get that much stuff from Amazon. Curious as to what you are buying that you get an order basically every other day?
The common audience for these games wouldn't appreciate such nuance/sophistication. EVE is very much a "geek's" game. EVE's complex economics and politics tends to drive away the casual/braindead players.
What you meant to say was "drives away the people with actual lives"
It's so weird... I go to the bank, I get cash, I buy stuff. I use my credit card, I buy stuff. I send checks to pay bills. All with this worthless fiat currency that you rant about. Remind me, what's wrong here? The fact that what it can buy tomorrow may be different from what it can buy today? If you can point me to ANYTHING whose worth hasn't changed over time, I'd love to see it.
This idea sounds great... do the right thing, convince management of your brilliance. Except, with the "agile process", particularly with scrum, you are managed almost minute by minute... certainly hour by hour. The only way you are going to have time to do any cleanup work, prototyping, etc is if you starting padding your estimates. If your manager is remotely good, he's going to smell a rat.
In general I like the concepts of agile... do things incrementally, rethink priorities, get early feedback. But it does tend towards micro-manangement and that can kill any chance you have to improve code.
Yep, exactly. You get divorced, and if you are a professional, you are the one who can make money, so you get to give up your current assets and start all over again. Right at the point where companies decide that they'd rather get someone in their 20s that they can mold rather than someone in their 50s.
And the original point stands... have you audited the source code? Have you compiled / built the product from the source code? If not, then have the alleged source code isn't any better than trusting the Windows source code.

hell, if you are going to make up a number, lets say most people commit billions and billions of felonies a day.
Isn't 15 underage? Why isn't it just plain statutory rape?

Sort of like the rest of us.
*In theory* Crypto-currencies tend to be deflationary. That is terrible for the overall economy, but it makes them a good store of value.
Fixed that for you.

You mean sort of like how some races might not fit in? Like if the boss isn't comfortable around black or hispanic people, that's cool, right?

Well, someone is missing the point, that's for sure.
You're meeting the wrong women. Try being more selective.
One word: water.
Well, because flying into space on the rocket built by the lowest cost bidder suddenly doesn't seem like a great idea.
I'm confused... who held a gun to Greece's head and forced it to accept this plan to "screw" them?
So you are saying Greece lied, therefore the fault isn't with Greece, it's with the other EU countries? You're making my head hurt.
In other words, banks are (gasp) loaning out money. Would you feel better if banks were running computers and generating bitcoin?
