Sorry. You're not making any sense.
I bought a 3500$ tv which only had 1 year warranty on it. It stops working 366 days after buying it and costs 2000$ to repair or worst case, I have to replace it, that 300$ 4 year extended warranty is going to seem pretty cheap. The interest on that 300$ would have to be abnormally high to pay back the repairs. You're right, it's insurance, but I'll go with that insurance over 300$ + 30$ per year insurance that will basically cover only the time if something happens.
That's dumb of you. Not everyone measures things in terms of economics or job performance. Making sure I raise my family properly is priority number 1 for me. If that means that I have to forgo job ambition to attain that goal, then so be it.
"Yes, but how do you raise a family properly without money", the jackass says. Once again, money doesn't solve everything. Sometimes tender loving care and attention will do miracles.
As if having ambition in your job is a virtue. How about having ambition in being a better human being. How about having ambition to do the right thing. Are people in Greenpeace ambition free... I think not. I think they are a lot more ambitious than most of us here...
It's pretty simple actually. Judging from the narow mindedness (sorry for the spelling, English isn`t my main language) of your post, I'll assume you're from the US.
See, it's not all about money. People in other parts of the world (yes, there are people outside the us) don't judge everything with economics. Here in Quebec, we actually have a culture to preserve. Part of that culture (actually a big part) is us speaking french.
If nothing is done to protect that language, then we just become overweight americans, and the next thing we know, we'll start shooting guns at people who touch our lawn, become bigots, not care about world polution, think that everyone really should be American as it's then only culture/system that works or start ignoring the proper education of our kids because we need to work more to buy more "stuff" and big poluting cars.
Exactly. I'm using Mozilla 1.4 right now and that new "type as you browse" (or something like that) is amazing. No inovation? I think not. Like you said, tabbed browsing which Multizilla brought to a new level.
Sounds like he's bitter to me.
It is not the principle upon which the United States or any other modern democracy was founded
Maybe not what it was founded on, but it sure as hell rules everything done in the US now. Read "No Logo". It will give you a clue. The phrase Kill or be killed will never sound so true. You really do kill people/children everyday so that you can wear your 100$ Nike and 100$ Tommy shirt.
You're right though, it does lead to a lot of economic uncertainty.
Not that I disagree with you, but that's a load of shit. Americans don't do ANYTHING for free. If it looks like it's going to be free, it's a trick. It's always about advancing there own agenda. Not about being nice.
Not that I beleive in the Nostradamus bullshit, but it's to make a point. These guys (Gates and company) always try to see in the future as if they had some sort of crystal ball. Turns out, they can't see in the future just cause they got money. Most of these statements are done to advance an idea or concept that they are trying to get a across:
- 64k is all we'll ever need - The network computer is the future - That stupid book bill gates wrote about the future
That's not the point. You're probably right in saying that they left it there on purpose to test things. But by leaving it there, then it becomes a security risk therefore making it available for malicious use, just like you've suggested. That's what's wrong with it.
