People deserving of a true peace price (Gandhi for instance) would never had contemplated such a cognitive dissonant option, regardless of consequences.
Gandhi the guy who called Hitler his "friend," because both were anti-England and Germany was going for an Aryan connection?
To be fair, he graduated from Harvard and is the CEO of the largest software corporation in the world, while you are some guy who posts anti-government rants onto technology discussion boards. He is much more qualified to talk about what's acceptable when you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, just as you are much more qualified to discuss being an internet weirdo.
The last commercial airline crash in the US this large was caused by terrorists, so it seems reasonable to at least discuss it. Why be willfully ignorant?
But how can you possibly say it's led other game devs to become risk-adverse and reduce the number of types of games we play in comparison, when Nintendo just releases the same games over and over and over?
No. Not true. That would suggest the Roman Empire shrank until just Liechtenstein was left. But it was a part of the Holy Roman Empire (motto: not Holy, not Roman, not an Empire). It was like one of the many small cities and feudal fiefdoms that turned into Germany and Austria in the 19th century, only it didn't turn into German and Austria.
The guy who went to the moon and didn't find any evidence of water? And now is dedicating himself to disproving the idea of global warming? I'd rather have robots.
Not totally fair to say he couldn't find water, but Opportunity found it, while the geologist couldn't.
Dude is hilarious. "I call them like I see them and always have. That’s my reputation. Ask Steve Ballmer at Microsoft if he likes my work and he may very well say “no.” Ask Larry Ellison. Ask Larry Page. You can’t ask Steve Jobs but you can ask Tim Cook. Do they like my work? No. no, and no. Now ask if they respect my work and every one of those men will probably say “yes.” Because I call them like I see them and always have."
And then in the "About" section: "Most recently, Cringely was the host and writer of the Maryland Public Television documentary “The Tranformation Age: Surviving a Technology Revolution with Robert X. Cringely." He also wrote for Infoworld until 1995, before getting fired.
What is the shocking truth about IBM? They don't release some corporate information that isn't required to be made public (no surprise), they do cost-cutting (maybe for stock buy-backs or something). Wow, that's one hard hitting blog article.
It's cheap nutrition, that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat anything else. Eating nothing but broccoli will kill you eventually, too. The idea is you just make PBR part of a balanced breakfast.
If our spending goals are going to be determined by science fiction movies and the possibility of the earth coming to an end (after a few billion years of chugging along), perhaps we should instead be trying to insert ourselves into alternate dimensions. Like the Mirror-World from Star Trek, where everybody has a goatee.
You could post things like "the only reason not to insert ourselves into alternate realities, is a nihilistic belief that mankind shouldn't outlive our current reality."
How do you get that? The entire body of his post is about unreasonable regulations and the costs involved with satisfying regulation requirements. Regulations that are keeping a Ponzi scheme out of the US marketplace.
Even on Slashdot, Bitcoin is widely considered unstable and generally considered to be a Ponzi scheme. Seems to me that if the banking regulations are keeping that sort of entity out of the market, they're doing exactly what was intended.
I'm in the US and get 55mbps for $30/month. Really if you can get very fast internet for $30/month I just don't see a cause for complaint. And then I get 4G/LTE with my $50/month contract-free phone.

You mean they sell a lot of different things? What point are you making?
Actually, various small Pacific Island Nations are higher, then various Middle Eastern nations, then Mexico. Then US. Nauru and Samoa are 95% obese.
And my microwave has a computer chip in it too. We should ignore form and just count anything with a microprocessor in it as a computer.
All the US has to do is keep all seven billion people in the world happy! I never realized it was so easy!

Innovation?

Just spray them with lysol when they get home.

If the geologist was far better than a robot, how come the geologist didn't learn the most basic geological facts?

Is it? There's an awful lot of talk about xbmc, there's an upcoming netflix app, there's a built in web browser...
It's not so much that it's $99, it's that it's being compared on an equal basis to products that are $200-$500.

Google says 1.6 grams of protein.
Apples have less protein, barely any more vitamins, and will cost more than fifty cents.
It's cheap nutrition, that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat anything else. Eating nothing but broccoli will kill you eventually, too. The idea is you just make PBR part of a balanced breakfast.
PBR is 153 calories, for about fifty cents a can. 300 calories to the dollar is not bad at all.

You seem to believe the banking industry is over-regulated.
