This is very true. I know or am acquainted with (FOAF) most of the programmers here, and you're talking about the Yucca mountain project, a few government jobs, some subcontracting, and a handful of brick and mortars. That's it. All the startups (what there was of them) flamed out very rapidly.
It's this kind of astute analysis that's sadly lacking in most IT circles. You have summed up in three sentences what it took Greenspan seven books to say.
Ok, I guess I'm not uber enough, but just what is up with case mods? What's so magic about a computer case that you want to turn it into a circus?
Ohhhh, because you use a computer, you want to decorate it. Come on. I grab my dork everyday, but it doesn't mean I want to turn it into a christmas tree.
You've got to be kidding. People are still interested in new episodes to this old fossil? Would we be even remotely interested in Skeeter Verne's "30,000 Leagues Under the Sea" or Coco Bradbury's "The Saturn Chronicles"?
Lynn said he would recommend adding three new Internet domain names, though he said there were no plans yet on when to create them or what they would be called.
Well, I agree with your point about the idiot mods. However, I disagree that PG has poor grasp of satire, and it may be a little rude, but I can't help but laugh when I see him modded up for being informative. You might think his jokes are disruptive to the discussions, and based on his karma and number of freaks, you may be right, but hey, he makes me laugh. His description of why we see things in 3D (the longer it takes light to reach your eyes, the further away objects appear) is about the funniest pseudo-scientific explanation I've ever read. Guess all I'm really saying is he does a good job, and I hope he keeps it up.
He may be trolling, but he's one of the best I've seen. This man puts more effort into his posts than the vast majority of/. 'ers. This is satire at it's finest. Now you might not care for wit, and you might mod him down, but some of us look forward to his posts. A cursory glance tells me that he has roughly twice the fans you do.
I was excited about this for a second until I actually looked at the list. Can you imagine trying to read Dreiser on your monitor? Or, oh my god, James Joyce?
I know this has little do with the point of the article, but I bet I could buy any of these books for 50 cents or so and save money on aspirin and eyeglasses by not circumventing the US copyrights on these works.

I'm a little surprised that it got any pictures. I hear that the asteroid is very good at hiding.
Those cranky librarians have been shushing people for years. About time someone shushed them back!

I'll put some kind of summary text here once I've had a chance to read it.
WTF? Ok, I'll put some kind of response here after you've posted it.

Gimme a break.

What a wit!
'Course I'm only half right.

There's a lot of technology between here and there
This is like saying that the only impediment to being rich is all the money you don't have yet.
That means the first hacker to run a port scan will make all processes immediately stop and wait for Microsoft to rescue them.
He's going to go to work for ICANNOT
or black holes
Kind of reminds me of teaching a literature professor how to watch TV.

No kidding. People that complain about their computer's noise are the same ones that stand in front of microwave ovens yelling "HURRY!"

You had me scared for a second. I though you said EBOLA virus.
Hacking a blogging site is like littering in a dump.

"The crappy US legislation always seems to find it's way into Canada sooner or later."
It's our way of getting even for taking Michael J. Fox.
"Maybe it's a precedent in Europe, but if you're in America, that's worth about as much as a precedent on Mars.
Europe doesn't have a precedent. It has prime ministers and kings and things.
And I know Mars doesn't have a precedent. Those canals don't mean people live there. duh
Now you can start on ECCp-110
