    1. Why have cable tv at all? Netflix.
    2. FIOS is plenty fast. I have 25/25 and am considering 50/50.

    I mean for the user, not for the company. For a big company even removing one line from a config file could take weeks and still be believable as being ASAP.

    How hard is it to patch a browser?
    apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, done. You can cron that shit.

    Even easier than that. Tax all income as income. Does not matter if it is dividends, capital gains, salary, hourly or babysitting money.

  5. Re:It Isn't Just Gaming on Are Games Worth Complaining About? · · Score: 1

    Often the PC games now exclude map generation/conversion software and similar stuff to make modding harder. They want to sell DLC not have user made content.

    The money is pretty low, but the fees oh my god the fees.
    The regulations are the self imposed ones that make the play field not level. Like being able to roll back HFT trades they claim are mistakes.

    Can we also kill anyone who hangs out in the passing lane doing less than the speed limit, or not currently passing?

    Learn about different share classes.

    Your rather flippant reply about dividends is telling. Here is reality, it does not matter because the value of a company no longer has anything to do with the value of what it produces or does.

  9. Re:Yawn on Algorithmic Trading Rapidly Replacing Need For Humans · · Score: 1

    Nope, then they declare the computer made a mistake and they roll back the trades. If they really fuckup they get the government to bail them out with your tax money.

    It is a rigged second market. With fees no other secondary market has, it has regulations that prevents market participants from being on even playing ground and on top of it no one is really interested in non-institutional investors.

    That was the idea once upon a time. These days I disagree.

    Otherwise stock would have voting rights that mattered and pay dividends.

    What is this something productive that the stock market does?
    Other than issuing new stock, when is it productive for the companies invested in?

    Seems not much different than trading cards, now that most companies don't give dividends.

    Yes, but if you want the results of this testing so you know when to replace those tridents you buy into this testing program. Think of it as an extent ended support program.

    Why do you think there would be no radiation or pollution?
    Do you think it is powered by magic? The containment vessel would become radioactive waste.

  15. Re:Should read: on UK Joins Laser Nuclear Fusion Project · · Score: 1

    Maintenance requires testing. You need to know that these bombs will work after all these years in testing. Since you can't set off one to test that you must simulate the conditions as best as can be done.

  16. Re:Should read: on UK Joins Laser Nuclear Fusion Project · · Score: 1

    No one is interested in laser triggered fusion bombs. Studying fusion created by lasers is one way to study fusion that does not violate test ban treaties.

    If you want to call their bluff do it in public and be arrested/fined for it. Otherwise you are not right-minded, merely greedy and cowardly.

  18. Re:Krugman is not an economist. on Krugman On Bitcoin and the Gold Standard · · Score: 2

    I can buy things in USD not in rice, so I disagree. Money can lose or gain value and still be a store of value. Gold is a commodity. It is not money anymore than uranium is money.

    It would be cheap, but if you what you want is a quiet system it would not be effective.

    that's the problem. The entire fiscal policy of USA destroys the value of savings by inflation

    Thats not a bug, its a feature. You don't seem to understand what the purpose of money is. It is not an investment.

    No, we need both. We need people to be able to detect bullshit on their own and we need to have the law deal with the scammers.

    These were probably children that were misled. Everyone was a child at one point, they need guidance not your bullshit. What we should do is toss the assholes that make these scams into the clink for a couple decades.

    No point in blaming them for something someone else failed to teach them.

    I agree with repealing the use tax and/or sales tax as a possible solution to lawlessness. I think your ideas are sound. Not paying the tax is not a solution though.

    Then give in and pay the man. Otherwise stand up and do what is right. Being a common criminal is not the right answer.
