That's the point I was trying to make, that the great-grandparent's "analgoy" of a computer interface to opening a soft drink was wrong, because computers are alot more complex then a soft drink.
Let me know when setting up a stable, usable* Linux box is as easy as pulling the tab off a can of soda, or twisting off the lid, or squeezing the bottle, etc.
Thanks.
* by usable, I mean doing 90% of the things I can do on a Windows box, and as easy as a Windows box.

This argument is dumb. It's not like lab-grown meat will be perfected to everyone's taste overnight, nor is it realistic to expect everyone to turn vegan overnight. As the demand for real meat decreases, farmers would keep less and less cows. There isn't going to be a whole crapload of cows needing to go someplace all of a sudden, it'll be a slow dropoff if anything.
I agree with most of your points, but not about the forest fires. Forest fires occur naturally, have for centuries, will for centuries to come. It's the natural way for a forest to restart sucession. Your comment about forest fires being worse to the environment than all of the SUV's in LA sounds like the FUD to me. As I said, forests have been burning long before man's influence, and the environment seems to have gotten along fine.
The article describes users that TiVo's mistaken for Korean, for gay, even for "a pregnant gay man.
Users. Plural. One mistaken for Korean, one mistaken for gay, and one mistaken for a pregnant gay man. You will find all three discussed in the article as well. Either you're a moron, or a troll. Probably both.
It isn't all that hard to get 100% of the vote when Saddam is the only one on the ballot and yes is the only option, and you are required by law to vote.
...It's already causing a great deal of consternation among cypherpunks and hackers.
Joe Public says, cypherpunks and hackers? That sounds evil, so who cares what they think.

What if I don't like any of my candidates (which is quite often the case)?
