Concentrated power is dangerous, because power corrupts. Libertarians chose to address this issue by preventing the government from yielding too much power. But under capitalism, power might pool together in the hands of corporations, because power may be used to acquire more power. Of course, libertarians argue that the really bad stuff (murder, fraud, assault) would still be prevented by the government, so it would be okay. Furthermore, they argue that power isn't going to collect all that much, because at some point people are going to "go to another store" or something. Socialists, to contrast, aren't so sure.
The problem is that with Walmart it's hard to tell what's a loss leader, and what's something they got to squeeze a few more pennies out of from the distributor. Also, going there increases their market share, if not their immediate profits.
That's not true. Alfonso Cuaron had a fair share of mistakes, (Harry isn't allowed to use magic out of school, although he does in the very first scene, and the students wearing mugglish clothes in school is just wrong.) and Chris Columbus is just a terrible director.
Although his form is completely contradictory to the original vision, it could work. After all, I think Disney has a very intimate understanding of what "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes" would have in mind while designing a robot.
It's not exactly an either-or proposition. In most window-based GUIs, you have the the features listed either in a toolbar or by right clicking. Very often, next to a feature, they will list some sort of keystroke for doing the feature. (Ctrl-V for paste, Ctrl-Z for undo.) This sort of thing could probably be extended to bringing up a pop-up command line. And maybe you could even find documentation for each command by right clicking on the menu.

No, the trick is to write code which human readers interpret in one way and the compiler interprets in a completely different way. Obfusteganography, if you will.
"Hey! Why's that Hello World program running a four function calculator?"
That would be really cool, in a stupid sort of way.
Society is a tangly web of connections. As a result, you benefit from other people being healthy and educated even if you personally don't need the help. Healthy educated people are more likely to do things which improve your life than stupid sick people.
Slashdot has problems. GNAA adds problems. I don't see how GNAA could serve any practical purpose besides allowing people to burn some extra time by posting swastikas and goatses.
Certain phrases lose their attachment to racist expression. For example, it's quite probable that the phrase "what a gyp" was originally a slur against gypsies, but nobody really remembers that.
Of course, "ricer" is not neccesarily in this catagory.

Verbing weirds language.
It's sort of a Futurama reference, among other things, so it's okay.
There has been much rumbling about figuring out how to make a "stable" branch of Wikipedia called "Wikipedia 1.0"
Yes.
Yes, but in those parts of the world the American Vacuum Society's decrees have little importance.
The IE page is designed to be used in a sidebar.
The moderation on this guy amuses the hell out of me. Instead of saying "Why can't you be nice? -1 Troll" you say "Yeah, I know. -1 Redundant."
Well... the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

You simply do not understand the full consequences of the harmonic 4-day time creation.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with that, as does American Heritage Dictionary.

American Heritage disagrees with you on the indigenous theory.
