    I would reword your last item and put it at the top.

    Pah! The workers can do that during their notice period.

    Ever seen what wild bananas or heirloom apples look like? We cross-bred until we got the desired traits aka genetics we wanted from them.

    Which of course is completely the same thing as putting genes from a glow-worm into a cat.

    white was the color the astronauts wore on the lunar surface, which had if I recall correctly from those photos some other color but definitely was not white at all.

    That's because they forgot to correct for Rayleigh scattering.

    if Apple or Google built a universal OS for desktop, server, mobile and stand alone devices, it would be hailed as innovative and visionary...

    If Apple did that it might actually work.

    (Google might be able to make it work, but nobody would be able to fight through the UI to find out).

    I've bought 4 for my employees in the last year. They're gently used (scratches on bottom for instance) but who cares?

  15. dimothy continues to fail on NY Bill Would Provide Tax Credit For Open Source Contributors · · Score: 1

    I'd rather they require that any software developed at taxpayer expense be released as open source.

    Great idea, having the Chinese and Russians poring over the F-35's avionics.

    If that's not giving you nightmares, imagine them getting their filthy commie hands on something that actually works.

    There are loads of empty high-end properties in London owned by all manner of shady plutocrats.

    It's a potentially lucrative consultancy opportunity for you, since they clearly don't know as much about what they're doing as you do.

    An individual driver doesn't cause congestion for himself, he causes it for everybody else. And as I already pointed out, people on trains aren't causing it at all.

    Plus congestion and the lost time it causes.

    In that respect, public transport has a positive externality due to the fact that most people riding the subway aren't simultaneously driving a car.

    They want to create the illusion of a shortage so that they can import enough needful-doers to create a surplus.

  24. You can be sure that if the place I live in turns into a bucket of flaming shit, the one thing I *wouldn't* hold on to when moving somewhere else would be the very attitudes that made it so in the first place.
