I think it's a pride thing. They don't want to think that they're a one trick pony who had an OK product and just happened to be in the right place when Altavista fumbled the ball.
There are so many jobs available that unemployment stands almost at 0%
I don't know where these figures come from, but how do the stats count someone on a zero-hours contract? Employed? Half employed? Depends if they get called in that week?
Problem with that idea is that it presumes there is a finite amount of economically useful work
It's not to do with the amount of economically useful work. It's the amount of economically useful work that can't be done cheaper, better, faster, at a lower cost, or cheaper by robots.[1]
It also presumes that we have no control over automation politically, economically, or physically which also isn't true.
If you belong to the same "we" that I do - the 99% - then I won't say we have no control. Just very very little.

I suspect a merger with Google is afoot.
Give it a miss on the third too. There'll likely be several dupes.
That horse left the barn with Windows 8.
Evidence suggests it's more likely to tunnel underneath.
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?

I'll give you that. [pulls lapels & slaps face]
You're saying he won due to the general craptitude of the Dems and their campaign. Those are factors not under his control and events he didn't cause.
How is that *not* luck?

It pinches right here, and can you take it in a bit there?
"Urgency must be our watch word."
Why? Is it going somewhere?
Equal and opposite idiots get mod points.
What are the odds of that?
Has Slashdot ever managed to do only one post about a subject?
Am I allowed to choose which one I self-indentify as?
I don't know where these figures come from, but how do the stats count someone on a zero-hours contract? Employed? Half employed? Depends if they get called in that week?
And guess what - they already automated writing it!
Is there, do you think, a Genetic component.,. that causes one, to write like, A Fucking retard?
The question is, do they taste the same?

[1] Apologies. I may have missed out "cheaper".
Assuming they're made to the same design & spec, with the same materials, using the same machines and in the same locations.
