Yeah, you're right. Metrics of 10 are much simpler than orders of 16, 32, 34 or any other random selection. You really have to think about how many inches are in a yard, but it's not hard to know that it's 1000 mm in a meter. The trend continues with 1000m making a kilometer, rather than yards to furlongs.
I bought Sins of a Solar Empire purely because it didn't have any DRM. It was cheap, and turned out to be one of the more innovative games I had ever played. Well said, and good advice from the Parent Poster.
There is an elegant way to solve the problem of the concentration of wealth issue to the exclusion of general society.
Tax the robots at 70%
Then take that money, and funnel it into education, the arts, and a basic living wage to the masses.
Problems with people becoming breeding factories? Reduce the basic wage payments given for each child born over +2 by 50% then 75%, then nothing over 4.
With a higher level of education, our scientific advancement will increase, further increasing our wealth in general. Since the tax on robots leaves a 30% profit for the rich, they are rewarded for keeping the machines going. and paying for the administration of the machines to those who still earn a wage.
The formulas can be tweaked, should there be a new frontier opened up such as space, and money may in fact become only representations of pure resources and energy if technology such as a nano lathe becomes reality. (Being able to assemble anything from the atom up)
I personally find studies out of Amsterdam to be the most unbiased in the world. Remember that it's tolerated there, not promoted, like cigarettes in America, for instance, by the tobacco lobby.
If the drug does cause psychosis, then society as a whole can react to it accordingly. Conversely, if people with psychosis are attracted to the drug, then there must be an underlying reason for that.
Use a business machine and only log in there.
It's all about managing your public image after that. Only posting photographs that you wish to leverage to promote yourself as opposed to having one promoted with your underwear on your head is the general idea.

You know, if Australia backburned a bit more often, bushfires would rage far less viciously across the landscape.
Yeah, bunch of HIPAA-crits
Ummmm, at least Christians would say you're idolizing the wrong J.C.

Maybe it's not so obvious in the south.

Not to mention how many inches are in a meter.
But travelling halfway around the world to see someone from Jersey Shore launch a pair of headphones, just doesn't seem to be cut it anymore.
Yeah, that's reason enough for me to run for the hills.
How many javascript developers does it take to change a lightbulb?
10,000. 1 to hold the bulb, and 9,999 to turn the house around.
Replace Javascript with Perl as the situation commands.
Exactly. He was just another stupid facepalmer and got exactly what he deserved.

So the competition will be less tempted to steal their IP, and I as well as surely many others can take their business to them!
Officially, screw you Sony. I will never, ever, over my dead body buy another product from you, or an affiliated company.
And to their patent lawyers, please, I beg you - Make the patent watertight.
After his comment, the sales of regurgitating robots exponentially increased.
Zowee. Someone forgot to take their repressitoll this morning.
Can't fly like an eagle if you're hanging round in Turkey. (ducks)

I look forward to seeing what else comes of this.
So buy up big on Beetox (tm) futures now, and reap the rewards.

Remember, only 4 shopping days until the apocalypse.
So crazy. This whole Mayan doomsday prophecy stuff all amounts to nothing more than an ancient form of the y2k bug.
