no, you'll be broke thats what you'll be. there needs to be some kind of meaningful production to come out of the money you invest. not having that is what got america in the mess it's currently in now....
umm that would be me? i have plenty of cash to throw at a hummer if i really wanted to, but i drive a corolla instead.
on a whole i think we are all moving in the right direction, if we could just get rid of the stupid do gooders in government and get people in that look at science and not public opinion, we will be ok.
your right, it's not the company it's the people who make up the company you are loyal to. company's aren't faceless, they are run by people, in some cases really genuine people who care about their employee's.
That's not true. most corporations look after their employee's very well with time in lue and benefits and rewards for going the extra mile.
in my experience, it's the owner operator and small businesses that rip you off the worst because they think every dollar they pay you is a dollar taken from their own pocket, no matter how rich you are making them in the process.
it can be perfectly legal without steam, it's just up to the distributer to be more reasonable with thier t&c's. the question you need to ask yourself, is is piracy more or less of a problem now than before DRM? what's that, it's just as big of a problem??? that's right DRM isn't the solution. kthxbai.
and i can't do that with non drm laiden titles because....? admittedly i used steam years ago, but it was shitty and the concept still doesn't do anything for me.
umm doesn't air have a lower conductivity than copper, hence electricity runs happily along copper at low voltages but needs 1000 volts to jump just 1 cm through the air? TFA is hopeless, it almost sounds like he cut the wires on his iphone, which stopped it transmitting then declared a major break through in battery life.
only the embryos are no more a human than that egg you had for breakfast is a chicken. i'm not saying you are one of them, but it boogles my mind when people try play the ethics card with the end result being people having some incurable genetic illness. whats ethical about allowing someone to die a horrible death from cancer when you could have most likely been prevented?
this is the reason i'm a global warming skeptic and yet i support initatives to clean up industry. i work in process plants so i know exactly what comes out and it's not pretty. carbopn taxes are bullcrap though, they shouldn't focus on carbon, it's the wrong approach.
don't worry they will wait 30 years and recycle the term, just like they did in the 70's (where the idea CO2 could warm the world came from) with global cooling. it was going to incase us in ice you know.
do you think "peer reviewed" means it's safe from politics? what gets me about global warming advocates is they seem completely deaf to any kind of decenting views, even if you put forward a perfectly credible counter point they just try attack you on something else without dealing with the issue you raised. It goes against the spirit of what scienfitic research and review is all about. i think it stems from the whole Al Gore inspired, we have to save the world at all costs from teh evil CO2, mentality.
CO2 is a very minor green house gas. the amount we contribute is less than 2% a year compared to natural sources. solar radiation is where the heat comes from to begin with, so increased solar activity is always going to raise temps. other planets in the solar system are also warming as we are.
there are also other unproven counter points such as extra CO2 leads to an increase in flora that absorbes it (in the same way greenhouse keepers add extra CO2 to get extra growth) and that rising temps will increase cloud cover that will reflect heat.
what you have repeated is like it's come from an al gore promo. vastly over simplified and misleading "facts" that have been repeated over and over without anyone challenging them.
"The total heat loss through the crust of the Earth over an area the size of America is only about equal to our current electriciy use"
that statement is bullshit until proven otherwise. and please stop trying to quote large figures for solar energy, we all know it's mostly a joke (except molten salt plants, but no one seems interested in those)
nah this is pretty normal - it's not so much the keynote but the speculation about his health it's generating. CEO's are important figure heads of a company.
the only revolution apple has ever pulled off is a marketing revolution. the ipod, macbook and iphone do nothing other gadgets haven't before. indeed on many technical levels they are inferior, especially the ipod.
the problem with slippery slope is it's easy to sound right when you just make shit up. that's all slippery slope arguments are, just a made up chain of events without justification or evidence. hence it's got no credibility.
the stats released compare phone sales, not the under lying os. http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=827912. how do they arrive at the conclusion when the "other" category shows 7000k units sold vs the iphones 4750k? what os is the other 7000k phones running do you think?
please stop talking nonsense - where did you get this idea we are over producing? we have been unable to meet demand for years now for most commodities that are used in the production of "things". if we really were over producing we wouldn't have had such massive commodity price rises.
the issue here is purely over speculation and a lack of a reality check in the financial sector. this has resulted in no more capital left for large projects, which has a down stream effect on everything.
as for the USA not being a super power anymore, your on drugs, their military can wipe the floor with anyone. i suspect this talk of over production is a cover for some other ideology you have...

2x part timers is always more expensive, what they pay you isn't the only cost of employing someone you know....

and as for the idea itself, omfg what could go wrong? luckily such crack pot schemes don't get off the ground.

i'd say the failure of open source is that you HAVE to modify it....

if your toaster came with the kind of EULA an iphone comes with, yes.
wtf would i be sour about? i don't own anything made by apple. care to explain exact why i'm so wrong?

oops that'll teach me not to scroll down. 4720k to 4053k. my mistake

This is google paying more to provide a faster service, not paying more to provide the same service. there is a difference.
