    sorry but just, no. life expectancy did not drop because we learnt to farm our own food. I'd love to see some proof of that. hunter gathering might sound all romantic, but it's hard and dangerous, and your constantly at risk of starvation.

    on a fundamental level most people are just lazy, and would rather do something other then work. can't say i blame them, i'd rather be drinking a beer on the beach while getting a topless massage from all the victora's secret models, but the real world isn't like that.

    agree 100%. i'm having this exact arguement with my manager right now. i'm writing a justification for new pc's to run various high end applications, he's saying he'll only approve it if I convert the saved hours into dollars. i'm countering with examples of him not being willing to wait for the data or expecting rerun's of the calculations these application perform in unrealistic times frames, which he just ignores and goes right back to asking for dollars. I think my next gambit will be calculating the amount of time he spends waiting for our teams calculations to finish and multiplying it by his rediculously large hourly rate.

    huh? replacing one terminal server is way cheaper then replacing a lot of desktops. you would just buy a new one, put it side by side with the old one and split the users between the 2 of them to balance the load.

    plus there's nothing stopping them buying desktops and having them log into the same domain as the terminal server. your post makes no sense.

    demand for P2P is a huge driver for bringing customers onboard though. since you've been able to pirate music and movies demand for internet services has soared. i'd argue that downloading content is an ISP's best friend.

    people that just do a bit of web surfing and email checking are always the ones on the scabby $24.95/mo plans that hardly make the ISP anything, it's the medium downloaders who get a few gigs off limewire and are on the $79 plan that makes isp's cash - typically the have more quota then they need just incase. these are the demographic that make up most of their customers. sure there's always a small subset that will download 100 gigs a month, but they are in the minority.

    dude, this isn't fixing a leaking tap at the mcdonalds you work at. this is a massive high pressure leak of flamable liquid 5000 feet down on the sea bed floor, miles out in the ocean.

    "A tanker full of cement and rubber could have been there within a few hours" - clearly by your comment I can see you have zero grasp on the logistics of this. where is the tanker going to come from, who's going to make a tanker's worth of cement in a few hours? hows it going to get loaded onto the tanker in a few hours? how do you plan on keeping the concrete from hardening on the way there, because it'll take more then a few hours for the tanker to get to site? whats your plan to get it into the well from the tanker, hitting that 5 foot hole from 5000 feet above on the rolling ocean?

    this is just the issues i can think of, and i'm sure it'd be a LOT harder once it came to doing it.
