why don't we see more integrating of commercials into the regular programming?

I realize there are some logistical issues to work, but it will make skipping the commercial impossible.

Communism only works on a tribe or clan scale or smaller. Any larger and it doesn't work. Why? Because people don't give a damn about people they don't know, and people have a hard time knowing more than a few hundred people.
They aren't saying that God is not powerful enough to create a universe with evolution. They are saying God didn't create a universe with evolution. Significant difference there
Languages like c are inherently serial. All statements must be placed in sequential order even when there are no serial dependencies between the two. E.g.
x = zeta(y)
w = gamma(z)
print(x+w)
The code explicitly states that x should be calculated before w although they could certainly be calculated concurrently. Of course a smart compiler could figure out the dependencies, but the programming language shouldn't force the programmer to specify an order when none exist.
I predict that non-procedural languages will dominate the future of programming. Some currently used languages seem already well-suited for taking advantage of multiple cores, like HDL languages, functional languages, Labview-style languages.
Meat has far more energy, weight for weight, than fruit and vegetables. Depending on how you farm the animals, you can provide more energy per hectare off animals than off most crops.
I'm surprised that someone can be so wrong. Meat takes very roughly ten times the energy to produce than vegetables. Livestock have to eat plants to survive. Mostly, they are fed low-cost-high-yield plants like maize, soy, and castor bean, and various animal wastes, but livestock still require a great deal of land. You think livestock feed on air or something?
By going to a fully vegetarian society, though there would still be an environmental impact, the impact would certainly be much less.
Who's more likely to go on a killing rampage with a gun? The bully, or the bullied?
It's certainly true that you run the risk of getting killed by a gun if you fight back against a bully. But you have to weigh this against the risk that if you don't fight back, your pain and anger may build up inside you until you take the gun yourself and go on an insane killing rampage.
Until we have some kind of exotic radiation shields, you can forget about travelling at high speeds. I don't think accelerated aging is an appropriate description of burning to a crisp.
Part of the problem is that the patent office is giving patents to ideas that are just too abstract. The abstract language used in patents can be far too morphable and encompassing than should be allowable. Patents should be granted for real concrete things, like widgets or drugs. Patents should be granted for creations, not discoveries.
Just because it can't be expected to last, doesn't mean it's flawed. Businesses need to adapt, and if a market for fixing broken products opens, it's sensible to meet that market before it goes away (so long as they don't spend too much in NRE).

Let the ideological folk run their nv drivers, and let those who could care less run their nVidia drivers.
Is this supposed to be modern art? It just looks like naked chicks to me.
What does this have to do with rights? This isn't the government censoring anyone. This is just a business move, and a rather poor one.
1. If the blogger signed a NDA, Apple has every right to sue his ass off.
2. If the blogger didn't sign an NDA, how can he be any way responsible for any damage?
If somebody else signed an NDA and passed the information to a media outlet, the signer did the infringement, not the media.

No, me giving you a bottle of beer is not the same as you stealing a bottle of beer from me.

Fighting back gives an outlet to the anger.
