  1. But, the whole of capitalism be based around coveting thy neighbor's house, wife, slaves, cattle, and possessions.

  2. The OT does forbid rape. But you'd better make a big enough noise if you are a woman in the city. Otherwise it's adultery.

    So let's say it gets hacked. Are we talking minor embarrassment, or serious privacy violations? All big companies patch stuff all the time, after they deploy. Adobe probably has a big list of things that need fixing when they get around to it, which maybe explains why there are constantly updates.

    But with practice, you can do many tasks without conscious focus.

    Define "true multitasking". The brain is not a single core processor. It is always multitasking. Also, I can rub my belly and tap my head simultaneously. While talking. And walking.

    One big difference for me as vegan is that these other meal replacements typically contain milk.

    $60 is quite expensive, but it is still a new product and has yet to be mass produced. It should have the potential for a dramatically cheaper production cost. The price, of course, is determined by the market and not the production cost.

    If you are poor, it is rational to accept money in exchange for baring one's body.

    The problem isn't that children aren't capable of rational thought. It is that there exists a huge difference in power between two parties, and consensual agreements can be unfair or wrong when there exists a power differential. Money is power, and instead of attacking the root of the problem, we as society choose to put various restrictions on what money is allowed to do.

  21. The shareholders probably think the number of stock options should be less. It's irrelevant if the pay is a small percentage of Oracle's worth. The capitalist model is that the pay should be as low as the market will support, not what the company can support.

    Maybe he built the company, but he doesn't own the company. The shareholders do. He is working for THEM.
