This is a rather low-tech solution, but cover your cables in tape. When my cats figured it would be a good idea to gnaw on the 120VAC power lines running through our (not yet finished) walls, we stuck some tape on them (sticky side out) and it promptly stopped. Double-sided tape would work well for this.
I guess it loses all its fun when your face ends up stuck to what you're chewing on. Though maybe if I just let them bite through the cable would've stopped the chewing as well.;)
This is analogous to crushing the firefighting industry through the introduction of sprinkler systems. Some industries just aren't sustainable, and the antivirus industry is one of them. Is this a big tragedy? Any 'industry' that relies on other people's misfortunes as fuel is going to falter eventually.
What will doctors do once they've cured all the diseases? Maybe they should move to another career. Or maybe they should just repackage the old diseases and market them to bored people looking for adventure!
Because Intel isn't acknowledging AMD's contribution. AMD's current market statistics are not relevant. The market for 64-bit processors is not yet established, and that is the market at issue. AMD beat Intel to the punch and established their standard first, and Intel is too arrogant to admit it. This isn't about incompatibility, it's about (as much as I hate to use this word) 'face.'
Paranoid? That's a beautiful vision. We no longer have to waste time on training or put up with incompetence: everyone will be equally competent, everyone will be able to perform their task perfectly.
Minimum wage? No, you're not thinking this through. This is a true commodification of labour. The entire economy will have to change to accomodate this idea... and it will be fantastic! This is something that Yevgeny Zamyatin would've loved to include in his utopic novel We.
P.S. I'm serious: We is so often misinterpreted as distopic by reactionary luddites, when it really speaks about a fundamental conflict between the deeper needs of humanity and the needs of society. If you haven't read it, check it out and keep that in mind. It's not 1984.
This guy is thinking about more than your "most people"--by which you mean spoiled Americans, no doubt. Most people aren't American, or even living in the first world, and cheap custom glasses would be a wonderful resource for them.

It's called science. I suggest you familiarize yourself with how it works.
But doesn't google (v.) mean to search with Google (n.)? It's a testament to the vast popularity of Google, not the loss of their trademark. There's a difference here: most kleenex you use isn't Kleenex-brand kleenex, but who would say they're going to google with Yahoo?
Yeah... I would've expected him to mention something about inspiring others' interests in space exploration and the future of humanity... not "buy my books."
'Global bankruptcy'? What an absurd idea. You can't just destroy wealth, especially since money is an artificial creation. If the world were bankrupt, humanity would be long dead.

People.. Read the article fully. They track the BEER, not the person.
Tell that to the editor!
All the better for their confidence in their own information.
Ah, and this is what we call the "martyr complex." Fascinating specimen, isn't it?
This is hardly offtopic, moderators.

Why is this even relevant? After all, Einstein was just this guy, you know?

how many people are going to read this headline, roll their eyes, and move on?
I know I did two of the three. I'll let you guess which two.

Yeah, but it's wireless! So it doesn't matter if you lose it.

Dude, I want seven monitors.

And soon, no one will.
I think you're missing the point.

So did anyone actually not read the paragraph titled "But Don't Read This One!"?
:)
I'm proud to say that I skipped it.

Don't you know? Elderly citizens must report to the fuel vats for decommissioning. Their energy must be returned to society.
That's the real reason he moved to Sri Lanka.
I hope it inspires them to go buy my other books.
Hah, that's certainly an interesting thing to say.
