> The US can't even attack North Korea, which would be WW3-lite. Loss of life wouldn't be the problem
Just an aside, the NorKs have enough artillery hidden in the mountains to burn Seoul to the ground, and we have very little in the way to stop it short of pre-emptively nuking them.
You know, I can't really get myself worked up over this whole "Russia bought Trump" nonsense. Especially when the Establishment has given us nothing but Bushes and Clintons for 20 years.
Obama was an out-of the-blue manchurian candidate I don't think anyone expected.
It takes about three years to build a supply chain for some of this stuff. Short of a shooting war, this "dominance" is reversible. Someday price parity will be reached, and it will make sense to make shit here again.
Blackberry didn't. Which is what makes it a better Android than Android.
An app can ask for the permissions, but you can deny them from the OS. The app might still not work, but it's not getting access to your camera or mike unless you want it to.
Successful businesses could have been ended for any number of reasons. Video stores come to mind - arcades, skating rinks, drive-ins, etc. Massive changes in demographics killed entire industries.
As a general rule, however, I'm skeptical of entrepreneurs in 2012 talking on Slashdot.:-)
Any commercial infrared camera (game cameras) can be detected at night by simply turning the bright lights off. You'll have to spend $$$$$$ for motion sensing night vision gear if you don't want your evidence to "disappear" as the trash appears.
What's the big deal. Other than Staples, every place I go that has a "loyalty" program has a card they let non-members use right there on the terminal. I always get Stop & Shop and CVS discounted pricing.
And the Fed's manipulation of rates has broken natural competition between banks. If a banker has a good eye to investments and makes an AWESOME return for his clients, that should encourage them to give more money back to their capital holders (savers) and thereby draw more customers allowing him to make more deals.
The Fed skews this by setting on rate - no real competition in rates (until the Internet banks came along), and those profits instead go to the CEOs and management, who have very little skin in the game, since they buy and sell their debt to the Fed (who transfers it to the taxpayer).

Trump is many things, but stupid is not one of them.
I trust him about as much as I trust Hillary, which is not at all, but neither was or is stupid.
I agree with this - if one must be specialized in Law to be a judge, one must be specialized in the subject matter at hand to be a judge of it.
The real answer is to restore the peer-to-peer nature of the Internet such that you don't have to.
Raspberry Pi's (or similar) hosting easy-to-run FB (or whatever) clones.
With the advent of Letsencrypt, this is even more plausible than it was a few years ago. The key problem is always ISP port blocking and such.
This so much.
Myspace was very much about YOU.
Facebook is very much about your friends.
Twitter has mostly replaced Myspace, IMHO.
[q]Noone would pay Netflix if we had similar services for free,[/q]
Free means either ad-supported, or it means funded by someone hoping to turn a profit some other way, or as a loss leader for some other product.
You don't get services like Netflix for Free. It's just not possible.
Right, because the folks making cheap chinese crap care what apple thinks.
Whether it can work electrically is something completely different altogether.
The Note and the Edge are better all around phones just from what I've seen so far.
Especially at that price.

Apple and Google both FUBAR'd this.
Yes it does, you nitwit.
The real answer is to tax spending, not income OR wealth. FairTax.org
Social Security is a ponzi.
Everyone seems to forget that the GPL wasn't created for DEVELOPER freedom, but for end-user freedom.
:-P

He could have sold out.

How the hell can anyone say with any amount of certainty where a meteorite come from?
Only if your free time is worth $0 to you.
You can't help people (witness drug addicts, alcoholics, etc).
They have to help themselves - else you'll be helping them FOREVER (I.E. America's own Trillion dollar welfare state).
I'd rather spend money on rocketships.
And fucking all of the WinMo 6 folks by moving to a completely incompatible architecture surely helped. How'd that work out for Palm?

Biggest. Ponzi. Ever.
They always backpedal when their mouth gets away from them.
