I have been a slashdotter for around 8 years (I do have an ID in the 500,000s), and this is the first time in all that time that I have seen relatively insightful posts modded as "troll" or "overrated".

YOU ARE ALL CAR IGNORANT!!
Cars of today cannot be compared to cars of 10, 30, or 50 years ago.
I have learned what I needed to know for each of my vehicles, and I find that all of my cars go years between "repairs", but, then, I have taken the time to learn how to take care of all of them.
Sometimes, I take the time to work on them myself, and sometimes a mechanic works on them. I find none of these autos to be more reliable than the others.

"Success" of a corporation should reflect the primacy of employees.
Payouts to stockholders should be viewed as COSTS to be contained, with the REWARDS of productivity improvements accruing to employees.

First, it should be acknowledged that corporations are (semi-)public entities with obligations for the public good and subject to control by both the community and their employees.
