You really don't have to "think"... all you have to do is go look at the history of the US. With no possible regulations on interstate trade we made a killing in the industrial era... there was of course some growing pains which were more or less resolved, but that's beside the fact.
I think Micrsoft is the new Scarlet Letter of resumes for some people.;)
I admit though, the first thing I thought when I read the title was: "Great, now MS is going to farm off their execs to get people to build Windows Phone 7 devices."
Depends on the city or local ordinance. Most locations do not make it illegal to stand around and pick your nose. It's usually only specific areas by mandate.
I lived in Schaumburg, IL for about three years and while traveling to work I made a double lane change. An unmarked car pulls me over (quite entertaining to watch him pull up next to me waving his arms like I killed someone.) When he came up to my car screaming and hollering about how I was driving like a maniac and how he could pull me out of my car right now and take me downtown....
This went on for a good 2-3 minutes and I kept my calm. When he was done ranting, I got a ticket for reckless driving which I took to court and explained the whole ordeal: Dismissed.
Now, I can understand that some people would have absolutely freaked out and I'm sure that's what he was trying to get me to do. It's sad that it happens, but sometimes keeping a cool head is best with a cop trying to rile you up.
That incident made me petition my workplace to let me move back to Ohio where I've never had a serious problem with police confrontation. In fact, most cops I've met or known here are generally level headed. (There are exceptions, but for the most part they seem to be a very professional bunch.)
I care a lot about it. As a partial JS developer it means I can do more without lagging the heck out of my users. I can create more complicated fun stuff instead of doing bare minimum. I can run that extra DOM check that I was scared to do previously looking for items that match some jQuery string. There's just so much more than that and those just sound like the "lazy" stuff.
(It's not about laziness of coding... more: "I can't add this because..." -- I do interactive stuff in Flash/JS/etc. I welcome faster scripting in any language.)
Chip manufacturing is done via printing transistors rather than assembling them... I think GP was more concerned with the notion of making small components (resistors/capacitors/etc.), but I would think the smaller the component would mean lower power/less usefulness.
You may think it has a "clunky interface", but I personally like it much more than Chrome. Though, I end up using Chrome more often because of synchronized bookmarks and I use multiple machines. That doesn't mean I like the interface. I just find that it has one killer feature I would rather not live without.
As far as interfaces: Firefox > Chrome > IE8 (I have not used Safari or Opera, but I imagine they are Chrome-like in going for form over function.) I do however combine all the Firefox toolbars into one nice thin bar at the top: http://i.imgur.com/cDQqW.png
First of all, any of those technologies don't support games as good as Flash, and don't have a universal way for websites to embed them. Usually you also end up having to give out your full code, which just isn't going to work for companies and some people.
I'm pretty sure that's how DirectX initially got started. I remember digging through bulk masses of Microsoft "free" code to find out how to do stuff early on. Little did I know then that most people probably just took and copy/pasted that code into their own game... but apparently that's how you "win" the game. You just have to write the program for some people and play ignorant when it comes to copyright.
Well... would you steal the rims off a car if you could just buy a set yourself?
It makes sense, but I don't think any answer is just setting the minimum wage to $75k. Money not earned is soon to be money wasted on things you probably don't need.
You are getting into the "more processing" category. For me, it doesn't matter if there is a shopping center, so therefore it does not exist to me until I visit it or drive by. I guess you could call me a "Athopping Centerist." (I kid.)
There are a group of people who would agree that that shopping center must exist because they've seen a shopping center and they know they exist or simply by trusting you. Therefore, there could be one there (there must be one there) until proven otherwise. I, however will not plan my day around that shopping center existing, nor will I be telling everyone else that it exists based solely on your word.
Now, that breaks down my thought process into several tiny decisions. Such decisions can be (but not limited to) knowing you, trusting you, having prior knowledge of if the place you mention exists, if I've been there, if there was something else there before... several nodes of processing later I come to a decision that: "That's cool. Thanks for letting me know, but I'll probably never go there unless I need to." And I don't need a god to live my life. Therefore, I don't need to believe in some god... therefore, it doesn't exist.
One could also say that the bigger problem with most religions isn't so much the existence of God as the placating individuals into thinking there is one and making them follow a strict set of rules decided upon by said religion.
Don't confuse Atheism with Anti-religion. Some people feel both ways, but some of us only feel as though there is no god. I could give a rat's ass what you do in your free time as long as it doesn't mess with my free time.
There are many aspects people stick to binary (true/false) operations on. Democrat or Republican, left or right, God or not... very few people think of the middle ground because the middle ground may actually be a combination of sub-choices and requires more thought. One could argue that every decision boils down to a subtree of true/false actions, even picking a color of paint or pen you use. There are those that stick to black or white because it requires less processing.
They could sell off access to it, but they could also maintain their own priority switch in case of emergency where they shut off all access to that network. I don't believe there is a law against that.

Or just don't open the outgoing port and you can't upload because nobody can connect to it.

Someone had to coordinate, and stick their neck out... and put together a package that sells.

You mean Javascript? ;)

Canadian also somehow climbed up the slang rankings for an opposing race when you don't want to say the other slang words for them.
"Damn, those Canadians can't _____!"
But you can use it to keep the rebels off your front lawn! ;)

If this is the case, be very careful setting it on your lap. Sometimes the tires mar the couch cushions.
When I was a kid, I always took that to mean: "Try it now!"
Oil was created millions of years ago... but I wouldn't bathe in it. ;)
Goo Gone... works for everything I throw it on. (sometimes even paint...)

I totally agree. Though, I no longer live in the desert. ;)
I would say it's not a faith. It's a philosophy.

Can you prove it? Because I think many scientists are asking that question. Does gravity exist in minute forms where matter does not?

Maybe if they actually had ideas, rather than catch phrases everybody wouldn't automatically assume they are stupid.
It's amazing how "stupid" people have created a very succinct list of ideas for action that can be read on this Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_from_America
While some of them are dated agendas, it's not really a terrible list and I think it falls in line with your statement of "actually [having] ideas."
I'm not a Tea Party member, but I'm sure there are more ideas floating around. This was from a quick 30 second Internet search.
