    >The French government is subsidizing entertainment for a select part of the population, and THIS is your concern?

    Who is to day the idea didn't originate from the online music services? "They kids won't pay for music, so let's make the government pay."

    >intuition that the Universe is a big place.

    Dude, the universe is a big place. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to the universe.

    I agree. I think we should replace it with "ass raping."

  7. Re:Crushing poverty is one hell of a motivator on Why Are Indian Kids So Good At Spelling? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I agree that adversity is a great motivator, it doesn't apply here. Asians, on average, earn more than any other racial group in USA. Eastern culture (ex, Indian, Chinese, Japanese) is also typically collective (vs. individualistic in the West), leading to higher family income. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States#Race

    How long before your contract realizes they too can send it to India and get it done for $3000, leaving you with $0?

    That's fine. But what if Nvidia asked/coerced a developer to only do a neat effect on Nvidia hardware even if ATI's hardware is capable of it? That's what the case will try to find out, hopefully.
