I bet you in 10,000 years if the human race is still around, gold will still be tradeable for anything used as a form of currency anywhere on the planet.
And I bet you're wrong. Tell me, what actual worth does gold have? Outside of it's use as a conductor, not a whole hell of a lot. And if we get to a Mad Max or apocalyptic scenario, what use will gold actually have? Why would you take gold in exchange for food, or bullets?
Athletic departments usually sustain themselves. And in the vast majority of schools, there's a pretty big wall between funding for the school, and funding for the athletic programs.
Agreed. Part of the reason for the doctor shortage in the US is because people who have the talent and ability to become great doctors aren't going into medicine, they're going into finance. Same with engineering.
What needs to happen is that the "market" needs to correct itself, and realize that these finance jackasses aren't worth anywhere near what they're paid.
It depends on what the gains you get from switching are. Moving from MS Office to Google Docs means you have fewer features, but there are other things you gain. If you don't actually use a lot of those features that you lose, is it really something that's worse?
Well no, but then that's because Jobs had taste. If he had dreamed anything like the Metro interface, he probably would have woken in a cold sweat from the nightmare.
I honestly wonder how many of these incidents blamed on outside vendors are actually the result of something the outside vendor did, and not the result of some manager yelling and screaming loud enough to make the vendor do something to shut him up and not lose business.
The end user was already paying for it with the unlimited data plans. AT&T decided to be a greedy little bitch and end that. Now they want both the end user and the app developer to pay them money.
Are you trying to say it's better for the ISP to be able to outright lie, and not define the caps at all? At least having them publish the caps means they can't change them secretly at will.
Actually, without a job but with shared custody every other weekend, the woman may be forced to pay him based off how much time a year he has the kids and how much she earns.
I know the law may say that, but I'll believe it when I see it actually happen.
You don't have any facts, period. You have this incredibly religious faith that somehow the private sector will actually make life better for us. It won't. Your rants against "fake money" are not legitimate in the least. And the term "Free market regulation" is an oxymoron: there is no such thing, and therefore absolutely nothing stopping someone from selling you tainted meat, and if you're like most people, you're not going to have the means to do anything about it.
That did not prove your position at all. Again, you are trying to paint this as something against GPL, yet you have nothing to back that up. And then you claim we are "insulting" you, when you go ahead and do the exact same thing. It's ok when you do it, but not us?
Go fuck yourself. You have no actual data proving your point.
As we have seen posted here earlier both Firefox and GPL usage have been going down month after month after month, why? because the people have decided that the "freedom" that GPL V3 tries to force is not something they want, that's why.
Wow. I'd like to see you even try to back that up with facts. And remember, the plural of anecdote is not data, and correlation does NOT imply causation.
the people would rather have something that "just works" like Chrome than play "lets find a codec" like Firefox so it bombs
That is in no way accurate to how things are. But don't let things like "Facts" get in the way of your ideology.

Ahhh, so I can't actually use bitcoins for anything. I still have to use US Dollars (or Euros, or whatever they use where ever you are).
It isn't worth it because it is essentially a victimless crime.
Try telling that to someone who actually has had their identity stolen.
It's considerably harder to fake a cryptographic signature.
Who needs to fake the cryptographic signature when in reality it means fuck all regarding the person that generated it?
Losing access to the coin does not destroy it.
No, but for all practical purposes, the coin is gone for the foreseeable future. The same outcome happens.

That's why you keep the Win7 install disks around. Remember, even after Vista was on the way out, it was still possible to get a copy of XP.
but I don't see any real advantage for creating content.
1. It depends on the content.
2. How many end users actually "create content" in a way that a tablet is not good enough?
From what I've heard, Win8 isn't really targeted at businesses. It's more targeted at consumers and tablets. Businesses would still be on Win7.
But you didn't pay enough for the device.
I'm sorry, but that's complete and utter bullshit.
Well no, but then that's because Jobs had taste. If he had dreamed anything like the Metro interface, he probably would have woken in a cold sweat from the nightmare.
So your anecdotes are worth more than empirical data gathered through studies?
I don't want to have to hunt through tabs and list boxes just to bold something
I'm sorry, but that was a piss poor example. The Bold button is right there at the top, where it always was.

Someone has to pay for this bandwidth.
The end user was already paying for it with the unlimited data plans. AT&T decided to be a greedy little bitch and end that. Now they want both the end user and the app developer to pay them money.
The person you talk to to try to end the service will generally lie and say that the clause doesn't apply to you
That should be flat out illegal, and punishable by HUGE fucking fines, both on the part of the agent and the company.

No, it's not. I know you're one of those militant internet Atheists who hate all semblances of religion, but it is not the lesser of evils here.
when presented with a fact

i give you links
That did not prove your position at all. Again, you are trying to paint this as something against GPL, yet you have nothing to back that up. And then you claim we are "insulting" you, when you go ahead and do the exact same thing. It's ok when you do it, but not us?

BTW you know insults are the last refuge of the small minded correct?
Glad to see you admit that you are small minded. Cause your previous post was nothing but insults.
Oooooo, you have lines on paper. Good for you. Again, remember, CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION.
You have absolutely nothing backing you up. Admit that.
You're an idiot. You know that, right?
