China might own the world by perfecting Last Year's Tech. They can take things like XP and build stuff on it. They can force MS to struggle with the problems of innovation like Vista and even 7, and then when the lifecycle of XP finally draws to a close, they can make a deal for Windows 8 fresh off the shelf, because it's been vetted by 10 years of R&D. Stuff they build on Windows 8 will last for the next ten years while MS once again struggles with their first implementation of Azure Cloud OS.
You may not be an E, but I think you're close to the mark. School Jingo sez that stocks are wonderful etc.
There's a new factor going on here that given the same stocks, 40 years ago the slow and steady dividends were "smart". But if we make all of society devalue long term worth of anything, then we encourage abuse of the short term effect.
In a story about the future of the net, there's fewer than five insightful posts to reply to. I'll try yours.
If $RandomLawFirm can sue for free anyone who has ever made a forum post by deciding that any one post crosses a line they retroactively moved, that will be the end of the internet in 2012.
See the post about splitting you and the seller. FB shares are severely (something) wherein you can't imagine precisely where between infinity and zero they reside. GS will probably play the scheme QUADRA, so they can do both the rise profits AND the shortsell profits.
Except wrapped up in this Kelin-Bottle mess is that Facebook managed to be the first non-email company to convince "Middle America" that they should put their whole lives on it, "because everyone is doing it". So one day when Facebook goes wrong, that database will be the biggest identity theft risk ever known.
I had a massive 4-part re-spin of your comment in flux, but then I wiped it for being too depressing. Let's just say this:
At the same time we're about to get a lot of "Everyone must sacrifice to pay down the debt" government rhetoric, the Gov bails out Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile Mr. Z. somehow convinces parents who decided to skip myspace that finally Facebook Is It, the place to post every personal detail they have. Remember the folks last week who wanted to make it the internet passport?
Then American company Goldman Sachs takes the US Taxpayer bailout money and uses it to float foreign shares of American company Facebook holding the lives of millions of Americans, while denying US taxpayers the right to buy the shares of the company they put their lives on.
Let him. Just use a Whitelisted system. There are Kids Browsers out there. If he wants a site in his browser, "he has to ask IT". That's the mentality we should promote, not "the net is too big and scary".
I'd rather a kid gets to do things without mommy and just know in the background that say when he turns 14 he can get "the adult internet".
This is the comparison I am reviewing. I'm really becoming a member of the Good Enough club lately. Not so sure why the EC didn't review Windows 7 in that study but oh well.. For ideological reasons I am waiting for Windows 8. Vista, fine, it's gone. 7 was "Fix Vista". So to me that leaves Windows 8 to "do something" interesting to see if it can really knock XP off the perch in a Tech World Agrees manner.
I'll bypass your complex tone and reply by mentioning the Deletionist viewpoint that says, (hold on while I look for the post in this thread), bunratty's point from 3:28pm,
"...People tend to forget that it's an encyclopedia, not a place to deposit the sum total of all human knowledge on every subject. Encyclopedia articles should cover only the most important aspects of a subject. Readers who want every little detail should go to the sources or other material referred to in the article..."
It's also definitely not quite the "free-of-peer-pressure" exchange of ideas. There's definitely an art to getting a fact to stick.
Wikipedia is still the fastest first step to something usable overall. If you expect 10% of every page to be wrong, it's still enough to settle basic coworker arguments.
Let's try the hoax in the summary that Jimmy did it all. The correct answer is:
The earliest known proposal for an online encyclopedia was made by Rick Gates in 1993,[1] but the concept of an open source web-based online encyclopedia was proposed a little later by Richard Stallman around 1999. Wikipedia was formally launched on 15 January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger using the concept and technology of a wiki pioneered by Ward Cunningham.
Intel: Hiya!. We're gonna put Windows 8 on our smartphones, Okay? Microsoft: No, we only allow Windows Phone to go on Phones. Intel: Hmmm. But since Motorola showed we can run an entire workstation on a phone, let's use the workstation OS! Microsoft: No. Intel: But Windows Phone won't work on a workstation. It's still WinTel! Microsoft: NO Intel: Look, we're sorry that Windows Phone is once again obsolete the minute it came out, but we can do this! Microsoft: Check Line 4. That's Counsel Calling.

Sky's Alive, your post is the one.

Except we do care for our quota of 10 obscure people per month. (Your quota may vary.) Usually it's the "Give him/her a chance".

In Facebook America, This Page Likes You!
How does a company "not expect to face privacy issues"?
"But you want to connect with everyone! And there was no way to do that before!"
Hi. This is 2 years from now. You gave us the missing piece of the puzzle to narrow down which Billy Smith you are. Now the game changes completely.

Nah. Now Owning people is called Work.

What happened to Larry Sanger so that he does not even get mentioned anymore?

No, we decided that if we were going to be oppressed, we could at least bask in the small luxury of complete sentences.
