No one forced Greece to accept the IMF and EU bailout. Greece could have restructured its debt before its bailout, but decided against it. Somehow I am missing how the IMF was cruel for offering loans to Greece and then expecting to eventually get the money paid back.
The price companies charge for their product has nothing to do with their cost, regardless of the product. Companies price products based upon how much consumers are willing to pay.
Net neutrality is not necessarily good. Net neutrality is now required because the FCC allowed excessive internet consolidation. With sufficient competition we would be better off without more FCC laws about what can and can't be done on the internet.
Wind turbines are made out of plastic. What are they planning to make them out of if not fossil fuels? Will they switch to making turbines out of wood?
Bicycles and walking are powered by very non-green energy sources. An engine that spews CO2 from one end and methane from the other end. Travelling by an electric car is much greener than walking.
Many computers running Windows XP can not be upgraded to Windows 7 because Windows 7 has additional hardware requirements. I own one of these type of computers. There is no way for me to upgrade my Windows XP computer.

BTW, the $800 has to be paid in advance. i.e. before the tax year starts.
Nonsense. Whether or not the worker is incorporated makes no change to employee / contractor relationship.

According to TPP pushed by Obama and supported by GOP
BTW, Obama is a Democrat.
Where companies don't pass on cost savings to their customers, it's not a competitive market.
Economics 101: There is no relationship between costs and prices. Prices are instead determined by how much people are willing to pay.
Nuclear breeder reactors are renewable.
The most popular topic on this website is politics. Not IT.
The result of dividing my zero is not infinity.

There are more choices than just Agile and Waterfall.
Maybe.
Agile works for certain types of projects. It is unsuitable for some other types of projects.
Why do we want to train customer service representatives to be angry and rude? Can't they learn how to do that on the job?
Just because the user and the server are not in the United States doesn't mean the traffic to the server isn't going through the United States.

And the last barrier to mass adoptions has been price.
Tesla has yet to demonstrate it can make a profit selling cars for $85,000.
93% of the accumulating heat from global warming goes into the oceans
There does not exist historical deep ocean temperature readings to prove this conjecture.
You don't know what bad customer service is until you have dealt with AT&T. I have had AT&T and Comcast and AT&T is worse.
