There is also the increased cost of getting this merchandise to an area that is in shortage. If the roads are in disrepair, or there is flooding, it's gonna cost more to stock it. I have a feeling that not all increased prices are goug

Everyone complains about capitalism. Is there an actual solution? Is there an alternative that benefits the community as much as Socialism does? And then, what do we do with the crap parts of Socialism? Do we just TRY it and hope it works?

You're saying we should get rid of the financial industry? What, because we're all so good at managing our own money? Guaranteeing the big banks can't fail is how we keep the economy going. If a bank fails, everyone that is o

You're not limited to stock. You can purchase options or futures, or play around with foreign exchanges. IPOs show up more rarely because it's SUPPOSED to be hard to start a new business. You can approach companies to try and buy

Software isn't protected by patents - it's just IP laws as well. You can't patent software in general. Maybe the look and feel of your product, but not the functionality.

This just read like a bunch of "I think" and "it might" instead of "I know" and "it will." So, stating that crony capitalism is hurting regular capitalism doesn't do anything except make people a

So you cannot directly copy their text, I would assume, and republish it since they charge a subscription for access to their articles.

You forgot swords and maces and lances, going back to spears and arrows of crude stone and stick... We can go back, way back before the artificial horizon you place on it, and see that people have been killing - and in the most gruesome way

I'll put my cats up against your terrier any day. Bite, whimper, dead. That would be your terrier. My cats kill moles and mice. They do a damn good job of it. Only thing dogs seem capable of killing: rabbits and themselves.

Just stop. Stop bickering about cats being the problem. The problem is humans... We are the problem. Their existence is due to us. Their domestication is due to us.

So silly... we worry about cats, but humans BY FAR are worse for the planet than cats. Maybe we should be talking about the mass execution of humans who pose no positive benefit for the population as a whole? We, as the dominant species, ar

There is nothing inherently wrong with garbage collection, but it does take your control away. You have to allow for a certain level of "magic" to have elements be freed. This doesn't always work so memory leaks are a bit h

What if some whistleblower wannabe releases information about the next strike on [pick a target] just because he thinks words are better than weapons and we should "talk it out." What about that kind of problem?

However, if people emboldened to get their 5 minutes of fame for releasing some really juicy confidential or top secret info that has nothing to do with [your list here], this is the WORST possible outcome.

I don't think he should be pardoned. He claims that it's because he helped the public see the sinister plot of our government and their internal spying. Ok, fine. So, should we have pardoned Jack Ruby (if he were alive) for killin

Phones are already so thin, it's getting crazy. Soon we'll be talking about phone-cuts (like a paper cut) and phone-cut-gate will be the story. Seriously, I'd be fine with a phone that is almost 2cm thick for great battery li

Of course. And if they come out with another new feature I'm sure you'll point out how it should have been in version 1. But getting v1.0 out the door is tough - trying to add every feature will just delay it indefinitely.

The ghost stream manager was responsible for sending ghost representations of objects. They weren't full objects, but contained the properties or a subset of properties. All of the code was accessible as the Garage Games Torque engine.
