Do we think Trent Reznor, Thom Yorke, and others may follow suit? I really hope so!!

Isn't there a way to do that? For some reason I thought I read in another source about this that there was a donation type link?

Is there a reason a CEO can't wear a T-shirt? Or do you just mean because of the weather? Maybe he is wearing a super fancy and expensive invisible suit? :D

Agreed! But at one point there was a 'gold standard' which was backed by an actual thing. Although that thing was to a great extent backed by guns and ammo as well. Serious question: Could a 'crypto-currency' run on a go

As pointed out by another reply, if this user had gotten his withdrawal processed, it would show that you more or less have to fly to Japan in person to get your money. If that precedent were set I believe that would negatively impact MtGox

^This is true. While the attempt to contact the CEO in person does push the issue, it is sort of ridiculous to think that they keep 'cash on hand' at the office to cash people out. As pointed out there are a bunch of reasons to ke

2001 was 19 years ago? I didn't know that. That attack is still being used as justification for all sorts of things as well some which are causing their own destabilizing effects. Also there have been other (arguably smaller) acts of d

According to http://www.ahrq.gov In general, poor populations have reduced access to high-quality care. While people with low incomes are more likely to be uninsured, income-related differences in quality of care that are indep

I seem to recall a pretty drastic race riot right around 1995 in LA. America is also still sounding the alarms about a rather large terrorist attack in 2001. The parent didn't say that instability had increased, rather economic polariz

But are they still economically disenfranchised? The degree doesn't really matter much in terms of what the parent is saying to my thinking. It also isn't necessarily true that the change in the level of disenfranchisement is due

While what you say is true it does not change the fact that one of the main leverages used by Hitler was the economic inequality that the German public believed had been foisted upon them by the other European powers. Regardless of how the

Are you certain that Black or insert minority males are not economically disenfranchised to a greater or lesser degree? I'm not touching the sexual part with a 10 foot pole cause it bears no relevance in my opinion either. But I do t

It's progress at least. Maybe someday there will be a setting for 'sexless elder god' so Cthulhu and the rest of the gang don't feel left out.

Fair enough, I could see that. I was mostly thinking of it in terms of learned skills, rather than human relations/leadership/politics skills, which I've always felt are more of a thing that people have, or do not have. I pro

Is it 'making up statistics' when you give an opinion based on your own personal anecdotal evidence and say as much in the sentence? I understand your attempt to be provocative with your comment, but I don't see even what you

Because income inequality causes all sorts of issues (haves/have nots, concentration of power, etc) Regarding the difference between pre-WWI and Post-WWII income inequality it seems pretty disingenuous to claim (if you were) that the t

I'm baffled that Managerial work is lumped into High-Skill jobs... Easily 80% of managers I've met/worked for have been decidedly low skill. Especially when compared with engineers, research scientists, programmers, designers

Anything can be funny. If you want a perfect example (regarding rape, something widely held to be not funny) look up the George Carlin rape bit. It doesn't matter what the subject is. Anything can be funny.

What happened to "beyond a reasonable doubt"? Hacking, Photoshopping, etc all seem more than reasonable these days... But I'm pretty sure burden of proof on the prosecution and 'reasonable doubt' went the way of the

Any state south of the Mason-Dixon line is portrayed as a cartoonish land of religious fanatics, racism, and overreaction. In truth it is not exactly so, but I personally wouldn't want to live in any of those places. I probably wouldn&

What if they have no use for the product rather than 'don't like' said product? It is quite possible to just not need to use PayPal and still work for them.

Wow. I hadn't seen him before and his picture screamed Gaius Baltar (Battlestar Galactica) / Julian Bashir (Deep Space 9) to me. The Sci-Fi is strong with this one.

The idea of getting vending machines to accept PayPal seems ridiculous. What are the fees on a 0.65 cent candy bar? Does that leave any profit at all for the operator/owner of the machine? Or am I missing something there? I'm inte

Wow that I did not know! It does seem they could have just put a banner/image on their front page with little effort though.
