My only real gripe with English is the spelling being almost completely not phonetic. If only we could fix that...

I read the OP in a different way. In IT - as in pretty much every other field - there are many more low-level jobs than high-level ones. It's also much easier, and much less risky from a strategic point of view, to outsource the low-le

With this kind of long term predictions, it's practically impossible to get the numbers right - ie the number of years it will take for resource X to end, how many billion people Earth can sustain, etc. But this doesn't mean that

This is what I understood was being debated: industry requires a lot of water, and they can pay it 10 times what the peasants pay for it. But, currently, they aren't allowed to buy the water that is needed for farming, which is the sam

Did it ever occur to you that pricing hundreds of millions of poor Chinese farmers out of their ability to grow food to eat, so that much richer exporting industries can have more water, while being a "market solution", might n

I used to think like you, but I had to change my mind many years ago. There are opinions you don't agree with - and those shouldn't be downvoted - and there are blatant lies or idiocies at the "the World is flat" level,

The point is that you can easily do that with guns you can easily and legally buy in the US, and then applying a kit that you can also easily and buy in the US to make them fully automatic.
