>are there any other 'ism's out there? There are (and we haven't actually tried communism), but what's happening in the US doesn't show that capitalism itself is failing but rather what happens when the balance tips too far to one side.

He's saying that if the rich are spending more of their money in the economy then we should be giving them even more tax breaks so they could spend even more in the economy. Probably the reason you didn't get what he meant was because it'

True, but honestly it applies to Americans more so than a lot of other nations. It's only to be expected when, starting at a very young age, one constantly hears about how the US is "number 1" (what ever that means). I mean, look at the Ol

No, this is nonsensical. You don't have to be a good role model to bring forth a criticism. Who better to point out your alcohol problem then an alcoholic?

Working on what I want to work on is fun. Making rich people even richer by rewriting the same kind of CRUD apps over and over is not remotely fun. It pays really well though.

I don't think it does. Even if Go sucks and goes down in flame, they'll be able to find someone willing to pick up their programming. And most likely at a premium.

I can understand expecting a good dev to be interested in programming outside of work but expecting someone to give some company hours for free? Sounds like the guy is clueless. It's hard to imagine anything else he says will be useful gi

Are you talking about the commuting or the work? Why would he be working at all? We only have to work now because resources are finite. When they are no longer finite what will be the point of working? I just need a food/water machine.

>Price is not the only reason people are choosing Android devices over iPhones. Citation please? Some people no doubt buy Android for phobias about "walled gardens", etc. but that's about all I can think of having used both.

wtf? Most likely the biggest heist in history and you want to go after the people who couldn't even afford to pay their mortgages? What do you expect to get from them? They obviously don't have any money.

Starz I can see, but HBO? Content trumps all and HBO is one of the best content producers there is. No matter what happens, they will continue to find ways to make money so long as they keep delivering. Personally I would expect Netflix t

I have thought about doing this many times but my family is bilingual. If I want the movie in original (usually English) and German am I going to have to rip the movie twice? That would be a deal breaker then.

Actually I keep hearing that their great for the same reasons kids like them: easy concepts to grasp, unlike a mouse for example.

If they want to go touch they should be getting rid of the file system, not making it easier to manage. Touch devices are appliances. The reason I left windows in the first place was because I was sick of managing it. I'm certainly not g

What is your Grandpa doing with a desktop? Get him an iPad, it's all he'll ever need.

Not only are you not an Apple power user, you're a clueless Apple user. I think, if anything, you're a unix/linux user that assumes "mac console" = "power user".

The tool drives the user. Your mom works this way because, as you said, windows 95 is file oriented. If it were app oriented as Mac OS X is, I bet she would have the opposite behavior.

I was talking about tablets. Most people don't need a desktop.

Well, to be fair, we were in a bit of a rut on where to go with computers. Now the future is more clear.

The losing side will always find some reason to claim the outcome is illegitimate and if you don't get in you will always be able to find someone you think you are better than.

Are you sure about that? Windows on mobile is less than a rounding error.

Your post was so arrogant, offensive and ignorant I don't even know where to start. I suppose I'll just say: don't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Maybe you've know (of known of) people you thought were scumbags.

Thread winner right here. CEO's have no problem making more and more even though many of the productivity gains are coming from us . The issue is absolutely that we have no representation.

Then why post a nonsensical stab at socialism? It screams of simple mindedness and heavy partisan politics (your comment wouldn't even make sense in most of Europe where the politics doesn't get to such ridiculous levels of rhetoric like i

You, sir, don't have the slightest fucking clue what you're talking about.
