I don't think it's a matter of laziness. More so where is it best to spend your expensive/valuable developer resources, on the product or some home-baked analytic's framework? I applaud SpiderOak, but they are much diffe

If that's so then why has there not been aa "Large Terror Attack" in the US since 9/11? Pulling off another such successful attack has been a stated major goal of Al Queda and not ISIS. Clearly something is preventing it

Nobody needs 70 mb/s for basic internet access. I think the cheap lower/end is 20-30 /month. I pay $30/month for 50 mb/s and it works just fine for HD streaming videos. I would love higher BW but while I could affo

I'm sure Saddam kill thousands of Bassel Khartabil like figures during his time in power. By this logic you should have supported that war as well. I'm not quite sure what you mean by Afghanistan? I'm pretty sure we invaded

And where exactly are you getting the idea from that it was 'satire'? Everything I've seen Heinlein ever say about the novel straightly points to it not being satire; he was completely serious his thoughts on philosophy, m

Then I guess I, and Heinlein, read it pretty shallowly, since he's has been quoted as saying his novel glorifies the military. I still really enjoyed the book, but I don't know how you could possibly read it as not a pro military
