tldr; it's a satirical cross-section of programming and comedy, and is specifically a play on the classic Louis C K cellphones/airplane rant as it pertains to javascript frameworks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K

Oh please. I want the public to know about the massive, invasive, and very likely unconstitutional programs the Executive, Legislative and Judicial systems of my government have signed off on. We need to Fight the Good Fight. But let's

Exactly. The last time there was an open debate (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Awareness_Office) about mass surveillance, Congress realized it was a bad issue with the public. So what did they do? Government simply moved these

True. And although there is a process to convert VirtualPC images to work with other formats, which I did (on OSX), however it was a major pain in the ass. Frankly, I love the new model. MS deserves to be denigrated when they do bad, and th

Agree. Loved Marc when he was with the Atlantic. He's as objective as they come.

There already was an Echelon 2.0 back in the 90's. I suspect we're on Echelon 4 or 5 or 6 or 6, etc. by now.

slightly tangential topic, but I had to respond to this because I do hear this from my fellow US citizens: >>> "* Science, at least when I went through high school was Not Cool. It was for "nerds", something that you didn't re

That's correct. It's just solid, non-debatable science. :p But seriously, unless you have the perfect storm of public transportation systems and public schooling systems, you're either getting a car to shuttle your kids to school or you mov
