That's probably why Windows ME and Vista didn't have numerical version names.

Pork isn't corruption. It's not illegal. It's a part of the democratic process. It is in the bill and it's voted on. It sounds like your issue is with democracy itself, not with corruption.

Disney at some point was "too dependent" on Mickey (or whatever character). It's how they handle it from here on out. They could go bust or they could become a top entertainment conglomerate.

Yeah, this does nothing but promote the idea that it's "who you know." You have to be in the right circles to even get a shot at serendipity.

Pork is just a fact of life in Congress and is a rather negligible amount of spending. Refusing to govern because bills have pork/riders is negligent. He should resign.

Do you really believe some college courses and YC contacts are what's standing between someone and making a Google Fiber ISP? There's a reason there's only one, and it's Google Fiber, and not Bob's Fiber of Main Street.

Mining tweets to determine global reaction to a stadium power outage is far more interesting, of course.

I don't understand why we're not trying to run our cars on natural gas.

Number of planes per person seems irrelevant because you can only be in one plane (and thus emitting carbon) at a time.

The savings aren't that big of a deal when you're talking about a flight with 200+ paying passengers. You are still going to have someone in there in case the computer system malfunctions, they might as well be a pilot. Autopilot is driverl

If you're an active millionaire worker or investor, you are going to be near your business interests first and foremost. You can't leave everything behind just for taxes. If you're retired, income probably isn't as big of a consideration as

It's a loan, not shares, either. Does your mortgage lender get to tell you which career path to take?

Who cares? Does the ability to buy a tailored suit correlate positively with investment acumen? If a speaker's appearance convinces you to invest your money, you're a sucker.

Of course it's a bubble. I think most of these will burst, but some of them will withstand it. One thing to remember: it's in the best of interest of everyone involved in a bubble to deny there's a bubble. These investors who say "it's diff

Yuck. This kind of hyperobsession with rules is part of what puts me off about Nordic countries.

If there was one course/tutorial you could recommend for learning ruby on rails, what would it be? How about the new wave of schools and real life courses, are they worth anything? can anyone chime in?

Isn't that the end result of capitalism? To optimize returns on capital. It says nothing about labor or workers.

It's better to automate and mechanize the food production and harvesting processes, then, which is already happening in agriculture.

Every government appropriation is a change in the law. The government passes a bill every year that dictates how money will be divided amongst different agencies and departments. So, there is no way to appopriate tax dollars without a chang

So just take it out of general government revenues (raise them if necessary). Trying to tax only those who use the service (which is probably 99.9% of people) is ridiculous. It just creates more bureaucracy and is a waste of time for everyo

Couldn't they just pull the plug on all of their servers? Then they wouldn't need the keys. They could demand removal of copyrighted files, but if Mega refuses to do so, they could demand the server be taken offline until they figure out ho

I have no idea where QR codes came from and why they are so prevalent either. I have never seen anyone I know use them, and I have never been told how to scan them. What is the "official" app everyone uses to scan these things?

It's a defective battery on what amounts to an entirely new type of airplane. The A380 wasn't even a new type of frame, just a bigger one, and it still suffered serious issues. Guess what, it's flying as we speak.

People usually spend half their paycheck on rent. It's not too bad considering you don't need a car, especially if you are a couple living together. In the rest of the US you'd each need a car which is easily $800/mo when you account for de

You're almost certainly trolling. If you are paying 1700 for a 180 sq ft studio (which is probably illegal), and think that's a steal, that's awful
