Better startup time and more intuitive to use for non freaks (just like Safari on a Mac), and we already would by at 50%.

What's wrong with using Swing? It's interesting that Qt places itself as "a better Java". Regarding the UI and API parts, many coders knowing both Java and Qt seem to agree.

Maybe most hackers should spend more of their real time in real nature? In fact, most of us live in a box, most of the time.

PG (or simply anybody else ) should simply do the following: Try to say what you wanted to say in 1 (one) sentence only. If you're not capable of that, you actually don't have anything to say , and you really would do better j

Sure, but most people here are still too deeply inside the American Dream, and if you wake them up, they get a little nervous... The US is really getting old already, and for sure they will be the last ones to recognize it... (as it alw

And if we substitute religion with faith? We all know (from daily experience) that we need to trust / have faith / etc. in someone or something. No single human is able to start from 0 and to do it all by himself. Now, the current faith of

99.99% of humanity has been religious so far (from its early beginnings until now, being atheism a very rare phenomenon in the past). If you want to really understand humans, why ignore that fact?

This doesn't surprise me: the highly risky money speculations (all invented in the US) had to come to an end, sooner or later. They did well as long as the US had a continuous growth, but there are now many 'New Americas' out there, which w

Maybe you concentrate too much on Europe, America, and the 'modern world'. If you look at other people, you see that there have been periods where people lived 100 years and more, and this many many centuries back. Regarding science and rel

What kind of medicine: the modern/european/american/... one, or the antique/chinese/naturalistic/... one? One of them seems to be real science, the other is more similar to religion than to real science. The most important fact is: only the

Science is all done by scientists, and (most/all/?) scientists are humans (so far). For the last 4 centuries, we have seen a continuous increase of science to form peoples' opinion. But science is only science (no joke -- it's the current

One big difference between the US and Europe is the French Revolution: it has been disastrous to religion in Europe (especially in France), and simply didn't happen in the US.
