Government Employee Unions should be outlawed, plain and simple. Even FDR thought they were a terrible idea ( http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=15445 ). You're basically using collective bargaining against the taxpayer at vari

Before Facebook, couldn't I share and receive the same information over email? What if FB was a desktop email client that just made that really easy to do, like Flock for email? Would TBL or anyone care about such a silo? If the value of th

I am a new father and totally agree. With parenthood comes plenty of new responsibilities that interfere with our ability to dream. Since children have far less responsibility and fear, they need to be the dreamers. Many recent college grad

Fine. He was fired for not having the magic ability to change his voice in order to please his asshole boss. My only point was that he shouldn't be quoting someone unless it's first-hand. We have no way to verify it.

I don't doubt that jobs is an asshole from time to time. You kinda have to be to get where Apple is today, from where they were. But unless you were present at the firing of your friend, or he recorded it, I don't think it's 100% fair to qu

Spaceballs reference? Ludicrous speed! Colonel Sandurz: We can't stop, it's too dangerous! We have to slow down first! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094012/quotes Google and the Spaceballs seem to have a lot in common.

The risk of climate change shouldn't be political. That needs to be studied, rigorously. Al Gore may have closed the debate on whether climate change is happening, but to what extent is far from settled. Are X costs worth preventing Y damag

I just scoured the internet to find out about pricing. Nada. Apparently the media covering this new feature didn't think their readers would care about this enough to even add "No word on pricing yet" I'd imagine Skype is probably surveying

Bravo. Early in the GWOT, liberals attacked Bush for having a with us or against us attitude, or actually saying it. He wasn't nuanced at all. I see the same close-minded thinking coming from self-described liberals. Why can't we just talk

Wow, why all the hate? Just stating my opinion. I loathe old time conservatives who want to control my life. At least respect the fact that most conservatives say they're for limited govt. They might be hypocrites once they get into power

So once liberals get their wish list of policies, they will instantly turn into conservatives? You're being too literal. There's a big overlap between the tea party and libertarians. Both groups don't just want to roll back to Jan, 2009, th

Conservatism and liberalism as they relate to government have come to mean the opposite in the US, since most conservatives want to conserve the limited powers of the Constitution and liberals want new state power to impose equality of outc

It's a setback. Conservatives weren't favored in CA. True conservatives want more individual liberty and a smaller government; you own your own body as well as the fruit of your own labor and talent. The nanny state (made up of big brother

Because the government and consumer are just as culpable. Fannie and Freddie bought any loan a bank generated. They didn't care about the borrowers ability to pay back the loan! It's inexcusable that a Nobel laureate ignores this fact. It's

And in either case, the author needs to be involved. From an end-user perspective, there's one or two parties that could prevent my app working on a new OS version. So don't you always run that risk when you buy software from a small vendor

Addresses are mainly important for store checkout. A good way to grab the zip code first is to ask when calculating tax and shipping in the cart. When they check out, just default to the zip and state, then ask them to verify on the last st
