Whenever you start a sentence with "Ihmo there isn't so much left to innovate in [tech field]" you already know you are probably wrong about it.

"more influence" is enough. In a democracy, nobody has but "influence", that's called "checks and balances". Giving real power to any human being --elected or not-- is generally a bad idea.

It has been good for many things so far, it just doesn't get reported usually. And if the Constitution Treaty hadn't been rejected by popular vote some years ago, the EP would actually have much more influence over the Commission.

Please explain. I have sites that run for years without me editing a single line of code or any other sort of maintainance. Backups run automatically, so do regular clean-ups of the database and certain directories. What sort of maintainanc

Or how about this: MS could just build again inovative and beautiful products and invent new stuff that pushes the limits of technology, rather than only having the legal and marketing departments kill off competing products? Sounds crazy,

What you call "visible support" is really only "polluting the comments". "Me too" posts just fill up the comments with text without substance. See also: * Feb 1983 First "Me too" post ( http://www.google.com/googlegroups/archive_announce_20

"""But after you settle in, both places are great.""" Found this in the comments. After having lived in different countries for the last 15 years (originally from Germany), that has become my conclusion, not only regarding the US and UK. It

Don't know in the US, but in Germany it is a criminal act afaik (ianal). Looking forward to the EU investigation into this. Maybe Facebook soon joins Microsoft in having to pay a billion euro fine?

The depressing thing about this is that people will notice that email doesn't work and then use fb messages even more. I mean, how many people are still with one of the major banks, only a few years after their greedy behavior caused so muc

Its always "due to translation problems". That's usually the next step after the "yelling" part. The yelling part is to make the customer give in a little more. After that, blame all the yelling on misunderstandings due to language problems

What you describe is a quite normal business relationship with a Chinese company. There is always the "unreasonable counter offer" once they know there is almost no way back for you. There is always yelling (but not insulting!), that's a no

I disagree. SEO serves a purpose. It makes web sites more accessible to users, by correctly using HTML (title, h1, alt="", etc.) and it makes the web more machine readable and thus easier to find useful things. But I guess you mainly refer

HFT is just another area where everybody knows that it is broken, it does not serve any useful purpose for society, and everybody knows that eventually it will lead to a huge crash. And nobody does anything, because there is just too much q

The problem here is that the voters in the Netherlands and in France have rejected the EU Constitutial Treaty in 2004 that would have given the EU Parliament much more power. The "replacement" Treaty of Lisboa did not go that far. But anywa
