Completely agree. Privacy/anonymity is priceless. Once you've lost it you'll spend a fortune on security, which is a poor analog.

It's okay to be a tiger when you're single as they're solitary animals. But, once you're MWC, you should defend your pride as a lion does. I feel bad for his wife and kids, but he was acting like a selfish idiot, no sympathy for him.

A comment like that can only come from someone who's an outsider. Be interesting to see how your perspective changes once "increased productivity" comes to your neck of the woods.

Apple would never have existed were it not for Wozniak. Unlike Jobs, who was kicked out of the company in the mid-80's, Woz has been an employee of Apple since Day 1 and still draws a paycheck today. What's more amazing about the recent Jobs fanaticism is that everyone's pretty much...

The cost of labor is ultimately a capital cost so, we're talking about the same problem, albeit from different perspectives.

What you're referring to is not a "problem," it's by design because of the 32bit addressing limit of the PCI bus. Either you have a motherboard that supports PAE so that you can use more than 4GB of memory or you don't and you're going to be limited to between 3-3.5GB of memory due to...

How about posting that again right after a reboot and with no applications open.

First off, Jobs mother was American, ditto Obama. Second, the Apple was largely Wozniak's baby, not Jobs. As for "serious" contributions, start naming them. More often than not, innovative technological breakthroughs are collaborative within a university setting and you can point to any...

If the cost of labor was normalized then I'd agree since the market would gravitate towards to most competent workers. But, the way it is now it's simply a cost-avoidance strategy that benefits the company while injuring the local economy due to unemployment.

That chart would make a lot more sense if output value was normalized to inflation.

Same goes for Yale, but only if you're a renter and don't have cash or other assets. Otherwise, even if you make less than $60K, you're going to be paying 20% or more. Also, your kid will be assigned on on-campus job that will be paid $1,500 and will be applied to the tuition. But, if you...

No, it wasn't the 70's when tax rates took off. Like most things the government interferes with, unintended consequences creep in. In the case of income tax it only took three years after it was enacted for the top tax rate to skyrocket well beyond it's initial 6% on income above $500K...

Depends. First, it depends on the degree. There are some degrees that are simply not marketable and others that will become unmarketable due to the ratio of available jobs to graduates in certain disciplines. Second, it depends on class standing. It doesn't matter how good the school was...

It is absolutely amazing how you find every single opportunity to tell us, yet again, that you're just another TexASS-clown... LED bulbs are now between $30-50/ea. And, dropping... But, they last around 30x longer, so price is a wash today and will be a plus soon. More importantly...

If that's the case then explain why the economy grew more often than not during the 200+ years prior to Reagan's tax cuts.

Don't you ever read the news on why something gapped on heavy volume? CNA Financial to buy CNA Surety CHICAGO (AP) -- Insurance company CNA Financial Corp. said Thursday it will buy all the outstanding shares of CNA Surety Corp. for $26.55 in cash...

Feline immunodeficiency virus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_immunodeficiency_virus Not sure why you're so stuck on AIDS specifically. Every animal, humans included, each are susceptible to virii that are harmless to another species.

HIV's Ancestry Traced to Wild Chimps Scientists long have known that nonhuman primates carry a relative of the AIDS virus, called SIV or simian immunodeficiency virus. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2006/05/25/chimpsiv_hea.html

Not quite... Loans and interest in Judaism The Torah and Talmud encourage the granting of loans, but only if it doesn't involve interest, with certain exceptions. Charging interest is classed in the Book of Ezekiel as being among the worst sins[3], and is forbidden according to Jewish law...

The planes "look" the same because they are both stealth fighters. There's just so much you can do from design perspective and still maintain stealth without losing maneuverability. Just look at the F-14 and Mig-25 for comparison. Aside from the Tomcat's variable geometry wing design there...
