"Still, maybe the best way to engage in interstellar travel is just to wait until the time is right."
Yes, let's hop on board a star. That's safe and makes sense. Even orbiting it, to catch up to the star, you have to be going the same speed as it and in the same direction, in which case you might as well just keep going in whatever craft you're in and ignore the star. Hurray for physics and math.

So it's illegal abuse of their monopoly...but only for 5 years then it's a free for all. That makes sense. What a load of crap. The next president should run his entire platform on crushing ISPs and replacing them with companies that actually give a crap about service and fair pricing. I use my internet a lot more than I use healthcare so guess which one I want reformed.

Well our Foxconn workers are basically slaves who jump off the roofs occasionally but we better use that 75% profit margin and illegal monopoly abuse proceeds to stop global warming! (actually they just want free electricity after the panels pay for their initial investment). At least now they can get an eco-credit on those taxes that they don't pay to the US gov.

A biotoxin that kills basically all known living cells isn't good to drink? YOU DON'T SAY?! By the way, I've noticed a pattern. The doctors that say drinking a glass of wine per night if good for you are also incredibly fat and thus complete hypocrites and possibly alcoholics.

I looked into how this can possibly work. Apparently they go to the post office and send their drug shipment with priority mail. WHAT THE HELL?! So spend like $50,000 on one drug sniffing dog at each major USPS hub. Problem solved. Then when those idiots resort to in-person trades, arrest them in sting operations. How has the FBI not figured this out yet?!

Does anyone have actual numbers on subscriptions to Office 365 vs amount of customers who simply bought Office 2013 outright? I would bet that OS licensing would be 5x less popular than even those pathetic office subscription numbers.

Let's break it down. You pay for the OS forever so Office 2003 for example would have cost you over $2000 per seat by now. BUT WAIT it's worth it because you get free mandatory updates to your product so you have to re-test all your corporate software every single time they release an OS so it costs EVEN MORE money! What a great deal! Paying 10x more for software plus upgrades you never wanted. And I'm sure it's simple to buy a computer from Dell or HP with no windows license when you replace your actively subscribed PCs with new hardware. MS is a big fan of OEMs selling OS-less computers.
