In the long run, there are no allies, just business relationships.
There are no polar bears on Mars. Just sayin.
You know whats creepy? People trying to tell me that other creepy people aren't really creepy because other creepy people really are creepy.
It's creepy all the way down.
Time. Billions of years is a long time to try various and sundry things. Although it probably didn't happen this way (likely there were multiple attempts at 'life'), it just takes once....
Life finds a way.
Even rocket scientists have managers. And managers have VPs and VPs have to talk to the CEO about shareholder value.
As always, shit rolls down hill.
You don't need a giant dish. You see those Iridium handsets? That's all that you need. The newer ones fit in a cargo pocket.
HDD prices are high? Not from any sort of historical perspective. ALL the storage solutions these days are cheap, cheap, cheap!
Bring it on! Toss another SSD onto the cart!

Reminds me of a 3Com Audry another product that had marginal appeal and bad timing.
In a lot of ways, Jobs was lucky with the iPad but he was also way smart in getting the iPhone out the door and accepted. No one, and I mean no one, had managed to get tablets to be anything but a niche item before the iPad. And people tried.
Oh just post it on Slashdot. We'll do the rest.
The trouble with a lot of self-made men is that they worship their creator.
