I've heard that becoming a medical doctor is easy.

When did data analysis become science? Science is about testing hypothesis with controlled experiments. Where's the control?

I use Yahoo as an RSS reader. It works just fine for that. For search I use Google. It works just fine for that. For email I use Gmail. It works just fine for that. I use hotmail as a spam catcher. It works just fine for that. I use Facebook for wasting time. It works just fine for that. Why change when stuff works fine? What's better? Being cool and using the latest tools or being productive using what works for you?

there is a good solution. Don't tax corporate incomes. If you can't really do it anyway, then you are just going to be constantly frustrated. Instead, change the taxes to allow companies to do what's right.

Yes it is. It is based upon the idea that government can make things better.

Abstinence, combined with existing anti-retroviral therapies might actually extinguish HIV from the face of the earth in only a few decades, if used widely.

I think "society" already has access at the public library, which is accessible by public transportation.

Because people can't take care of themselves, right? I am so tired about hearing how bad capitalism is. If you don't want to pay, don't. I agree that there should be competition, but infrastructure is expensive. If you don't think so, then convince some VC's that you can do it better.

Porn will be throttled back so you have to buy it on PPV from the cable company soon, so don't worry too much. Until then, I agree that the primary use of the internet is to find something to do besides TV and sex.

I am always suspicious when government is the solution. I prefer to keep it in the hands of private companies.

Hiring someone is much better philanthropy than just giving money.

10Mbps was shared bandwidth. If you divide that among 100 users, the effective speed drops quickly. Plus, there are collisions and retries. If a shared Ethernet network had too many users, no one could communicate. It wasn't until switches turned the shared network into a star configuration, that 10Mbps was really achieved.

Check with Solomon on how sexual "freedom" worked out for him. Or ask many of the HIV/AIDS patients. Or pregnant teens. I think you will find that sexual "freedom" doesn't quite work out the way you want.

What Facebook needs for this is to create online personas that limits to which "Friends" information is shared. Parents/grown-ups can be excluded from all the fun stuff. Technology prevails.

Facetime has much better video quality for low-bandwidth connections, and there is no Window's application for it. That would be a better target.
