Comment For us normal folk... (Score 1) 18

...open hardware could prevent us from paying exorbiant prices for decent performance and allow us to get the full value out of the hardware we invest in. I had to allow scripts from "academia-assests.com" to view the text of the first link if anyone else runs into the same blank page I did when I clicked on it.

Comment It is only logical... (Score 1) 224

...that banks are 100% liable in cases such as this. It is up to them to verify that any access to the accounts that they hold are made by the legitimate account holders. Seriously, think of what the world would be like if any yahoo could write a check against any account without them veryifying the authenticity of the signature.

Comment Education? (Score 2) 339

Is it the lack of education that keeps the poor taking from each other rather than taking from the rich? I'm sure mine is not the only city that has "Boardwalk" located close enough to "Baltic" that the poor without much effort could take what they want from the rich. Yet still, the poor continue to rob from the poor.

Comment Free Markets (Score 1) 255

It is free markets that keeps the US so highly rated among the developed nations in providing internet service to its citizens and, as everyone knows, the US is all about providing infrastructure that encourages competition. Imagine, if you will, how bad it would be if a single corporation were allowed to control access to all the roads in a nation! That corporation could dictate rates and refuse service to any and all who refuse to meet their price. Thankfully the majority in the US have come to the understanding that such travesties must be regulated against.
