Money is finite. Wealth is not. Wealth != Money.

Wealth creation is not zero sum.

Whoever it was who told you life was fair was lying.

What's magic about a command line that gives you super powers, anyway? Maybe it's just what you're used to?

Anyhow, Windows has a command line interface. What's the problem?

Why do you need to configure it using the command line only?

That sounds to me like showing someone a car with an automatic transmission, then having them ask "Nice. But how do you shift from third to fourth?"

That's a much better idea. Plus, all intelligent races call their planet something that translates literally to "dirt" anyhow.

I'm all for anything that involves asteroids and nuclear weapons.

Why is it within the government's power to say "you can't make money unless you pay for a license to make money first"? Taxes are one thing--you pay a portion of what you make. Business license fees are just a naked cash grab, and you have to pay them whether you make a dime of income or not on your "business".

All licensing fees like this do is help the big guy and punish the little guy. Erecting barriers to entry makes it so the little guy can't get into the market and compete with the established players. That just encourage the established players to sit on their hands and stop innovating or pleasing their customers, because hey--nobody is going to come along and take their market share away, because the government has helpfully erected barriers to prevent that.

That was SO not one of the better X-Files episodes. Although Dr. Bambi was hot.

Helium is lighter than all the other gasses in our atmosphere. So it floats to the top and is eventually lost. The Earth isn't big enough to gravitationally keep any atmospheric helium, so it all eventually disappears into space.

I don't think he even played Civ IV. He crows about how units have hit points in Civ V. Civ IV had unit hit points too.

I figure if you have something to say, then say it. Just denying what the other guy is saying isn't very useful. Might as well debate a creationist.

How did this get moderated "informative"?

Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.

And it's not informative, either.

Actually, it has more to do with trying to get you into the movie theater. Theaters are desperate for a gimmick that they can market that will get people in the door.

How was the Apache attack video edited?

So the government essentially owns all corporations?

How long do you suppose before this gets implemented for individuals? Move to Canada, and we take all your shit before you go. Or, hey, move from New Jersey to New York, and New Jersey takes all your shit at the border.

Great plan.
