and if it can solve a problem without discomfort and struggle why the hell not? Christ, it wasn't long ago that we expected the plague as divine retribution ya know...

and cares about 16% better performance from Bioshock Infinite? I've got a GTX 660 in a 6 year old Athlon XP 6000 and it kicks that game in the fanny.

What I want is stable drivers. I bought an nVidia because I still don't trust AMD after my last experience (admittedly from 3 years ago).

that there are several Journals doing pay for play. In that context the summary is fine.

States that Edna has a Masters from Bryn Mawr College, so I'd say she's more than qualified to get published. Now don't you feel silly?

You just need to buy 20 of them (give or take).

It's really only a matter of time. They'll be some delays (mostly with UPS/FedEx trying to prevent it until their ready with their own drone fleets). But it's coming.

The bigger concern is what are we doing to do with all the people this puts out of work. This will basically make retail and delivery jobs obsolete. That's several million people suddenly without work and with no prospects for getting work. I guess there's always tent cities...

It's just something you do. I'm sure my coworkers complain about how incompetent I am. We magnify other's faults and lessen our own.

I don't recall American Cars rattling or coming apart. I recall the parts wearing out around 100,000 miles and being nearly impossible to fix. The missing welds you're describing would have been noticeable during a test drive. You're teacher's full of it.

and continue to get made well in Germany with Union Labor. Also, I'm fed up with the guys putting parts on at the assembly line getting blamed for for shitty American Cars. They just tightened the bolts people. Yes, it's hard, mind numbing work; but at the end of the day it was management going to engineering to say "Make a car _this_ cheap that we can sell for _this_ much that created shitty American Cars. Engineers just do what they're told, and Management wasn't unionized.

how can they really be worth that? Isn't each medallion worth 1 taxi cab? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how 1 taxi cab can bring in enough money to justify that kind of value.

that it's _Twin_ Ion Engines.

I'm not saying it looks bad, I'm just saying it looks like what talented college students were doing for their end of year projects...

Nellie keeps doing her job and the Apprentice gets their work. If the Apprentice can't keep up you fire them for incompetence and suddenly they have $20k in tuition bills for what they've used so far (gotta make sure if they get lazy they pay it all back, after all we can't give stuff away for free). Suddenly the dynamics change. The Student will work 60, 70, 80 hours a week because if he doesn't perform they're on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars plus no degree. It's kinda like what they do with H1-Bs. It puts the employer in a tremendous position of power which history tells us they'll abuse.

You know, you can write code while you're in college even if you're not working for a company. I did it all the time. It's not like code is regulated as a dangerous isotope or something...

With all due respect the browser has been kinda going to heck lately. Lots of performance and stability issues. I guess there's the phone, but it's not even popular enough to call it a flop. It's a complete non-starter. Where's the money going?

It's not often an Anonymous Coward says something worth mod points. Figures I don't have any this week...
