I took the bus from my house to college from time to time. It literally went from a block from my house straight to the college. It was still a pain in the ass.

"proper safeguards" == cuts into profits.
A fatal flaw with nuclear power, too.

honestly, what do you expect of a 100EUR / week hotel room?

Surely the enter the EU there are certain prerequisites that need to be met. Such as :
1. retirement age properly in line with demographics
2. transparent and mostly non-corrupt government
3. mostly fair and enforced tax system
4. reasonable spending on military

Seriously price per gb isn't a barrier. They could sell the 120GBs for a dollar, it would just be money losing and stupid. But, it would smash the "barrier". When there ain't nothin' in your way, that ain't a barrier.

The Japanese figured out all the algorithm you need to drive in Boston way back in the 60's.

no no no no No NO NO!

They got the headline wrong, should read : ROBOT ATTACKS PROSTATE of MAN TRAPPED in MRI with NEEDLES

I'm sure the younger generation will accept this as a beneficial advancement and not some of the scariest parts of the major motion picture "Prometheus".

IT'S HAPPENING!

We'd all be safe from this calamity if the traitor John Snowden hadn't sold our country's secrets to the Soviets.

Yo dog, I heard you like backdoors. So I backdoored your backdoor so you can get p0wned while you p0wn!

As the Bataman said, "the world only makes sense when we force it to".
That's why we all morally obligated to track down evildoers and punch them in the balls. I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson wrote that, somewhere.

Yes, but you claiming that it must be cyclical to be truly organic... well, "No true Scotsman..." seems to apply.

You are co-opting the term organic to mean something extra.

Reddit was started as an experiment in free speech.

Wait, what?

I recall Alex coming on Slashdot a lot to promote Reddit when he first launched it. "An experiment in free speech" was not anything I recall being discussed. I also remember him posting on Slashdot while still developing reddit.

What I recall, is promotion of a general interest platform that was more open than Slashdot (unlimited moderations for all!) and less susceptible to vote brigading than Digg.

It was while ago, so I may be a bit foggy on the specifics.

I think what the Libertarians fail to realize is that farmers, as a general rule, are not smart enough to diversify or maintain course.

First, I think that's a ridiculous assertion. Smart farmers don't diversify because the taxpayers bear the risk of their crop failure, or of crashing prices; they have insufficient incentive to diversify.

Second, if we had a true free market, dumb farmers would go out of business and we would be left with smart farmers allocating resources efficiently. Isn't that the point of economic libertarianism?

Note: I am far from libertarian.

What do you mean by cyclical? Do you mean the livestock/fertilizer/crop/fodder cycle? Do you mean crop rotation? Or something else entirely?

Just curious, since I'm not aware of either cyclical production or crop rotation being a requirement for organic farming (although both are considered best practices).

ixnay on the pluterday talk, you'll get the 1%'s whining about class warfare again.
