And unfortunately, I am one of them. I have to pay almost half of what I make to various governmental overlords, which it says so by law. But if I'd really want to make money, I shouldn't work harder or get smarter, I just need to steal from the government.

...to live beyond that limit? Cryogenic freezing, I guess. But seriously, the problem is not the ability, but purpose. It's one thing to be able to survive into 100+, and completely another to enjoy your time on this planet. If you survive for 150 years, but enjoy the first 50 and suffer for the next 100, that sounds more like a Doom episode: Hell on Earth. All people are measuring when it comes to age is heart beating. But what they should be focusing on are different questions. Like: "do you enjoy getting up in the morning?" "how fast can you read?" "and write?" "do you hear me well enough?" "can you describe me what you see outside the window?" Can people over 80 on this forum add to this discussion, if they are interested to live another 34 years, until the "current limit" of 114?

Well, at least kids are not going to do drugs after school. And it'll give them common intellect-based goal, creating communities of capable people, which in turn can spur interesting startups and just maybe even the next Google. It's just so much better to invest in people, than to buy overprised pieces of outdated warfare machinery. Manhattan project also sounded pretty evil, but it turned out to be pretty good.

From the article: "We've been over a hundred of these and think they all suck" They forgot to mention that Java sucks just as well.

By spending over 2 billion dollars?
Would you buy a local bakery for a million if you knew that they will make 10 grand in the next year?

Also, probably the programmers/graphic designers, and all the people who matter in take two will fork it, and start their own Take Three. They matter, not the name.
