Right.

There's a ton of execs that are, in fact, out to screw everyone including the company they work for, if the end result is their own personal benefit. Honestly it's one of the reasons our economy has kinda gone to poop.

Hell, look at the stock market. You think the guys trading stocks are doing anything BUT trying to make money for themselves? Hell no. That's their one motivation, and consequences be damned -- if they make money, it means the system works and the system is good.

Assuming that belief in "luck" is, in fact, a sane belief.

PROTIP: It's a half-step above consulting chicken entrails.

Actually.... no.

That RC car, if produces in America, would still be 25 bucks.
Yeah, you heard that right.

When has anything ever decreased in price by moving production to China? Don't be silly. Moving production to China doesn't lower prices, it increases profits.

He's not in China, either. I'd not be shocked if this guy was the same troll posting for the past several months an endless string of posts pointing out how novel and better everything in "Asia" is than in the West. Never any specific nation, simply "Asia", and always the dumbest drivel you could possibly imagine "only Asia has restaurants! only Asia invites friends over!".. It's less entertaining and humorous than the cleanmypc spam

Herpaderp, because Americans never go out with their friends. Ever. The concept is entirely foreign to us. ONLY ASIANS DO THIS! I know this is true, because some pretentious dbag posted it on slashdot!

No, no that's not what this is about at all.

The majority of the web is accessible on mobile devices already, without dedicated mobile sites being required. As time passes, mobile devices will become more capable, and soon there will be no need for a specialized mobile site -- there will be ONE standard, period. That's how it SHOULD BE, anyway.

Now, some companies and sites may currently wish to optimize a version for mobile viewing -- that's a business decision, a short-term solution. Government should be looking more long-term. 5, 10 years from now, our phones will be quite able to display any and all web content no differently than today's home computers.

This would be a large expenditure of money for a small niche of society that will only be relevant for a short period of time..
it's feel-goody everyday-typical politicking. that's all.

Not to say it was, but it could have been an insulin pump or colonoscopy bag

I mentioned above that I'm 6'2 -- that's relevant again here.

No way in hell any airline would do anything like that. Most flights I take I have to bow my head to walk down the center aisle.
Or maybe I should rephrase -- maybe an airline would do something like that, but they'd be shutting out a sizable portion of the population. Already the things are designed with short and slim people in mind. Once you start standing-room only or lying-room only, you'd wind up with crap that's designed to maximize numbers and minimize space and that results in.. shit too small for me to fit in.
It's bad enough that I have negative leg room on planes. Not no leg room, but physically impossible for me to sit with my knees facing forward. And I have short legs for my height.

Shit's terrible.

HYUK HYUK HYUK

gosh you're funny!

except I'm 6'2 (that's 1.9m for you people who like measurements that are better in a lab but not as useful for human measurements).
I'm 180lb.

That's hardly overweight, or oversized. Hell, I'm built *thin*. And don't think I don't get pissed at idiot engineers who design things for the "average" person -- they forget that short people can pretty simply adjust things to fit things larger than they are but large people can't adjust things to fit. The last time I was in a Mazda, the steering wheel bit into my thighs, with the seat the whole way back and the wheel inclined as high as possible.

But hey, keep making jokes about fat Americans when the thing in question is being built for the "average" person of 5'7, 150lb.

If we'd actually build some modern reactors, we'd not really need Yucca, honestly. Most that waste can be burnt up for more energy. Eventually, sure, Yucca.. but a much lesser quantity would be stored there. Enough that it'd really not be an issue for decades whether or not we shove it in there or not.
