Because that wouldn't solve anything, long term, even if it were feasible. An /8 is slightly more than what IANA was delegating every month. Reclaiming them would take longer than they'd last.

It's because Bjarne Stroustrup spent 23 years at Bell Labs, and ran the Large-Scale Programming Research Department there.

Bell Labs was the birth-place of Unix, and was always Unix central. Anyone even cursorily familiar with these facts would be a bit surprised to see someone who was so close to such a Unix stronghold for so long running a non-POSIX compatible system for day-to-day use.

ARM 11 isn't a processor, it is an ISA designation

Android OS is not actually an operating system by or for Androids.

Windows 7 wasn't really the idea of some random people in cafes and showers.

Saturns - not actually made on Saturn. Surprising, I know.

The Emotion Engine has never shed a single tear.

Magic Markers have no magical properties.

Chrome has search keywords built in

Unfortunately the bendable screen doesn't solve the non-bendable motherboard, CPU, battery, and case problems..

Yeah, I'm sure Apple's notoriously aggressive legal division is just being nice to Palm /sarcasm

Haha what? $600 a month wouldn't rent you the worst hovel in this city. That's a pretty affordable deal in most cities, let alone Tokyo.

but Blio is the only e-Reader designed with Singularity compatiblity in mind!

Don't let your cyber-mind go unstimulated for kiloseconds when fragile, meat-popsicle designed e-Readers fail to survive the geek-rapture, buy a Blio today!

A well argued rebuttal

In order to cut traditional publishers out of the loop, they need to have a critical mass of Kindle users.

What do you think is going to happen when Amazon announces that they'd be happy to give any author 25% of all sales if they publish direct through Amazon as opposed to the 5% their publishing house gives them? All the traditional publishers will immediately pull their properties off of Amazon to try to kill their new rival (or at least, try not to keep feeding the hand that is strangling them). So Amazon's Kindle readership has to be big enough that the readership stays with them when a huge amount of back-catalogue suddenly stops being available for purchase, big enough that authors will leave behind editors they have developed working relationships with over decades to have access to.

Amazon isn't there yet.

Apparently Damon Lindelof (Lost co-creator, Star Trek Producer) has been pimping links to the review and is quite taken with it.

You have got to be kidding. Have you taken a look at the shape of the education and employment markets today? Employers are demanding college educations for jobs that didn't require degrees back when you graduated; pretty much anything more than washing dishes these days requires at least a Bachelors. And the cost of those degrees has skyrocketed; the average college student here graduates with about $20,000 in loans that come due in 6 months at near-usurious interest rates.

Those darn "millennials" on your lawn need to worry about the money, because the experience of fetching coffee for Bob the 20 veteran incompetent VB coder doesn't pay for shelter, food, and loan payments every month.

Kids these days don't have the luxuries of a dirt cheap education and not worrying about the pay when they graduate.

So my employer is only entitled to any code I ever happen to churn out, my time or theirs? It's ok because they don't want my photography project?

What a dumbshit opinion from an otherwise reasonable personality.

You cannot argue with idiocy, but that doesn't mean its anything other than idiocy.
