Opera did resolve the issue with every new release, but Google still keeps changing their code, so that users of Opera are not allowed to select and copy text, when they are using gMail. The first few times, it was suspicious, but now it is too obvious that Google is actively developing products that can not be used outside of the Google Chrome."

Comment: Talking Snake (Score 1) 1121
The story has devil in form of the talking snake. A lot of talking animals are also present in cartoons and are purely fake.
If, god was a being that created the humans, then how can devil be a shape-shifting being that can talk in a language of Adam and Eve that did not have their own language to learn in the first place.
Why would god want to teach them the language of gods, if he had prohibited them from eating the wisdom apple, so that they do not learn anything that the gods know. The genesis book contradicted itself in this, god has given knowledge before they even ate the apple and therefore he just behaved like a very spoiled child for throwing them out of the house for learning something new !
If the super intelligent creationist god does behave like a 9 year old child, than the whole story is rather fishy.

Money is a great bubble of hour time.
I have looked at it 6 month after they started, but never believed that the early investors would convince enough people to invest into it. Yes, I do regret that I did not buy, but feel cleaner to stay out of the scam that will bring unequal money-access to the masses of people who never bothered to understand monetary dynamics.

The patent processing fees are probably in the millions per month.
The only reason for patents to exist, is the processing fee that gets paid to bureaucrats. They encourage the companies to file more patents by approving all of the possible ones and rejecting them, if anybody complains later on.
This bureaucratic money making system is beautiful.

The fun thing of this game is that the assumptions of this human were also wrong.
The world-population is not growing as fast as it has been and the numbers of people are going to decline in the future, if the housing is going to continue to be so expensive.

Look at Ecuador for example, they have slow infrastructure and insane mountains everywhere. Drones would connect this relatively small country very well. They have small landing fields everywhere and possible delivery needs of all sorts.
