However, for the government, the site should be damn near perfect.

Wow... really? You expect that when the government is involved, things should be perfect? Prepare yourself for disappointment, my friend.

... that an innovative business like Mozilla needs to live in fear of the government and nervously await its blessing.

The creative development team is the hub for the company's history. They have two full-time lore historians, keepers of blizzard's past. They are the liaisons with the novelists, work to create shared art resources, act as an archive for every piece of art that's been created for Blizzard Entertainment, and currently maintain 100,000 art assets.

I wonder what those two guys are like. I'm pretty sure they must be nerds of EPIC proportions. And I don't mean that in a mean way, I'm just sayin....

...Clippy the Action Figure!

....That's my point. If the best they can do is say that it is "drinkable", then they are in bad shape.
And as far as people's taste in beer outside the US goes, it is not generally better (except for beer capitals like Germany, Belgium, England, Ireland, etc).
In fact it used to crack me up when I lived in Italy how many euro-yuppies would pay 4-5 euros for a bottle of Bud (yes, American Bud). It was like Corona is here in the USA: the overpriced favorite of those who have no taste in beer.

I love Budweiser's current ad campaign. They are just going with honesty: "Drinkability". Hey, it's drinkable!

A decision I would support would be if the court fully backed Verizon's claim...
BUT
made them get rid of the obnoxious guy with the thick rimmed glasses. I swear I have to change the channel when I see those ads.

They used the password "GOD".

From TFA:

Gogoana placed the cost of the project, excluding labor, at around $200,000, but much of the materials were donated and the Electric Vehicle Team isn't paid. The batteries alone hold a price tag of about $80,000, but Gogoana said that as more batteries and cars are produced, cost should be driven down.

Don't get me wrong, this is all cool stuff. One day relatively soon, I bet these things will be the norm.

But we need to stop with the hyperbolic comparisons to current cars. Apples and oranges. Any comparisons should be made to other types of experimental work along these lines.

He goes into why he spent his own money to make a series of classic physics lectures available free on the Web

Well, one reason I can say for sure is that he happens to have billions of dollars in his bank account. So the cost of doing this is amounts to a rounding error in his checking account. Let's not ascribe too much a sense of moral duty to him for doing this.

When people sing the praises of the ultra-wealthy who donate a bit of money to this or that, it makes me annoyed a little bit. On the one hand, yes, it is good for them to give money to good causes. But on the other hand, they usually do not donate anything close to being something that they would actually feel. Some do, but most don't.

These things are a great way to make a beautiful landscape hideous. And the amount of power generated considering the acreage needed is ridiculous.

Here's a crazy idea: how about nuclear power? Oh, that's right, the word "nuclear" is too super-scary for the science-based environmentalists. Never mind that they actually are better for the environment than anything else.

Now you just need to create a video game that purchases and plays its own content and it seems like you might have quite a booming business on your hands.

This is nonsense. Web based applications are certainly only going to become more common... but your implication that soon everything will be over the web is silly. The right tool for the right job my friend.

Hey, Hollywood:
I'll sell you the right to PONG for $2.5 million.

That is sure to be a box-office hit too.

Because many of the most powerful environmental lobbies are just a bunch of fanatics who throw around the word "science" even though their hatred of nuclear power is more of a religion.
