Solaris is my favorite, and a very, very close second is 2001.

The Pet Rock, Nickleback, Windows, and Michael Bay were also all successful, yet all still suck (Windows has gotten mildly better).

I remember my friend and I getting really high and loading the Simpsons mod. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

I love Elvis Costello!

I'm really tired of these gamergate bullies threatening violence every time someone suggests that there are other markets and demographics for which games can be marketed. I'm really confused on why people are the least bit upset. Bringing games to a wider audience seems like a good thing for the game industry and gamer culture.

Like CEOs of pharma companies or their loved ones don't get diseases for which they wish they had a cure. My takeaway from this article is be pragmatic and stop praying for a miracle and start investing in treatment as well as a cure.

Why are they talking about it?

Thirded. I just bought a EeePC 901A with the dinky 4GB SSHD and I couldn't be happier. I'm using the Base version. I still have a little over 25% free space after a few multimedia tools and OpenOffice installed. Runs with my Verizon USB EVDO connection, too.

When businesses are so stupid to the point that it becomes a threat to a nation's survivability, then yes you should tamper with them.

If you are in constant search for cheaper and cheaper labor, then you eventually end up with unemployment domestically, and wages so low internationally to the point that no one can afford to buy your product.

Supply and demand. Hire people and give them a livable wage and you create a larger demand. Keep farming out labor as cheap as you can get it, and you reap what you sow. Kind of like what's happening now.

It's not hard, really. Just too bad the people who aren't in the position to make decisions are the only ones who get it.

FTFY

Oh.. and you might want to look under the "provide for the general welfare..." part. That has been used historically as the basis for providing roads and other public services.

So are you suggesting that a child be punished and deprived education because his parents never bothered to teach them manners? I'm guessing is that your attitude is "Born poor? too bad. Should have been born to wealthier parents. Tough luck kid." That's really nice. I'd hate to be your neighbor.

Then why not just eliminate the poor, if they are so bad?

What determines "bad" students?

So if you can't afford it, you don't get an education? That sucks.
