If you are spending a ton of money on something you'll probably never use, and what's more, of no productive use at all, you might as well cut costs by stealing designs of that from the retards who developed it first and spend the savings on something useful. Seriously, when are we going to evolve from that stage where we are still inventing new ways to throw rocks at each other?

India and Pakistan had nukes and still went to war over Kargil. There is a good, big list of nuclear close calls during cold war. If you think nuke close calls are preferable to World Wars, your brain is totally and completely cooked. And the Sanest Country in History is actually the only one ever to detonate a nuke in anger. Two, actually.
No major states went to war since WW2? I'd say, let the Superpower clowns screw each other until their rear ends bleed, but leave the poor developing countries to develop in peace. We don't want Cuba or Vietnam or Cambodia or Chile or Nicaragua or Palestine squeezed because big and benevolent America can't wave her(?) dong at Russia which had Peacekeeping nukes.
If you can make the case that nukes led to global peace, I can make the case that Nazism rid the world of Colonialism. Please stop glorifying these academic nuts with coverage.

RIM and Microsoft "cute"? Actually I think they were Big until cuties Apple and Google stuffed them. Mozilla won't survive a loss.

A little boy jumps into a fight between two big bully boys and wants to whip both of them. It's all well defeating a monopoly, but a duopoly? Any case studies in that area?

Go the Mozilla way: Make deals with Google so you can build an open web. Don't listen to the voices from the cobwebs that speak a lot but don't deliver a usable product. Freedom is good only if it allows me to swim in it.

See, he was a evil monster who balanced Sovs against America. If you are a morally upright superhero, then you are really an angel or a comic book character. No human can stand up to high levels of moral rectitude and still do things superheroes do. They call the Comedian in Watchmen a superhero. Not to mention Adrian Veidt.

You wanna make a movie about a crusader who lurked in the shadows, a darker, grittier superhero, then make a movie about Lavrenty Beria. Don't make movies about men in silly masks and also expect people not to laugh.

The US's been preparing for this kind of war? Van Riper says it bosh. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/aug/21/usa.julianborger

Palm Pixi had a damn good design, never mind the OS. Woulda brought it if it had lasted long enough to get launched in India.

Why does everything named Apple look so smooth and polished while other tech companies seem to be in a perpetual mess? Apple makes great products, makes great comebacks, settles even lawsuits suavely. Used to admire Google, but they are no longer the style statement they used to be. Oracle is of course, to a tech illiterate hackernews-reading wannabe, a patent troll.

Printing press cost the job of those monks who copied, illuminated and bound manuscripts. Fie on you, Gutenberg.
