That is very impressive. [little tough to read though] Thank you.

No, god damn it, that was not my intention, [my iq is not 75]. Nor I am a liberal or USA-conservative [I'd say I am left wing non-religious traditionalist; think a person who'd like living in DDR] - I despise both of these extremist ideologies. My intention was to crack a joke, but did not expect that people take everything as a face value and have very dorky thinking process; I apologize..

apparently, people have very fragile sense of humor here, on yc.

That is a joke, for someone who did not get it.

Of course it should have been done long time ago. Otherwise onlines have unfair advantage.

Econ 101? So would it mean that zero taxes bring same revenue as 10%?

No it will never be a major player. It is neither necessary nor enough to have cheap POS to run small business.

I would pass a description, how to make a Gutenberg Press. Everything else will come up afterwards.

It is so odd...

The problem is that american adults are really not.

Nobody cares nowadays :(((

you get what you pay for.

Well, I tell you what: wherever you here English language, be ready that working people are going to be treated more or less like dirt, banking system is going to be a too big of a sector of the economy and many other problems. That is cultural, it is not easily fixable. US was and is culturally English civilization, and this is like a death sentence.

C# is good for you resume. It is important nowadays, a lot.

Dunno, OS X is always FreeBSD for me.

Reliability is not the only measure of quality. I, for example, like Compaq and HP laptops, even though they are not most reliable.

It might be always positive like news in DPRK, but seriously, it does not matter positive or negative - as soon as they do not touch real issues (healthcare, fraud in courts etc.)

Cloud = !Privacy.

...whatever local radio plays.

Most deeply passionate are people in manic phase of bipolar disorder (2.6% of USA population).

No. Otherwise open source would not exist.

... because it is hard to compete with strongly typed, optimized in runtime code.

Interesting to know how fruitful these measures are. They are not cheap, but if they do not bring justifiable change in security - that is another way to distract people from real problems.

yes, but after that there is one more upgrade... No TV at all.

Funny, Internet was born in USA and here it has began to die. But US is not the only country with Internet... Hopefully EU will keep itself neutral.

Next superpower is not China IMHO, but Germany-centered smaller EU. Or, if for example if Russia truly change, that will be a real force as well.

USA=USA[:-1]+'SR'

We are living in surprising times, ladies and gentlemen... One, relatively obscure person, can scare whole world [for good].

Order of a finite field very well may be 2^n, contrary to what the article says.
