It's either you or the raccoons.

Really? The world would be the same if Microsoft never existed or better off?

No doubt IBM would have led innovation if not kneecapped by M$.

Schlitz tastes (a lot) better if you are on boat.

It's cheaper for your made-up model. I can make up one where it is more expensive.

I am here to help

I imagine some people like being soldiers.

I would make a lousy cheetah

There goes the neighborhood.

Seems like if you ordered the things that needed funding, OS/2 would be near the bottom of the list.

Maybe Gates could cough up something, just for the irony.

The IG report wasn't on Russian collusion, it was on the Clinton email investigation.

The IG will also be looking at abuse of the FISA process: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/department-of-justice-inspector...

Hopefully the government had a good reason for spying on Carter Page

I thought it was spelled Faux News.

My definition of the media is pretty expansive. If Trump is in so much trouble, I would think the Washington Post or New York Times would lead with it. Maybe they buried the trouble in the Style section.

I was being sarcastic.

That is why I read Hacker News. The media will try cover up and protect Trump no matter what. Good thing commenters here can scoop the media and expose his lies.

It would be an interesting experiment to see what would happen if the cut the US military budget dramatically. I am of the opinion that it would decrease the world stability and millions of people would die. But YMMV.

I was being sarcastic. The media, IMO, has learned little. They are useful idiots.

Good thing that the media and their multiple layers of fact-checkers and editors didn't fall for the Russian's evil plan. They have learned a lot since the 30's and the Cold War.

Or Mike Munger

Not sure if that is the case. If you create IP, is the Chinese government going to defend your ownership of it? I would think smart people and people who invest in smart people are going to create things in systems where you are rewarded for it.

Yeah, Iran probably (but who can say for sure) funds terrorism with that whole Death to America thing. And gay marriage was only legal in the US in 2013 or whenever. So not much difference between that and hanging people. Putting it that way, I can see your bafflement.

I am not surprised to hear HBO take on Iran. Skateboards, pretty damning stuff.

But it's not just skateboards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_and_state-sponsored_terro...

For some reason, you didn't mention all of the terrorist activities Iran engages in. Or hundreds of US soldiers killed by Iran. Learning about them might reduce your level of bafflement.

Seems like a lot of work to maintain a presence in the North Korean and Iranian market. What if they do all of the rebranding and the US government says, "Sorry its the same company".

So the company adjusts the price it is willing to pay to the Kenyan and Texan employee and then they get hired. This happens all the time, paying the market price.

It happens all the time.

Another article about LeBron James and the Raptors?

I don't see it that way, he found a path that works for him. The path might not be right for everyone, but there might be pieces that everyone could use.

I think "American Dream" is a micro-aggression now

We should solve this problem by importing more people from developing nations. They can help teach the natives how to thrive in this kind of environment.

Done

Is that what the educational system does? Maybe during the Cold War. Now, the goal of the educational isn't to install pride in America, the goal is to divide America into camps.
