Perhaps people who rely upon centralised political power to protect them from competition in the supply of their chosen labour services should seek to differentiate themselves by d…

There used to be. As of Mavericks, there is no way to customise the look or feel of the default 3D dock style.

Wow, I can't understand it, why hasn't anyone informed all these corporations that they are wasting so much money paying people to do nothing? Why hasn't anyone at these companies …

Another batch of this idiocy. Great.

Sorry, didn't you hear? Internet discussions about economic inequality are logic-free zones. Please keep your clear reasoning and pragmatic realism to yourself.

Great idea, but this is too limited IMO. Such a law would only protect those who sell their labour under traditional wage contracts. However there are countless other people who se…

I understand the nostalgia, but I don't understand the melancholy. Why should you feel sad for a company that was so inept? We should be celebrating the fact that a company that fa…

This is pretty much the anti-Soylent. Nice to see thinking on efficiency gains happening at both ends of the spectrum.

Nope, it's promoted as being a full diet replacement if you want it to be.

All food is "experimental" in this sense. Does anybody know exactly what is in every single food item they buy? How each item has been prepared, what substances have been applied t…

Right. Unlikely that anything was done carelessly, and in the end, Ballmer had to go, even if he was a great CEO - only a new, hip CEO could get people's attention and project a ne…

Everyone in Britain hates each other.

In the end, both cultures (Western and East Asian) have their own deficits, their own things worth learning from each other. Both cultures are missing pieces of the same puzzle. Th…

Great, I look forward to the day when you read The Gulag Archipelago and a first-year economics textbook and realise that you're talking out your ass. Maybe throw in some Hayek whi…

It's been time for a while, unfortunately.

Sorry, you must have misread Belleruches' post. He asked for examples where this has worked. Last I heard the UK was a depressed shithole with a stagnant economy. Hardly a glorious…

Liberty means allowing people to make their own decisions about how they live and use their resources, as long as they're not infringing on the liberty of others. It's a universal …

Since when did "liberal" mean someone who supports coercive redistribution by states? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

Thanks for being one of the least insane and retarded people on this comment thread.

What?!? Suggesting people use their own money to support their own beliefs, rather than expecting the rest of society to pay up while they make no sacrifice?? Heretic!!

Yeah, and early vertebrate species in the Cambrian just swam around singing happy songs and smooching anemones all day while they enjoyed a universe free of those horrible constrai…

Blisterpeanutes: "People who support blind charity should put their money where their mouth if they think it's such a great idea." Yourapostasy: "Hey great idea, even better why do…

If people can improve their economic performance so much with just a small cash grant then, why haven't businesses jumped in on this apparently incredible opportunity? Seems like a…
