Comment Foxtrot16Because I run old machines, I recently tested windows 7 and linux. I found out linux to be superior to both windows and mac OS, faster lighter, easier to use, easier to update. always concerned with the wills of the user, less vulnerable to viruses, trojans etc. It does have of course some bad sides, especially when it comes to specialist software that are famous either for windows or macs, but for my usage of PCs, It's like i discovered heaven on earth of the OS world

Comment Foxtrot16
I too understand that the experiment is not yet finished or failed. Just people used to have always a supervisor or a boss on the one hand don't know how to deal with it and people who have used to be supervisors or bosses on the other hand don't want to deal with it.

The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment
But despite knowing that Bitcoin could fail all along, the now inescapable conclusion that it has failed still saddens me greatly. The fundamentals are broken and whatever happens to the price in the short term, the long term trend should probably be downwards. I will no longer be taking part in Bitcoin development and have sold all my coins.

If elected officials were sincere about wanting to help the poor, they would ban lotteries
Sure, it’s easy to look at it as a bit of harmless fun, but it really isn’t. For one thing, the lure of a giant jackpot leads people in low-income levels, struggling to make ends meet, to spend dollars they can’t afford for a chance of reversing their fortunes. A 2010 study showed that people with annual household incomes of below $13,000 spend an average of $645 a year on lottery tickets, about 9 percent of their take-home pay.

Defense Industry Revenue Forecast Gushes Over Global Turmoil
"The resurgence of global security threats" promises a lucrative "rebound" in defence spending, according to a new report by Deloitte. Total spending of top 25 nations in 2014 was $1,747 billions. US spent $609,9 billions; China follows with 216,4; Russia with $84,5 billions.

How the “sharing economy” has turned San Francisco into a dystopia for the working class
Some of them are colour-coded: Workers in orange T-shirts are with Caviar, a food delivery app; those in green represent Instacart, an app for delivering groceries. The blue jackets riding Razor scooters are with Luxe—if you’re still driving yourself around this city, these app workers will park your car.

unfortunately it's not only about weapons. It's also about the so called "reconstruction". Since 9/11 the security industry has had its best years (including safeguarding, policing, private prisons etc, apart from pure weapon making) and after the wars private companies flood in to "reconstruct" the country or in other words to take control of any wealth making source, while the locals are left with trauma, poverty and unemployment.

The Arms Companies That Make the Most From the World’s Wars
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has published its list of the world’s top 100 arms manufacturers. Overall, the 100 largest defence contractors totalled $401 billion in sales 2014, though the actual number is probably even higher, because the list excludes Chinese companies “due to the lack of data.”
