Comment preview: Nearly Every time, put one person and his integrity up against a pile of money and they eventually fold. Reddit has grown too big for its britches and has tied down its golden goose to force feed it bran muffins by the Costco load.... ... And are surprised ....

Comment preview: It's from the Jack and the Beanstalk story. If you're not familiar with it (maybe it's not widely known in some countries?), it goes like this: Jack sells his family's only pig for some magic beans, which when planted grow an enormous beanstalk up to the c ....

Comment preview: He gets special treatment it because he is a goose that lays golden eggs. He isn't special but his job makes other people very wealthy and because of that they make sure that if he gets in trouble the courts will be very lenient on him. Look at Hollywood c ....

Comment preview: Not as bad (also only watched Mania 28 and 29 live) but Big Show vs. Rhodes, all revolving around Show having had no big moment at Mania. It was a scripted series of events about achieving a spontaneous moment of greatness. And how did they try and do this ....

Comment preview: "Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit", Prince Darren chanted, in a high-pitched high school girl's voice. The princess looked bewildered from between her chained wrists on the stone wall. "What are you doing?" What Darren was doing was hiding ....

Comment preview: 1) DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU KNOW YET. They will swarm like flies and this kind of money ruins relationships. Sit on this knowledge for a while and let it sink in. 2) Find an investment manager that charges by the hour (ask around for recs) and explain wha ....

Comment preview: Now, this is a *real* strike. Not the kind of strike that you find with public employees. See, if Verizon workers strike for *too long*, then Verizon will suffer significantly. If Verizon suffers significantly enough, its capacity to compensate its worker ....

Comment preview: This is all such a crock of shit. The NFL Owners are so arrogant and so wrong about so many things. They profit off a thriving industry, and the way they act, they think they had something to do with it. They were handed a golden goose and seem to think th ....

Comment preview: To say the Wii U was a sudden failure and that the Wii was a holy grail is just wrong. It's like a 35 year old man who has eaten fast food every day that he used to be an athlete in high school but his metabolism is making him fat now. The Wii sold a lot o ....

Comment preview: Except when they win. The season is beautiful in that way. People are way more upset that Dallas lost it's two star players. The only reason people remember what the Pats did is for hate fuel or if it's a boring media day. This whole scandal will be an ane ....

Comment preview: Not yet, but I instantly went from being optimistic to pessimistic. Their hardware is still the best I've seen, and *currently* has the most developer support behind it. I'm going to bail out if Oculus starts adding, or even requiring Facebook "things" to ....

Comment preview: Interesting that Brandis seems to acknowledge that there is a very strong possibility of "killing the golden goose" here. He argues that meta data is useful today in "every single terrorism / pedophile investigation". So clearly meta data *is* working for ....

Comment preview: Similary story, we had a golden retriever when I was younger. We also had a pond in our backyard that geese liked to visit. Our dog loved chasing the geese and we mostly encouraged her due to the mess geese tend to make in your yard. Well, one time there w ....

Comment preview: >I really appreciate the authors ability to decide that this wasn't for him, and that he wouldn't become another member of this status quo. Thats not quite what happened. He decided to stay and make as much money as possible, and then when the economy d ....

Comment preview: **The institutions must change.** An individual scientist has a career which is based on the "Publish or Perish" mantra, and most of the journals that count for "Publish" are owned by greedy publishers like Elsevier. The scientists can't change "Publish o ....

Comment preview: You are failing to understand the underlying story of the story because your madeup concerns. I agree with you about divorce laws are kind of shitty. Splitting everybodys asset in half without considering who earned, who cheated is stupid. but thats not th ....

Comment preview: No. This is the same line of crap that happened to cable. Get cable tv and watch what you want, with no commercials, since it is subscriber based. Then they started with tiny commercials, and now look at cable tv, as bad or worse than regular. The regular ....

Comment preview: In my line of work (graphic arts) I have seen several jobs disappear: I met a hand lettering artists: you could ask them to draw any fonts at a requested point size strait on a prototype, they were forced out of business in the 70's by dry transfers. Type ....

Comment preview: We've killed the Golden Goose. Our nation's number one employer (Walmart) pays wages that will not support a family, medical, retirement, or any of the things that a typical job in America used to support. We've pegged our labor/production to wages paid ....

Comment preview: 2 Things: 1) I think Hall should be suspended another game. Dontre is a freshman and the more I watch that video the more I wonder if several UM players didn't have trying to get under his skin premeditated. He's a freshman playing in his first rivalry gam ....

Comment preview: You have to remember that Half-Life 3 is possibly the most anticipated game ever. Valve are going to be expected to re-invent the wheel, similar to the breakthroughs Half-Life 2 made with its physics and companion AI compared to similar games at the time. ....

Comment preview: Jonathan Ross's show was indeed popular in the UK but had next to no impact outside of the UK, his shows format was the same as any other late night celebrity talk show so he was easily replaced too. Top Gear is the BBC's single biggest export at 350 milli ....

Comment preview: After the big bubble that WoW created, things finally seem to be settling down in the MMO market. The past decade has been filled with literally hundreds of MMO and hybrid games trying to recreate the spark that popularized WoW, oversaturating the market ....

Comment preview: This is getting fucking ridiculous. "No, we don't our neighborhood to be showcased on a national stage to 150k ppl to help raise it's brand to help spur development. We are perfectly fine with our gangbangers, drug dealers, and crackheads. We are all about ....
