Moore's law has quietly expired, too. But the pace of tech continues apace. Disk drives have become orders of magnitude larger for instance. No I think the cause for the dramatic decline in job creation lies elsewhere.

IT due to Moore's law has been a disruptive technology. New software does tend to put people out of work, but the resulting productivity gains ultimately drove the economy to produce more jobs. Well at least in the mid to late nineties this happened. Some other effect seems to have offset these gain...

By then the machines will have obsoleted man, and we'll no longer be necessary.

May I add as well that there are a number of liberal sites devoted exclusively to media reform and the debunking of shoddy, biased reportage by the corporate media. I am not aware of anything like an equivalent effort by conservatives. While absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, it is perh...

Murdoch's outlets, some of them at least, are conservative, or so I've argued. Is it then your assertion that an outlet cannot have a bias different from that of it's owner? Again, as somebody cited, Murdoch has said at times that he's "embarrassed" by Fox sometimes. I mean, my other cite clearly s...

I withdraw my previous apology. The sky is green, grass is red, Murdoch is liberal.

" From articles i've read, it is believed that Rupert Murdoch is a liberal,"

This was in the post immediately prior to mine, from a raving dave. It's complete nonsense, unworthy of further comment.
