Companies using GPLed software also don't have to share more than they're comfortable with sharing, or they would not be doing it. They are just comfortable with a bit more than other companies.

Covering up the Chernobyl mess? What makes you think covering up Fukushima has cost a lot? I mean, yeah the nuclear industry has a lot of free PR drones in IT for some reason, but still, it's gotta be pretty costly to run the kind of shit they did.

The reason we're still using the old plants is because even wind power is cheaper per watt hour than a modern nuclear plant.

Finland is building one at the moment. At $4.1 billion it's now 50% over budget.

Just a nitpick: Erlang is not an academic language, it's designed in the industry, for industrial use.
Unionize.
Matching the salary of the competitor is pretty easy when the competitor has an agreement with you not to offer a higher salary for your employees.
Why are everyone in here so surprised at Google being in on this? Are tech people really that blinded by their fanboyism?

Someone writes music and sells it to someone who wants to play it.

Or maybe someone wants to make a film, so she hires a music writer for the score.

I saw an artist on TV the other day that said she throws away any song that takes more than 30 minutes to write. Because her mood and thoughts will change if she spends too much time writing the song.

Here in Sweden a lot of contracts are standardized. Extremely so in the construction industry.

We have a standard contract called "Avtal 90" (lit. Contract 90), that a lot of industries use.

Isn't it the same at Google? But there they do their regular work in nights and weekends instead.

That's just what I've gathered from reading articles about Google workers. Maybe I'm wrong and they really do work no more than 40 hours per week, including the 20%. But that is not the impression I've gotten from reading.

Point 3. I don't know who these cool people are that you're talking about, "liberals" I assume. I find it hard to believe they will call you heartless if you socialize your health care to make it cheaper and available for all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Total_health_expenditure_p...

Or the user experience is superior as in you bought a car that just works and you don't have to service. As opposed to, say, a kit-car that you can build yourself if you like cars that much, and you have much better control over.
