Yea I dunno. The dollar is pretty weak at the moment. 1.5 billion is a lot of money to be spending in a rescession... unless you are getting a very good deal.
I think the numbers were adjusted for the rate of inflation, but then again, I can't find the report. That said, in the developing world, highly industrial products suffer from inflation, but agriculture tends not to. My family is from Sri Lanka, and I see how cheap food is there (15 bucks a week for a family of 5), even though a (nice and new) TV is out of most people's budget.
I can't quite find that stats, but I saw a really interesting chart that graphed population vs income. The number of people who are making under $1 a day has halved since the 80s.
I suspect if you were do it for yourself, it wouldn't be an issue. When you try to do it for 100 million people who are not you is when it becomes an issue.

The average person cares after they've had their bank account emptied 3 times despite their best efforts to fix it.
No it just pretends it does, so that you'll pay attention.

Yes, let's talk about helium while inhaling helium. The ultimate in excess living.

Recently I found out what the acronym Oracle stood for: One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison.

Looks like a bitchin turning radius.
It seems like the current way to be hip in developer circles is to make fun of Perl.
Yea seriously. This is taking away from solid time we could spend bashing COBOL.
Can Duke Nukem Forever be far behind?
This actually pushes out their launch date as they have to update all their Perl 5 code.

Actually, the Trillian pluggin will pull up the last 10 or so things that have happened, including posts and comments, in addition to chat.

Unfortunately part of the Terms of Service of the Facebook API prevents storage of data received through the API on a remote source.

And everyone else who is watching just feels nauseous.
Woosh.
