I've been evaluating different secure backup and Sync and sharing options. I've been intrigued by SipderOak and Jungle Disk services. Have you and opinion about how they compare?
Actually, I just looked at newegg and Fujitsu's website. I didn't bother to check ebay. But, now that I know about the used market value, I'll consider it. Thanks.
Everyone agrees that hiring a hitman is illegal. Or that the guy driving the get-away car for a bank robbery is also doing something illegal.
Because it is encoded into law as such.
Copyright violation itself, though illegal, is not seen as something that should be illegal in its current form by a significant number of people (visit youtube or ask Justin Bieber on a radio interview for evidence). So it is reasonable to assume that even more people would oppose creating new law that makes enabling copyright also illegal.
I think you forgot about half of the participants of the buying on Amazon transaction, namely the customers. The purchasers living in Indiana still benefit from local services hence the tax on their transactions. Amazon benefits by having customers (some of which are in Indiana).
Secular atheists are generally on the side of Palestinians, whereas evangelical Christians and Mormons generally take the side of Israel.
I've never seen any data supporting this. As someone who, I assume, many religious people would label as secular atheist, I neither support violent Israelis nor violent Palestinians nor their supporters. I'm also opposed to both Israeli and Palestinian wishes for non-secular government.
Inflation is dependent upon many variables in addition to the levels of money and credit in circulation, e.g., future expectations of inflation and aggregate demand.
The best role of government is to best benefit its citizens largely by defining rights and responsibilities of its citizens and mediating conflicts while minimizing violence to that end.
Gold Standard: What is it that you're against regarding the gold standard?
The gold standard has proven to be worse macroeconomic monetary policy than the targeted inflation rate and employment level by committee dual policy followed since (though I don't agree with the current committee's trade off of lower inflation now at the expense of employment level). See: the great depression and the volatility and inconsistent liquidity and reliability in credit markets and credit intermediaries prior to 1913 as it relates to the gold standard.
quick call to his ex-manager (whom we knew and trusted) gave us the information we needed to make a good, safe decision.
I think I missed your reference to this type of screening before. It strikes me as a good hiring practice. I'm curious, what would you do if none of the applicants had a connection to your company? Or the ones that did had unfavorable, irrelevant or no feedback? In the latter case, I think many people's tendency would be to choose applicant with the connection even though it provided no useful information.
Wow. Your ignorance here is blowing me away. I don't mean that as flamebait or trolling. I'm honestly shocked that you wrote what you did.
Seriously, go try to find proof that 'they' (I'm assuming that you mean the Federal Reserve since you mentioned Greenspan or the Federal government in general) stopped. You will find that the Federal Reserve never reported inflation directly but use data from the BEA and BLS in their research and reports. Neither the BEA nor the BLS has stopped reporting CPE or CPI, respectively.
Based on your claims, I'm guessing you read something about money stock levels as measures of inflation. In reality money measures don't track inflation well. The Fed did stop reporting its M3 measure in 2006 shortly after Bernanke became Chair. The reason given was: "M3 does not appear to convey any additional information about economic activity that is not already embodied in M2 and has not played a role in the monetary policy process for many years."
Inflation rates are measures of relative value across time in a common currency. Exchange rates are relative value of different currencies at the same time. You are clearly conflating the two in your mind.
Not exactly. Joe can currently use unlimited Megacorp funds and personal funds (but why use your own money if you don't have to) to fund PACs that do the campaign work on behalf of Bill and his Campaign organization with no disclosure beyond corporation xyz gave $X (where xyz's ownership is not disclosed).
Joe CEO can only spend X amount on Political Campaigning for Bill. Joe can't use MegaCorp or its subsidiaries to fund campaigns. Joe can't give in total more than X combined to Bill's campaign organization and any PACs that endorse or campaign in favor for Bill. Donations to PACs & campaign organizations must disclose all sources of funds. PACs & campaign organizations can only accept funds from individuals who are all subject to the total combined maximum donation rules explained above. All funds not used in campaign organizations after an election must be donated to the government.
Any candidate receiving more than Y funds in their campaign organization receive some guarantee of Z (possibly $, TV air time, and/or Web server with minimum bandwidth and data transfer guarantees).
Candidates cannot accept total combined compensation above W from individual financial supporters or associated corporations of financial supporters for V years after an election or end of term in elected federal office.
I'm no Obama supporter. He has expanded on the bad that Bush got started. He's OK with ignoring due process for Citizens of the USA (which I think should be extended to all people that the USA's government agencies accuse of a crime). He lent money to insolvent corporations without a penalty rate or equity participation but would not consider lending or granting funds to insolvent or solvent but illiquid individuals during a credit freeze. His staff was informing corporate board members of the about to be announced free money that was going to be handed to them. He gave up until recently on filling the vacant Fed Board position after a little push back initially (when the Fed could have saved many people from extended unemployment) He hasn't pushed for effective regulations on financial leverage and size of financial intermediaries. He hasn't pushed for easier formation of Mutual financial intermediaries. He ignored the unemployment epidemic after the initial stimulus bill. He never publicly entertained a single payer health care system.
But he still seems better suited to run the country than his predecessor or hopeful successors now in Iowa.
You should note that inflation has been historically low over the past 4 years. Also, the USD has gained value relative to other widely circulated currencies since the Global economy turned downward in 2007.

Those things cost over $600. No thanks.

The very act of providing copyrighted material for download without permission from the copyright holders is prima facie copyright violation
But that isn't what the Pirate Bay does. The irrelevant fact you describe makes your post "stupid on its face".
BTW, the person accused of looting is not a looter if the stuff is indeed owned by the accused.
Well expressed. You are not alone, but seemingly out maneuvered presently.

Yeah laws are stupid. Why are we paying for police? I should be able to kill anyone I want in the name of competition and capitalism.
Seriously. Do some more thinking before you type.
Sorry. I just used my mod points.
I also think that the author fails to recognize that Chapter 11 is used as a strategy for changing the company while preserving upper management.

How do you know if it is working? You aren't even looking at others.
"designed to reduce the pile, not find the best applicants."
Yes, that is the problem.
So nepotism is the best way to fill positions?
You are not more right or less wrong because many people in power act with you.

Their are only 10 trustees of the WMF. That's only 20 legs at best.
I think that this is a good base:
Joe CEO can only spend X amount on Political Campaigning for Bill.

This is interesting but a bit off topic in this thread. Also FUD doesn't mean what you think it means.
