Dude, at least give up one of your cars before whining about allowing others to have just one - typical Indian families have far more to go before catching up anywhere near your level of consumption.
I'm not in finance, but this half-ass measure of injecting money into AIG seems, well, half-assed. We should either have let it fall, or nationalize it outright and sell it off piece-meal (or whole). Grab a (semi)patriotic Gordon Gecko and put him to work - we don't lack Gordon Geckos, do we?
You people on the coasts are so spoiled. Up here in ND, I'd settle for a choice of cell phone companies that provide coverage in most of the state. IPhones are an unkown commodity up here.
This don't concern you, we talking American stuff here.
Corporate Social Responsibility is another one of those dishonest and fraudulent business fads, flaunting secondary goal that often contradict with the primary goal of making money. When push comes to shove, guess which one would prevail. Shell is an oil company, set up to make money in oil business. Criticizing it for not being "socially responsible" (however you define it) is like berating a snake for not acting like a cow.
You want renewable energy, set up monetary incentive for it, and be prepared to pay for it.
Purjury is difficult to prosecute because you need to prove it to be willful or some such. Of course, I'm of slashdot school of legal philosophy AKA "talk outta ma ass".

How about laptops, huh?!
It's their one great fear: disintegration/segmentation.
China seems to be the only ancient empire that managed to maintain intact to the modern time. Any other contender?
Either is cool with me, as long they are cool and takes care of business, you know what I am saying?
It's all good.
What if it's windy and there is no moon?

So what's the only way to be sure?
"And honestly, is it really a good idea to enable more people to buy cars?"
I assume you don't own one, yes?
"I could see it if a very low emissions small car was available to the poor to help get the nasty junk off the road..."
Nano's emission would be far more benign than 2-cycle autorickshaws, not mention being far more safe.
You know, the porn capital. Will spare you the obvious verbiage.
I feel you, man. It sucks to post these non-stories, but it's slim picking and what you gonna do?
That's it, right?
"usually Slashdot is pretty quick to get the news but his happened yesterday folks"
That was true back when slashdot was in paper edition, but since they switched to this new-fangled website thingy, it just haven't been the same.
One day, my lawn will have a real grass instead of this painted-over green dirt.
I'm agreeing with Balmer... so hell has frozen over.
I've better go dump all my money while I can. Maybe I'll get a mac.
Do your best to forget everything you've learned in CS, and go to nursing school. You'd be happier and live longer. :-)
Dude, like, that's what I said. You from the redundancy dept I keep hearing about around here?

Maybe?
The parent post was modded +5 insightful. Get the message?
5 trillion geeks can't all be wrong!
But then they went into IT, didn't they? Stupid gits...

Don't forget the important category "What money?!".

"11:36pm - Go to bed. Really loving these american TV dinners."
Hah! We've already won. All bow your head to "the other white meat!!!"
So there is a spec for Perl 6? Now there is something novel from Perl camp.
So this cthulhu walks into a bar, right, and...
Hey, anyone remember how this one goes? Damn, this over-22 thing is a drag...
Throw out "accounting". That's like comparing zebra and uranutang.
"I used to be fast, I could catch a fly in mid flight with my bare hand. Now I can only catch the old flies."
Good one, worth repeating.
But I've better use iTape to tape'em all. Other tapes of inferior quality would probably damage My iPrecious.
