    Obama has been looking for ways to release money into the economy as stimulus

    The money that has been "released" into the economy as stimulus was subdued and misdirected on purpose. He/*they* would rather we feel the pinch, making it easier to enact CHANGE through AGITATION. We need infrastructure stimulus now and it is not even on the table, not even being discussed in Washington. Read the wikipedia page on Saul Alinksy's Rules for Radicals. I just did as a result of someone else's post above and it was one of those moments where the light goes on and you understand "Hope and Change." Hidden in plain view. I'm left trying to discover the ultimate agenda now. What is the aim of the Obama administration? If you know, tell us. Think before you open your mouth and let out a bleat.

    Man, opening clam-shells with scissors is dangerous--potentially damaging the scissors. I would suggest kitchen shears at the very least, and a blowtorch.

    Never mind, I developed clinical-level narcissism to handle the lack of attention which carries with it a sense of entitlement.

    I didn't get much attention as a child and I have an entitlement complex. Explain that.

    Transition is easy. You can have accounts on both sites and use both sites at once, and because of this and G+'s lack of ads a switch can happen in a flash. FB is going to be consumed by investors clamoring for them to close this gap. If Google can create more demand on several fronts it will only speed things up. In my opinion, Google is not very good at marketing.

    Bullshit...I've seen plenty of bitching in the past and I didn't know what people were complaining about really. These days? I see what the bitch is about. In the past when people bitched it was not reflected in the activity. Now, activity is much lower than usual.

    I use it as a metric to determine if someone is REALLY a geek. If they know /. it means they also work on tech at home as well. Usually. If they are not a part of /. they lose my respect as a geek in general.

    I stay logged in. But I agree, this site is painful anymore, and I find myself browsing it less and less--ignoring stories more and more with an eye roll. To me, it is sad as there are no other communities which equal what /. once was. I would pay for membership to clean it up. Free sites are becoming useless because of crap invited by the ability of people to signup and post without barrier.

    Where is this, evidence? I stop listening when Christians start talking about Paul. Christianity is just a offshoot of a corrupt Judaic sect that aligned itself with the Romans at the time of Jesus. For this we have real evidence. Jesus, a popular leader/group who opposed the Romans was co-opted to fuel the fabulous technology, we now call Christianity, for controlling people who proved very unruly. The Jesus personage was melded with a popular deity that dated back for eons and was directly related to the sun. When the Old Testament was written there was a war raging between the earth worshipers and the sun worshipers (they preferred a single deity). The sun worshipers preferred this idea because it was a top-down granting of power that was graced to the earth by the deity. The King was always designated as the god in close association with the sun (Kingship was lowered from heaven). The earth/moon cults with their many gods and worship of knowledge did not adhere to this particular proposition of hierarchy and had to be vanquished. The sun cult won, but alas, we as Gnostics still exist. So fuck off. (Read YOUR Bible and you will see this drama played out before your very eyes.)
