Last report I saw said that is cost 278,000 to create every job that was created from the stimulus bill. I'm not disagreeing with you, since I have no numbers on how much consumer spending it costs to create one job. I would be interested in learning more.
Yes, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Looking at it in a historical perspective, the writers of the Constitution had just ended a bloody civil war with England. They understood that this could not have happened without people who had guns and knew how to use them. IMO the laws banning automatic weapons are unconstitutional. So are laws selling hand grenades to children, but there is a caveat here, children had no rights back then, so they were exempt from the Constitution.
The fact of the matter is that if every human on the planet paved one acre of their land, and killed all the plants in that area, it would only amount to less than 1% of the total land mass of the earth. And this would only be so for approximately 5 to 10 years, (nature always finds a way). So to think that humans have significantly affected the atmosphere in the last 100-150 years with greenhouse gases is ludicrous. Do the math, it's always right
As a German I think it's the perfect time to ditch the nuclear power and finally invest some of the billions of moneys that the electric cooperations taking and come up with a sustainable and green energy source. Without any pressure from the government we will use oil, gas, coal and nuclear until all of this resources will get so expensive and until we get a some major catastrophes, because the cooperations don't care one bit about the future.
Everyone has known that the nuclear power plants have a limited lifetime. But what was the solution: just extend the lifetime. The electric companies took subsidies, tax cuts, new laws, and they knew that eventually the nuclear power plants are going to be shut down and they done nothing.
I'm really glad our politicians have the balls to say that from now on there will be a major technology shift. Yes, now the alternative energy sources sucks ass, but wait until we transfer some billions for R&D. Of course we can't shut down the nuclear plants over night, but we have to start someday. And it is always the government who is in the position and should have the balls to tell the market to create new technologies. Hell, without the governments pushing for nuclear, there would be no nuclear electric cooperations.
Now it's the prefect time to put pressure on the market to push for R&D for better energy sources. Without such pressure the banks will just continue to sit on their tax-bailout money and not lend to risky enterprises and the big energy cooperations will just waste the money on shareholders. Better now then in 30 years, where we actually don't have any other choice but to put the reactors down and because there was no pressure to invest in R&D we will get stuck down in the middle ages.
Spoken like a true socialist. Now don't take that the wrong way, I'm not sure that capitalism is the right answer either. The truth is shit is messy. I'm all for nuclear power. Store the waste in the deepest parts of the ocean, and not worry about Godzilla coming at us.
I found this be product placement to be completely hilarious, when I worked for Sysco Foods. In one horror movie, they are chased into the freezer of the restaurant, and yes you guessed it it was full of Sysco Food boxes. These are the product placements and ads that really get to me. The ones that are only for rich people. No normal person watching that movie would even realize that there were ads in the movie.
The only problem with that is the non-compete agreements in the US. Where I live, I can only get Suddenlink (which involves paying for cable), or Centurytel (which is expensive, but still cheaper than the other option). I can't get anybody else out here. I know I've tried.
The Native Americans have stories from the around about 14 or 1500's in which they hunted woolly mammoths. In at least one story, it was another mini-ice age, and the tribe was starving from the long winter. They set out to find something to hunt, and killed what is most likely a woolly mammoth. Considering how efficient the Indians were in using the dead animals, there is no doubt we would never find any evidence of this.
I call bullshit. Companies can whine all they want about how they don't make money, but in the real world you never sell a product for a loss. This is just GM's way to get more funding from the govt. Hell, I already own 60% of the company. Fuck GM.
Where do we keep getting this worst economy of all time bullshit? I think there was a little thing called the Great Depression, and there was a much worse recession in the early 80's than what we just went through.
Amen, my commute is hell. And I only live in Podunk Little Rock AR. I would hate to live in a real city. If people only knew how to drive, my commute would be so much easier.
But of course climate change is still real. Unless of course you start adding in all the other falsified data, and start changing the models to account for all the new data that has been published in the last year and a half.
Of course the thermosphere is different. How many different universes have been in since they tried to turn on the LHC last year? There has to be something that is different to prove that we live in the one universe in which the LHC does not destroy the earth. Only real explanation.
Uhmm, so you want the next president elected by a bunch of rednecks from Arkansas. Looks like Huckabee will win in 2012. Oh I'm sorry Alaska, Montana, and North Dakota also get to vote.
Sounds like too much science fiction reading to me. But then again how many things have Asimov, Bova, Heinlein and the like predicted that has actually come true. Sooner or later it will be feasible, and someone will figure out how to make a huge profit out of it, and realize that they are no longer bound by earthly govt's and regulations. Then we'll have the first solar system war, and who know where we go from there.
Once again another apple story with no point. The climate in 1959 was much different than it is today. They only had radio and uhhm, tv. There was no internet, no video games. It was either watch tv at home or go to the movies. Today we have so many more options.

So 40k in a year in jobs that took 278k to create. That's almost 14 years to recoup the loss at 100% tax. This seems inefficient to me.
Source please?

But it's got Bruce Campbell in it. It must succeed.
The only other star it would need would be Cary Elwes, and it's next summer's blockbuster.

How is this news for nerds? Are they going to release the phote via bit torrent, twitter, or some other social media.
The Slashdot system is fine as long as you agree with the herd. Post a counter-argument, and get modded down
Discuss and flame me down.

Looks like some 4 star general needs some more Farvmville friends. Isn't the Zynga limit 501?
He must be going for the biggest cyberfarm in history.

I think this guy might be a little biased in his opinion of apple.

Why so I could buy some new software for an old computer or I could buy windows 7. Now that would be a selling point.
