Thankfully I don't have to bother with this kind of stuff. Antivirus 360 says that everything's A-OK on my system. I sure paid a lot of money for it but I don't have any problems with stuff like this!
Like that Scientology magic mind meter or whatever the hell that crazy thing is called? I recall that they claim copyright on any attempts to sell it and it gets delisted.
Perhaps that is just the natural selection of music?
It takes people a while to listen to a whole bunch of bands, and as time goes by they form opinions. If you have two bands you're listening to and you've heard one CD of each, you can make a decent judgement about which one you like better. Now, let's say ten years past and each band has released 3 CDs in that time. You could form a better opinion on which band you like better with more material to listen to, not to mention the many live shows, television performances, etc. of the respective bands.
I sure as hell wouldn't want to try to mug a postman.
First, I've seen some of the crazy bastards outside in Winter in shorts. So they're tough as nails right there. Moreover, you could just be the unfortunate one to mug the postman that was gonna flip out at work with an uzi just as soon as he finished his shift.
I believe that would fall under the "This money was wasted" category, or possibly the "We have no idea what happened to this money but we no longer have it and I could have sworn we had it" category.
Americans? You speak as if the rest of the world isn't just as guilty.
Granted, there are countries that are more culpable for the current financial mess (and some that are less culpable), but America isn't the only source of the problem here.
I'm looking into an OpenPandora, but if the DSi had some of the same basic functionality - wireless internet, calender/organizer, notepad, etc. - it'd be worth the money for me (and probably cheaper as well).
There's plenty of companies and people working on the wind/solar/hydro aspect of green tech, but I'd bet that there aren't nearly as many companies and people working on equally important stuff such as carbon sequestering.
The down-lo on carbon sequestering - those nasty greenhouse gases get contained... somehow. The lowest technological level of it is to basically jam it into a hole in the ground - sort of the opposite of natural gas. (Rather than pump it out, they pump it in.)
The more complex version basically goes like: well, now we have all this carbon gas, what can we do to make it productive? From there it's integrating it into things like turbines and other forms of generation.
This will allow them to keep their current infrastructure in place while adding onto it. They get to keep their coal/oil burning smog factories and they don't really release much in the way of smog into the air. That's about as win/win as you can get and one of the more realistic solutions for dealing with areas proliferated with oil and coal power plants (such as China).
And before someone says it, no, I'm not a shill for Shell.

Wouldn't it just be better to improve mass transit, stuff like trains?
Anyone who's ever ridden a train in Germany knows how much our trains are like crap in comparison. Sure, stuff like the NY/NJ Path train, subways, etc. might be nice, but I'm talking interstate trains.
I can't remember the exacts but Germany spends something like 10x on their trains compared to what we spend on our trains nationally.
The bottom line is that trains lose money - you can't have their true cost come down to ticket sales, because it will be too expensive for most people to bother with them. However, federally subsidizing the trains (as pretty much every industrialized nation does to some degree) will be a net benefit. Less cars on the road, less idiot drivers on the road, etc.

Exactly. I'm always amazed by people who think that writing impenetrable code is "advanced". Any jackass can write something convoluted and obscure that nobody else can understand (or maintain) -- what takes actual talent is condensing complicated logic into code that's simple enough a ten year old would understand it.
Actual talent? Yes. Actual job security? Not necessarily.
To some people, write dox or mans is like training the new guy and you get fired at the end of the day. Guess who gets your job!

That's an insult to all chimpkind.

What about space parachutes?
All jokes aside, giant solar sails that latch onto the asteroid and open up.
They do play rugby, which is just like football without all of that girly protective padding.
There's plenty of them still around, they're just not as ubiquitous as they used to be.
When fraud happens, the credit card company often doesn't pay for it, the merchant does.
For instance, if someone steals your card and a goes out to eat, you don't pay for that meal and Visa doesn't pay for that meal. Guess who does?
Now if there were a law that Visa et. al. had to pay, in full, any fraudulent charges (i.e. absorb the damage), I bet this would change reaaal quick.
What we need is for someone to invent Gundanium Alloy already.

But then how does a person break into the industry?
Go to college, or have someone who can pull strings for you and guarantee you a job.

You could have included the movie name in your reply post. I suggest that you attend the Internet Orientation Seminar again.
(The movie is Dawn of the Dead, btw.

Full points as well as getting sued so fast by Apple that they'll make his head spin.

Microcenter is like Toys 'R Us for adults, and I'd rather shop there than a bigger store.
They, like all businesses, do have their problems, though. The phone system for the North Jersey Microcenter is complete shit.
Bonjoooour, ya cable-cutting sea monkies!
Simple, innocuous questions can get you into a shitload of trouble with cops. The best thing to do is not to talk to them.
DON'T TALK TO COPS!
Simple as that.
Unless you're one of the smart people who just cancelled the contract (or bought a first gen iPhone and never got a contract with AT&T).
It's an inchworm.
That's what SHE said!
