Fannie and Freddie purchased the subprime loans from other lenders, creating a huge market for them overnight. Why not issue a subprime loan if you can turn around and sell it the next day? You keep all the initial fees and assume none of the risk.
when I was 10-11 my dad caught me looking at porn on our C64. The next day my mom made him pack the computer up for several years until we got a new PC.
barney frank dated the ceo of fannie mae for many years. chris dodd got sweetheart deals from countrywide. citigroup just sponsored a trip the caribbean for 5 democrats.
regulation or not, the foxes are already in the chicken coop, and nobody is watching them.
*before* the ceasefire ending Hamas fired almost 3000 rockets into Israel. I'd say they broke the ceasefire well before the IDF "provoked" them.
I agree they should open up the borders, the problem is the people in gaza voted for a terrorist group to run things. Now they have to live with the fact that Hamas uses any opening in the border to bring in weapons.
Body count is no way to judge these things, as Hamas deliberately hides their weapons and members amount civilians to inflate it. In an ideal world the should be blamed by all for those civilian deaths as well. Even this girl gets it.
Uh, they posted video of mortars being fired from that school last week. Was it currently being used? We have no way of knowing, but that's how all intelligence works.
Point being the elected government of Gaza was using a UN non-military building as a base of operations to launch attacks on a civilian populace.
or perhaps the economic situation isn't hitting everyone equally. For instance I saved up already, got a reasonable mortgage, and bought a house. I didn't get an ARM and monthly payments that are more than I make each month because I didn't want to be financially reckless.
Besides, maybe buying the gift cards *is* their way of saving. Amazon does have some great deals. I bought all my college books on there for fractions of what the university bookstore charged.
one thing I noticed they do include is every single archive of a mailing list I'm on, so a search for my name returns the exact same message posting over 20 times before I get real results.

the people who just use the browser their OS comes with aren't installing a beta of that browser by hand.
also Safari is available for Windows, fyi.
It might be bad PR, but why is it bad morals?
it's a slippery slope. one day you're overpaying employees you've fired, the next day you're stabbing hobos to death.
finally, free porn on the internet!

Let's hope God doesn't have a mom.

64 is larger than 32, and thus 64-bit equates to "better"
Not just "better", "twice as better"
er 2007.
that's what I get for trying to be specific.
just to be specific they posted the video last week, however it was shot in Feb/2008.

not to mention you won't have much competition from any other US firms.

this is still Slashdot, right?
a couple years ago I read a story about kids in the midwest getting high by strangling themselves.
Seriously, the human race will always find a way to get high. Always.
not only chips, deaths from prescription medications each year are thousands and thousands more than deaths from illegal drugs.
hell, deaths from aspirin every year outnumber the total who have died on mdma ever!
which is exactly why all grocery stores phased out their produce sections.
point being even if I wanted pot daily I don't have the time to grow it myself. I'll pay someone else to do it for me.
the safety issue is a total distraction, and if I had mod points I'd give them to you.
Huffing paint isn't safe, but people still do it and oddly enough we haven't outlawed paint.
if the girl had shrugged it off none of us would have ever heard about Lori Drew's actions in this case.
That is my biggest concern about Obama. He's incapable of taking politically damaging measures. He's like Clinton, but with less of a spine.
Not just south of the border either. There have been over 200 kidnappings in the US this year so far.
But hey don't call for tighter border security or you're a racist!
You're thinking of the Prime Minister. The president isn't involved in media companies.
at least he's not a Vogon.

Great layout, terrible results.
The main difference is that whenever I call T-mobile their reps seem to be 20-something flirty females.
man forget the iphone, I'm switching to t-mobile!
