Also fixed interest takes PROJECTED inflation in to account, they expect us to be doing a lot better right now then we are so people with a fixed rate are getting screwed with such low inflation.
The interest rate goes down, too, and you can re-finance. The only one getting screwed is the bank.

What specific limitations are you talking about? I know of some, but they’re not necessarily deal-breakers. Except maybe not supporting binary file I/O, and there’s no way to make a window always-on-top.
And an even bigger difference between cutting open the mattress when it’s raining and the roof leaks and spending it to repair your roof and cutting open the mattress when it’s raining and the roof leaks and using the paper to plug the holes.

You could write some ephemeral JavaScript programs in an.html file that can't even interact with the filesystem, sure
.hta
But be forewarned... you’re using IE. Less importantly, your virus scanner might not like you for it.
...because they were opposed to some of the things in the bill on principal, and no amount of “compromise” (i.e. legal bribery) would take those things out of it, because the Democrats refused to compromise those?
Compromise means if they take out something I don’t like, I’ll let them leave in something else I didn’t like.
Compromise does not mean that if they put enough kickbacks in for me, I’ll hold my nose and vote for it.
TARP - clearly helped the economy, and before you parrot the tea party lies, we have gotten almost all the money back, with interest.
Yeah, that’s because instead of using the bailout money to actually help the economy, most of the recipients just piggy-banked it so they could pay it back as quickly as possible and get the government off their backs.
If this round of Republicans pushes for larger and more intrusive government, higher debt, and less freedoms, I most sincerely will be telling them to fuck off.
However I do have a bit of hope for them, as they’ve traditionally been somewhat less bad about those than the Democrats, and they’re being watched pretty closely now so they won’t hopefully be able to go on a drunken sailor spending binge quite like the last Republican congress (before it got kicked to the curb) or President Bush in his latter term (before McSame got massacred in a landslide victory by Obama).
I’m sorry, I didn’t realise I had to know all the answers before pointing out that somebody’s fucking things up even worse. Here’s one suggestion, for a start: Stop.
And now we've got voter revolt happening over: 1) shock over the price tag of the stimulus (ie, Dems are spending too much trying to revive the economy) and 2) the slow recovery (ie, the Dems aren't doing enough to try to revive the economy). Well, which is it?
Both.
They’re spending too damn much money trying to revive the economy (surprise surprise... it’s not working) and aren’t doing anything that would actually revive the economy... in fact they’re doing the exact opposite.
It's possible to put together a $4,500 computer, though.
And it’s also possible to put a little girl through a meat grinder... but I don’t think you’d find it being seriously discussed, with the possible exception of on 4chan...
A kid that will refuse to sit in one place and read a book when told and will go wondering off around and exploring his surroundings may still be perfectly civilised.
No, a kid that cannot sit in one place and read a book when told is most certainly uncivilised. That is the very definition of undisciplined.
A kid that will disassemble her robot tutor is not uncivilised, she is curious.
If the robot tutor gets put back together again – and works – I don’t have a problem with it. If not... the child’s natural curiousity is going to need to take a back seat until he or she has figured out that simply going around and destroying stuff isn’t civilised.
I’ve known a few Korean children and they could sit still and be quiet when necessary. They could also be loud and energetic, when it was appropriate. In fact they seemed extremely well-behaved and disciplined without seeming at all like the little zombie children you described.
Firesheep sniffs the cookies that are being passed in HTTP requests, then transmits those cookies to facebook to see what account facebook returns in the reply and shows you the profile picture of who you're logged in as.
Why? Seems to me that simply parsing the HTML as it flies across the network would reveal the UID of the person, at which point you can just fetch their public profile and you’ll have their name, and probably their profile picture as well, without ever needing to spoof their cookie.
Oh, you’ve got a fucking lot of room to talk considering that you didn’t even KNOW what was in that bill until after it was passed, per your own beloved Nancy Pelosi.
Here, I’d like to have a vote on my new bill, it’s called “save kittens while your mum gets assraped”... what, now you don’t want to save kittens?!
it is no different to publication of such a photo anywhere on the web. There is nothing about putting up a named photo of someone on a web page which is unique to Facebook
I don’t disagree. I was just explaining his point.
Also, WHY do 80% of the constituency dislike the bill? Because they watch Fox news and night after night watched it get skewered (and skewed) by partisan hacks? Because they're unhappy with the economy and want something to lash out at? Because they have a skewed view of public welfare programs because of the polemics launched by demagogues?
No. Obviously not, because he gets re-elected time after time.

Oh look, we loaned ourselves a bunch of money which we didn’t have and then we paid back the loan with interest. Whoop de fucking do.
Some inflation will help them by reducing their existing debt in comparison to their income because it will increase to match inflation.
Hello, I’m a mechanism that makes sure that things never work out in your favour like that? My name is Interest...
Seriously, if interest wasn’t even going to cover inflation, nobody would lend money.

Unless you run a large enough deficit that it causes its own recession, which is of course what you really should be doing...

Someone should make a poster like the "Everything I needed to know in life I learned in kidergarten" but change it to Counter-Strike.
“Everything I needed to know in Counter-Strike I learned in kindergarten”?
Ok... they can start by keeping the Democrats from doing another damn thing worth mentioning.
That already happened. It was back in 2008. Except... you somehow seem to have got the R’s and D’s mixed up.

Anonymous Coward said he’d put his daughter through a meat grinder, literally, and you believe he’s being serious about the $4500 computer?

Remove the extra period.
Why? It’s their website. They should fix the links.
So the site is broken. Thanks for clarifying that.
My only other puzzlement is, does Safari throw away double periods in the URL which somehow allowed it to pass that test?
