The parishoners knew for months, if not years, that something strange was going on, but the diocese refused to do anything. There's a letter out there that the principle sent to the Bishop that's quite damning (and that the bishop supposedly never even read).
Actually, it's worse because it lulls you into a false sense of security.
I wonder if this was a case of the boy who cried wolf/car alarm problem; a system that isn't calibrated well and that people learn to tune out due to all of the false alarms.
It looks like it just happened the first time I opened FF after it had been updated. It went away after I shut FF down and brought it back up. I know it's hard to duplicate those kids of bugs, but still...

Would you rather be poor in Marx's day or today? It seems to me that today's poor have it pretty good, considering.
You could also argue that a big part of the problem of late is people living beyond their means. A nice, but modest, suburban home like the one you grew up in is no longer acceptable. Now, you need a McMansion, and that drives the overextension and the debt. Just watch any of the "Real Housewives" shows.
In terms of immiseration, the problem isn't exploitation but globalization (and cheap transport and communications). Back in the day, you competed for wages largely with people in your own country. Now, you're competing with workers from around the world.
China tries to put on the squeeze, prices go up, people get an incentive to start looking, and here we are.
Stories like this show why scarcity is so often a myth.
Seriously, I find ideas like this to be unsatisfying because they just pass the buck. Why is it any more likely that life would arise in a comet, asteroid, or other planet than it would be for life to arise on earth? Maybe if the earth was wiped clean by some cataclysm, but I don't know of anyone who's proposed that.
I work with baseball players and it's extremely helpful to be able to put some clips and pictures on a tablet and take that out to the field to show them what I want to do. I used to do that with my iTouch, but an iPad is better because of the bigger screen. An iPad is also lighter and cheaper than a laptop.
Maybe a tablet is overkill for some applications, but it's not for the ones I use it.
This is the general problem with cost-based thinking rather than value-based thinking.
I don't think anyone thinks HS trading was the culprit behind the mortgage mess.
Perhaps the OPer is confusing this with the flash crash.
In terms of the mortgage meltdown, HS trading wasn't a major problem, but flawed risk models certainly were complicit because they added to the general overconfidence.
It's possible that they are milking this, but it's also possible that they have legitimate reasons for holding parts back (e.g. to protect a source). My core point is that the last line of the OP is a bit over the top IMO.
This happened to me just today. I heard the engine turn off and figured he was parked so I walked in front of him just as he started off (with a startlingly quiet whirring sound). And no, I didn't realize it was a Prius until it went past me.

So the kids in the photos, and who might be in jeopardy, are just SOL? That's not very noble of you.

The church still doesn't appear to be taking this stuff seriously and parents should be concerned.
How about, after 10 or 100 or whatever over-rides, somebody does some poking around just to see if anything's up?

Ouch. But uncomfortably true.
Now I have a "New Tab" tab that I can't get rid of or change focus to. Does anyone test this stuff?

...when art required skill and not just a (debatable) amount of vision and/or insight.
People are doing a disservice to real artists when they label stuff like this "art."

They bought the handset business, not the other, older parts of Motorola. I'm just saying.
I don't edit much any more because I'm tired of making contributions and having them reverted by someone else. What's the point?

Seriously, how likely is it that cancer would be completely uniformly distributed?
Or is this the new math?
They lose money on every sale but make it up on volume.

The solution isn't political revolution, it's entrepreneurship.

It's metallurgy.
Well, rocket science metallurgy, but still!

Seriously, just because you can publish something, it doesn't mean you should. Sometimes it makes sense to sit on a story.
Not that I'd expect the wikileaks crew to get that.
Perhaps some people are just too stupid to know what "placebo" means. They just think it's another goofy brand name.
When it's time to, you know, but you're having trouble, you know, try Placebo.
Reminds me of the Pirin tablets from The Birdcage.
