The Ministry of Truth says that inflation is low, when you filter out all the inflationary stuff like housing and energy! And that (we) created 380,000 new jobs, but forgot to mention that we lost over 200,000 during the same period and when we factor in the natural increase in population and all the jobs created by the Iraq war we see that we are hemmoraging jobs almost as fast as the 1930's.
The rediculous housing bubble has kept the economy artifically alive for years now, and you know that that bubble is showing signs of failure.
The Gummermint says (trust me, now please stand up against that wall and put on this blindfold).
Why can't I find a cellphone with big buttons, clear-simple display and NO features other than making phone calls? Older people especially people with disabilities, can't use/see/manipulate these goddamned tiny little phones! I especially hate the buttons, I can completly cover the keypad on most of the ones Iv'e seen with one of my thumbs, consequently I don't have a cell phone.
How many people out there would buy a phone if one was made for older users?
Hey, the kid that Foley was (wanted to) begin messing with knew it was creepy and sick (and reported it), makes you wonder how many other kids he messed with (who didn't report it). Who really knows how many of these guy's use their positions to ignore the law.
Some hard drives are too damn HOT! I try to find out in advance which ones to avoid, my server has 2 8gig and 2 4gig EIDE drives, the oldest is at least 10 years old, they turn slower than the newer drives and don't get hot at all. You can still get older cool running drives on Ebay. Do we really need enormous HD's for everything?
Your insurance bill will follow your income closly, (How much did you make? make check payable in that amount). Your advertising cost will put you out on the street in no time. Every little mindless shit that you work for will (within a day or two) screw up/undo what you did, and blame you for it! And remember, whatever happens it's the guy who touched it last's fault.
IMHO, I'd rather take up being a convienience store clerk in a bad neighborhood on the night shift than go through that again.
It's funny in a sick kind of way that sombody who is completely unqualified (like myself) can solve the puzzle but others who would be good at it can't. I especially liked the little knock about being ideal for "young" applicants.
OK, howabout the being the oldest person ever to set foot in a faily large enterprise? Most of the workers are in their 20's with a few in their 30's and myself at least 20+ years older than the oldest people already working there. This made for some really awkward conversations.
My family (central and eastern european origin) always pronounced it (bear with me) chachke (the e is as in Fedx), and we always thought it meant "little junks" as my mother would have put it.
She was fluent in English, Yiddish, Russian & Polish.
Go to your local office supply store, buy 2 identical USB HDDs, go to a war surplus store and buy two old GI ammo boxes (with rubber gaskets intact) hide your shit off your property in 2 locations. Encrypt them with strong encryption.
And also put them in zip-lock bags with a packet of silica gel and don't forget to wipe them off. Always pay cash!
Most American's (I'm one myself) also think that the word (concentrated) on a can of frozen orange juice means that it's been blessed by the pope. A random sampling of people in SF's financial district (all well dressed/white collar) asked to identify California on a map of the United Stated that had it's text removed could not find it and did not know what states border it.
This really hits home with me! After calling the police numerous times on little thug wannabes blasting their profanity laced "hip-hop", "rap" at 120+ decibels at 12:00 AM and standing in a dark street in the cold yelling and honking their horns. It seems to me (IMHO) that the world is made up of 999.99% noisemakers and the remainder are not allowed to sleep because of them!
This is probably only an annoyance, since if you want to communicate confidently all you have to do is use somebody else's phone, payphone, stolen cellphone, or anonymous credit card and pay as you go cellphone under a false identity. Of course you could hide a (real) conversation at a very low bitrate as an encrypted datastream (steganography) under a non-encrypted bogus conversation and hope no one notices.
One of the very few advantages of being absolutly flat broke is that you can tell all the little sue-happy shyster momser ganiffs to get fucked with complete impunity!

Hey, I started playing PC based video games in my 40's, anybody but me remember Doom for os/2?
Centipede, frogger or Qbert?
LORD?

Anywhere in Alberta, Canada!
Scenery, English, cost of living, cheap prescriptions, etc.
Why am I not there? I honestly can't tell you.
Sounds like Nazi propaganda!
Der Ubermenchen or Untermenchen, I thought we fought a war against that sort of thinking, and won!
I think anybody that professes to embrace that sort of thing needs to have their ass kicked.

That me talking? I'll shut up!
Somebody tell me that the bitch Carley Fiorina is behind this!

In felt pen on greasy brown paper bag, Ben's lunch, made with unwashed hands and a good wet sneeze for seasoning!

The first part is a joke, the second is not, ask Barry Sheckner of channel five (the local CBS affiliate).
Three words, "removable hard drive"
Go to your local office supply store, buy 2 identical USB HDDs, go to a war surplus store and buy two old GI ammo boxes (with rubber gaskets intact) hide your shit off your property in 2 locations.

Always pay cash!
Fear Government!

The educational system here really sucks (IMHO)
I know this is a controversial idea but why not use cash?
Or a pre pay anonymous credit card (check usenet, there is such a thing).
This really hits home with me!

I have NO sympathy for loud obnoxious people.
Let it be, if you mess with it it'll stink even worse.
Only an over the top putz like Shatner could play Kirk!
McCoy "He's dead Jim"
The first error in this is your assuption that this sort of thing is new, and second is that you have rights and live in a "free" democracy!
Ask the Cherokee about "freedom", hell, ask anybody, anywhere about how "free" they are! Self delusion and denial often masquerade as patriotism.

In high tech over 50, hell, over 60 = unemployed, when was the last time you saw a senior citizen working at McDonalds?
Flat broke = no job
Car = 10 year old Hundai with 0 resale value!
When I say flat broke I really mean it!
