Even before the housing bubble burst, psych majors couldn't get any jobs with only four year degrees. It's not the economy. A BS in psychology does not provide you with any particularly marketable skills.
The US economy isn't in a recession (last GDP was +.6), but web journalism certainly is in the boom times of economic fear mongering.
Indeed. The USA has tons (well, megatons) of coal. If this has a chance, Wall Street will jump for joy and celebrate with a round of drinks for everyone at the vegan bar. This is worth considering because the benefits would be so huge for the earth, for business, and for Main Street (jobs and lower inflation).
That's interesting. As you know, no publicity is bad publicity. Jack is just trying to keep his company in the news so his share prices rise! Clever man...
Nobody suggested he set up his own farm. He would most likely look for a job at ADM or some other large company.
Whether ag is hot or not, small farmers will be at a disadvantage because their business model is simply much less efficient compared to larger ag companies.
Perhaps you haven't noticed that the price of wheat, rice, corn, and other ag products has double in a very short time. Maybe you also missed that stocks of fertilizer, farm equipment, and other ag companies have surged. You also overlooked the fact that states who have agriculture as the primary industry enjoy unemployment rates under 3%.
So it seems you aren't actually calling "bollocks," you are just saying a better picture can be seen by considering more details. No argument. It's better to be unemployed in (most of) Europe than in the US due to difference in health care policy.
For professionals (who receive group insurance) I do think it is better to be employed in the USA than the EU because the cost of living is just much much lower in the US.
So, given a closer look at the data, the intended audience (IT professionals) would likely do better here.
Counter-counterpoints: b) AU is not a representative sample of "the rest of the developed world." c) China's stock market fell 50% (depending on the index) once the housing market correction signaled that US consumers were in for some tough times. It seems the mass of money in the world disagrees with your theory that the world economies are fully decoupled. d) The euro surged relative to most currencies. Everything is relative. I reject your needless pedantry.
I say it's the opposite. The journey matters, not the destination. Don't spend every second of NOW obsessing over some future "goal" (which you will never attain anyway).
Picture of the US economy: Homebuilders and mortgage lenders are hurting and laying people off. Health care, education, agriculture, and IT are seeing strong demand with very low unemployment.
It should also be pointed out that
. Making economic predictions is extremely difficult.
. The US employment picture in the middle of a bad recession is still better than that of the rest of the advanced economies during boom times.
. A US recession is a world recession; there is nowhere to hide.
. A surge in the value of the Euro means EU exporters are going to get hit very hard, regardless.
Wow... You would have been considered really clever in the virus world... about fifteen years ago.
Guess what: Your invention has already been created. AF companies have countered with "heuristic" or "behavioral" virus detection. The purpose of this exercise is to game not just the signatures, but the heuristics as well.
"As long as you've got a decently secure operating system, nothing more than a rudimentary antivirus should be necessary."
Wow. Somebody has never worked in the security field before.
The OS doesn't matter a tenth as much as the user matters. As long as the user has the ability to execute code (with any rights, not necessarily root or admin), then viruses will spread. Links in web pages, instant messages, email attachments... whatever it is, the USER is the problem, not the OS.
OpenBSD would make a fine virus platform if it were the primary desktop OS.
I thought a logical positivist would ask if a finite procedure for conclusively determining whether either claim is true or false exists. And, if there is no such procedure, reject the question entirely for being "cognitively meaningless."
they never should have allowed the production of critical national-security infrastructure components to be outsourced If we built these things in America, we would have to raise taxes to pay for them, producing jobs, improving national security, and lowering the trade deficit along the way.
How any jesus-loving American think raising taxes is ever a good idea? What are you, one of them durn libruls?

Nvidia and Intel will never sign on to anything called "AMD GAME." This is doomed from the start because of the name.

I'm installing it right now. It looks like a copy of Ubuntu. It has a LiveCD, standard GNOME desktop, and an online package manager (called pkg).
Don't take that as criticism. Cloning Ubuntu is probably the best design decision an OS team can make these days.
Personally, I don't care whether it's Solaris or Ubuntu or *BSD underneath it all, so long as it supports my hardware and runs my applications.
In the eyes of the Romans, John the Baptist was a crank who got dis-headed for promoting false prophets.

Show me where I said "any other industrialized nation." The word "any" never entered in to it. My terminology was more generalized.

Ag is booming. Get with the times.

The real answer to this question is:
