    1024 companies? Great idea! Then someone can make a Beowulf cluster out of them :)

    Right, we'll dismantle the public school system and everyone will go to private schools, which I don't think are noted for their tolerance of Korn t-shirts and other acts of rebellious behavior.

    Yes, this article is mostly BS. Especially stupid was this statement :

    Traditional capital was stuck in a company's bank account or investments. It could not walk away in disgust. Human capital has free will. It can walk out the door; traditional capital cannot.

    Capital can and does walks away in disgust. Look at what happened in Indonesia/Malasia/Thailand/Korea, etc...Capital fled in a panic, and the economies of those countries were ruined as a result. It is labor that is tied to a particular place. The workers of those countries stayed and suffered while capital escaped. NAFTA and the WTO are all about allowing capital to move around even more freely than they do now.

    Here is a much simpler explanation of the "new economy" : Techies are simply highly skilled workers. Right now those skills are in demand; therefore techies are well paid for their labor. This will not be the case forever. Eventually most technical skills will be commoditized, the Internet investment boom will level off, and pay will drop as it has for other skilled labor in previous technological advancements. There has been no permanent change in the relationship of labor and capital.

  5. Incredible quotes from the file on Read Einstein's FBI File · · Score: 1
    from page 14 of the pdf file :

    And who is the acknowledged world leader, who, by direct affiliation with Communist and anarcho-communist organizations and groups, and by his utmost personal efforts, is doing most to "shatter" the "military machinery"..? ALBERT EINSTEIN is that leader. Not even Stalin himself is affiliated with so many anarcho-communist international groups...as ALBERT EINSTEIN.

    ...

    ALBERT EINSTEIN has promoted "lawless confusion" to "shatter" the Church as well as the State--and to leave, if possible, even the laws of nature and the principles of science in "confusion and disorder" and subject to revision with every new proclamation of an "Einstein theory!"

    "the Persian Gulf War, involved a minute fraction of the population of the coalition nations." Of course, the coalition nations were not the only populations involved. 100,000 Iraqis were killed in the fighting. The vast majority of the population of Iraq continues to suffer under the UN sanctions. Whether "we live in a world of peace" is true depends on which world you live in.
