No, because those luxury items do nothing to grow the economy. The brokers are rich, too, and reinvest in other luxury items that don't grow the economy, either. Even the name "trickle down" admits that the flow of capital from rich people stays in their own rich club, and only tiny amounts can even be promoted to flow elsewhere in propaganda for it to be believable by anyone.
Middle class people spend money on cars, food, building new housing, and all kinds of other economic activity that stimulates new growth.
Ask any entrepreneur (not just marketers for risk-averse corporations) and they'll tell you they rarely target the rich people unless they have an inside angle, even though that's where most of the money is. We target the middle class because that's where the opportunities are.
The government as a whole is Republican, doing whatever Bush says. Bush has vetoed only one law from his rubber-stamp Republican Congress, and that was just a propaganda attack on stemcell research to desperately keep his theocrat base from deserting him like most everyone else has. Those "stupid decisions" somehow work out to be very profitable and powerful for Republican corporate bribers^Wsponsors.
The rich lock up their income in real estate, art, jewelry and luxury items which do little to help grow the economy. The middle class spends on production that grows the economy, and invests in riskier entrepreneurs. That Reagan trickle was a tiny leak compared to the flood of investment when the middle class prospers, has the access to capital and stability to face risk.
Only a Republican could forget the 8 years of Nixon the Crook and Ford the Goof. You don't think the $BILLIONS on the Vietnam fiasco, the OPEC Oil Kidnapping, the Watergate discrediting the government had anything to do with the damage done? Or Carter's SEC run by Casey, guy who then ran Reagan's 1980 campaign and then the CIA? Maybe Iran had something to do with it - the Shah Iran created by Nixon's CIA, and the Ayatollah Iran propped up by Reagan/Bush's Iran/Contra enterprise?
You Republicans have nothing but lies. The Great Depression: Republicans Coolidge and Hoover. The 1970s recession: Nixon/Ford. The 1982 recession: Reagan/Bush. The 1990 recession: Bush. The 21st Century collapse: Bush/Cheney. Every time you Republicans get together to put one of your crooks in the White House, you attack the country. Only because your party owns the corporate media do you lies get endless free passes out of the dustbin of history and back into power.
But don't expect the rest of us with working memories and conscience to forget. Or forgive.
George Bush is a "good steward of the environment", like any good Christian. Like any good steward, he's making sure it's cooked properly by professionals.
Corporations should not be allowed to store personal info longer than the duration of the transaction, or transmit it outside the scope of the transaction. AT&T should be prosecuted for liability, including lifetime exposure to ID fraud. AT&T security and policy managers and directors should hold personal liability, piercing the corporate liability veil.
Then we'd see American corporations rush to rewire their databases to protect customers, instead of protecting their advantages in charging and marketing to us, and the risk that their few bucks benefit will destroy our lives.
So what makes using the content as an ad for the rest of its operation that produced it "backwards"? Nothing. Reversing the relationship is the insight that content companies like record labels have been unable to get past. I offer the insight free.
My post is content that advertises the idea. It's easy to redistribute, and side effects of its popularity are changing the economy to actually work, which is in my interest. QED.
We give away ads, and the luckiest get passed on by consumers to each other, carrying the best recommendation possible. Content is the best ad, as the most popular quickly becomes folklore, part of the society's indispensible identity.
Content should be encouraged by its producer to be shared. It should include pointers to more goods that can actually be charged for access. Like performances, logo'ed merchandise, licenses for cross-promotion of other goods. The premiere of content in a market can carry access fee for its earliest consumers, before the content exploits the free, efficient and recommended distribution by consumers among themselves.
Even physical goods require promotion by creating content that we give away as ads. The best economy gives away the cheapest, most popular distributed content. Now we can skip the ads and use the content to sell the rest of the package.
Any economics that ignore the costs of promotion and the value of the free, enthusiastic promotion by content sharing is too naive to be taken seriously.
With the Republican government persecuting whistleblowers by stripping their protections, I expect people publishing stories of government ripoffs on YouTube to be sent to jail for "leaking".
But if you stripe data across 10 80GB drives, they're faster than a single stream read/written on a single 750GB drive. And the reliability means quicker failures, but the tinier drive means replacing a smaller, cheaper chunk every time one fails ($80 instead of $330). That savings alone could count against the double cost per GB, maybe even result in a lower cost per month.
They're using ITX motherboards to keep price/power down. If they used notebook HDs instead of the 3.5" 750GB ones, they'd get about 10% the storage density per host, 50% the price performance per GB, but much better power efficiency per GB. Is there a way to stuff 40 80GB notebook drives into an ITX host, for even better power efficiency at only double the price?
HW RAID is incompatible with the HW we're discussing, at least in power/size/cost specs.
Repopulating the drives takes as long in SW as in HW, limited by the HD write speed. Saturating a GB network is also not a function of the RAID, whether HW or SW.
You're talking about the bandwith constraints of moving local filesystems to network storage, which is another matter. Once the network and storage HW can accommodate the app bandwidth (and latency) requirements, SW RAID on a cluster of these cheap, cool, tiny applicances makes all kinds of sense.
Maximum rez (8Kx6Kx60FPSx2eyes) video for 75 years is 54 petabytes, compressed to maybe 3-5PB. That's about 120KW at 80W:TB.
The average American home consumes about 5KW, for about 2 people, unless it's storing their life experience data in 67 racks, 240KW, 48x their electric bill. They might only need half the power if they add storage as they add experience at 54TB:y. Maybe if we start now, we could get the power demands closer to human biological power consumption of about 0.12W by the time a new person is ready to go to school.
What's the best SW RAID to run against a cluster of these 3TB 1U appliances? That transparently offers swappable cluster units to apps designed to write to local filesystems?
Rading that list of products^Wartists I can see exactly what that post was talking about. Except for Prince, but he's using Universal for distribution only, just like he did Columbia before - as usual, Prince is his own world, we just dream of it.
"Protectionist" foreign trade agreements are the modern equivalent of armies, protecting our borders from foreign advantages in trade wars. America has discarded our soverignty by creating regional and global trade agreements that reduce our trade border to the lowest standards of any country in the world. We are now occupied by foreign trade armies firing cheap goods into our country from polluted, exploited foreign strongholds.
The features that column describes are not OS features. They're app features. There's nothing stopping an app developer from including those features in an app running on any OS, or even a cross-plaform app running on Windows/Linux/OSX.
At best their "popular palette" system across apps is a windowing toolkit, only marginally part of the OS, and also possible in any current desktop OS, or in a shared app library.
What's such a dumb article so wrong about what an OS is doing in _OS Weekly_?
Are the CPUs pins, BGA, soldered, or some other interconnect? I wonder where to find the specs for the new BIOS, and what the specific order of upgrade operations for it is. And which Core Duo notebook is the cheapest/best to upgrade, and how much that winds up costing compared to a factory new Core2 Duo of equivalent specs.
The Front Side Bus speeds is of particular interest as it's the same as the current Core Duo chips. The new chip also uses the same Socket M interface, which means that it's a drop in replacement for the old Core Duo, so you could, in theory upgrade an older notebook with the newer chip.
Where's the instructions for upgrading the cheapest old Core Duo notebook to a Core2 Duo with these new chips?
If foreign companies that pollute more than even US law allows *cough*China*cough* paid import taxes to cover the costs of their pollution, a lot more Americans would buy the cleaner, Greener products produced (more) domestically. That kind of protection of our markets and environment would keep the US greener, both cleaner and richer.
I think we're looking at * T-shirts, not specifically/. T-shirts. Because we can change the images, why would we let the logo-owner "own" the shirt, limiting which logo we can display?
One shirt to display them all, one T-shirt to bind them, one T-shirt to play them all, and in the darkness remind them.
