  3. Re:Shame on Morgan Stanley on Mark Zuckerberg's Big Facebook Mistake · · Score: 1

    Like I said, it was just an off-the-cuff number. On a 5 year outlook, maybe $10 makes more sense. That could happen in another 6 months at which time I'll wonder if $2.50 wasn't the right target. I've always seen it as a led balloon and I hope it continues to sink like one. I don't like their product, management or their methods. Burn baby, burn.

  4. Shame on Morgan Stanley on Mark Zuckerberg's Big Facebook Mistake · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wall Street greed strikes again. I'm just glad that I wasn't stupid enough to invest. My off-the-cuff valuation would have been somewhere around $5/share.

  5. Oracle sucks on CowboyNeal Reviews Oracle Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They make everything more difficult than it should be. They've given me headaches every time I've had to deal with them over the last 20 years. Pre-sales support, installation, bug research/reporting/resolution are all a royal pain. If you're in the process of buying Oracle software and they try to push *their* Linux on you, push back. Ask them why they are unable/unwilling to support industry standard distributions.

  11. Re:Now to understand what it means on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    They fell 40% for those who now get state subsidy. In other words, someone else is paying the difference. The actual cost has been rising faster than the national average. It didn't work like they said it would but it's working exactly like they want. Massachusetts insurance providers are seeing increased profits.

    Wake up and smell the shit.

  12. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    Fine, but people should be able to sign a waiver stating that they don't expect free care. There are religious exemptions to this. Well, guess what. I have my own damned religion that restricts me from dealing with the corrupt/broken medical profession.

    Why should we have to provide care costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep terminally ill people propped up on life support? Why do MRI scans cost ten times more in this country than they do in Japan?

    Romney argued in Massachusetts that if they made insurance mandatory then they could fix the health care industry. Obama has made the same arguments about his national plan. I argue that they should fix the system before they mandate that people participate. The system is as broken as ever in Massachusetts and it will remain broken nationally. This is the government and private industry hijacking honest citizens.

  14. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    Your work supplied health care is part of the compensation you get for doing your job. It's part of your earnings. Wages would be driven upward if employers were not required/expected to spend $thousands/year on your behalf. So, yes, this is a tax on anyone who would rather take responsibility for his own care.

    You must pay money to private corporations or to the government. They love to talk about people needing to have more personal responsibility but when it comes right down to it, they want a nanny state that they can profit from.

    We've already had a similar system here in Massachusetts for a few years now (thanks a lot Romney). Based on that, I predict that healcare cost will rise, quality will decrease and insurers will get very, very rich.

    The bastards just fucked us over. That's what's happening.

    We jewboys always get a good laugh at mental defectives such as yourself. Hell, we even get some laughs about those crazy Nazis.

The harder you try to push us down, the higher we rise. Keep up the good work. We wouldn't be as powerful as we are today without people like you.
