If I understood you correctly you claim having to pay interest on loans is the cause why people default on their them, unless of course the central bank continuously loans more money to cover the "gap". I'm saying this doesn't take into account the fact that most of the time economies themselves grow and increase the wealth associated with them that is then used to pay the loans. Although the economy can't print money it can offset the "gap" by growing.
Money comes to existence when it's borrowed from _central_ banks and the interest paid to the central bank ensures that the money has to be invested. As for the idea that it's a pyramid scheme I think it's a bit ridiculous, it's like saying the ever increasing production of goods and services in the economy itself isn't real and the only thing that is real is money.
The value of money comes from the fact that it's the legal currency and people are allowed to themselves value it as they wish. I'd hate to think what would happen if we wen't back to gold standard (or something else); the amount of gold it'd require to "backup" the economy would hurt industries that actually use the stuff, central banks couldn't do squat in resessions and everything would hinge on this one element.
So are we going back to the habit of wearing silk gloves all the time now? I wouldn't mind that.
Silk gloves for fingerprints, beekeeper suit so as to not shed DNA in the wrong place, mask to obscure facial recognition and a wonky shoes to evade gait detection... Michael Jackson may have been sent from the future.
Note to self from the future: invest in stealth casual wear.

The stash is on the south pole and I'm assuming that's less than optimal for solar cells:
- wouldn't the tilt that causes winter and summer on the earth mean less/no sun half of the time there?
- a large array of panels areawise would be more difficult?
Never have had to think about solar cells on the moon's poles:)
Posting anonymously because some people are _incredibly_ opinionated on this subject, but not everybody has the opinion that everything linux related must be open source. Linus Torvalds, while a visionary and certainly one of the most technologically-minded people of our age, disagrees with this, and that's too bad. Just because Linus Torvalds thinks you're doing it wrong doesn't necessarily mean you are.
Cheers.
Afaik Linus Torvalds has admitted on this topic that proprietary is better than nothing at all so try again, I think he's asking for simple co-operation.
After a quick WHOIS search, and a bit of googling, I found that this is registered to an individual who worked in 2009 as a San Francisco Art Institute teaching assistant.
It's a joke site.
Now you tell me, I already enrolled Schrödinger's cat... not because I care about this overused meme, but because I've got money on the outcome.
I don't like the kind of crap where I login to gmail and then have google's search show "btw, we know who you are" so as a small mutiny I've switched to using chrome for gmail and for everything else it's opera or firefox.
I think the current recession proves that it is misguided to think it is all down to one sector of the economy.
The current recession was effectively created by the financial sector, otherwise it'd be over already. What they did was they leveraged some crappy loans into a global crisis and then they insured themselves by betting against those loans. The biggest heist in history was the fact that bailing out the insurance companies was basically the same as bailing out the institution who'd caused everything.
Atm. you cannot trust the financial sector, that's why we're still in this mess.
..."building an app graphically" is to "learning programming" what "using a calculator" is to "learning math." You've replaced an actual understanding of the underlying process with a bunch of buttons to be punched.
It's only still "programming" if you have the knowledge to do it without the tools, but not the time.
You've just summed up Google's whole business model.
A killer poke? Really?
If a driver bug can physically ruin hardware, the hardware is made wrong.
Killer overclock more like it. I had a laptop which in linux was just too hot to handle since as a default it ran the GPU/CPU at full speed. Now that isn't exactly overclocking, but I can understand a crappy driver running hw out of specs and at least shortening it's lifespan.
The figures from the ESA for spending by the ESA are inaccurate?!?
Comparing EU spending to the US by just mentioning ESA is inaccurate as there are a bunch of national space organizations with their own budgets and ESA is not EU's agency.
There's a lot of talk in the paper about "global" exploration of the moon. I can only assume that means they don't plan on increasing that.
ESA has 19 member countries and even some of them have space organizations of their own so the spending you cite is inaccurate. The EU actually has 27 member countries, 6 applicants for membership and additionally Switzerland and Norway are in ESA but not in the EU. Don't ask me how this correlates with the eurozone...
Less time that is; there's always a temptation to try and utilize all the bells and whistles in a programming language. Often this adds to complexity and makes the code harder to understand in one glance; polymorphism for example sucks if you only have sourcecode to figure out what's going on. I personally like C++, but I try to only use the parts which make life easier (and honestly stl for the most part is one of them, with a little study the basic stuff there goes a long way).
The UN don't get their money from (directly) taxing companies or people. The member states pay.
It's the usual FUD; basically people with no actual power saying things like "tax the rich" and conservatives in the US taking out extra orders for batshit crazy.
It makes me wonder how much of the 'missing mass' that we lump into the dark matter bucket is actually contained in bodies like this; bodies so massive that we can barely fathom their 'size'.
I'm gonna guess 'not much'. If there were a lot of them, every once in a while something would run into one, and believe me, we'd notice.
If there were lots of them then we'd also see them because of the gravitational lens effect they'd impart.

easy, make your own shapes, colors, dimensions and game play. instead of falling have them come in from all directions.
there have been so many Sim City/Civilization clones over the years and each one has been unique. it just takes a little work
I think you need to read the history of Tetris to understand the irony of the situation.

But did they scan him for the vampire gene?
From the looks of it I'd trust the "shows up in the mirror" -test more; also saves you a wooden stake or two in case there are mishaps at the lab.

Comparing EU spending to the US by just mentioning ESA is inaccurate as there are a bunch of national space organizations with their own budgets and ESA is not EU's agency.
The US is spending 25.7 billion (17.7 billion NASA, 8 billion for the military (GPS, etc)) on space in 2012
ESA spent 4 billion Euros (about $5 billion)... a total of 413 million EU on human space flight.
There's a lot of talk in the paper about "global" exploration of the moon. I can only assume that means they don't plan on increasing that.

Soulskill, why do you have to put the word "secret" in the title of TFA?
As if the project was done by some secret agency of the Chinese Communist Party, or something like that
It's a real estate development project, for crying out loud
And it's not only China that they are doing that
You go to India, and you will find towns that looks so much like what you get in England, with English bangalows and everything
Well, it's still a mystery why the Chinese want to bomb this Austrian village so bad they need a replica for target practice.
It makes me wonder how much of the 'missing mass' that we lump into the dark matter bucket is actually contained in bodies like this; bodies so massive that we can barely fathom their 'size'.

There'll probably just be a fatwa Pakistani style.
A bit more on the subject of "white guy window dressing".
When you can build two for double the money? Science won today my friends.
They're still building a one whole for double cost and triple uncertainty of will we ever get it to work at 100%.
Now I can have a tube amp in my mp3 player.
I'm a bit sceptical because of the blowhard advertising; how can they claim it works in outer space when we all know there's no sound in a vacuum.
Actually BSA thinks that all the PC users are pirates - but they are scared that if they tell the truth as it is, they'll look like loons
It might be more that admitting the reality of "all PC users are pirates" would make even regular people think the BSA are loons.
