Assisted driving technology, such as ABS and similar things are good. Cameras, radar and such only keep idiot drivers from having to pay attention. Blind spots? Most can be avoided by using a simple shoulder check. Self parking cars? Your a damn idiot. Performance and handling of a car are much more important than being able to plug your ipod into your car and being able to find the nearest restaurant. Live dangerously and drive down the road and see what is there!
Most people don't know how to use Google though. When I hear a complaint about poor results I will try to look over their shoulder to see what they do, way too often they don't use + or - and they don't read the url to see if it looks good or if it's possible crap.
Right vs left, no difference other than an opposite stance on various issues it's all really generic. Any politician that has enough crap together to have a real plan(good or bad) will soon come to realize the only way to carry it out would be a dictatorship and either go for it or forget about it. I sure wish Hungarians the best though.
Ah but isn't the point trying to bad that electric lights does not make for life changing evolution? I mean seriously, the industrial revolution was well under way before electric lights were around.
If I had points I'd mod ya up, how is it I can buy a quad core AMD, dual 6850 cards and an asus crosshair IV MoBo and the pereferals, and keep it under 1k when so called gaming machines are crap at 1300 bucks? It's almost to the point that the only reason to buy one of those crap pc's is for a cheap case and copy of windows!
The owner should pay for the upgrades, that is why we pay them a premium every month. This would be like being a member of a gym with unlimited access to all the equipment, but then the place becomes popular, except now the club is refusing to buy more machines and instead allowing only certain people to use certain equipment and complaining.
If I pay for unlimited whatever, it better damn well be unlimited !
Wow, I remember taking spelling classes in elementary school. In English spelling has everything to do with what you are writing, as the wrong form of a word can imply a different meaning just as punctuation makes a difference. I shudder to think how the sciences will be further butchered. Working in land survey and performing and needing to know various simple trig formulas I am amazed when I see someone who can't even understand why a particular number comes from the magic adding machine. Anyways, off topic!
I think I get what your saying, but when is money saved and not put to some use, like investments? If you have no payments you can do alot of things with your money.
I would beg to differ on it working. FDR, then Reagan blew lots of money, and now we are back in the same position economically. Our debt is privatized and when we print more money without removing any we dilute the dollar. Money creation is tied to debt simply because the US Dollar is not backed by anything tangible. Unfortunately our duly elected representatives are either too stupid or well paid for and will not vote for any real change (with a few minor exceptions). As for paying off the debt, a nice thought but I really do not think it would ever happen with ANY group in office. The debt matters and we should knock it off, eliminate The Fed and oust the corrupt politicians. And buy unicorns too.
I did the turk thing for a couple days, and you nailed it. Sometimes a job would pop up reviewing someone else's work. I quit though because being offered pittance to do some tasks that take time, then having the person take the work and not pay (you have no control of that) or decide to sit on it for a few weeks, well it's crap.
You make it seem like the Democrats have something better, I mean yeah I guess it does suck to agree with people who have money and know how to keep it when you can side with a group of people who cry foul when things don't go there way, and of course that same group likes to tax the snot out of you to pay for "social equality" or some other hippy crap. You are the one slitting your own throat and being brainwashed.
Well look at it this way, if Walmart can sell item X for 200 dollars and still make money, why does some other big box like Best Buy feel the need to charge 300 dollars for that same item? Service and knowledge are equally shit, the items are the same, only the profit has been increased to feed the greedy. All this will serve to do is hurt those businesses that bemoan their poor revenue while jacking prices up beyond anything reasonable. OF course, if the stores would negotiate on the prices it could save them too. My local computer store has the highest price on parts for a new build, if they would give a discount for buying everything there (~1,000 bucks) I would go with them, but because they don't negotiate they lose out to the internet stores.
Ugh, I have to laugh when I need to get something there that my local guy doesn't have. Just looking at hard drive enclosures at least 150% more cost. I was surprised they had a blu ray player for one dollar more than walmart though.
I would think he is referring to installing some programs that by default want to install X brand toolbar. It's small, but irritating as heck when I just want ONE thing that I downloaded, not X Y and Z products too.
I've run into the same issues. The biggest factor I see is not blind spots but mirrors so dang small they are practically useless. From an aesthetic standpoint the smaller mirrors look nice, but combine those with people too busy texting and too stupid to drive and you have complaints about blindspots (turn your damn head!) and crying for cameras in the back of vehicles. Boo fuckin hoo.

2,000 pounds is one ton, so the ball used to weigh 0.2 tons. I wonder how the hell you get a ball with some damn lights to weigh that much....
Actually most welfare goes to businesses.

Autodesk is quite helpful and has a student version. As well, Autodesk is quite nice to pirates, buy it or your up a creek.

Mod parent up for remembering a semi decent ghetto movie and making fun of the main actor!

Check reality for your citation.
Ok, I'll be waiting for 30% of your income then, please send a check every week.

Somebody didn't read at the right grade level or higher!
Debit cards with visa/mc etc logo are the same as credit cards, meaning they have the same fraud protection. CC companies are more of a threat.

Did you miss the 2008 election cycle? The media already has too much political power in how the gave unbalanced coverage to the various candidates!
