Maybe the folks at MIT Media Lab with all the funding they get from the US government should be concerned with providing laptops to underprivilged children in Appalachia instead?? Of course that won't garner headlines that they so crave.
The way opinionated, blocks of posters/moderators hijack the discussion? This is more like something the nazis would pull of in the Berlin papers in the 1930's.
No kidding... I can only imagine the cabinet level meeting... "This guy tried to kill my daddy. You... there... boy with all the stars on his lapel... get this bad guy."
C'mon... these boys dress in shorts - year round in the snow belt - T-shirts with holes and paint stains, jeans with holes. Its disgusting... and their social skills match their dress.
Sheesh... the guy delivers with the "doom and gloom" monotone voice and every story he leads with some kind of life-threatening slant.
And he will always be remembered for his infamous interview of Annie Leibovitz on the evening of Sept 11, 2001 when he intentionaly goaded her to bash George Bush. His lengthy apologies to the staff and to the viewers the next day saved his ass.
The guy is a self-serving jerk. And his ratings reflect it.
There haven't been any new coal generating power plants built in the US in over 20 years. there are proposals for new facilities as well as coal gasification plants, but no construction has begun. The existing power facilities are operating at close to maximum capacity. Any new generation is from the newer and *much* smaller gas-fired plants. Of course, with the price of natural gas increasing now the pace of this new construction has slowed.
US is big exporter of mining EQUIPMENT to China. China has there own production and Shell has a contract to build 10 coal gasification plants in China. So, demand for US coal is NOT being driven by China.
And the cost of extracting a ton of coal hasn't changed much from 1995 to 2005. But it shows what a sham commodity trading is - the price of a ton of coal (because it is 'energy' related) is traded relative to the price of a barrel of oil or the cost of a cfu of natural gas.
All this does is further underline the boom/bust cycles of the energy business and how it negatively affects the economy.
"When they withdraw themselves to the cluture of a small piece of land, they will perceive how useless to them are the extensive forest and will be willing to pare them off in exchange for necessaries. We shall push our trading houses and be glad to see the good and influential invidvuals among them in debt, because we observe when these debts go beyond what they can pay, they will lop them off by a cession of their lands. But should any tribe refuse - it will be driven off across the Mississippi and the whole of their lands confiscated".

Look it up. Read the truth. Your liberal whacko ideals shot to hell again.
Ahh... c'mon. Some of their stuff is expensive - check out the kitchens next time your in the store. I can't see a college student spending that kind of money.
We have PeopleSoft with UDB and it is horrendous. At least an extra year in implementation. I'd say go Oracle, but with Oracle in the apps business, its probably broken thanks to SAP.
No wonder they were forced into Windows... what would be your choice? Linux and UDB? Wow... no thanks.

The director's *do* a lot of the surgery you dumb ass, why do you think they pay them the big $$? Stand around and consult? And the grunt work?? That is handled by the RESIDENTS, because it is exactly that. The difficult surgeries, you better believe the senior staff member is in the OR.
Or do you agree with their means of retaliation? Sure... go ahead and blow up a bus of innocent people and your neighborhood will have 5 cruise missles on target in the morning.
Go to Monroe County West Virginia. They've moved there en masse driving around in 15 year old beat-up Volvo's. And somehow they came up with the money to buy farmland? And do you wanna know what they are growing on the farmland? It ain't corn my friend.
Even the holier-than-thou Brits couldn't help themselves in trying to eliminate American Indians from the face of the earth. I'm sure the Independent won't be publishing an article anytime soon on that small detail of their illustrious history.

Explain this.

It's a self-perpetuating racket. Name another career which offers this?
Or does it recognize typos? And Leeb/Fulber were just trying to make a buck and they have said as much.

Check out some of old Tommy's quotes with regards to the native Americans. He was an extremist racist. He favored extermination. Nice guy, eh?

I once knew this hottie who was actually turned on by this guy who's face was disfigured by 3rd degree burns and the numerous skin grafs associated.
BTW, he was burned while commiting arson. Go figure....
So much for the conspiracy theory.
