Sounds about right. One of the assumptions for decades, even centuries, is that a collective of irrational actors evens out on the large scale to "appear" rational. This still persists publicly, I don't know if modern economists still believe that. See also, "the invisible hand".
Not only that, the money was lent almost completely without strings or controls, and lent back to the governments rather than used to lend to people and businesses.
The CE thing has nothing to do with hating agriculture, that assertion is pretty odd, I don't know how you arrive at that conclusion. It's about getting away from referring to God every time you write a date, namely, Anno Domini and Before Christ.
Even many Christians don't believe Jesus was born on Dec 25. They often think of it is Jesus' birth observed. Besides, a star that lines up with the sun every year would contradict the story a bit. If it happened every year, the Magi wouldn't have had any reason to travel on account of that star, because they'd already know it happened every year.
If you don't mind buying from the other of Slashdot's Great Satans, Sony ICFC707 Clock Radio has an aux input, large time display and no Apple dock. I don't know about great speakers though.
Owned by the ESA, but maybe using components, modules and satellites contracted to the private sector? At least that's what the US system is like, the government buys things, but businesses make the actual equipment and hardware under contract to NASA, ESA, etc.
It's sad, but what you say has a loud ring of truth to it. Somehow, the idea that America is an empire is too heretical to say, even though it is for most intents and purposes. It seems like the only thing we don't do is directly tax other countries. I suppose it's done in other ways, such as unbalanced trade deals and such.
Yes, a lot of received calls in the US cost money, which is one reason why there were protections against marketers cold calling cell phones. If you have a prepay account, it goes against your tally, and minutes go against your plan if you have a contract.
Moneyed interests have been controlling US government in the 1800s. One big one was late 1800's was an overthrow of Hawaii's government by white businessmen and later, Hawaii was made a territory by the US government.
Actually, one of Ike's original rationalizations for the "National Interstate and Defense Highways Act" is... defense. It's not so much anymore.
Any pension and health care for armed service members deserves to be in the defense spending. Splitting it off is one of the ways used to make the defense budget seem smaller.
Intelligence is used for national security to i.e. defense.
I don't understand why that should be necessary. The DJIA is a weighted system, if they think AAPL's price is too heavy, give it a weight that's less than one. They alter a company's weighing to follow when an indexed stock splits (or reverses a split), so it doesn't change the DJIA figure.
It's really the shareholders that add pressure for profitability, but the trend towards increased profitability in the recent decades is create a short term "gain" when they cut R&D. One problem is that they're cutting future viability when they can't make products over the future. I don't think companies should be catering to such demands because they're most likely made by people that don't bother to hold shares for any substantial period of time.
Unfortunately, the pendulum of "justice" is that you're liable for wrongdoing on your connection. So if someone accessed child porn on your unsecured network, you're going to go through a big headache defending yourself.
Which is somewhat karmic given that a lot of geeks defend hacking, that anyone with their door unlocked deserve to be robbed, i.e. the liability for poor or non existent security should be on the owner, not the hacker. Now we're seeing exactly that, the tables have now turned to what geeks in the past want.
I guess. You can get lunar astronaut's signatures for far less. I think I saw a photo of Eagle on the moon, with Buzz Aldrin's signature on it, available for $1700.
Yeah, but: why do these cables have active parts on both ends? Oh yeah, part of the "screw the customer" spec.
It might be out of line, but it might not be, it's really hard to tell given the performance. The cable is capable of handling at least 20Gbps, so it might actually be a necessity. It's the cheapest cable that can handle that kind of signal. The standard is supposedly going to allow 100Gbps in the next decade, a bit rate that may prove intractable in copper without active parts between the connectors. Optical connectors isn't proving to be practical yet, and it sounds like they'll have optical transceivers within the cable ends to make it a completely seamless swap from 2 meters to 100 meters.
The statements by the HDMI rep are somewhat contradictory to that idea, though maybe it was just poor communication. How a rep whose job is to communicate to the public did a poor job of communication, I don't know, that's just sad. They said it had to be an HDMI connector on both ends of the cable. Unless somehow DVI is also considered an HDMI connector, but I don't know how that works, especially given that it breaks compatibility with the standard.
As an aside, the video signal portion of HDMI is a bit more than just single link DVI. Even at the start, they offered additional color spaces. Now, they offer higher bit rates than offered in single link DVI, to allow for higher resolution TVs (4k horizontal dots, 2k vertical dots), higher refresh rates, bit depths and 3D. I haven't seen a lot of that used much just yet, but it is there.
It's a shame you don't elaborate on the specifics of your lament, some of which I might guess, but it's hard to comment on assumptions of your reasoning.
The original intention was far more, they thought they could get 100 out of each one and fly a lot more often. That didn't work though, for several different reasons. It would have been nice to have a more orderly transition to something else. I'm disappointed that Constellation never flew outside of the test of Ares I-X. I suppose that wasn't going to work out anyway, I-X costed too much. Space development is somewhat calcified, they had designed three different series of space capsules and at least four manned rockets in the ten years up to the moon shot. The STS ran for thirty years.
Most people lost the raffles. I was really hoping for causeway tickets, as the view from the Visitor's Center and Astronaut HOF seem disappointing, not much better than some of the surrounding areas because you don't see the thing leave the pad except on a low resolution jumbotron.
I had hoped to be there, but I needed to finish a major project in a timely manner before trying again to watch a launch.
Maybe things will settle down so I can go see the launch of the Curiosity rover in November.
OK, I like the Microsoft one with each division battling each other. Maybe Oracle's lawyer-happy org is a dig at their lawsuits. I don't really get the humor in the other charts.
Which is kind of silly, given that the internet is right there to look things up, turboprop is very well defined. Whether turboprop craft are jetliners appears to be ambiguous. It looks like probably not, but I have nothing to be certain.

Nova's Mind Over Money certainly covers this thinking, showing it's really a fantasy assumption:

Maybe because that's a lame and implausible cover?

I wish my own computer had that feature.
I think I know of a rent-to-own chain that has them available.
Yep, "normal" people probably wouldn't think twice about it. They probably wouldn't do research either.

I think HP is still supporting OpenVMS through 2012.
I keep XP because 7's UI is generally clumsier. Mind you, 7 does have some nice things but they aren't must-have features yet, in my opinion.

I noticed Amazon's binary tree, but I don't understands how that connects to Amazon's practices.
