  1. Re:my employer on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    Well, aside from it not being very nice(i.e. selling out your fellow man)....what is the downside of exporting work to India? They may not be as productive, but because they are so damn cheap to employ, you can just hire more. I know it may seem heartless, but if you looked at it from a PURELY business standpoint, what other choice is there? The point of business, at the heart of it, is to turn as big a profit as you can.

    Its the profit profit profit profit profit profit profit profit (mushroom mushroom...)

  2. How can.... on 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How can Fallout 3 be vaporware if it was never offically announced? We only learned of it when the news came out that the BIS team had been canned....

    maglev seems to be all but dead in the United States

    Virginia Tech has plans (and private funding) for a mag lev train around campus....it would seem its not wholey dead. Although, I dont see the point of a train on our campus, its not THAT far from end to end. I guess transporting mass amounts of people for football games would be useful though.....all 8 or so times per year.

    Mozilla is a free open source web thingy. I use it. I enjoy the tabbed thingys too....

    If we went to talk about a truly DOCCUMENTED birth of flight, just look at da Vinci. Talk about an engineer.....this guy was creating solutions to problems that wouldnt exist for 100's of years. His parachute comes to mind....

    Yeah, the jokes really on them. While you laugh at them from your parent's basement, they are snuggling into a first class seat on their way to a months vacation in Tuscany. Woah nelly, I bet they feel DUMB!!

  7. Re:I couldn't agree more on President Bush To Call For Return To Moon? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Umm, the Fed is most certainly NOT owned by private banks. See, thats why private banks BORROW from the fed, and the interest rate the fed charges these banks is the basis for the intrest rates charged to consumers.

    And reading the rest of your comment, it is clear that you have no idea how the Federal Reserve System works.....or really anything financial. I'm glad to see your ignorance has led to an unhealthy fear of monetary systems and of, well, logic.

    Please take a basic Econ course at your local college.....for your own benefit and for that of people around you.

  8. a BOLD prediction on Cheap Linux Tablets, And (Maybe) An Apple Tablet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Apple's tablet will probably have some catchy yet mildly queer name (the Applet or something).....and it will, without a doubt, be THE most expensive tablet out there.

  14. The really funny thing is... on The Rise of Cyber Bullying · · Score: 1, Troll

    I could see this story happening another way.....a school invokes a policy where cruely making fun of another student would result in suspension......then a day later, we would have that little mouth taped up fellow icon detailing a story of how some stupid American school was stealing kids' free speach.

    Oh, and I'm sure the Bush admin would get blamed somehow too.....

    Isn't the next logical step after silicon diamond? Plenty of asian companies are already working on diamond based chips(remember, lab made diamonds are getting CHEAP and bigggeerrr)and if Intel and AMD don't get off their collective asses, they will no longer be the centers of the chip world.

    You are good all around man except the "Corporate Welfare" part.....so called corporate wellfare creates SO many jobs....my old company...they wanted to expand but didnt have the funds....got a "corporate welfare" grant.....to build a new facility.....they were able to hire 50 or so new people (all technolgy jobs)......so not only did the tax base of the area grow (and that would pretty quickly give the state a good return on the welfare investment), but it brought good jobs to the area. And those good jobs spawned other good things in the area......and cycle goes in.....other stores open to support new people.....and so on
