If I actually need a job by the time I'm in my 50s, I'll have screwed up royally somewhere. Compound interest and dollar cost averaging are your friends. You really can take responsibility for your own life.
That was such an outrageous thing to say, I decided to actually do the math. Assuming that:
1) You started to save at 25. (Most people don't) 2) You expect to live until 85. 3) You want to retire at 55 4) A real growth rate of 5%, which is generous. (Real growth is growth after inflation. See http://www.internet2.edu/~shalunov/stock-market/ for historical examples)
You'd have to save and invest 26% of your income to retire and maintain your existing lifestyle. With a 4% real growth rate, which is very possible if our economy loses several high paying jobs, you're looking at needing to save 36% of your income.
Let me get this straight? The company is outsourcing to India to save money, but is allowing everyone to move to India and continue at the same salary?
Until they've trained Indians, then they'll be let go. Otherwise no, it doesn't make sense.
The book was written in the 80s, and has overtones of an upcoming and inevitable nuclear war between the USSR and the USA. The entire plot of the book is based around it.
IF they try and "adapt" it and make it have something to do with terrorism or whatever... DONE: The movie will suck. No need to read further.
They need to make it an alternate history, along the lines of "What would the world be like today, IF..."
They need to make it clear that if the US _did_ have Dr. Manhattan on its side, the level of tension around the world would have skyrocketed, insuring that the Soviet Union would never have collapsed.

I'm not making fun of you. What you said was completely accurate, but when you're dealing with clueless people, you need to speak simply and plainly. "holy pengiun pee?" C'mon.

Your most recent article regarding the upcoming linux fork may be confusing to your readers. The current version of Linux is 2.6. As new enhancements and bug fixes are developed and tested, they are added to this 2.6 kernel. This is similar to the way Microsoft puts out service packs on their current version of the Windows XP operating system.
When significant or cutting-edge features are added, the team in charge of maintaining the linux kernel needs to decide whether to "fork" the kernel to a new version. Again, this is similar to how Microsoft made decide to put a new feature into Longhorn instead of patching it in to Windows XP in a service pack.
Forking simply means that a new release of Linux is being actively prepared.
For $130, you can plug it in anywhere in your house, and play anything that iTunes can play from any computer. As a bonus, its also a 802.11g extender and printer server.
Today, he is living near Santa Cruz in a small 1000 square foot house costing $2500 per month. He has two kids and pulling in $40k per year. He cannot even buy a house since even the junky houses are a half-million -> high mortgage payment.
I don't get stories like this. $2500 for a house is $30,000/year in payments, which is close to his income after taxes. So close, there is no way he could afford electricity, fuel, etc.
I don't see how this could last longer than a few months before bankruptcy.
They may have called them "fines" but don't imply that there is any law at work here, other than the language of whatever contract the outlet has with the distributor.
Usually its something like: "If you ever want to sell our games again, pay this additional $X fine"
I'm not ashamed to be an American, but I'm embarassed for our country.
Its not even that Bush won.
Its that it is official: You can lie, mislead, and divide, and sucessfully win an election.
He's also the first president in many years (perhaps ever?) that won because he openly advocated limiting civil rights of an etnic group, and used it to divide the country.
When you saw people on CNN saying that their primary concern was "moral values", that was just code for "we REALLY don't like gay people."
It wasn't really in people's minds until he brought it forward and made it an issue.
"A vote for Kerry is a vote for buttsex in our schools!"

It sickens me to think that people who never voted before said "Whoa, nothing else has mattered to me in the last 20 years, but the QUEERS WANT TO GET MARRIED! Jarlene, find me my votin' hat!"
A year ago, my wife and I moved from an apartment to our house.
A week later, we went and got our drivers licenses changed, and both registered.
I registered Green, she registered Republican.
A few months later, we both received our registration cards.
She voted this morning.
When I tried to vote, after waiting for two hours I was told that I wasn't on the rolls. 20 minutes later of me refusing to leave, especially since I had my voter registeration card, they told me that I was registered at my old address.
Which is garbage, because I _never_ registered to vote at my old address.
Evidently, this is pretty common. Now i'm expected to say "Gosh, i'm not going to wait another two hours to vote. I have to get to work."
Well fuck them, i'm voting after work today. I don't care if i'm there for 6 hours.
I'm still disenfranchised, as I cannot vote for my local representatives.
I've never voted anything but Republican my whole life (including voting for Bush in 2000),
I know at least 10-15 people like you, (including myself), who voted for Bush in 2000 that are voting for Kerry in 2004. I do not know ANYONE that voted for Gore in 2000 that is voting for Bush now.
That alone gives me confidence that Kerry will win the election.
The candidates engaged in an act of civil disobedience, which in my opinion was justified. I applaud the fact that they were willing to experience the discomfort of being arrested in protest of the restrictive two party system.
However, the fact they were arrested isn't an indicator of a fascist government conspiracy. The area was restricted for security, and they crossed a police barricade.
There have been many frightening things done to people in this country post 9/11 in the name of security, but this wasn't one of them.
Notice how they've cleverly begun confusing "file sharing" with "copyright violation".
This is just moving towards a time where they can pass a law saying that all ISPs must block all ports besides port 80, and all ports registered with the FCC for valid, licensed use, like AOL Messenger and Windows Media.

She is a self-taught FPGA programmer. There is a world of difference, the former is impossible, the latter is trivial.
I wouldn't call it trivial, but yeah... when I read "Self-Taught Chip Designer", I was surprised.

Okay then, why not use skip-ahead 30 seconds button or random-access? Oh, TiVo doesn't have that either.
Wrong.
During playback, on your remote, press:
Select - Play - Select - 3 - 0 - Select
and you'll have 30 second skip on your tivo until it loses power for whatever reason.
If you want to track people, why not just tattoo a bar code on the forehead.
And Bush causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save [except] he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Despite owning a few key apps (Photoshop, LightWave, Maya)
"I'm not much of an artist, but own several thousand dollars of specialized apps"
wind power will still adjust the earth's climate with the equatorial regions warmed while the arctic grows colder.
Then we'll simply increase our output of greenhouse gasses to even it out. Once again, as we learned from Jurassic Park, nature finds a way!

But only if you're voting for Kerry. If you plan on voting for Bush, hey, don't bother waiting in line.
Jesus will make sure that Bush wins, don't you worry.

Blame the NFL, content providers, etc. Do you expect Tivo to say "FUCK YOU WORLD, WE'Z DOING IT OUR WAY!" They'd be sued out of existance.
No big deal about the porn link. I aleady had an erection from reading that article about the Bush campaign site being blocked from outside the US.
I've never voted anything but Republican my whole life (including voting for Bush in 2000),

This is exactly what patents are supposed to prevent. Why are you guys giving them so much crap for doing something about it?
Well, for one hand, they didn't tell the first LCD panel manufacturer "Hey, stop doing that immediately!"
They waited for LCD popularity to grow large enough, and for enough companies to be involved, so they could get major cash at the end.
Notice how they've cleverly begun confusing "file sharing" with "copyright violation".
