You can develop in Python too if you want. Hell, you can write bash scripts if you want... Which makes it an intriguing multi purpose mobile computing device which can talk to anything.
You just can't buy one if you are in UK, Germany, USA etc. Wonder why.
This argument is silly, the Fed's chief goal is market stability, and sustained growth.
No you simply have no idea what you are talking about, and have contradicted yourself within a single sentence but are nevertheless quite happy to expound your ignorance to the rest of the world.
You think government insurance for deposits creates moral hazard[1]?
WTF do you think the lender of last resort facility of the Federal Reserve causes?
Banks are inherently unstable, they run at 20->50 times leverage. Small losses can wipe them out. They can only do this because they are backstopped by the US Government to the tune of trillions.
The money is almost universally invested locally, so you benefit from improved local facilities. It reduces investment in outsourcing countries like India and China which means less competition. the interest rates on your loan to the Credit Union typically have higher interest rates than large banks.
I would have said the risks are higher but given the way the big banks are blowing up I don't think so.
build your app from source to package (rpm/deb/whatever),
which get dumped into a repository,
it gets tested, promoted to production repository,
then your configuration management system (cfengine/puppet
/whatever) installs and configures your app on your versioned test VM from scratch,
the successfully tested VM is turned into a template image and gets promoted to production.
Your template image (e.g. qemu master image) gets booted on your production environment and
managed by a separate (production) config management instance which manages only those variables which are required to run the VM at different sites/locations/environments. Typically a few hundred bytes.
Some of those steps are already done for you if you have pre built software. It gives you:
completely repeatable installation of your apps, internal or external from source to service.
trivial roll back in the event of screw up, just use the old image.
No dependencies to manage in production. No need to worry about library or other OS updates because you tested it, didn't you.
Keeps development in development, configuring apps is service development. Security updates are service development. Performance tweaks are service development.
Minimises the amount of state (config changes/management) managed in production.
Huge scalability. Just start another instance of the image.
Efficient use of resources. One image, many VMs.
Stop thinking development ends when the source builds to an executable. Today we develop services not applications. That means you should be able to build all the way to a running service, preferably to a versioned file which can provide that service when it is booted.
But that's the point innit. The app store is full of Fart Apps. When The Cloud makes it trivial for anyone to create a Cloud Service, there will be half a million Fart Services.
You lose money on your Fart App? Great, that's exactly how life should be.
The US total debt is around 50 trillion US M2 money supply around 9.5 trillion.
The 9.5 clearly cannot pay the 50. You may be able to pay the interest, and the principal of the 50 in 100 years if new larger debts are created, kicking the can down the road which means there's more credit around to pay the old debts (this is what they call growth) but current debts are not payable from the current money supply.
The US monetary system is a grow or die one. You either inflate or you collapse. Right now. No growth. Which means lots of people and businesses are going to collapse.
And 3 lines further down on the same page. You get a percentage of the price which is subsidised.
Oil & Gas 0.5% Coal 6.9% Solar 12%
As I said. Sans subsidies it takes decades to pay back the capital costs of a solar installation.
Go on, run the figures yourself.
How much does your heat & electricity cost per year? How much is the capital cost of an installation to satisfy your requirements? How many years would it take to pay the cost of solar from the difference between the price of grid and the "free" energy?
Not a good investment. Even worse if the money is borrowed to fund the installation.
This is largely what is already in place, though the web has long since gone mobile and your client systems are mobile phones with limited battery life, limited CPU and display capabilities.
You also need "architects" who are not complete morons.
There are also problems with trust etc, the client cannot be trusted once it's running on the user's computer which means your protocols are opened up to inspection and your servers potentially to abuse.
More bonds (from the *Treasury*) means larger supply of bonds relative to demand which means lower bond prices and higher yields. The Fed keeps prices up and yields down by *creating new money from nothing*, buying the bonds from the Primary Dealers. Thereby increasing the money supply, increasing inflation, reducing interest rates, pushing up asset prices, funding the Federal deficit and keeping the Too Big To Fail banks in business.
The default behaviour of a debt based monetary system is inflationary boom followed by deflationary collapse. It is only through continued (exponential) expansion of the money supply (more debts) which prevents the collapse. i.e. Lower and lower interest rates. They call this growth.
Inflation moves wealth towards asset holders and away from cash holders. To benefit from the system you have to be in early at the bottom. It requires infinite growth to function and if/when growth stops, it all collapses with the latecomers holding worthless/devalued assets.
Classic pyramid scheme. I don't think you need any conspiracy, just a lack of conscience, and greed.
What I find amusing is that the OWS crowd know they are being taken for a ride, know they are losing out but have no idea how the system works or what exactly they are protesting against, their complaints are all very vague, when in fact it is money itself. It pretty much guarantees they'll get shafted again.
It is accurate to the second, the battery lasts something like 10 years.
It has never failed me. I really can think of another piece of advanced technology I can say that about. It has to be the single best technology purchase i've ever made.
Why would I want an operating system? Are you totally insane?

This could not be described as stability
Hope you've got an easy way to get all your data back and can unhook all your applications cleanly.
Google are cutting costs in advance of the onrushing double dip. Jobs will be next.
This is what'll happen to any "cloud" service which isn't making money. Utility computing, you don't pay enough you get cut off. Live with it.
Every car will become a taxi. Every taxi can make 40+ journeys per day.
You only need 1/40th of the number of cars.

Congratulations!
This simply means that the nature of banking has to change.
The word you are looking for is depository.
Or full reserve banking.

HTH.
"It's finally getting to the point where an average homeowner can break even on an investment in solar."
Yeah, enough subsidies from the government you might be able to afford it as well.
Sans subsidies, a decade or more.

Money is the medium of exchange. That's it.
It is the most liquid commodity. Sometimes that is cigarettes. Sometimes it is bits of printed paper. Sometimes it is debt. Sometimes gold.
What are you talking about?

Here is the inflationary bubble in action guess what comes next.
This is why they keep banging on about confidence and growth. Haven't you observed the last few decades?
Inflation moves wealth towards asset holders and away from cash holders.
To benefit from the system you have to be in early at the bottom.
It requires infinite growth to function and if/when growth stops, it all collapses with the latecomers holding worthless/devalued assets.

It pretty much guarantees they'll get shafted again.
I don't think it can.
In fact it could probably be described as maximum acceleration.
My point is that to much debt, too much confidence caused the financial crisis. More will not solve the problem it just makes it bigger.
It is accurate to the second, the battery lasts something like 10 years.
It has never failed me. I really can think of another piece of advanced technology I can say that about. It has to be the single best technology purchase i've ever made.

The debt has grown at an exponential rate of around 9% per year for the last 4 decades. Republicans or democrats.
