Yes, the WPA built a lot of stuff. And it helped a whole lot of people. Now seen as a democratic/socialist/whatever thing, back then it kept people from starving. The part of Obama's stimulus plan that went into infrastructure was well spent. Tons of roads and bridges in PA have been overhauled (and they really needed it). Where the other money went, don't know about that impact.
But it really doesn't matter to those that are tied to their political stances- Bush could have cured cancer and Obama could have invented fusion (and by this, I mean they personally did it); both would have been derided by the other side of the aisle.
I'd go with "Yucky." Self deferential. (What, like Yahoo! or Bing are awesome?) Or maybe Yoggyso, if they can get away with it. (What, like Google makes sense?)
Merck Germany says it had "an agreement" with Facebook for the name. Later Merck America was running the page. No where in TFA does it says Merck G is suing Merck A, only Facebook. Once again TFS screws up the headline on TFA.
You just hit the nail on about a 1,000 different subjects. It's always about power and money. Does anyone think that politician's really care about the environment, besides a few? If something bad happens, they'll be the first protected. As long as you can pick the correct set of agendas and speak well publicly, you too can be a politician!
There was a 2 part sci-fi story that covers this. Greg Bear's "Forge of God" and "Anvil of Stars." First book blows up Earth, 2nd book humans blow up bad guys (with help from the good aliens). Unfortunately is these books, the realization lasted for at least a few days before boomtime.
How about the salt plains where they do the testing for jet cars? Middle of the Mojave desert? Detroit? (OK, the last one was mean) Easter Island would be cool, you could dress up the coils to look like Moai. Hell of a tourist attraction. "Come see our lightning God-statues."
Yeah, I think the whole downfall started with Bonnie. Wasn't she the one that kicked Bab5 off to TNT (or somebody?)? There was also another really bizarre reason given back then why they were changing the name. Something about bringing in non-geeks while trying to keep the geeks and blah blah... The mental backflips they were doing on that one was amazing. Once SyFy put wrestling on, I gave up. I watch Eureka, but only because I find it funny. The science may be bad, but I prefer a bad science joke than the usual sitcom jokes about people getting into "wacky situations." For the ex-show actors, ever notice how they have maybe 10 minutes of screen time? 3 days work for a paycheck isn't a bad deal.
I watch them for their B-movie/Ed Wood flair. Since I can't stand what is considered comedy now a days, I find SyFy (that name gets worse every time I type it) movies fill that comedy gap. Especially if I can get my wife to watch one with me so we can mock the "science." Her favorites are the various shark movies, as she is a big shark fan (as in real sharks, not movies). She did almost beat me when I lured her in about another "shark movie," while neglecting to tell her the name was "Sharktapus." Heh, it was worth it.
On the other hand, older factories that were wiped out can upgrade to current equipment. Helpful for the future. Still going to be a pain for the next few years, though.
I generally see prices drop around Christmas time. Lower margin but higher sales. Often just so companies can post a shareholder-friendly quarter. After Christmas it could be just trying to shovel stock out the doors.
This is off topic of the article, but you post made me wonder something. I wonder if contracts still use the phrase "acts of God" in their terminology. Both here and in the world, there are many individuals & groups that have no belief in God. Not being a contact lawyer, if a contact has that phrase, but you (singular or plural) do not believe in God, does that make it a disputable clause? Maybe it is spelled as specifics (tsunamis, monsoons, earthquakes, etc)?
Would they let you buy them 1 at a time, or do they track customers purchases to limit drive sales? I honestly don't know, and it would be annoying and inefficient to you, but maybe that could be a work-around?
"He said that in making the decision about the code, he was concerned not about Novell but about one element of the program that could have caused computers to crash."
Out of the jabillion things that made 95 crash, he just happened to focus on the one thing that was not in-house? Not that Novell is looking any better.

If we cut out the 1,000s of agencies that overlap each other, there would be no government deficit.
With that last mangled sentence I'm not even sure what your endpoint is.
So if someone uses Gimp instead of Photoshop, all that Photoshop money goes... nowhere? Poof?

I wish I had mod points.

Fool, they are also in France!

(Oh, such a horrible, horrible movie)
Never watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force? You want those 2 pixelated morons to get a hold of that?
On the serious side, yeah, safer on the moon.
Or more to the point, New Jersey.
Bingo!
My wife, who does loans and such at a bank, will occasionally come home with interesting stories about people's credit checks.

This one is even more nutsy- no poles, just the suit. It really has to be disconcerting when the lightning is hitting his head.
Actually, I think the lightning monster was from the artificial black hole movie. Yes, I do enjoy watching these crappy movies. :D

I thought "Sharktapus" was a documentary!
I thought they just found a big mine in Australia that has a nice load or rare earth deposits.
