    Aw jeeze.... ever heard of figures of speech?

    Anyhow, the guy you reply two included 3rd party libraries in that figure. I would say he is not that far of the mark: one order of magnitude is more apropriate, but still, thats "an order of magnitude" larger.

  2. This is idiotic on Recovery.gov To Get $18 Million Redesign · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Whomever is purchasing this is a plain idiot: there is NO WAY a site costs that much.

    I mean, guys, the horrid system for paying taxes in Mexico is only two million more expensive than what they are attempting here and hey, the mexican system sort-of works (it has to: gov only takes taxes through the site nowdays).

    That one is also hugely overpriced, but also my country has very poor transparency in government spending: we expect this kind of things to happen here in thirdworldland: are you guys heading this way?

    If so, as a fellow citizen of the world, I bid you: TURN AROUND NOW.

    Demand, regardless of partisanship, to know exactly how and in what is all that and all other money being spent.

    Demos did it very well with halliburton (and now THATS money: 20 mil is chump change for those guys), reps should drive this one to the last consequences accordingly: without a vigilant opposition, democratic governments cannot be called that anymore.

    Okay:

    Go to your HEB, buy some nutmeg (indian NUTS), grind 7 grams of them, eat that, youll be seeing green lizards turning into cowgirl cheerleaders for a while and then, of course, your brain will be mush, but my point will be proven.

    There are many, many ways to get high legally, although this "highs" might not be as comfortable as the more, say, traditional ones.

    Well, follow the contrast my friend: the other guy says that she makes a perfect case for "post-birth-adoption".

    Im saying that their parents dont seem angry, ill or fed up with their child but on the contrary, they seem to enjoy a good family life together.

    So if they are happy, they should continue to live happily and not provide some nutcases with arguments in favor of post-birth-abortion (I mean, this guy advocates for... murder! sheeze).
