Wright was completely racist. Just listen to what he says. If I were to say that I love all people but hate Black America wouldn't I still be a racist?
Having legitimate criticisms of America does not entitle you to preach hate.
My point wasn't about the Laffer curve directly (although the Heritage people's was). I was trying to point out that tax cuts encourage growth rather than high taxes.
A big problem I have with higher taxes is that the government inevitably "redistributes" a good chunk of the money to the already rich. As far as I can tell this is just a result of human nature. It happens in every economic system the world has known on a large scale. It's not even limited to humans: imagine a pack of lions as the government and the quick female as the strong earner. Who gets the best of the meat? The big male. In other words I don't believe government redistribution, in practice, is any more fair than ordinary capitalist distribution; it's just that the mechanism for getting your share changes from producing valuable labor to bullying others.
F&F were buying subprimes in 1999. If you wanted to compete with them you had to have the same standards. It was difficult because the implicit (at the time) government guarantee of their solvency made their cost of borrowing lower than anybody else. Therefore you might look to even riskier loans to make a buck.
No the real trick is that government convinced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to be willing to buy them, thus making it profitable (at least temporarily) for the banks to make those loans and leaving us with the bill. Of course there's an element of greed involved but bad government policy helped a lot.
Don't discount the role of the mortgage interest deduction. Lenders aren't the only ones who are greedy.
Half the population is deluded and thinks that kids are not expensive hobbies but in fact little bundles of joy that God creates at His leisure. We will be forever subsidizing the over-breeders until people's attitudes about children change.
Which is great until the Bush tax cuts expire and inflation drives you to the AMT. That's why Obama keeps pimping the 2009 numbers.
Not to mention the fact that he has no plan for how he's going to up the tax money that will inevitably lost. Yes, that's right. When you raise taxes you only initially get more money. As time goes on tax revenue is reduced. Hasn't anyone ever played Sim City?
Recognizing that high tax rates were hindering the economy, President Kennedy proposed across-the-board tax rate reductions that reduced the top tax rate from more than 90 percent down to 70 percent. What happened? Tax revenues climbed from $94 billion in 1961 to $153 billion in 1968, an increase of 62 percent (33 percent after adjusting for inflation).
Why do corporations even pay taxes? When a corp. makes money one of three things happens. They either invest it in capital, keep it in the bank, or pay dividends. In the first case, why should we give them less to invest in capital? Jobs are good. In the second case, the money is eventually going to come out one of the other two ways. Dividends are taxed as income to the shareholders.
In fact, some corporations don't pay taxes, but they can't be publicly traded which limits their utility.
Where do you get that from? As far as I can tell they just get a pension based on their previous salary and years worked. You know just like all other federal employees.
Um I can only find one cocaine trafficker they pardoned. While it's not fair that he got pardoned and some others did not, it was well known that Clinton in general opposed the sentencing laws this guy was convicted under. Besides Clinton never took money from that guy; Antonio Villaraigosa is one whose head should've rolled for that. But this is Los Angeles so they just elected him mayor.
About on access scanning: this study indicates that the average time it takes to write, open, and close a file with AV software active is 180ms or so. With some software it can be far worse, up to 900ms. So yeah if you enjoy turning your 1TB hard disk into a giant 3.5" floppy bring on the AV.
Um last time that was posted here on/. the response from most people was that making their limits explicit rather than advertising "unlimited" while threatening and banning heavy users was a step in the right direction.
I doubt it. If you go to a website you are the one requesting the ads, even if you don't really intend to. A better analogy is that you send google a GOOG411 message and the response contains a text ad. I don't think google actually does this but if they did it would be perfectly legal.
Fluoride is beneficial within a fairly narrow dosage range. Get more or less than the expected amount and YMMV. Considering that fluoride is present in vitamin and toothpaste in addition to water these days, it's not unreasonable to assume that some people are getting excess fluoride for some combination of these. It's not fear mongering to question whether the amount of fluoride in tap water is excessive.
This thing would be a lot cooler if it had NO (air) fans whatsoever, but I imagine the problem will be the same as I've had trying to build pump-and-tube systems with no fan: something has to cool the radiator. They mentioned something about a peltier cooler in the future. I hope they find a way to make that work.
There are a couple of easy solutions to the problem you're talking about that don't involve preventing people from sharing saved games. Most obvious is to just insist that there aren't those sorts of bugs in savegame code. That's a bit impractical, though. You could, however, provide a common save game API that eliminates common errors.
Microsoft uses a combination of code signing, a hypervisor, and hardware security features like the NX bit to make running unauthorized code extremely difficult. That's probably the way to go these days.
I'm just wondering what the advantage of this thing is versus non-submersed liquid cooling.
1) Noise? They said it's quiet "for so much hardware." Yeah well considering what a normal three GPU system sounds like that's not saying a whole lot. A good pump-and-block cooled setup can run around 25 dBa which is something like a whisper at 6 feet. In both cases you still need a couple of fans running, so I imagine non-cooling factors will dominate noise.
2) Performance? The article says cooling probably won't exceed the best liquid cooled setups that focus on the CPU/GPU.
It certainly is a cool idea, but I think I'd rather pay for a normal liquid cooled setup.

Umm the right right wing and left wingers were always against the bailout genius. It was the centrist morons that passed it.

McCain would supposedly extend the Bush tax cuts. He's also more likely to fix AMT so it does what it was intended to do.
Unless he fixes the AMT he will in fact be raising taxes on people who make 250k a year.
Found this from the heritage foundation:

It's a marginal thing, but people really do work less when you tax them more. It's just a fact so let's not argue about it on /.
Corporate tax credits?

Last I heard the election was pretty close. Does he get to serve from prison?

Yeah but it would be bad for someone trying to save on bandwidth because you often have to reload sites before they will work.

I don't believe in protests (for religious reasons)
There's a religion that doesn't believe in protests? Which one is that?
