No, I really think we need to outsource ignorant self-serving economic analysts.
Yes, natural job destruction leads to diversification. It leads to higher standards of livings and new jobs produced by NEW DEMANDS!!!!
Outsourcing is the same old supply side nonsense. They are sending jobs overseas for the mere sake of driving down wages domestically. As opposed to creating MORE demand, they create LESS!!!!!
The prices really don't go down that much, most of the money is kept by corporations to create "efficiency" and "shareholder value". The basic translation is the RICH GET RICHER and THE POOR GET POORER.
By their calculations, our peak of economic prosperity should be reached when people are paid NOTHING and we're all slaves. That of course is THEIR point that they never share. They really don't give a rip about you or me. They only care about themselves and the corporate beasts that they THINK they control.
In reality... NO ONE controls the beast. The beast controls YOU!!!!
Coca-Cola is carbonated filtered water with sugared bean syrup added.
Does it bother ANYONE that Coke is CHEAPER than BOTTLED WATER!?!?!?!?!?!? It's just Coca-Cola sans carbonation, high fructose corn syrup and powerderized beans!!!!!!!!
You must realize that these assholes aren't interested in building anything tangible or sustainable. They're only interested in creating market fluctuations which they can capitalize on.
So when the feds start spreading money into the stock market, it must naturally go up since your pumping so much new money into it.
Who wins from that????? The owners of the current equities.
Once they bail and take their profits, the market will go back down and the social security trust fund will effectively lose TRILLIONS of dollars!!!!
"Privatization" is essentially a program for transferring money from current social security taxes into the private coffers of the wealthy. It IS theft, but the stock market effectively washes the money clean.
I'm glad you think I'm so stupid. It was actually a joke. And I don't care if it IS offensive.
I could really give a shit LESS about what caused deeper socialoligal phenomenon influencing China's overpopulation. But I'm still 100% sure it was too much fucking.
There are far more natural and strategic resources in Antarctica. And shit... you can sail THERE.
I have YET to see any serious proposals to colonize antarctica despite being heavily laden with resources, containing a natural breathing atmoshpere, being WAY warmer than the moon, and being MILLIONS of times cheaper to exploit.
Manned space travel IS cool. That's about the extent to it's benefits.
We need to get off this planet sooner or later and unmanned probes won't do that.
Actually, no we don't. If a meteor comes to get us, all we need do is dig some VERY deep holes with years of food stored within.
From a human survival standpoint, it's effectively the SAME thing as going to Mars except it costs a BUTTLOAD less money.
I suggest that those interested in interstellar travel can poney the money up from a subscription program. Dedicate your $5,000 per year over a couple hundred thousand and you MAY have enough to go to the moon in ten years. THAT's the democratic way.
You GET the cool, you pay for the cool. The rest of us think it's a waste of money!!!!!
I thought Voyager was going to be like this. Instead it was just stupid.
The problem with Star Fleet Personnell is that they are all just so well balanced. They are also VERY clean.
I was expecting to see a ship that progressively got more and more fucked up as they moved along. More integration with aliens. A small "fleet" of ships (wagon train).
Basically, I expected Galactica in the Star Trek universe.
Oh yeah, we have growth in AGRICULTURE. Where do most of those jobs go... ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Good fucking strategy for US future.
INDIANS LISTEN UP. LAUGH IT UP WHILE YOU CAN. THIS SHIT IS NOT GOING TO LAST MUCH LONGER!!!!!!!
Americans are getting good and riled up about WTO and NAFTA. It's starting to dot the pages of newspapers. Hell, Lou Dobbs has practically dedicated his show to it.
Within four years, it will be gone (or we'll be in revolt)!!!!!!
The solution is VERY HIGH tariffs on countries with low wage, living, safety and environmental standards.
We need a foreign minimum wage to encourage foreing countries to treat their people correctly. We simply won't trade with countries that treat their people like shit.
We USED to have a program like this. It was called the "cold war". We didn't trade with communist societies where people were treated as little more than ants. Ah, the good ole days when we pointed nuclear missles at communists. now we trade with them... bleck!!!!!
And exactly what does the US have to do with children starving in India.
It has about as much to do with the US as EVERYONE starving in North Korea.
There are some rich mother-fuckers in India who sit on their wealth and could give a SHIT less about all those starving kids. So I don't want to hear some sob stories about why Americans have to give their jobs up.
Why???? Because Americans giving up their jobs WON'T HELP starving kids in India when the fundamental problem was NEVER wealth!!!!!
This would probably make an EXCELLENT tool for detectives if it would digitally sign record collections. You can take photos and get imprinted GPS information. Take notes on them and record voice notes over the photos.
-Digital8 is more of a stop-gap between the world of digital and Hi8. Lower resolution and uses 2x the tape (so a 90 min Hi8 tape only lasts for 45 min)
What bullshit!!! Mini-DV and Hi8 use the SAME video format: DV.
Plus, the "long play" setting on the camera will get you the same amount of Hi8 time. Beyond this, the Digital8 tapes are available in "extended" versions. They actually have enough space in the larger cartridge.
So you see, the only tangible difference between Mini-DV and Digital8 is the size of the tape.
Sony has a newer format out called "Micro-DV". The tapes actually have flash memory chips on them. It keeps track of the state of the tape.
Oh yeah, there is one REAL benefit to Digital8. The tapes are a lot cheaper and a lot easier to find.
Finally, after rendering a LOT of video, you may find that a DVD recorder is handy. It will end up as MPEG-2 anyway. The DVD recorder simply does it in real time. Just edit the MPEG-2 instead.
- image stabilization (it works wonderfully, and is a great thing to have for those who don't want to carry around a tripod or such) - nice, crisp images (I bought a camcorder that was made prior to Canon's 'new' image quality technology they've been marketing. it's still better than the competition - bright colors and good darkness compensation - small, well designed, and sturdy - interchangeable batteries with other Canon products - (generally) standard lenses and filter attachments
Sony has ALL of that. In addition they have night-vision and light amplification built in.

Fuck Thomas Friedman. Fuck the other Friedman for U Chicago as well.
When your little fucking world is replaced by an Indian working for 10k (which wouldn't be hard because your BOTH morons) then you'll understand.
The story is simplistic, "evil versus good", the characters are goofy, etc..
Yeah, like 4-6 had a great deal of emotional death. No one really knew who the enemy was in 4-6 !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Exactly what features they put in, we don't know.
But it sounds like another "revenue release" out of Redmond.
If they can get some of the "Quartz style" GUI infrastructure out, it might be worth it.
I'm glad you think I'm so stupid. It was actually a joke. And I don't care if it IS offensive.
I could really give a shit LESS about what caused deeper socialoligal phenomenon influencing China's overpopulation. But I'm still 100% sure it was too much fucking.
and hope that the West will adopt a bit more than just Chinese food. For example, qigong and Daoist sexual techniques.
Were those the techniques that rendered practicers so out of control of their dicks that they MEGA overpopulated their countries?????
If so, keep that shit in the east. I don't want to live in a United States with 1 billion people.
I'm glad to see that the US isn't the ONLY country willing to waste BILLIONS on useless weapons technology.
Whats the difference between a satellite nuclear launcher and a submarine launcher ??????
Give up
Oh yeah, and a couple hundred billion dollars
A space elevator could eventually make it safe and affordable to jettison nuclear waste it the cosmos!!!!
There are far more natural and strategic resources in Antarctica. And shit

Yes,
DV is easier for a machine to edit. Splicing will take far less time. Overlaying graphics is also easier.
But rendering the ENTIRE thing takes mondo time even on the fastest computers. For quick clipping, an MEG-2 source is easier.
I thought Voyager was going to be like this. Instead it was just stupid.
The problem with Star Fleet Personnell is that they are all just so well balanced. They are also VERY clean.
I was expecting to see a ship that progressively got more and more fucked up as they moved along. More integration with aliens. A small "fleet" of ships (wagon train).
Basically, I expected Galactica in the Star Trek universe.
Instead it just sucked!!!!
BTW, the 7 of 9 show wasn't all that bad.
Oh yeah, we have growth in AGRICULTURE. Where do most of those jobs go
Good fucking strategy for US future.

Americans didn't run over to India and fornicate out of control to create 1 billion people.
INDIANS made all those people. INDIANS are responsible for feeding them.
Don't ask Americans to contribute because Indians can't stop fucking.
And exactly what does the US have to do with children starving in India.
It has about as much to do with the US as EVERYONE starving in North Korea.
There are some rich mother-fuckers in India who sit on their wealth and could give a SHIT less about all those starving kids. So I don't want to hear some sob stories about why Americans have to give their jobs up.

You could use a freeplay charger. That would do the trick.
They've released these for cell phones.
This would probably make an EXCELLENT tool for detectives if it would digitally sign record collections. You can take photos and get imprinted GPS information. Take notes on them and record voice notes over the photos.

A couple things I liked about Canon camcorders:
- image stabilization (it works wonderfully, and is a great thing to have for those who don't want to carry around a tripod or such)
- nice, crisp images (I bought a camcorder that was made prior to Canon's 'new' image quality technology they've been marketing. it's still better than the competition
- bright colors and good darkness compensation
- small, well designed, and sturdy
- interchangeable batteries with other Canon products
- (generally) standard lenses and filter attachments
Sony has ALL of that. In addition they have night-vision and light amplification built in.
Digital Video Cameras aren't write once. You can overwrite them as many times as you like.
But digital photographs are shitty evidence. They can be photoshopped.
Digital video should be OK, because the amount of work it takes to tamper with video is off the charts.
Pinnacle only works well for chopping, splicing and putting in graphics.
If you're doing serious editing work with multiple video sources, you'll need something serious like Video Vegas, Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere.
Yes, I agree it's a big problem.
