The term "Junk Food" used to denote things like potato chips, but with the arrival of food glut since the '70s in the States, "Junk Food" now includes the following:
* TV Dinner
No matter how good they look on TV ads, no matter how "nutritious" we are told, TV Dinners are still packed with preservatives, flavor enhancers (MSG), processed starched, and so on
* Take Outs
No matter it's "Moo Goo Gai Pan" from Chinese restaurants or that super yummy pizza from your neighborhood Italian joints, take outs contain super-duper dose of MSGs
* Deliveries and Drive Through
Even the biggies, from Mickey Dees to Pizza Hut are jumping on the bandwagon trying their best to stuff your face - as long as you got the $$$
The government of Singapore builds flats for its people not because the government of Singapore likes to, but it had to
Singapore has a very limited amount of land mass - it's an island state
To accommodate the 3 million plus people living on that little island the Singaporean government had to build flats for them
As to the selling price of the flats - the way you imply it is patently false.
Yes, the price the government of Singapore sells the flats to Singaporean citizens are - "way belong market price" - but HIGHER THAN THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND LAND
Yes, Singaporean government does make a PROFIT while carrying out that "massive welfare program"
When was the last time the government of the United States of America makes a profit in its own welfare program ?
Tax GE till it withered and crashed, it that's what you want
But you guys better be prepared for the consequence - GE and all the other corporations will move out of USA once you guys do that, resulting more millions of Americans queuing in front of the unemployment offices
I do not even bother to reply to those who are blinded by their own perditions
Truth is there to be seen - that the social welfare system has been abused by too many of those who do not want to work, that keep on making babies while high on illicit drugs.
If anyone dare to tell the truth, they will retort with all types of verbal abuses - from "racist" to whatnot - and they hit back with false accusations
A comment below asked if I've had been to the housing project - as though I had never been to any
I had.
I had been to too many of the housing projects, the ghettos, the barrios --- and I've witnessed a stark contrast ---
Even within those barrios and ghettos you can see the difference - recent immigrants from Eastern Europe / Vietnam / India living there are opening up little stores selling every-day items
On the other hand, those "long-term residence" just live there, awaiting the monthly checks from the government, and in the meantime, not bother to even look for work
And as I said, if you pay taxes in countries like Singapore (or Japan, or China) you can rest assure that your money won't go to feed the children of those who refuse to work, who take drugs and who many as many babies as they are able to since babies to them are "sources of revenue"
At least in Singapore, when you pay taxes, you know that your tax money won't go to raising the children who don't want to work, stay at home, making babies and taking drugs
It all boils down to too much government spendings, especially on welfare, to raise the kids of those who just stay at home, making babies and taking drugs
If the government doesn't have to pay for all these, the tax rate wouldn't be so damn high, and people wouldn't have to renounce their citizenships
There are plenty of old / almost old cruise ships awaiting to be scrapped
Gonna get myself couple of them - Park one outside the coast of CA, park one near Singapore, park couple of them somewhere off the shore of Europe and we are talking business !
1. Attackers who are from abroad, or hired by foreign governments, seeking information on how to disrupt/destroy gas distribution networks in USA, in order to destroy USA.
2. Attackers sent by DHS itself, seeking ways to destroy/disrupt gas distribution networks in USA, in order to justify EVEN MORE URGENT FUNDINGS from the congress
While USA is devoting everything it has to develop weapons designed to destroy China, the Al Queda network in Yemen is developing new underwear bomb that can't be picked up by scanners installed in airports.
Watching the anti-China mania in USA is indeed very interesting
My bet is that China doesn't even have to lift a finger for the destruction of USA - The United States will one day be destroyed by the Muslim terrorists.

I heard of a story of an intern who wrote one awesome analytical software for one of the major (multi-billion) web company using R
Dunno if that story is true or not
Going for kickstarter is one thing
Asking for donation of at least $50,000.00 just to port free software onto Android is another
Fruit flies.
Time flies like arrow
Fruit flies like ?
Below please find a table listing DDR / DDR2 / DDR3
http://chipdesignmag.com/images/idesign/misc/defazio_table1.gif
Does anyone have the numbers for DDR4 ?
With Micron purchasing Elpida, Micron gonna get to make DDR4 DRAM with cell area of 4F2.
On the other hand, Samsung's DRAM is still occupying cell area of 6F2.
What a failure, so many better things that we could have done with that money
Truth to be told - this is not the only failure that the American government has funded
Trillions and trillions of American Tax Dollars had been wasted in pet projects favored by politicians
Those precious tax dollars gone to cronies of those politicians
In other words, it's CORRUPTION in practice, but unfortunately, according to the American laws, it's not counted as "corruption"
My father had a remote when I was growing up: me
Lol !
And I thought I was the only one who played that "remote" character
The only difference between you and me is I am the only remote for my whole family
we do not compete individually unless we are sociopaths
What the fuck is the Olympic Game for?
For that group of sociopaths, from all over the world, to compete, once every four fucking years?
You are definitely a fucking loser
a compulsory government education system
If you have that urge to troll, try troll better
In Singapore, there is no "compulsory" government education system
They do allow home schooling in Singapore
In a competitive society, those that lose ie it is competitive and people lose. The failures end up out of work and with no means of support.
You said the above yourself
If you think the society that we are in today is competitive, you need to have your head examined
It has been a competitive environment, IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN , since the dawn of time
If the antelope runs slower than the leopard, it gets eaten
Eat, or be eaten, that's the law of the nature
There are winners, and there are losers
There always were people who won, and there always were people who lose
But time has always been the greatest equalizer - that is, winners can lose, and losers can win, if given enough time, and even chances to compete
Back to the human population ....
The "losers" will forever stay loser if they just sit there and do nothing to help themselves
Nobody owes the losers anything - especially those losers who won't lift a finger to make themselves better
I ain't a bleeding heart liberal - I used to be when I was younger - but my heart ain't gonna bleed for those sore losers no more
I don't owe them nothing
I do pay taxes, and my tax dollars better don't go to pay those losers to stay losers
As we're progressive, a bullet in the back of the head will show these people who has the power.
You've perfectly described what "progressivism" is all about: violence towards people who won't give you wealth that they earned and you didn't.
And that's why I am not replying those so-called progressive people anymore
It's a waste of time to even read their sour-grape diatribes
You are full of shit and you know it

if you are GE, zero net, plus billions back
Tax GE till it withered and crashed, it that's what you want
But you guys better be prepared for the consequence - GE and all the other corporations will move out of USA once you guys do that, resulting more millions of Americans queuing in front of the unemployment offices
USA is no longer the only heaven on this planet

Actually the tax is quite low - 50 years ago, the tax was a lot higher.
Why stopped at just 50 years ago?
Before there was any tax, there was none.
One of the root cause of America'ss independence was that the Brits were taxing too much on too many things.
Including tea - hence, "Boston Tea Party"
At least in Singapore, when you pay taxes, you know that your tax money won't go to raising the children who don't want to work, stay at home, making babies and taking drugs

And that what TSA is all about
It's not about terrorism, it's not about security, it's about numbing the public through excessive harassment
Is that the temperature for the WHOLE planet or the side which faces its sun ?

As young as possible - some kid is bound to try and chew on it and then a lawyer will file a class action because it doesn't taste like rapberries.
Sir,
I can foresee that you will have a very bright future in the legal profession
Ever since the dawn of time there have been suckers
And that's the only reason why con artists thrive all through the millennia
The Net is a tool, use by everyone, including the con artists - and the suckers?
Well ... suckers are _still_ falling into the Nigerian money transfer scam, don't they?
