The U.S. is gunna crash and it's going to take the rest of the world economy with it.
Paraphrasing Peter Schiff - "America likes to think it's the world's economic engine, but really it's the caboose being dragged by rest of the world"
As the US dollar falls and Americans stop consuming most of the world's resources, other economies will be in a position to use those resources and better their own standards of living.
I've ran the numbers for solar cells and windmill generators and can't see the overall savings. Taking into account the manufacturing, installation and maintenance costs, are these techniques better for the environment or any cheaper?
As we slide down the fossil fuel depletion curve, it will take a combination of "green" tech to keep humanity from freezing to death. (ie... Windmills work in New Jersey, but not in Pennsylvania... Solar thermal works in Arizona, but not in Minnesota).
I've been using eBay since it's inception and watched it go from a site for collectors to a dumping ground for overstocked/bulk items. What they really need to do is crackdown on sellers like this prick who insists on crap flooding entire catagories with the same item instead of using the bulk option.

A Flu Pandemic?

· Score: 1
I remember my grandfather telling me about the 1918 flu hitting Philadelphia. Said it was the most frightening period of his childhood. His father would give the entire family a glass of red wine each night to fend off the disease... an old Italian superstition, but none of them caught the illness.
Same thing here only with mobos and capacitors -- nothing new.
I don't know about that. I've been into this hobby for a long time and it seems as though quality in all forms of electronics has taken a major dive since the late 90s. I certainly don't remember any of my XT and AT boards ever having bad caps, but I've had my fair share with ATX.
Seriously, prices shot up "because of Katrina." They should have plunged back down when the refinaries came back online but they only gave in a little.
You do realize that US is "borrowing" 2 million barrels a day from the EU, and that many other commodities are experiencing record highs due to the explosion in Asian economic growth.
That's interesting. SONY used to be considered the top of the line. (Shows you how much time I spend shopping for electronics.)
I wonder what happened. Did they get tired of being the innovators and decide to become the followers: at least in consumer electronics?
China, Korea and Malaysia happened. They just couldn't compete with electonics dumping from Samsung, Goldstar, LG, APEX... etc.
While these are broad generalizations, we need some way of determining who can actually program without interviewing every candidate.
Not sure where you work, but when I use to interview early on in my career taking a PAT was a given. I remember attending a career open house for a bank IT position where a good 300 hundred of us were welcomed with a blue book, score sheet form and a #2 pencil. It's been a while, maybe they've done away with aptitude tests since for political reasons??
I will say VS has "allowed" more "unqualified" developers into the mix due to the ease in using the tool, but to say it would effect the creativity of a good developer is bullshit. This guy sounds like the old time machinists who bitch about CNC over a mill and lathe.

Can you imagine pulling that out on a plane and plugging a 2600 joystick into it for some gaming goodness?
Yes, I'm sure that will impress the honnies in first class.

Oil still costs about $15 to pump out of the ground, but instead of the $25 price before we invaded Iraq, it's pushing $70+ as a "permanent high".
Supply and demand.
