you're arguments don't hold. Cuba scores higher (or lower if you're talking about infant mortality rates - a key indicator) in overall health care, and that system is not "free market."
btw, you're misleading yourself believing the US is a free market. It's not.
but preciosion (sic) targeting will (almost) always get you what you want
I know this is OT. There's no such thing as precision targeting. It's a military hoax meant to make you and me feel a little better about bombing the shit out of another country.
I think those are great comments, but the point is that war and violence are beneficial for the ruling class. So what is being done in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. is good news for the ruling class. They are not attempting to stop violence, but rather, create more. Create more violence, sell more weapons ($$$), keep people scared (control), and so on...
as with any business, you can't analyze expenses and profit on just manufacturing and retail. it's much bigger than that.
you have to remember that there are costs in the music industry that are "hidden". i.e. music videos, promotional materials/campaigns for retail, radio, tours and other bloated marketing schemes all factor into the price. the music industry is a huge marketing machine and somebody has to pay for it, primarily consumers and artists.
keep that in mind when you buy you're next CD.

...you need some sort of government to avoid anarchy and disaster...
that is what governments say all the time isn't it? i.e. you need the state. repeat after me: you need the state.
There were agreements made to stop the last war...like weapons inspectors that wouldn't be interferred with etc. Saddam isn't abiding by his side of the deal
the US interferred with the inspections and pulled the inspectors out (so that they could resume bombing), not Iraq. US & UK are currently bombing Iraq in no-fly zones which are not part of any UN agreement...btw how did Iraq get all those WMDs? from the US. so why aren't americans holding politicians accountable, some of them are currently in office (i.e. Cheney, Rumsfield (sp?))...
We understand these things very well, thank you, which is why we go to great lengths to keep our homeland from experiencing the sort of things that have happened elsewhere in the world.
you don't need all that crap (post-Imperialism plan) to get the audience to know which side to be on and to get them emotionally involved in the plot, so why bother? just listen to the music and look for all the visual clues. john williams made star wars great.
This is horrible - no sample chapter link, no table of contents...just a lot of MySQL disclaimers. That doesn't cut it. How well this book's material covers Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, DB2 (and the above mentioned DBs) is important. What's in the book, stupid?
I've read the scond edition and i think it's the most important technical book i've ever read. [Disclaimer: All the work i do centers around databases.] I highly recommend it, in fact, buy it now. I had just begun working with RDBMS's at the time that i read it and it improved my understanding of the technology in general. From that i also learned a lot about proprierty features based on what i learned about the SQL standard(s). I still refer to it whenever i need to.
The great thing about the book is it has common sql problems and solutions which have helped me come up with some really creative and *simple* sql statements that have saved time (my own and the server's).
He was a regional manager in a large construction company and he always tells me (one day, maybe, i'll be in a management position) that you never delegate a task to anyone that you can't do yourself. Now i know the tech industry is somewhat different than the construction industry, but i believe the principle still sticks.
VHS Tapes will be the next thing to go big on eBay, just like rare vinyl goes for top $$$. Soon VHS tapes will do the same. And my friends will say "VHS just has a better feel to it than DVD."
Stock up now while the prices are low!
That's a huge difference in my world. If you wanted a raise you should've asked for one. If you did and didn't get one and that's what motivated you to go through the process of the interview etc. then my advice would be to leave. I don't know about you, but i would feel like sh*t. If you're boss thought you were worth the extra money, he would've gave you the raise. To me, it may be an indication that the other company is doing better financially. If you're making (50% increase) less then what you're worth - move.
"...the 7th paragraph reveals why scientists connected to religious institutions are often not very scientific. The scientists looked for Strangelets that produced two signals as they pass through the Earth, "one as they entered Earth and the other as it left." But this only works if the Earth is hollow. Any dense object passing through the Earth is going to produce a single continuous signal from entry to exit."

repeal minimum wage laws. you can hire 2 people for the price of one. there, next problem...

Anthony Hamilton is a really bright artist who's taken a while to come out. I wonder if this is going to hurt his sales and growth.

Shouldn't the government be able to spy on terrorists?
what if the gov't is the terrorists? like many countries including the ones we live in (Canada, USA, UK, Australia...)?
so what? there are plenty of fake stories on TV (CNN) and print. point that out.
1 or 2? how about both.
or any other major terrorist mastermind?
there seems to be a lot of them, hunh? every other guy is a mstermind! bullshit...

i'm vegetarian because i hate vegetables. i want to kill them all. fuckin' carrots must die.
How about a study that compares the number of UFO sightings against alcohol consumption?

If it wasn't for the musical and obvious visual clues, we would have a hard time believing who was good vs. who was evil.
This may be over-stating the obvious, but IMHO, the story itself isn't that obvious.
