It doesn't need to be illegal, we have a big enough government already, we need to remove laws, not make new ones! What we need is a new exchange, that only executes trades once per week, and another that only executes once per month. If your company is on this exchange you are not allowed to be on any others. Bam problem solved. If you need your money out early there is a fee based on the past volatility of the stock. No more flash crashes, much less speculation, invest in a company due to dividends as it should be and not fucking stock appreciation!
MOD UP, wow I totally agree, not only 16%, BUT 16% of drivers under 20, which is less than 5000, so say that 50% of 5000 deaths are caused by people under 20, most likely an overestimate, now this equates to 8%, and of that how many are actually because of texting, not eating, makup, sex, radio, etc, who knows but probably less than half, so now you are talking less than 4% of the 5,000, or 200 people per year. Granted a stupid way to die, but there is no way in hell we should be passing any laws relating to this, or even promoting awareness of it at any level, money wasted.
Well for starters the Philips is 60W vs the one you posted is 40W equivalent. Also the one you posted is rated at 25k hours vs Philips 30k hours. A much better deal would seem to be this one, the only issue being the color temp perhaps:
Don't be fooled by the government and big ag companies, the human body was never adapted to eat the amount of grains that people eat today, whole grains are not good for you. They certainly aren't as bad for you as junk food, sugar, and some other things.
What I fail to understand is how you can be accurate with a dumb projectile at 100-nautical miles, especially at sea. Is this simply marketing talk, or can they can they really hit a 100 meter building or other ship from 100 miles away given sea movements and weather?
You are correct we have the most technological advanced military in the world, but you are incorrect that we are not the biggest. After 20 years of spending more on our military than almost all other nations COMBINED, we have both the most advanced and the biggest military in the world. We have more stealth fighters than some countries have PILOTS.
There is a fundamental difference between software and cars and french fries, cars wear down very quickly, and french fries are consumable. If you sell used software it is 100% identical to what you bought. This makes it such that every new game competes with every single previously released game. Luckily we have technological decay somewhat.
I'm sure its sponsored by GM companies. The point is why even mess with it, we have food that we can grow now that isn't GM, in fact if anything we need to diversify our food supply and go the opposite direction, different breeds of corn, wheat, soybeans instead of the same 3 that are grown in every field. The other massive problem with GM is a company can control and patent a seed, once it dominates and is entrenched they slowly squeeze the profits and life out of small farms and into larger companies.
I do all of the above. I spent a considerable amount of time optimizing the loading code path, I have the details somewhere, using memory caching techniques, ensuring the cache isn't blown, serializing disk access, etc, all led to massive performance improvements. When you are reaching a point of diminishing returns on that, why not upgrade the computer? I built my 2500k over a year ago and it was around $1500, pretty much a no brainer upgrade for that price.

Not everything is about gaming, I overclocked for faster compiling cycles, and it makes a HUGE difference. And for gaming the market has long figured it out, hence the huge market for overclocking GPUs, you can get custom water blocks, heatsinks, memory coolers, all specifically for video cards. The market for overclocking GPUs dwarfs the market for overclocking CPUs in the yesteryear, people have been overclocking GPUs since they very first came out from 3dfx.

Well let me dig up my test results spreadsheet from when I first got my 2500K CPU, times are in seconds to complete my task in Visual Studio 2010, first set of numbers is the system at stock clock, second set is overclocked at 5GHz, during my game development most of my day consists of building the game, loading the game and testing out changes or additions, therefore the reduction from doing that in 32s vs 21s is absolutely huge, even doing code changes that don't require a total rebuild I am waiting 3s less. It may not sound like a lot but when you are focused any time saved is very important, you can only be focused for so long.

Totally, even more likely though the plane didn't even fail, it "failed".

Warren Buffett being the primary shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway he can choose to pay himself a salary and be taxed 35%, or be paid in capital gains at a rate of 15%, and here is the key, capital gains are distributed AFTER Berkshire Hathaway has already been taxed on those profits at the corporate rate of 35%, thus making his effective tax rate 45%. For a more standard businessman who talks about his excessive taxes all the time I direct you to Peter Schiff http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7ZkKqC5-Wbw#t=320s
You can tax every single person in the country 100% and it isn't going to balance the budget over the next 10 years. Anyone who thinks the rich isn't paying their fair share hasn't thought it through. What is their fair share? 30%, 40%, 50%? Most rich are paying 45% in taxes currently, when the bush tax cuts expire it will be North of 50%. Why should a rich person that makes $1M pay $500,000 for the same services and protections from their country that a poor person that contributes absolutely nothing to society and receives $25,000? The more we reward people for doing nothing, the more they will do nothing, and this is exactly what is happening, the people who control capital hill are represented by the same people who take everything and pay nothing, and worse who actually live off of the government.
Quite ironic that capitalist USA has become a country of socialists and crony capitalism, and communist China has a less regulated and freer economy than we do.
Competition between states programs would make things cheaper overall, it would also vastly increase the security and robustness of our nation. It is much easier to deal with a few states programs going bankrupt, being fraudulent, or having problems than to deal with one system covering the entire country. It would also allow much greater choice for citizens, don't like social security, move to a state that doesn't have it, don't like the way drugs and agriculture is regulated in your state, move to another. What is likely to yield a better program, one nationally planned monopoly that is ripe with fraud, capital cronyism, and centrally planned. Or 50 individual programs constantly trying different rules, regulations, and management styles.
Even his act of dying happens to be an ideal event for Apple.

Amazing, no CEO will ever top his record: the rise of Apple from near bankruptcy to largest cap company in the world and domination of several media at once.
"The only way for our lives to get better is if the rich have less of the money and we have more."
This is 100% false, in a growing economy "the rich" can be rich and it benefits everyone, and everyones wealth and standard of living increases.

Nearly everyone posting in this topic has it wrong, and are parroting the same baloney principals that have led us into this economic mess over the last 80 years. The next election is probably the last hope to manage the global financial meltdown coming in less than 5 years. Since the world is following US policy of devaluing its currency into oblivion by printing money, all other countries follow suit, in order to reverse this we must lead by example. The only candidate who not only understands that, but actually has integrity and whose actions reflect his beliefs is Ron Paul. Even if he is elected (which I think is highly unlikely) we are so far in the shit I doubt even a full 180 in policy from top down and fast action can save us.
So basically the world economic bus is heading for a cliff with our foot squarely on the gas, Ron Paul is ready to hit the brakes but is chained to the back of the bus by the media, after the bus goes off the cliff the only passengers who are going to land safely are those that hold a gold parachute.
It doesn't matter how you label it, borrowing and spending more than every other nation on earth combined on "defense" doesn't make too much sense when your worst threat is a band of rebels without a country to target. 9-11 was a terrible event, no one questions that, but our response and nearly every law, action, and expenditure in the name of it is a total waste of money and slap in the face of freedom. Every single one of those 12 aircraft carriers represents millions of lost jobs, lost productivity, and worse of all a HUGE burden on the future of our country which we have yet to realize.
Well there are a few ways, if that 50B was foreign income they do not have to pay taxes on it. Also the amount of tax revenue collected from corporations is tiny, only 12% of all taxes http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/background/numbers/revenue.cfm, even if you doubled the taxes of corporations you would not do anything for revenues or the deficit and it would bankrupt most companies. As for taxing the rich it is worthless, even if you tax the rich 100% you are not going to hardly put a dent in the deficit, the only way to do it meaningfully is to raise taxes on the middle class, which are by far and away the largest tax source. Again all of these solutions are going about it wrong, we do not need higher taxes for anyone, we need to cut spending across the board 50-75%, and lower taxes for everyone.
