That's a very good way of looking at it. We really do need to take into consideration the puritanical history of this country which really skews our views of sexuality, regardless of where on the spectrum you are. Makes me feel a bit better about my so-called addiction (really, I'm serious). Maybe I am a European stuck in an America's body. I certainly love European women because they ooze sexuality 100x more than most American women, that's for sure...
So how exactly is the city supposed to rebuild itslef higher? Raise a few hundred square miles by 20 feet? Right. Another expense I don't want to pay for.
New Orleans was built by morons who thought they could outwit Mother Nature. The city's time finally came due. Why should my tax dollars, and the tax dollars of every citizen in this country, go towards rebuilding a city that shouldn't have been built? It's going to literally take trillions (not billions) of dollars to rebuild the city. And what happens when another major hurricane strikes? We do this all over again?? We've already done enough damage by building flood levies along the Miss. River and choked off VALUABLE wetlands that not only could have lessened the damage of this hurricane but also keep the Gulf of Mexico healthy. We've allowed silt from the Miss to pour into the Gulf, choking off valuable wildlife and natural resources instead of letting it replenish the wetlands. It's time to reverse that damage. The city should remain permanently evacuated, the remains of buildings and infrastructure torn down, the levy system removed and let nature take its course.
I'm sure there's enormous political pressure to rebuild this city, but like many places that learned their lesson after the great tsunami, there are just certain places that should NOT be rebuilt. And that includes the coastlines from Texas to Florida and beyond. It's time we stopped supporting frivolous and dangerous development. We have to pay each time a Florida beach is wiped out by a strom. Why? Because special interests demand it. It's time this maddness ends.
More white trash overcrowding another national park. If these parks are created, then either make them off limits to humans or keep attendance restricted to a few thousands visitors per year. Ever se the miles of traffic and horrible air pollution caused at nat'l parks across the US in the summer?
Man, how fucking CHEAP are we getting? Not only do we not give a shit about the WalMartization of the world while we kill jobs here to send to Chinese workers, but "bargains" seem to drive people into mindless frenzies. Yeah, $50 is a great deal on an iBook, but jesus h christ morons, get a grip on your lives! But, this DID happen in the "south" so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
You're right on, man. I specialize in Macs, but my Windows client base has been growing by leaps and bounds this year. Number one problem? Spyware. In fact, I'm launching my biz to go FT next month (really). I haven't been this busy EVER, and it's the middle of August! Thanks, Microsoft!
Shit, I'm shocked. I had no clue this old dog was still available for purchase. I thought it died in the mid-90's. And, who the hell is BUYING this OS now???
Andreeson def WAS a one trick pony. I hope he's able to keep his fortune. Really, what became of him? He became CTO for the company (in which I don't recall him doing much) and then really disappeared. Oh, yeah, he started some company with a cloud in the name, but I think that flopped after it's IPO.
That said, I'd love to be in his shoes. I could be retired at 33 and driving my new Porsche around a race track today.
That's a great post. I agree 100%. Another thing I'm beginning to question is how long their ad sales can increase. I've used their AdWords program and have helped a few other people. Overall, the expenses haven't been worth it. Also, bidding for keywords is becoming more and more expensive every week, and it's got to hit a wall sooner or later. Also, any sign of a recession or economic slow down and I could see Goog's revenue's taking a massive tumble.
If I could afford it, I'd probably short the hell out of this stock and wait for the $200 drop. Granted, I was way wrong about this stock in the past, but $300 for an internet company is outlandish. The company is still a Wall Street darling but I'm not buying it. It's going to come down sooner or later.
Sheesh, c'mon, nerds. This story was all over the wires on Tuesday!! Is it really THAT slow a news day that a fish (which has absolutely no "technical" features or, really, having anything to do with technology) is one of your top stories? Maybe you could have been more like CNN today. THEIR top story this morning was Brooke Shields slamming Tom Cruise over his comments on psychology!
Also... So the law signed by Pres. Howdy Doody says a file/movie pirate can spend ten YEARS in jail?? Yet, people who rape and murder often get less. I see now that our priorities are finally straight. How much faster can we go downhill?
I love how the FBI is wasting our money doing this shit. I know, financially, a few people are hurting b/c of piracy. But, I can think of a few better things for the feds to target right now. But I guess all the pedophiles in Florida or extremists in Indonesia aren't deserving of the FBI's time anymore. Let's target some geeks.
As the legal guy on CNN said today, 5-4 means the same as a unanimous decision. The outcome is the same. Just because it's 5-4 doesn't mean the losers in this case (the American people) have some hope. I'm a pretty liberal guy, but I'm firmly on the side of the dissenters here. Granted, New London is s shithole and needs a change. But, eminent domain was designed for massive public works projects, not for who can turn the most politicians into whores.
That's exactly what I've done. I charge $75 an hour (I'm also one of the few local Mac experts) and my client base has been growing with minimal advertising this year. I'm doing it on the side now, but I want to take it FT. I'll gladly take on Geek Squad and their stupid VW Beetles.
This all reminds me of the nuttiness that went on with Netscape and about 100 other dot coms. At a price over $200, I'd say it's probably a good bet to short the hell out of this stock. Now.
Well, maybe because the content that is/will be available on SIRI isn't/won't be available on regular radio. If you're a Stern fan, like myself, then this matters a great deal.
I would normally take this as just another rumor, but the WSJ (I'm a far left liberal and I still think it's a great paper) is VERY accurate when it comes to stories like this. So, I would likely accept it. If true, this would be a coup de tat (is that how you spell it??) as all of a sudden, M$ has even MORE competition on its own turf now. You can't have anymore complaints about price disparity.
I can see it now.....Linux nerds....kegs of Meister Brau....foosball tables....Cheese Doodles....and the ritual crushing of a legit copy of Win XP with baseball bats. All in the name of Gates going down. Have fun, ya dorks!:-)
Oh, and did I mention there would be no sign of women anywhere at this party?

I don't know if he's making any money, but it's one of the few, rare, raw blogs I've read. I just wish he'd update it more often.

Why do I have this vision of Gates dressed as Santa and a line of geeks is waiting to sit on his lap?
"Hi, um, Bill, er, um, Mr. Gates. I love Windows so much, I have the logo tattoed on my heiny. Want to see it?"
"What?? That's copyright infringement!! Guards, place this manboy under arrest!!"
Thank you. I wouldn't even know how to create those characters anyway. :-)
Um, your 8600 is not Intel-run. That' a PowerPC chip, bro. Or are you talking about running Virtual PC? That's different.
