We had a project where we had to design / build a system from scratch with the help of the main company defining what they needed. Any way, the project eventually got finished with prototypes being done, then final production done for the first batch of units. The stuff as a whole worked well, but there were a few software issues and hardware issues that were fixed quickly. But the company didnt wish to finish its final financial obligation and pay us for all the work. Claiming ofcourse we didnt deliver, but any new system needs refinements to completion especially if its a combo HW/SW solution thats used out in the public. So they basically spent 98% of the money and wish to not spend another 2% to 100% iron out all issues. That 2% would barely be 5digit sum, so they are really shooting themselves in the foot by not paying to complete the project. And ofcourse we arent going to work for free.
The economy only grows by 2-3% because of 5-8% growth in the money supply (ie true cause of inflation) caused by credit growth and immigration.
With out the magic printing of 5-8% of the GDP in cash each year, you would see a 2-4% SHRINKING because thats how much is being sucked up in exports and interest payments to banks.
Theres one easy fix, KILL PERSONAL INCOME TAXES, then we can all be on an equal well being, while only charge 'taxes' on imports and business profits.
Since when does guranteed NO PIRACY ever equal cheaper games? They like to lie to us and say piracy causes high prices, but when its impossible to pirate, you still get high prices... I smell a rotton mafia fish here.
Why are retail games in usa usually 25% higher in price than currency converter australian released games? Now dont give me tax (we have FTA now) and the originals are probably made in singapore any way, shipipng costs are trivial $1500 per 10 tonne container. Dont give me local taxes/gst as excuses, since they are not added ontop of the USA retail price, but the wholesaler price which is about 30% below USA retail, so thats $34USD, add GST and shipping and margin and we should have 70 AUD max.
If you want to get around shipping, send a master to AU and press 30000 copies.
Yes it may sounds cheap for ONE message, 10cents, but send 12 a day for 30 days = WAY TOO MUCH.
Wheres our scaling factor? why dont sms cost 5cents after the first 20, and 3cents after the first 100.
Yes they would CUT their own profits, but hey, if every nightclub/bar started to charge $45USD for 1 beer there would be an outcry for excessive MAFIA style PROFITEERING of EVIL proportions.
Hell, why not just charge govt sectors $500/hr for IT contract jobs, sure its excessive, but fuck em.
So why cant the telco auto give you unlimited when you hit $10 worth? they wont because they love the ill informed public, yet computers could auto choose adjust plans at the cost of profits for the telcos.
Still id love to be in the board room of a telco deciding prices/plans," yes bob, lets rip off these loosers and get rich hahahhhaha"
oh yeha and there are no uneducated farm japaneses? or uncultured city japanese who play ps2 24/7? Where is the triads and mafia?
No job prospects and poverty breed crime and underground economies that bypass evil tax systems. When one cant find a job, your only choice is to suffer in pain or 'work underground'.
If robot 173673 has a fault or error, another robot picks it up shoves it into the melting pit, and another robot is made that copies the dead robots 'brain' HD of memories. Bingo back to work in 5minutes, no humans needed if its a truly automated smartly made system.
Robots build robots build cars.
Maybe each robot should have its own bank account and get paid 50cents/hour, so that it can pay for its electricity/taxes.
I am sure 1 or 2 guys in a massive 500000 sqft warehouse can maintain 2000 robots.
Ever wondered why toyota/hyundai make those cool walking robots? its not just for fun, its for total human replacement in its factory plants.
Perhaps govts should force payroll taxes on companies that use robots, ie after all they are 'employed' but not paid, just slaves, but the country looses out on taxes which are there to support the unemployed and elderly.
Just wait till AI/voice recorgnition gets so advanced, even Indian call centres will be dead replaced by giant IBM servers doing 10000 calls per minute.
If no one has a job, who is going to earn money to pay for products made by robots? Other robots?
dude, stocks are scam, buy euros, your dollar is toast, you cannot create 600billion in extra slush, and not see 8-20% devaluation yearly. So get out of the cycle, buy euros or gold or a mix.
How many builders/bricklayers/electricians/cabinet makers do you know that will "moddify" the original plan or do extra work for free? NONE!
Even if you ask a builder to use bigger door handles or woodgrain, or more kitchen space, they will charge you per hour for EVERYTHING, and EVERY item. Why cant clients just get a damn clue and respect the software people.
Why dont hospitals have UPS type devices in every room for every major appliance? Then when power goes out, it will be better handled by the 5000 UPS boxes to take the load of the generator.
Oh I forgot, logic doesnt exist in administrators, and only the next quarters profits are what counts, since Mr Big Shot manager could 'move on' to another job after he gets his 'deserved' bonuses, thereby raking up the bonus points.
Sorry we dont have money for 5000 UPS machines, we spent $600,000 on a doctors conferences and $1.2m on the website via a over priced contractor.
Because if all comets are NOT ice, but just normal asteroids that generate massive plasma/electric charges, then that changes *ALL* theories on how the earth/solar system was evolved, and that throws out other derived theories, and then it makes more new ones, which would lead to more discoveries and finally allowing you to get your anti-gravity device to get to the moon. OK.
Can the editors get a clue, as said in other articles else where on the net, the name DEEP IMPACT was determined about the same time as the movie title was, but was 100% a coincedence and not chosen because of a movie.
Yes a small anal point, but jeez, you guys fail basic Journalism 101 class dudes.
its all going to back fire and die

Promoting 'fraud' ie lieing.... great attribute to put on a pillar.
Viewers are not that dumb, if they are sick of reality, then they'll just smoke some drugs or tune out on some pills.
Of those that are dumb, how the hell do dumb-ass people make enough money to be worth it to advertisers? Or is everyone a lieing scum ass kisser that is destined to be taken to hell by satan on 2012 when judgement day comes? I hope so.
So where are these 1/30 people, hire me, ive done loads, and I see dumb shits getting good jobs (GWB), whats the go?
Thats a good trick to infect MPAAs offices, make a fake Suprnova.org site that shows up blank to the world, but as a fake site for movies if the client ips are inside MPAA. Then when run in their computers, totally scan/report everything on their pc/network back to the website.
At least us programmers could learn these dumbasses jobs quicker than they could learn programming, ie 10 years of coding, vs 6 months crash course in "bullshiting and running things" Central Idiot Officer more like it. Well at lease once there is a global depression or something as bad a tsunami, then we can all camp out at the CxOs mansions.
Why cant thses big fatcat silly airlines in usa do what qantas does? if unions are the issue, can the big airline just start a small-subsidery or small seperate partnered airline? Then the new one can easily 'compete' with the parent and take non union labor and reuse the parents facilities.
Or are there FAA regulations preventing this? if so.. change the laws.

yes, but if you have 100 diesel subs, those 10 USA nuklear subs cant get em all can they.
though what they need are remote controlled whales with a solarpanel/sat guided control on their backs.

Better yet, use MediaPlayerClassic.
