Since when is the govt complete and utter THEIFS like gangs in Compton? But btw any smart thief will just rent all their equipment so they never incur a loss.
But baybe we should all stop buying everything, since if the govt can take it away, screw it, lets make it bankcrupt by causing a big-ass depression then we retake it over. After all its perfectly legal to do a coup and take over govts, the USA always promotes it to take over axis-of-evil places by the people, and thats how the USA started too, the people revolted and took over.... if its good enough before, its good enough now, but americans are too lazy so it'll never happen aslong as everyone is busy 'consuming' our capitalist society. Busy people can never have time to plan a revolution:-) , those pollies are so smart.
They dont need to offer a cash cow to stop them making such a car, since more oil is used for other products besides cars, car fuels are only but a small % of overall OIL usage, so it wouldnt put a dent into oil purchase, since it takes oil to make the car in the first place.
Others are;
* everything....
ie fertilzers plastics manufacturing lubricants b lah blah blah... to item 10000.
1. first its in US dollar terms, so if the USD falls, (and it will since confidence in US to service its debt levels will fall) price of oil will rise when the USD goes down since more people would rather have euro's or if they are real nasty, can demand gold rather than some numbers in a bank account which can decrease in value yearly, rather like negative interest rates, ie lika a hidden tax.
2. china/india is demanding LOTS of oil, they need HEAPS OF IT, not just for their cars/trucks, but a lot for fertilizer, they have to feed 1.2b people you know, and that takes a big-ass amount of ferts, which btw china is using too much of, so they are probably 'overdosing' the soil and setting themselves up for a big food failure in 2010.
3. people are for the first time installing LIGHT BULBS upgrading from kero lamps, then they get a radio, a washer, then a tv. Doesnt sound like much, perhaps 1kw max or less usage, but multiply that by say 5,000,000 new connections monthly as a 'guess'. and thats a giga-watt number that can only be serviced by coal/oil/gas turbines.
4. To make all those cheap plastic toys/shrink wrap, everything that walmart sells, needs lots of plastic, ie oil based compounds.
So its catch 22, the more you enrich/modernize the 3rdworld or china and india for more profits, the more resources they need like fuels/metals thus driving up costs at 3x inflation rate.
The other main problem is that there is few new oil fields or cheaper extraction techniques so finding new supplies is hard or maxing the current ones out is not possible since they are already running at peak.
And dont suggest pumping out oil at 2x the rate, since you need large oil tankers, and they take years to build so if there ARE NO tankers to pick it up then thats it.
And everything Hitler did, could not have been possible without the help of IBM and their mechanicle counting machines that made sure they could tabulate the census data and KNOW where all jews lived/owned/did and back 5 generations. With all this new data, they could in essence do the same as any "SQL query" but it took hours to days to get the result of 10 thousands' of punch cards. But they could find anyone or group. All the while the CEO of IBM was the chairman of the chamber of commerce and was apolitical but didnt care who they sold their 'goodies' too, even if millions died.

Maybe we cannot avoid that, but we can add extra logical none currupt decision processes into it to make it fair and transparent, not contract based and locked in a safe.
Like foxnews, we dont have 4hrs and 58 pages of text to convey the message in so generalizations are a fact of life, just like how "ms sux" is a common opinion.
Regarding voting, yeah both major parties are scams full of scums, career pollies who forget that they are there for the people at all costs to their own career, not the other way round. Most of the oldies probably barely passed highschool if they went past year 8 at all. *ALL* would fail the SAT I bet too.
Ive used linux since 94 actively, and mostly as a desktop in the old days, but now, im mostly windows on my desktop with an osx mix too. I still use linux for all server type goodies, but that is all.
1. if you have the money , then whats wrong with two machines, more redundancy. 2. I have more video/media needs which linux just wont do well or might have CLI only tools which are just so 80s, its not hard to code a gui so spend 3-4hrs and do it:-) 3. as many people have said, linux needs an easy to use 'update over the net' like windows update for components/drivers/tools/apps. Or do we mean redhat/suse ? since linux is just a kernel, everything else... is well NOT linux and can equally run well under freebsd kernel too
And most of that debt is to China and the Saudis via the treasury bills.
But social security, well screw that, just let the old people live of their rich grand kids eh.... or maybe the old people can sell their homes and live of that instead of holding it until their kids inherit it.
Legalize MJ too, let the old people grow/sell it, that would fix all problems for sure. No need for govt to use tax money there, why are solutions so simple and why are people so damn useless that they cant take care of them selves.
Or just make a cool new virus that kills 80% of the population, that would fix everything, except the freeways would be damn quiet and customers at the shops would be low.
Didnt someone say recently its cheaper and better to just ditch the old mainframes and run the code under emulation in a virtual mainframe like VMWare, that way you get modern reliable hardware, 100x faster spec and 50x smaller floor space but with the same old reliable code.
OT: I think the govt should FORCE microsoft to release all sourcecodes >10 years old or any OS that is 100% discontinued, like Win95, then perhaps the OSS community can make a retro Win95-redux running on linux kernel. But we know the govt is 100% currupted up the arse
If all 500 million PCs payed $289 for XP, then MS would make $144,500,000,000
Thats 144 BILLION dollars.
Their stock would be flying massively.
The fact they make less than 10% of that for XP just shows you that realisticly, they are only making $20 per XP.
The the previous poster on saying its simple economics, your full of shit dude, XP bundeling is 100% a monopoly and NO ONE else could do it.
The only one who can come close to that is Apple if they really ported OSX to intel, and have it preloaded with *ALL* PCS as a seperate bootable partition with ability to read/write NTFS aswell.
Surely no sane person with 2 brain cells would ever consider 'charging' someone that printed a warning on someones printer, while at the same time ignoring the people who spam and take over peoples pcs with trojans/spyware.
Or are there 100 million insane people in usa all working for the federal government?
a) too many messages b) crap cache system caching things which are pointless c) so called ram saving techniques which flush out 'speed' saving components out from ram to swap to give more ram for the cache which is filled with crap. d) badly designed code that does too many things when not needed.
Ever wonder why an XP machine with 512 ram with only say 250 used, still swaps stuff out to swap trying to make more free ram? stupid logic. Why does a swapped out mozilla take 30-50seconds to load back up? does it really take 50seconds to load 40-70meg of swap space into ram on a 20meg/sec HD? Why dont they have multiple types of swap files for different memory types/objects to have faster 'seek/reload' times with out a billion tiny 4kb seeks/reads.
I think we need some cpu hardware engineers to help design techniques for the OS programmers, sometimes hardware geeks think better at a smaller nanosecond time scale, not high level one C++ object usage:)
what shits me is windows with 512 meg ram, and after running some apps etc... doing some usefull stuff, only use say 300meg ram at most, but it still thrashes the HD when swapping from FIREFOX to VSTUDIO to THUNDERBIRD to NERO. Yes all those apps suck a lot of ram, but my total ram usage is NEVER above total real ram in the system, so windows is too stupid to realise "hey stop caching so much shit that only gets loaded once and rarely, keep the APPS in ram, dont PAGE them out"
How the hell do we force windows (xp/2k) to stop paging apps out to SWAP when it really doesnt need to, and also how to tell it NOT to cache so damn much, id like to configure caching based on folders/applications to define inclusions/exclusions just like a firewall. I want a firewall for my ram:)
I insanely HATE how firebox gets paged out to swap when not used and minimized, can mozilla team just hack/tweak their code someone to force most of it not to swap out, or use none-pageable ram allocations?
Situation 2. XP with 256 meg ram, ZERO swap/vm. Boot up minimum services/setup, using 150meg free unused).
Why not just leave everything in ram, and page out stuff thats used least often based on historical usage not just the last few hrs. Dont cache everything from the HD, only really frequently used stuff and *ALL* desktop/menu ICONS, damn why is a 3ghz PC load 50 icons worth 100kb so slowly? Pathetic C++ code????? what is it?
Is it a case of "bugger it, 1gig ram is $100, cheaper than using good coding/design" ?
Trivial, its about as bad as a hill or a town of buildings... or factories.
Wind farms are not 1000 feet high and 500 feet wide blades spanning 1000 SQM with 50000 turbines.
Besides you could calculate it with a weather sim.
You can calculate the kinetic energy of wind any way, say a cubic area of 100x100x10 miles, X amount of air atoms moving at 5mph, do the math, turbines probably tap less than 0.001% of that energy.
Any one complaining is just stupid and has to do a proper weather sim and kinetic energy ratio calculations, if you dont, then your just as stupid as 12 century guessers.
ive used email (BBS) since 1986, so does that mean I would require training?
Biggest PEAVE I have often with companies is that they disable ability to 'read' your personal emails that are on your isp or whatever via pop/imap. But web/html is ok... Well that was before, today with gmail its a hell lot easier so less of an issue to complain about.
Now what I want is squirealmail or some free linux web based email php/perl solution to look/act just like gmail in functionality but for your own mail boxes on the linux machine.

There are many factors for oil prices.
1. first its in US dollar terms, so if the USD falls, (and it will since confidence in US to service its debt levels will fall) price of oil will rise when the USD goes down since more people would rather have euro's or if they are real nasty, can demand gold rather than some numbers in a bank account which can decrease in value yearly, rather like negative interest rates, ie lika a hidden tax.
2. china/india is demanding LOTS of oil, they need HEAPS OF IT, not just for their cars/trucks, but a lot for fertilizer, they have to feed 1.2b people you know, and that takes a big-ass amount of ferts, which btw china is using too much of, so they are probably 'overdosing' the soil and setting themselves up for a big food failure in 2010.
3. people are for the first time installing LIGHT BULBS upgrading from kero lamps, then they get a radio, a washer, then a tv. Doesnt sound like much, perhaps 1kw max or less usage, but multiply that by say 5,000,000 new connections monthly as a 'guess'. and thats a giga-watt number that can only be serviced by coal/oil/gas turbines.
4. To make all those cheap plastic toys/shrink wrap, everything that walmart sells, needs lots of plastic, ie oil based compounds.
So its catch 22, the more you enrich/modernize the 3rdworld or china and india for more profits, the more resources they need like fuels/metals thus driving up costs at 3x inflation rate.
The other main problem is that there is few new oil fields or cheaper extraction techniques so finding new supplies is hard or maxing the current ones out is not possible since they are already running at peak.
And dont suggest pumping out oil at 2x the rate, since you need large oil tankers, and they take years to build so if there ARE NO tankers to pick it up then thats it.
And everything Hitler did, could not have been possible without the help of IBM and their mechanicle counting machines that made sure they could tabulate the census data and KNOW where all jews lived/owned/did and back 5 generations.
