1. dont let any one pay less than 10% income tax especially if they have more than a million in assets/income. 2. instead of giving $100 to welfare recipiants, to buy $100 of food, force the super markets to give $100 of food to that person for cost price which would be less than $30 to the state. 3. force all govt departments/unis to NOT spend all their allocated budgets, if they spend 90% and leave 10% in surplus, give 30% of that surplas back as staff bonuses, we all know that govt departments act like little sovient unions, spending all the cash they get and never shop around for the cheapest/best deals. 4. why are banks making such large margins on loans, and fees. Allow people to use fixed/low 5% credit cards. Banks still make money, the rich pension funds do not, but who cares.

Because govt employees have NO BOTTOM line, or profit counter, they can be as slow as they like, lazy as they like. Why do we need 40% of the population working in govt jobs? Too many managers. 6. Screw OPEC, free oil prices like any other product, if it costs $20 to dig it up, sell it for $25, not $65. We dont need $2b a day moving to the middle east, they are making $200billion a year in SURPLUS each year FOR ZERO EXTRA WORK. 7. the big money saver/earner, legalize soft drugs, tax em at 30%. No more crime, no more mafia, no more crime, 90% less police problems. Get a clue. Save billions, earn billions more. Make it like alcahol which is really a bigger killer/problem but everyone loves it coz its legal and other drugs are not.
When in australia, it was always the local office that had to get up at 6am or do calls at 10pm to USA.
NEVER ONCE, did the americans get off their ass at 8pm to call australia.
But in a world where 99% of jobs are outsourced to india, where will the american customers earn the dollars from? Working at walmart? Its no future for america, you cant grow debt at 3x inflation for infinity, eventually something will rebalanced, its like a drunk cannot drink his hang over away.

Dude, are you that poor you earn $2 a n hour and it will take you weeks to save for one like a SNES did in 1987?? Dude people paid $4000 in equiv 2005 dollars for amigas etc....
Get some reality check, this isnt expensive, its all new silicon.
How do you define cost, the first 12months are always 100% return on R&D, ie 1 billion dollars, / 2 million people = $500 each.
Nahh, sony wants to still make a $900 HDDVD player, that costs them $18 to make in china
After all, HDDVD is just the same as current DVD, but high res/speed processors and more ram ($2 more) with current usual DVI out again, barely any cost.
Bluray readers.... well, bugger all I suspect, but they will just talley up the last 7 years of research dollars and divide it by the next 12 months shipping units = $1b/2m = $500 min wholesale.
Economics is supply/demand and production capacity vs consumption capacity.
If there is TOO MUCH production for too little profits, and not enough consumption....
what do you do?
Destroy capitol so that creates demand for more goods because it requires construction of new goodies.
Sounds cruel, but thats the truth, if ever product was perfect in v1.0 and never deteriorated or broke down or faded color, or 'died', production would grind to a steady tiny trickly once everyone had everything.
Hence, real life and dna, those products die eventually, so they constantly need consumtion to create new ones.
We need to expand outside the plant to really grow the economy at a 100fold speed.
Average movie = 5-7gig, add 50%, and its 7 to 10.5Gig
Add in better mulitpass compression, and VBR, you can fit HD movies today on 9gig DVDroms in mpeg2, although todays $30 dvd players cant play em, china could easily make hybrid smart dvd players for $30 more than could decode/play larger res MPEG2 video in VOB format with DVI/YUV outputs just as digital-tv-STB.
Theres not much a leap to HD, when $150 STBs can play digitalhd-tv, so why not just add a dvdrom to those and away you go. First one to market that from china will kick ass - china has the #s in terms of consumers willing to buy china brands, and not 900% markup japan/uas goods.
Content is the missing link, though im sure pirates can easily slowly build their own out of date hd library from digital-tv/cablehd sources.
I hate those big power bricks that when plugged in, wont allow a second small power socket to fit. Its too damn fat.
Cant they either make em thin, or use a wired plug - like laptops.
But what we need , are DC outs at the back of PCs, so I can plug the wifi, or adsl modem and 8port switch into the back of the PC and use the PCs power.
Thats like asking someone from 4th century rome to inspect your retail box of an intel3.2ghz cpu.
Hardly impressive in the 4th century, useless without a mb and AC power.
Yes we are 10000x more advanced than yr301, but we can only go further, and only monopoly govt run/mafia style corporates will slow technology down. How much money was made on world oil sakes? 90m barrels a day, *365 *65USD = 2135250000000 (2.2trillion dollars)
How much did it cost to dig it up with 30yr old platforms and $5/phr wages in asia/russia/middleeast? less than $200b, so where is the rest of the 1.9trillion in profits?
You make blacklight work and all those rich bastards will kill you because they LOOSE 1.9 TRILLION YEARLY, thats YEARLY, not life time, thats 25 trillion dollars per 10 years. Enough to fund 1000 shuttles blackops and 100 underground cities and 5 moon bases!!!
You think they would waste it all in 200 stock funds/pension funds ? Add up the US stock market, it cannot absorbe 1.9 trillion yearly, thats 20% GDP. Though you do see M1/M2/M3 money supplies going up by 6%, so thats where part of its going, in funding debt.
Do the maths, follow the money, its not all in some bank account or mutual traded fund.
High oil is earning govts huge taxes, increasing/funding debt, keep rates down. A fall in oil prices will kill a lot of wealth generation of the global mafia. Modern industrialization would not be possible without oil , ie fertilizers/plastics/fuel.
One final point, oil is not fossil based, WTF did 100 billion tonnes of animals come from? 500 million tonnes ofplants, and how did they end up 7 miles below the ocean crust?
So, you build 100m xbox's sell em, have 100m customers all on broadband in the lounge room.
Now, its 100% interactive, fast, and you have a way to charge and make dollars.
You have no successfully displaced all CABLE-TV corps, TELCO-CORPS, MUSIC-RETAILERS, total market, oh ~$100billion +
Now on xb0x360-live, I bet that come december + , you will be able to buy broadband delivered games 60% margins there, broadband delivered tvshows/movies (no Sony movies though), lots of music like itunes, xtunes? again no sony music.
xbox360 is THE interactive settop box with no dependance on satelites/cable - just the internet.
Add in IPTV and then he can start selling cable tv, with no wires needed. But instead of 500 channels and $99/pm, you pay per tvshow or series at your own leasure.
360tv, 360music, 360games, 360voip, 360shopping
Before anyone blinks, presto all the majors have no choice but to play ball with MS, since they will have NO infrastructure, or if they dared, it would cost em 5 years profits to make one.
the 360 will be like having a startrek computer at home, at your service to deliver anything.
Now personally, If I had than many eps, id put em all on HD-converted to mpeg4 or something. One 600giger will take care of it, though a lof of CPU time to convert though, but more portable than 3 folders of 80 DVDs each.
Is it really that hard to download an app, ie iTunes and do cool stuff.
Doing EVERYTHING via the web is a waste, if you really want it that badly, make the Xprotocol standard part of mozilla, then we can run X apps.
Are people that lazy they cant download an app in 12seconds? or do corporates prevent app installations? Or is the real ticket here, controlling the user, via one app, no 200 versions to maintain ??
K1-12 is designed to keep things slow and to the level of the teachers.
Kids can learn faster and do it all well, its just the system is designed to make robots and YES MEN.
The system cannot handle dynamic progress per student, its a FORD assembly plant.
Maths can be sped up 50 fold, first 5 years is ridiculously slow/low tech. Kids can learn 8 years in 12months. History - that takes more effort/knowledge of the earth, tho skip the bit about remembering dates and its faster. Languages - well , the whole language can be broken down in 1 4hr lesson into a massive 1 foot sized flow chart and rules, the rest are just like learning C++, all the verbs and nouns and functions.
Asia , where regulations are easier and less legacy to interfere with, and where physicical networks are too hard to build because of land mines or swamps or 1000s of islands. This stuff will succeed there and overshadow any US corporate FCC approved monopolist buddy systems.
Besides electricity will get more expensive and low power will win.
A) while running in windows, can it edit remote C/C++ files via SSH ? B) compile on remote systems using SSH rexec C) debug remotely via a SSH layer using GDB D) run from C:\IDE\ and not require a real setup.exe installation which might be prevented by corporate LOCKED DOWN PCs. ie. like a mac, can we just copy a running folder of the IDE and run it as is. E) run on windows but really editing/developing for a linux or sun platform.
High oil prices is what the US govt and elite powers want
it means every nation now has to spend MORE US DOLLARS on oil, which means more mideast richfolk have tonnes of cash, they dont know what to do with... and what do they do? They BUY US TBILLS/BONDS and lower the US interest rate. If it wasnt for $70 oil, your home lending rates would be 15-30%. China already owns more than 900b in bonds.
So make oil $70+, suck up 1.3trillion of earths cash, and use 30% of that to fund the US deficit and high debt and keep rates down to prevent Depression-Mark2 total melt down.
Now how long can this last? who knows....
As they say, the MARKET is more powerfull than any govt in the long run, maybe the elite just want to delay/save things for 2-5 years, while they cash out and save their asses, and then let the economy fall.
Face it, there is no free market, its all subtly controlled/manipulated, maybe not 100% of it, but >50% of it . Enough of it to matter.

Dude,
Tonnes of people can afford all 3 consoles.
What are they? 4 days wages at most if you work a crap job.
12 hrs wages if you are a professional.
Wake up man, back in 1990, it took YOUR PARENTS 2-5 weeks spare wages to save up for the elcheapest
Amiga!!!!
Would any parent TODAY pay $4000 for a games console???
I appologise for 711 employees, I bet they can afford 2 consoles easily.
Even 16yo kids working at burger joints can.
There are no console wars, buy them all if you like the games. Hell, its cheaper than a new nvidia/ati video card.
Dude, any dial tone back doors to say.... shutdown system.
Or go to debug mode and allow dialout redirection to international numbers.
Or, #667 to drop queue
I hate those big power bricks that when plugged in, wont allow a second small power socket to fit. Its too damn
fat.
Cant they either make em thin, or use a wired plug - like laptops.
But what we need , are DC outs at the back of PCs, so I can plug the wifi, or adsl modem and 8port switch into the back

I personally prefer 1024p capable LCD widescreens, not plasmas, not CRTs.

Or is this what MS is planning to do , whammoo, take out itunes direct to the lounge room.
Makes sense, and I BET IT WILL happen come release date.

Dude, if you can make a 911 call, then use your damn brain and say
"hey im at 21st and 85th street tower, floor 54"
No system is perfect, and its better to get some call in than nothing.
GPS is easy, even if you loose sat contact, then duhhh, you have a record of the last 10mins of avail signal, so you
can locate yourself roughly.
And, if you are in a building, then damn pick up the normal phone, not every phone will be voip.
If your in a forest, then yeah, gps will work, and im sure the cell phone wouldnt.
ANd with camera phones, well, you can take the photo of wher eyou are and send it to 911 too, if they can recieve
them.
If voip has double the middle men, then why arent land line calls and cell phone calls DAMN DIRT CHEAP????
coz they are raking it in.
So much for those PRO JAVA Programmers saying
"Java is as fast as C if not faster"
No amount of JIT will fix a badly designed lopped/recursive code that copies/moves the same data struct
30 times to do some simple opp.
No, talk to their managers, as they decide which 'features' or 'bugs' get priority and attention.
Does it ;
A) while running in windows, can it edit remote C/C++ files via SSH ?
B) compile on remote systems using SSH rexec
C) debug remotely via a SSH layer using GDB
D) run from C:\IDE\ and not require a real setup.exe installation which might be prevented by corporate LOCKED DOWN PCs.
