If everyone just buys things and never makes things, then we will become a dumb society with idiots everywhere depending on corporates with our skills being zero.
Go tell your grandma to not spend 4hrs making that sweater or scalf, its only $8.99 at walmart, why waste 4hrs.
Yes if your a rich prick with $180,000 in the bank, go buy all the shit you want. But many many people are not rich and have tonnes of hours on their hands and tonnes of skills too but perhaps no job for many reasons, perhaps they are disabled, or in a bad location, or need to take care of a baby.
Besides do you really want to buy more chineese stuff and fund the chineese army?
Dude, look at the M3 money supply, how much trillions is lent out each year just for housing/credit cards. (http://financialsense.com/resources/fed/moneysupp ly.htm)
Those old farts who own pension funds dont mind lending out trillions to teenagers credit cards and 20somethings home loans that might never be paid off, just so grandma can keep living cheaply. But if you want real investment, nooooooooo, because all those old people will die before they see a return, pitty, trillions of wasted money all going on immediate returns just so grandma can get her titanium hip.
Dont forget, the FED creates tonnes of new money out of thin air, they could easily say, "well lets print 1000 billion in Tbills , sell em at 5% and give the cash to NASA"
Geee, doesnt life itself cause death, lets outlaw life then.
Why is everyone turning into pussy little gay girls, get some damn guts. Life is cheap, risk is easy, payoff is huge.
Just think of all the badass pollution/lead contamination, especially in LA/Sanfran where they build new condos over old waste disposal sites from the 60s that have tonnes of crap burried, but no one cares because local govts get some good cash from land taxes and banks get more sales and builders build more houses.
If you only listen to FoxNews that says, "Cold fusion is bogus bolony" and 3 minutes later they say, "WMD are real and are in iraq" well we know whats true and false eh.
he National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Thursday said it has arrested two British nationals with $3 trillion fake US federal bank notes in their possession, DZMM reported.
NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco identified the suspects as Paul Edward John Flavell and Sam Beany. The two listed their address as Unit 305 CEO Apartments in Jupiter Street, Makati City.
The suspects were not physically present during the press conference called by Wycoco at the NBI office in Taft Avenue, Manila. Only the suspects' photographs were shown to reporters.
Wycoco said NBI agents have also launched a manhunt for two other British nationals involved in the syndicate.
The two other suspects are Seki Mehmet Bayram and Peter Whittkamp.
Flavell and Beany's arrest came following a tip from international cargo forwarder DHL Philippines Inc. on April 14, Wycoco said.
The tip was about a shipment consigned to two foreigners, which was pending at the company warehouse.
The forwarder said the cargo was bound for Zurich, Switzerland.
The NBI dispatched a team to the DHL office. The agents were able to chance upon the suspects as they were paying the airway bill amounting to P53,967.
Company records show the suspects paid using a credit card.
Wycoco said Flavell and Beany did not resist arrest after they were made to open the cast-iron boxes containing bogus federal bank reserve certificates.
All they want is yes people, they know X bugs exist and can sometimes be fixed fast, but wont because the product manager says NO. They have no concept of 'create the best' , but create the just good enough.
90% of code problems and ideas dont need wierd puzzle solvers, try solving real world problems, not some useless puzzles.
Gee, mr wiz kid, why isit when windows copies a folder of 10000 files, and file #3 cant copy because its busy, it bails and stops, and doesnt ASK, continue, and try locked files at the end.
Yes I know they want to keep it darn simple so grandma can use it, but then you miss out on some real neat stuff.
How this for an entry test.
Drink 12 cans of beer, and then see if you can solve stupid puzzles, if you cant hack it under pressure, your useless.
Nasa WorldWind program gives good zooms on australia, i think its a combo of 2m maps and 10m maps. But it looks good, especially with 3d terrain (though offset by 1km tsktsk) , its nice to zoom in and zoom out in full 3d and spin it around just like those movies do.
if WorldWind at nasa has access to the WHOLE PLANET, and KEYHOLE has aswell (which google bought), then they will DO the whole planet soon, they have to.
Since keywhole did mars too, I wonder if google will do a mars.google.com and for fun, overlay the rovers tracks on it and its realtime 'faked' position visually;)
But check http://www.hot-maps.de/index.html
they do London too and I think its a cool interface that has realtime drag/zoom on it.
(Damn the 2min wait timer is lame, listen slashdooters, make better logic, 30second diff, 3rd post 60sec, 4th post, 90sec, reset every 30min.)
1. use $100m and buy UBD aussie maps or
do a co-licence agreement at $5m/year 2. write the webservice wrapper to their database 3. add the nasa / keyhole sat data. 3b. Pay digitalglobal $250,000 for an uptodate sat maps of aust.
But adding photo views of city/place locations linked to the maps would be good too from http://www.worldcityphotos.org/
Germany is alredy online http://www.hot-maps.de/index.html

well, you get what you pay for from grads and mbas with A grades, while those old school hackers that can code after 15 beers, could do it better.

they dont even have a clue to use SQL MSDE???
Makes you wonder how they can afford lawyers, or did they get barely dorp outs from mc alaska lawyer school in the arctic?
In australia, alcohol taxes are $58/litre, that is, a .37% 750ml vodka has a bout $18 tax, thats including the 10% GST ontop.
Makes you wonder who can make money selling $22 vodka bottles with $18 tax.
Not even the mafia sell services or 'tax' victimes that highly, they want a real return without killing the 'victim'.
Usual politicians excuse are, "we're saving the people from drinking too much" which is bolony, since they know that its a damn good earner.
I think if we reviewed every single tax/levy/fee the govt charges for fairness, we would see a 20% drop in govt revenue^H^H^H^H THEFT.
Now to buy $2m worth of ipods and sell em at $50 profit and $150 under retail.
Wooooo!!
Thanks stupid MOFO govt workers.
Imagine if they had an 1800 # for reporting dupes, wooooooooooooooooooo
better still a 1900 # might earn them tonnes of $$$$ for reporting dupes at 55cents/minute.
or if you started to drive the truck
wake up dude, 90% of the populace are inherintly stupid MOFOS, otherwise they would be experts in every field.
Yes mr X citizen, go read 1500 essays and spend 50000 hrs researching XYZ topic, then come back and do it again re topic #2.
Most rather just watch american idol then go to bed with their SO.

Use 1000ml toothpaste dispensors, not the tiny 3oz ones.
Ohh but if they sell in bulk they reduce profits because people shop less and are locked in.
Id rather buy one toothpaste container lasting 6months thanks.
Either a big ass 20oz tube, or a push soap style dispensor.
Look who the audience is, its not the geeks, its the shareholders or wanabee ones. He wants his stock to rise as its been flat recently.
Guess all those pension funds are exiting faster than finding new suckers.
Sounds good, considering the DOD is funding it.

thats why nasa gets all their parts of ebay for $3 and charges the govt $20000.
Common, if an application cannot decode a shortcut .lnk file, then the coders are uber weenie fuckers.
Its only one damn func() call to decode it, get a damn clue to all coders who can do a if string.Find( ".lnk") >0 ok
And if you do not want to use win32 calls, then damn well decode it ur self, its not 40 hrs work, no more than 30mins.
Whats the point....

at least airlines wont have to;
1. put up with idiotic customers
2. serve drinks and food
3. show entertainment
4. have good leg room
Just pack up em like cargo as tight as it can go.

and if you want good sat photos, download nasa's WorldWind earth viewer.
1. use $100m and buy UBD aussie maps or
do a co-licence agreement at $5m/year
2. write the webservice wrapper to their database
3. add the nasa / keyhole sat data.
3b. Pay digitalglobal $250,000 for an uptodate sat maps of aust.
But adding photo views of city/place locations linked to the maps would be good too from http://www.worldcityphotos.org/

well there are three rovers on the planet, maybe its their batteries ;)
or maybe earth pollution is leaking into space and the solar wind is pusing them towards mars.
hmnmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If they do a gyro in it , they can still fake a spec/design so that it will still work.
ie, tilting for plane sims
faked as a wheel thing, so the devs can prototype it, but not know about it.
4 ports, wow
heres my better solution, plug controller 3 into controller 2, plug controller 4 into controller 1.
And maybe plug #5 into #3 and so on. Just like a big-ass multi-path serial extender.
No need for 4 ports on the machine, save manufacturing and put all the effort into the 200% profit margin controllers.
