Bullshit. Buyers and sellers trade at the prices they are willing to buy and sell at. The fact that someone was willing to arbitrage between them meant they could do that more quickly at a better price.
If you feel the person behind you is too close for your safety, slow down until he either gets the message and backs off, or decides to overtake you. Idiots are marginally safer in front of you, because you can keep an eye on them.
But what would you charge them with? "Your honour, we have proved that this person was, on Tuesday 9th August, the target of a police waterpistol"? To convict someone, you need a specific act and a charge. Smartwater won't give you that.
Quite the opposite. Police in the UK are far more closely scrutinised than in the US.
The anger is not at the police or indeed at anything else: it is simply inchoate rage. Most of the rioters are young unemployed men, a group which is not exactly known for keeping out of trouble anywhere. Some were set off by lies or misinformation, and frankly the rest can be explained by boredom and good weather.
The economics of certificates is fundamentally broken. The person who uses the certificate is not the person that pays for it. Users should pay for access to a CA's certificate, making the CA responsible to the user for the certificates they issue.
That is some serious bullshit, pal. If you're driving in such a way that you can only be safe by seeing beyond the car in front of you, you are not driving safely.
The only thing that causes accidents is drivers. Not cars, not SUVs, not traffic rules, nothing. Buy yourself a copy of Roadcraft and learn what the hell you're doing.
Mainly because that is not the calculation the agency is making. You can calculate such a number, if you really want to, but it is pretty meaningless as it is very sensitive to the assumptions you make. Defaults can be structured in several different ways, and many technical defaults end up without a technical loss to the investor as the overall yield remains the same.
Yes, but you're missing what Apple does. They create new markets that cannibalise their existing space, and they do it ruthlessly. Some companies would have made the iPhone unable to play music in order to prevent losing iPod sales. Apple looked one step further, saw that the rest of the market was starting to catch on the idea of a smartphone that works, and innovated again with the iPad. Again, they've had the market to themselves since launch and they've probably got another year before they get real competition in that space. By then, they'll be onto something else.
My concern is that many people *do* use it as a financial plan. Worse, such people do occasionally win, and the resultant publicity encourages others. A couple who recently won the Euromillions draw had been pouring money into lottery tickets for years. Their ship came in, but for many others it never will.

If your debt is growing more slowly than your income, then yes, you can grow that debt however you like and you will still end up in a sounder position than when you started. The fact that gets drowned out in also this is that the US's long-run GDP minus it's cost of borrowing is still something like 2.8% - in other words, the debt can grow at anything less than 2.8% a year and it will reduce as a share of GDP, which is ultimately the only number that really matters.

Fair questions. When you work with national debt, you also have to factor in GDP growth and inflation. The US has such a strong long-run GDP that its economy is growing faster than its debt, and that's essentially why it can get away with a budget that spends more than it expects in revenue. National debt management should really be thought of in terms of thirty years or more, and this is the kind of time frame over which you can see real changes.
Clinton's budget balancing is a bit of a red herring. Yes, he managed to achieve an accounting balance, no mean feat in itself, but those accounts ignore massive liabilities in the form of Social Security and Medicare payments due many years in the future.
They can tell you you have a magical self-renewing contract, but it is not enforceable. Contract law requires consent, and written terms in a contract which do not reflect what a reasonable person would have expected to find there, if you were unaware of their content, do not hold.
They tried a similar thing with me, and I invited them repeatedly to take me to court. They sent me rude letters for about a year, but they stopped and I haven't heard from them since.
Balls. I doubt your ears can hear over 12kHz. The only thing wrong with CDs is the lack of a standard dynamic level. There's nothing wrong with well mastered compact disc, even if it does sound different to discs.
Yes. It's technically simple. Cinema has the exact same thing: sound levels are targeted to an average intensity and so you actually get a full range of dynamics.

If a cop wants to screw with your day, he will. That isn't a good reason for you not to drive safely.

Some legitimate grievances, some cultural issues, and large numbers of unemployed young males, always a recipe for disaster.

So, LA: lots of rioting, stores got looted. London: lots of rioting, stores got looted. Remind me again what gun control has to do with this?

This is the country that issued a patent for a "circular transportation facilitation device", aka the wheel.

OK, and while we're at it I'll come round and stimulate your local economy by smashing your window for you.
I recently moved a stereo installed by Simon Yorke (who makes turntables that cost up to £20k). The speakers were wired with electrical cable.
Balls. I doubt your ears can hear over 12kHz. The only thing wrong with CDs is the lack of a standard dynamic level. There's nothing wrong with well mastered compact disc, even if it does sound different to discs.
I'd imagine it's an artefact of vector analysis.
Put Timothy in one and set course for Andromeda.

Go away and read the claims in those patents. You're talking nonsense.
Why don't you smash your windows and help out your glazier too?
