The market dropped after the bailout, so wall street actually agrees with me. Could've went lower, right? We don't know.
Look, there are two problems - the subprime mess and the credit crunch. I suggest for the subprime mess that rather than bail out rich banks who made stupid decisions, we bail out homeowners who made stupid decisions. In the end, the bank is "bailed", but the homeowner gets to keep his house. And rather than buying the whole house, we need only pay it down to a level that the owner can pay it. (A lot of these are APRs that adjusted, so we refinance them at the original rate and a lower principle).
The bailout is simply a transfer of money that we don't have to bankers.
I agree with your stance - normally. However, for the congressional elections this time around I am specifically voting *against* all candidates who voted *for* the bailout. I don't care who their opponent is.
Hopefully they can pull their web developers' collective head out of their collective ass and make a web store that works on something other than internet explorer and windows.
Both formats are much better than redbook audio cd, both in terms of sound quality and format (multi-channel beyond stereo), but they were both DOA. Why? At the same time the engineers were trying to figure out how to make better sound, the market chose convenience with *worse* audio (mp3) instead.
I have a couple of HDTV sets in the house, and the picture is great for the HD channels and my old DVDs, but I still spend more time watching grainy videos on youtube because of the convenience.
Blu-ray and HD-DVD are, ultimately, the video versions of sacd and dvd-audio.
Next time the mayor is up for election, he's out. If not, the people deserve whatever more they have to pay. The new mayor, if he's smart, will also do some major house-cleaning at the police department.
Geeze. "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...". Is this spammer part of the US government?
When will you people get it through your heads that your "1st amendment rights to free speech" mean that the government can't stop you, not that you have the right to spend my money to express your speech.
I feel like I'm hearing Gomer yelling "citizen's arrest"...
Junk mail would be a better analogy, except for the fact that the costs are paid by the mailers, not the recipient.
The only reason junk mail isn't analogous is because there is a reasonable amount required to send it. On my end, there is a cost to getting rid of it, but due to it being limited by the cost of sending, my cost of getting rid of it is low enough to not matter (to me).
If junk mail was free to create/send (or close enough to free to not matter) and I received 11,000 pieces each day (my spam average), along with my normal 2 or 3 pieces of legitimate mail, there would be a cost to me, both the time to find my actual mail and the cost to get rid of 500lbs. of paper.
"You passed a law that said don't put any waterless urinals in the state of Minnesota until the board has considered them," said Shelby. "Yet manufacturers have come to the board and made presentations and asked to be heard, and the response from the board has been, no, that's against the law."
Basically, the plumbers union has to "approve" flushless urinals for them to become legal, but they're against them due to them requiring less work to install (nevermind the tremendous water savings).
I can't wait to come back later and find out how this is caused by George W. Bush, the US, or Bush's failure to sign on to the Kyoto treaty (even though Clinton was president at the time).
In 1993, he was the keynote speaker at the Ingres convention in San Jose. Awesome speaker - I still remember the theme of his speech - science fiction to science reality. Very inspiring.

that prolonged the Great Depression by 7 years or so?

Brilliant stuff...

IE came out in 1995 - I bought it with the "plus pack" when I bought Windows 95: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryIE.mspx
Netscape was already called "Netscape" in 1994: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Communications_Corporation

Seriously, is this 1995 or something?
You must be new here...
Just curious.....
Is Lotus Notes considered "competitive" to anything?

They should. The only thing that should cause a BSOD when plugged into the USB port is a live 120V line.
If you put them in charge of healthcare, they'll do better. I promise.
Think he's joking?

Read closely - Veeck is for federal laws. California is still a state as of this writing.

Same with Clinton. Well, at least the part of his presidency that came after the treaty...

I missed viacom, but that makes it obvious.
