The problem is that the bottom doesn't pay taxes, and the top pays a lot less relative to the value they have and consume than the middle. This is not communist thought. It is simply outrage that the rich and corporations pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes, which is even worse when they need such a low percentage of their income in the first place for necessities.
It's easy to claim "communism!" when you've never had to budget $1000 a month take-home pay for food, rent and transportation.
It actually won't be spent, and it puts a much higher burden on the poor (and even the middle class) just like there is now. The poor spend a much higher percentage of their money than the rich do, period. So you will be putting most of the tax burden on them, even if the rich pay more for luxuries, it will still be skewed very unfairly against those who can least afford the extra tax.
The top 10% of taxpayers control 71% of the total wealth, though. So their overall taxation is much lower as compared to the power and income they command.
Pulling out big numbers sure sounds impressive, but they're paying much less than the lowest groups pay relative to the income. They should pay paying the same, if not more than the middle class. They obviously aren't, because that "lower 90%" that includes the people with negative income tax is made up otherwise with the middle-class who are shouldering a much heavier burden relative to their income and wealth.
You have to pay more, but the Harmony style remotes are about all I've found that are "easy" for people to use. You just select a task, and it selects all the inputs and such. It's actually pretty straightforward, and you can get a decent one for around $50.
Yeah... that happened to a friend's cat and Christmas lights. But she wasn't unconcerned. I have never seen anything move that fast before or since, and I've watched motorcycle racing.
Outlook is horrible for email. But it's about the only thing out there that integrates calendaring and email cleanly. Zimbra makes it possible, but it's still clunky. And I'm saying that as compared to Outlook.
Outlook's value proposition isn't in email. It's in scheduling and calendars combined with your emails. And I hate that I have to say that.
It is. But it's a pain in the ass. You have to open one, then go start a new copy of Powerpoint, and then open the second presentation. Same thing with Excel. Otherwise they're all locked to the same window.
An unfair contract with an oligopoly fucks everyone. If your choices are "get a cell phone" or "don't", you have very limited options for not getting screwed. Free markets don't work when there isn't free competition. That's where the government has to step in to protect the consumer.
Or would you rather have the old days where AT&T owned everyone's phones, which we aren't far from in the mobile space?
Glasses can look nice. Just don't wear the 80's "geek" glasses. Yes, they're more functional because the lenses are huge. You look like a tool. Get some contacts or a more stylish pair.
Sometimes it's just getting "lucky" and hitting it just wrong. My wife has a Nexus One, has a pretty well protected design. I also have one, and have dropped it a few times. She dropped hers once, and the screen completely went. It didn't break the digitizer, the glass face, but it completely screwed up the AMOLED.
I like just posting my own Bible quotes when I see them starting to gain critical mass in my friends. Stuff like 2 Kings 2:23:
(2:23) "As he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head." (2:24) "And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."
Are you stupid? If the public gives them money for something, they most definitely owe us some service. There's no hypocrisy involved. It's basic economics, and it's a situation where the average American is getting fucked from their tax dollars being paid for no value returned.
The problem is that our elected morons didn't set the requirements. They don't not owe us services, they just don't LEGALLY owe us anything. Big difference.
1) "Anonymous" was capitalized in the summary. That's a big hint that it's a proper noun and not a concept. 2) I agree 3) The word website was necessary. They didn't knock anything other than the websites off the 'net, so being non-specific would have been disingenuous.

Nope, it's not. It just means that you get fucked because you aren't as big as Google.

Larry and Steve are good friends. I would bet a lot of money that this is a "strategic" decision, not something in favor of customers directly.
Your parents are technical enough to be opening local files in a browser, but not enough to know the "Ctrl+O" shortcut?

It's only 115 volts. That's not a lot of voltage trying to force through a ton of resistance to ground.

"I lost it"
"Where?"
"In a dumpster. After running over it a few times."

s/less/fewer. We apparently need better teachers, too ;)
Now we just need to put that to a vote to see if it'll pass...
It's God, dude. He can do anything. Didn't you know?

It's always fun to get the responses ;)

Not quite. They still put "(laughter)" into the subtitles
You don't have multiple levels of NAT. You tunnel a single port through. Say that again when your ISP starts doing NAT before it gets to you.
That's Hyperthreading. AMD's upcoming single-core multithreading is different, and I think it has the potential to be much more efficiently divided
