"by some of the nation's biggest banks to tack on new debit card fees, thousands of disgruntled consumers have already either left or pledged to leave their current bank for a community bank or credit union"
The use of consumer rather then customer in that part of the summary was what threw me off. And it almost seems as the more things are failing with the world economy, the more the words consumer and consume is attached to actions that have very little to do with actually using up some resource or other.
Been using that as my Linux distro for a couple of years now, and it can take some interesting levels of abuse. I have rolled back borked installs of such things as udev and glibc thanks to the versioned subdirs.
That is what makes Aspergers stand out, and may be harder to pick up on, as language development is not as affected. Not sure if Jobs fits tho, as aspies have a very innate sense of right and wrong, and Jobs seemed to consider himself and his projects as exempt from the normal rules.
Seems like what i have been told was the basis for Lovecraft's writing, except with the extension that visitors from distant stars would bring their "physics" with them.
The Android "fork" holds a task scheduler that is quite peculiar, and tho i have not payed attention as of late i think their attempts at having it pulled into the main source was resisted because of how extensive it was.
I would say it heavily depends on the plate, or more accurately its glazing. We have a older set in the house that makes a annoying noise if there is the slightest angled contact between the plate and fork.
They put their faith in competition driving the government-facing prices down. Problem is that government tasks are often so specialized that there is few companies to choose from, and they are likely staffed by the former department workers anyways. And this comes on top of the paperwork required to put tasks out for bid, gather offers and evaluate them, as well as dealing with any misconduct claims related to the mentioned process.
And that is why corporate-friendly politicians love talking about "small" government.
Sad thing is that corporate law basically ends up being a rollback of the hard won democratic processes the west takes for granted these days. This by moving more and more government tasks into the private sector and hiding details behind the cloak of competition. Never mind that the largest multi-nationals basically have no competitors, and can match the GDP of smaller nations...
Replace duke with chairman and basically your right back to the feudal days.
No, it does not. It simply acts as a disply for the Liveview app running on a Android phone (the app is available via Android Market, and will function on any Android 2.0 or later phone). All the smarts are in the phone, and as such Liveview will be more or less a expensive watch without it.
You can make those predictions thanks to generations of gathered data about the materials and designs involved.
With at least the fresh water school that is not the case for economics. They just assume everyone have access to perfect information, 24/7. From national leaders to the lowliest burger flipper. And based on those assumptions, all economic behavior should be rational and with the goal of getting as much utility out of every exchange as possible. I would love to see a burger flipper that knows the every last detail of the production of a smartphone and so can tell if phone x gives better utility then phone y.
Or try selecting between multiple variations of a basket of products. As a engineer you can probably grasp how the numbers scale once you start adding products to the baskets. 1 or 2 variables may be possible, but 3, 4, 5? Economists assume we do this each and every time we go shopping.

Best guess, somewhere around the 70s/80s with the switch from a wage to credit...

How well do it handle multi-column documents that can't be reflowed?
Why has that word replaced customers?

Was there not a issue of missing membership dues from USA some years back?
The very issue of turning IP into name and address without a court order is enough to give some shivers.

Iraq is the most recent attempt at getting pure capitalism shocked into existence. So far failed attempts are Argentina, Peru and Russia.

Envision those "arms" holding a rifle in the firing position and things start to make more sense...
F-35 perhaps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II
the J-35 would be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_35_Draken

Like say a SE (or just Sony now?) Liveview?

Sounds like sticking with GCC or some other neutral compiler is the best option.
My understanding is that AMD wants to see FP move to the GPU.
But right now that requires use of special libs and programming towards that goal.
I guess their hope is that if it catches on then compilers and/or system libs will make this transparent.
Reminds me of the Torvalds claim that going from HDD to SSD may be the biggest bang-pr-buck upgrade one can do these days.
Real life is a downer if one take a good hard look at it.
