The bubble won't pop unless we have a global currency war in which all major nations start to purposefully devalue their own currency in order to bolster exportation of goods and services. China has publicly stated they are ready for this "war" (financial, not militarily...though could lead to that...) with Japan and the US egging them on. And to be fair, it's the Chinese partially to blame for keeping their on currency under valued in fact. Hypocritical of course.
Basically, cities like Shanghai will only increase in wealth like Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Moscow. There are too many people competing for the same jobs in the same space.
3D handheld scanners are not cheap. Yet anyways. But yes, I can imagine a torrent of 3Dz scanz (gotta use 1337 speak) hitting the net. And you guys thought the RIAA and MPAA were pissed...
Let me foretell what will happen here. And I'm dead serious! Private ownership of 3D printers will be *illegal*. A law will pass with full bipartisan support in congress. For the companies that need them, the operator will be required to be government certified and keep a roster log of all objects created and the materials used to create them.
Worked out well. I said what needed to be said (the truth) and parted ways. Don't let people get away with with bad behavior. At the very least, don't let them negatively effect your life. I sure as hell don't.
There are plenty of women that I despise for being sociopathic and greedy as it is. More so with men. But what's this "when" crap? Just call it out like it is. Don't be a coward about it! Grow a pair and speak your mind freely!
You're right. It all comes down to trust in order to maintain a cohesive and functional society. That's why a culture based on trust is so important. But it's a two way street between those that govern and those that are governed. This why it's so important to (A), have democracy and (B), maintain that democracy. Ronald Reagan said it best when he said "Trust, but verify". I would surmise that the American voter has done an awful lot of trusting with little to no oversight. This goes for regardless of party affiliation. In China, the people have no choice but to accept all forms of corruption in their society as they don't have a representative government. And like gravity, power will coalesce when left unchecked.
I'm surprised they didn't cast him in a giant bronze statue with the citizens wailing in front of him like a fallen demigod. Chavez must have envied the Kim dynasty of N. Korea. That mans lust for power and fame was ravenous!
As an oil company, or any business for that matter, you don't invest in the infrastructure and expect to take a net loss because some dickhead want's to nationalize a resource for populist support. BTW, this isn't the first time Venezuela has pulled this kind of crap.
And as a Texan living in Houston, fuck CITGO for flying the American flag half-mast in his (Chavez) honor. I refused to pump gas at one of those places, now I'm going a step further and recommending that no one else pump there too. It's anti-American to support CITGO!
So why do we consume the crap we produce? With our social freedoms in the US (relative to the rest of the world), are we letting our primal nature short our long term vision of an everlasting and functional civilization? So far, all indications would point towards 'yes'.
They had an Islamic revolution that to this day Mahmoud Ahmadinejad goes on rambling about the 2nd coming of Christ (12th imam reappearance). That, and nuclear war is the instrument by how to trigger this holy event. Either this man is a brilliant bullshitter calling our bluff, or him and the rest of his ilk are bat shit crazy!
NK is lost. I can't speak for South Koreans, but as an American, China can have NK. The lives of NK can only improve at that point anyways. Besides, I don't want my tax dollars funding yet another welfare state. Fuck em!
Obama, and more specifically the DNC own (culturally) the US media. Except for Fox as they don't count here on Slashdot. Anyways, the media will report the news with very soft gloves on anything a Democratic administration does up to and including coverup. That said however, I would support any POTUS command to counter strike with an ICBM. If your not willing to protect your nation, what in the hell is the point of a nation state in the first place if only to be subjugated by the enemy?
Unicomp keyboard suffer one nasty fate. Water. They have drain holes at the bottom of the plastics, but the slightest amount of water, wine, coffee, etc will short out the keyboard. Leaving them out to dry will not fix them. Symptoms of failure include random keys not working (even in areas that never got wet), to a short in which a key constantly repeats. I tried to dry them out with a hair dryer with no success.
So here's the score so far. I owned two Unicomps. One died by a little splash of bottled water, the other some beer. My co-worker claims three Unicomps died from spilt red wine. That's 5 for 5 that died and couldn't be resurrected.
A pirated battery is one in which the battery itself is made in an unknown origin and labeled with counterfeit branding/labeling. So those $1.25 new Motorola Droid 2 batteries on Amazon may in fact be a bogus. Just lookup "Chinese Fakes" in the reviews for more information. Buyer beware.
A good defense is a good offense. Hence, preemptive. The problem with NK is that do not know who they are fucking with. Which is sad quite frankly to see an entire nation go suicide-by-cop.
The Chinese have been itching to get back Japan. Specifically those aged 50 and older (whom have politically climbed to the top within the rank and file). Many younger Chinese don't "hate" the Japanese. But they are very nationalistic due to a boost in confidence from growing economic conditions. Of course, that generation has yet to feel the real impact war on the home front. Then again, same could be said of the US or Japan. Also worth mentioning is that the younger Japanese generation are also becoming nationalistic too. It's a giant recipe for a disaster that ought never happen. I believe war will breakout between China and Japan and we will get politically sucked into it if not out-right militarily.
Two things need to happen. 1. Japan needs to grow a pair and acknowledge their past unjust aggressions toward China, the invasion and make amends to the raping of nanking. 2. China needs to just drop the pride thing and move on.
Be careful! Some phones have been documented to burn a hole through the pocket. Literally. Though if I had to guess, the owners of those phones were probably using an aftermarket pirated battery of dubious quality.
The New Deal was previously ruled unconstitutional. Roosevelt planned on packing SCOTUS with 6 new justices to counter the conservative bench. And yet here we are today with Obamacare. It was not a "Tax". Obama said so. Yet, it was rules constitutional under the auspices of a "tax". SCOTUS didn't even need to got there as an argument. But they did, because they feared Obama as a haunting familiarity of a prior Roosevelt administration.
No, they're obsessed by it! Both members have gotten elected by the people under the campaign of changing Washington. And their intentions are truly just. For the most part. But once they walk inside the beltway, they are corrupted by the very forces they're trying to fight. It's like the ring in LOTR, they wield it hoping to do good. But through them, the ring of power corrupts and continues its destruction and misery.
So what's the solution you ask? There is none. You just have to let it all burn. It's a natural cycle. This force is far greater than you can imagine and hopelessly beyond your control at the individual level. So just sit back and learn to enjoy Honey Boo Boo like the rest of the idiots that voted our glorious leaders into office.
Depends on if you have it plugged into the AC adapter. No joke!, there are two or three power saving modes for that EeePC if I recall. When the unit runs off just battery power, the CPU effectively shifts down into limp mode which is ok for MS Office Apps. But if you need to browse the web with Flash animation, you really really want that sucker plugged into the wall.
That has been my first and last experience with 'Netbook' series and the Atom (32bit only version) CPU.

When the name of your company turns into a verb, you know you're successful.

Mark. My. Words!
Good. As a tax paying American, I don't wat to pay for yet another welfare nation. Let China foot the bill.
Log Cabin Republicans. Such a group exists.
What? That the spouse is labeled as "single"? Hmmm, interesting...

You forgot to mention the wet/dry vac. Turns on motor - **sluuuppp suck suck sluuuuuurp suck suck** - turns off motor. Ah, hold on. Missed a spot....
