I hadn't thought of the oil spikes affecting global distribution networks. Could this along with weak growth in the largest importing countries stall out the boom in the emerging markets?
Starvation is a key motivator in political unrest. There is already unrest in some areas of China and India from those left out of the boom(80 or 90% of the populace).
It won't be just there, in the US negative real wage growth and higher food and energy prices are squeezing the life out of the majority of the labor pool. Capital is increasingly being concentrated unto a new class of the hyper-rich.
I see a threat of instability and chaos emerging along with the threat of an Orwellian totalitarian regime. Interesting times indeed.
Channels?? Who, Alberto Gonzales? Oversight committees who swear they weren't properly briefed about this program? He's going to have to pay the price for his actions but for a few patriots like these we'd really be blind to the levels of corruption and abuse of power in our government.
I use NESEM for the Palm to play some classics also. Though with the old school rectangular shape of the WiiMote I hope to get my 8-bit skillz back. Had a hell of a time doing the SMB 3-1 turtle trick or getting thru Contra even with the 30 lives cheat. I have to blame my palm d-pad to retain my self-esteem.
I got hired at a 'mom & pop' to be the general IT jack of all trades. They had a peer to peer network running with some wierd ip scheme some consultant setup. Of course I setup a file server as well as upgraded the PCs from win 98/95 to XP. I took away local machine admin rights.
Well in a couple of days I got support calls from all the old ladies who worked there. Their webshots no longer worked plus they couldn't install those damn web games. I was able to hold out by throwing around some technobabble and scaring the boss about all those security risks on the internet.
Well after a few weeks serious support calls dropped to nothing. After setting up a linux box to run mysql and developing some applications in VB to replace the myriad of excel files they use,I had run out of projects. Between boredom and the boss eyeing me everytime he passed my office, I enabled local admin rights again. Lets just say between cleaning spyware and adware I've been staying busy.

Yeah, but can the tevatron create black holes or rip the fabric of the time/space continuum? GO CERN!

Exactly. I didn't buy the 360 for Live. I bought it to play GOW with 13 yr olds who constantly assert their views on my sexual orientation.
