I think at some point, MSNBC realized that CNN was trying to stay in the middle between Fox and MSNBC, instead of staying in the middle between Left and Right. They're currently embarked on an effort to see how insanely far left they can go to bring CNN left of center before somebody at CNN realizes whats going on.
At least Fox tries to pretend its unbiased. Whereas Fox has never-ending coverage of why all Democrat policies are bad, MSNBC has never-ending coverage of how all Republicans are evil racists that want to rape all women all the time and kill old people and put blacks back into slavery. MSNBC "personalities", openly, with no hint of irony, call a white republican a racist and a black republican a "house negro" in the same breath. On a nearly daily basis to boot. There is not even the slightest pretense of unbiased coverage with MSNBC, its a straight-up fifth column. It spreads the holy message of the democratic party as though it was gospel, no matter how ridiculous that message might be on a particular day.
I think I'll stick with my BBC News thank you, I like their proper British matter-of-factly way of telling the news and outside looking in approach to US coverage.
The point is that a company that is "too big to fail" will never actually fail, under any circumstances... EVER. It'll either go into bankruptcy and restructure its debts, spin off portions of itself into other companies, or it'll be split apart and sold to competitors. This happens to one major airlines almost every year! Delta went bankrupt, went through bankruptcy, and then almost immediately bought Northwest and became the largest airline in the world. The next freaking year, the same thing happened with United Airlines and Continental. But all of a sudden its a national crisis and the automakers need to be "bailed out" so they won't go bankrupt? Well guess what? Even after the bailouts, General Motors STILL WENT BANKRUPT!! Bankruptcy court protects the workers wages, it protects those owed money like suppliers, the only thing it doesn't protect is the investors. The bail outs did nothing more than provide golden parachutes for the upper level executives and protect some investors who had heavy political influence. All of these "too big to fail" companies should have been allowed to go through the normal process. There would have been no disruption to "the system" other than investors loosing money.
Meanwhile, thousands of welfare recipients in California were tragically forced to use their drug profits to buy lapdances and liquor. Nobody knows when HP will fix this error so they can go back to buying new cars with their drug profiteering.
1ms?!? What fantasy world are you living in?
1ms is what you'll get between 2 computers on your own home LAN. You're not going to get as good as 1ms from your own ISP.
Sir! Sir! I wholly contest your adoption of the word 'insolvent'. You should appreciate we're dealing with a body politic that barely apprehends at an intermediate level. I henceforth substitute 'insolvent' with 'bankrupt' to appease the proletariat.
case:
No "Mitt Romney would have allowed General Motors to become insolvent."
Yes "Mitt Romney would have allowed General Motors to go bankrupt."
Kindly ignore that General Motors did go bankrupt and was renamed Motors Liquidation Company. Pay no mind that a Motors Liquidation Co. then sold its healthy assets to a newly created entity that then renamed itself General Motors. Finally, flush down the memory hole that the same end game would have been achieved had Motors Liquidation Co., at the time still named General Motors, never received its much vaunted and extolled "bail outs".
Its for the betterment of the nation. I'm sure you'll agree.

A lot of these voting machines still run on Windows CE, similar to Siemens WinCC Flex HMI. They typically come with calibration software built in, once you launch the calibration you have to tap on several cross hairs that appear one after the other. The touchscreen is measuring resistance, when you run the calibration software it adjusts the amount of resistance it looks for to determine where you're tapping on the screen.
I just watched a documentary about this on Netflix, called The Story of 1, starring Terry Jones of Monty Python fame.I think it mentioned the ruler wasn't invented until sometime in ancient egypt.
There was at least one study that showed people who had the regular flu vaccine for the past 10 years was immune to swine flu. Remember, the reason swine flu was so "scary" was because it killed people with healthy immune systems instead of old people and babies like the regular flu.
100% of Doctors in the United States recommend that parents and primary caregivers get a TDAP booster vaccination if they've never had one when the new baby is on the way.
Self contradicting article. Summary says "even for flights hundreds of miles from American airspace" and then the article says "air routes that over-fly US airspace". So which is it?
I was starting to feel spoiled with how low hard drive prices were before the floods. But now, even months after the floors 1TB drives are still more than I paid for 2TB drives before the floods, I don't feel spoiled anymore.
Why yes, they did do a few studies. The studies showed no correlation between vaccines and autism but showed a strong correlation between autism and living within 100 feet of a freeway.
That's how you know he was lying. 100% of all doctors in the US would refuse to inject an egg based vaccine into a patient they know has an egg allergy. They would simply go through the extra steps to order the non-egg alternative and have you come back when it arrives.
Were you actually listening to what the doctor was saying or where you watching Sesame Street at the time?
Doctors ask you if you have an egg allergy before you have any vaccine because they will not give you an egg based vaccine if you are allergic to eggs. There are alternatives such as vaccines grown in tobacco plants.

No, I'm not being serious.

As far as I can tell they stopped updating the desktop version, as seen on the Commodore 64, very early in development.

Honestly, that extra projection stuff just seems like it would be horribly distracting

The United "Tapas Box" is pretty awesome. Well, it was awesome last year when it was only $5, they've since raised the price to $7.50...

No, natural gas turbines tend to be far more gigantic than used in aviation do a google image search for Siemens gas turbines

Thats right, concentrate on the nipples and not the total lack of a mammary gland. Cuz its the nipples that make milk, not the mammary gland.

One wonders why a USA based company would go all the way over to Germany to sue another USA based company....

Tamiflu is not a vaccine. Vaccines only work before you've been exposed to a disease.
Tamiflu is an anti-viral you can take after you've already been infected.

just get the tobacco grown version, you anti-vax weirdo. you're probably lying about being allergic to eggs to begin with.
