Anyone who got on Deans bandwagon was an idiot. Fortunately the US realized what a lunatic that guys was before it was too late.
Another benefit isn't seeing the Dean lusers "Vote for Dean 2004" sigs in Slashdot anymore. They have all crawled back under a rock, too embarrased to come out until the next quack comes along in 4 years.
Actually there have been studies where they have found that people retain less information when reading it from a non-reflective medium such as a computer screen. So this is normal.
No, what they mean is that the application process to request suspension of the measure will take a few weeks to process. If they do not apply, of course then they would have to comply immediately. However they will apply and therefore the suspension of the fine and other items will be made, and this suspension will likely last for 2-5 years until the appeal is decided upon.
Wouldn't you rather get coupons for something you could actually use (baby formula in your case) rather than something like adult diapers (which I hope you can't use)? It makes sense to me!
No, they do not have to pay the fine or comply with the rest of the order while the appeal is going on.
In 5 years the EU is going to have bigger problems with Turkey and the other third world countries they let in to worry about Microsoft and their Media player.
Finally, a good analysis. IT people are generally unhappy because they are non-social. This is usually due to depression and/or social or general anxiety that was neved addressed at an early age. The more you work on the computer, the more you become removed from society in general and become more depressed. I have addressed this issue in my own life, and there are solutions available. Consult a health professional!
Uh, yes. Actually the farming industry has been decimated. The death of the family farm has done incalculable damage to this country, particuarly in the Midwest. You should get out and travel across the nation and visit the small midwestern towns. Many of them are empty, and the young people are leaving in droves.
Don't forget the only reason those jobs at Japanese auto plants are available is because of protectionist policies instituted by the U.S. govt.
Yes, now "U.S. companies" aren't really U.S. companies at all. They simply offshore the jobs to whatever country provides them with the cheapest labor that year. Total employment in the "auto industry" in the U.S. has decreased in the last year, Japanese plants included.
Another reason is because the mega-corporations (IBM, SUN, etc) have decided that offshoring proprietary work to third world countries doesn't produce enough pure profit. Luckily they have figured out a way to get programmers to work for them for free! The executives can't believe their luck, its a dream come true!
I don't know how you possibly could know anything about the US auto industry and claim that it is stronger.
There are now only TWO U.S. automakers left: Ford and GM. The domestic share of those automakers has been falling for the last decade and is at an all time low of around 60%, down from 74% 10 years ago. Employment has been declining at an even faster rate and GM has announced the closing of three plants. Now that is a stronger industry? Perhaps you are talking about all those Japanese manufacturing plants in the US?
As for those "lazy" autoworkers, it sounds like they work a hell of a lot harder than you do in your comfy call center, apparently only working when you want to - that is whenever you aren't consuming taxpayer (A.K.A "lazy autoworkers")supported services. They built Detroit. The US government let them down by allowing unfair trade by foreign companies, giving them access to our markets while completely closing off theirs.
The US should have told the Japanese to go screw themselves, and we would still have 90% of the domestic market and hundreds of thousands more employed. Of course, maybe you wouldn't be able to get your 400HP Japanese sport car as cheaply, but thats too bad for you - but good for the US worker.
Protectionism is good. Protectionism works. However the greedy corporations want cheap labor and are willing to trade long term propserity for short term gain. The same thing is happening again in IT, and with disatrous results. This time I don't think the US middle class will be able to recover. Maybe we all can get some of that "free" health care they seem to be giving out in Detroit!
Well of course there are other reasons, but I would say that his explanations hit the mark on all South American countries. Other reasons include the climate (believe it or not - just look at all the poor countries centered around the equator) and the related ability to maintain a sustainable agriculture. "The Wealth of Nations" probes this idea.
The problem is bigger that the first world and the IMF, since the problems have been around for much longer in those areas.
The biggest problem with South America and such countries is their lack of property law. There is a good book on this here at http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnIn quiry.asp?isbn=0465016146&itm=2
They would be better served by fixing these problems first rather than trying to enter in a bottomless pit of a cheap labor pool.
"A truly iconic candy of America, except now they're made in Ontario at one third the cost.."
Thats great for the corporation. Now Lifesavers only has to spend 1/3 of their money, while pocketing the rest. How is this good for the American worker again? How is this good for the Canadian worker when Lifesavers decides to move to Mexico because they can spend only 1/5 of the amount of money to produce the product? Please explain.
No really, we don't understand what your point is. Are you for "free trade" or against? You are apparently against isolationism, but support the worker. All that you mentioned in your post is: - You are 41 years old, a "punk" - You work in a call center - You live in the US where you can get medical attention if you need it, even if you don't have money - Outsourcing has happened before in the US in other industries (with disatrous results btw - just look at Detroit)
Please state your point clearly and slowly so the rest of us can understand you.
WHat the hell is your point? You are a 41 year old that works at a call center and apparently hasn't grown up yet. You had a appendix operation that I apparently paid for. What is your point exactly?

"senseless functionality in Windows, such as having an excel spread sheet within an email"
Oh yeah, I can't imagine who would find that useful. Certainly not someone emailing a spreadsheet to someone.
Graduate from high school first then you can have an opinion.

a) Quit it with the "M$" stuff. It is simply infantile.
b) Most professional commercial operations have redundant systems and don't go down when their single Althon gets hacked.
Microsoft will appeal, and the EU courts estimate it will take 5 years until a decision is made.
ICANN is the authority. No one cares what "YOUCANN" and their scummy ilk are doing.

Color PocketPC's and PalmOS devices have now reached the $199 price point. There is no market for this device.

The Toshiba stuff is obviously vaporware that will never be released. Microsoft has watches that are available now though:

By internal reforms, not by offering yourselves up as cheap labor.

What company is this?
Your premise that simply bulldozing a few buildings will magically get rid of radiation is false. End of story.
We thought of that when we created it, so we do not transmit back popcon in the stat list.
