The tremedous positive effect on the ecomony was also followed by a tremedous negative effect remember? Roaring 20's to the dirty 30's? If anything large scale war time production is the same as getting drunk off beer, then being hungover the next day when it's worn off.
Now the government is pissing away billions and putting nothing back into the economy with the exception of a few large companies. The return to the American people will be less, plus taxes will soar to keep the gov't from going broke.
Not sure if the short/long term effects will be more or less then past wars but it's going to be bad for the economy either way.
"Based on decades of growth in CPU speeds, Santa was supposed to drop off my 10 Ghz PC a few weeks back, but all I got was this lousy 2 Ghz dual processor box"
Santa was unable to deliver your 10Ghz system this year for the following reasons:
1) Santa's Flying Car has not arrived
2) Santa could not use his sleigh because it failed the new FCC saftey requirements for subobital ships (something about flaming reindeer poo falling from the sky).
3) The OS for the new 10Ghz computer is Duke Nukem Forever which isn't currently available - maybe next year or decade.
"The eruption is 2.6 billion light-years away, compared to more than 12 billion light-years for the most distant known galaxies. A light-year -- the distance light travels in one year -- is a measure of time, too, so the galaxy is more modern than many, seen as it existed well after the bulk of galaxy formation had taken place throughout the cosmos."
This happened 2.6 BILLION years ago! Come on editors this is a *news* site and 2.6 Billion years old isn't new! Shesh:P
but I stopped when he started bragging about the "awards" xbox games won at Spike TV's second annual Video Game Awards. The award show I saw I wouldn't brag about to anyone.
This is at the top of the story: "Movie studios hate it. File-swappers love it. Bram Cohen's blazing-fast P2P software has turned the Internet into a universal TiVo. For free video-on-demand, just click here."
"free trade" treaties? Last time I checked these tree trade treaties allow the outsourcing to whichever country has the lowest standard of living and lack of employeement laws. The wealth gets redistributed - right back to those who have it.
In the US the press needs to keep the political parties happy with them. If not they might lose their Air Force One press pass and get over looked during press event question periods. It may or may not actually happen, however that isn't the point.
Hey if his daughter already knew that fuck was a bad word she obviously didn't learn it from the game. Fuck I bet her father is a big fucking swearer and should have social services called on the fuck! I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the word fuck, it's not like it's fucking over used. If it's good enough for Jay it's fucking good enough for me.

That's not a troll. It's a valid point - can someone with mod points and a brain fix this up?
Wasn't that in the pre-alpha release?
I bet there are a lot of broken coffee cup holders in the Indian police stations.

You see since he is a conservative "socialist" and "communist" terms that mean "bad".
The poster is a conservative, and so is Bush. Easier to hate something you don't understand as opposed to yourself I guess.
socialist agenda? wtf have you been watching? Bush is the wet dream of hardcore capitalists.
Jonathan Klein, CEO of CNN's US network: 'I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp.'
Later in the day Klein was herd coughing in the following way "*cou*cock*gh*munch*" as he walked past Carlson.
It was a hoax! I didn't upgrade my tinfoil and it still works just fine or maybe thats just what they want me to think. *PANIC*
