what about incentives, bonuses, and profit-sharing. A $10,000,000/year exec at least quadruples that in extras. Not to mention perks like the company jet, the company penthouse, the company whores, etc.
While there are plenty of bright Indians, and although the argument may be right that many of them are not as good as their lazy American counterparts (no matter how many extra hours they work, no matter how many more they can afford), you will never find Indians with the proper combination of arrogance and stupidity to replace american corporate executives.
actually, unless you've got a pretty big investment in IBM, you actually have no say whatever, compared to nothing. But it's your own fault. You should have read the rules before giving them your money. If ordinary people pulled out of the stock market (including 401Ks & IRAs) the institutional investors wouldn't have as much power. Although, as they saw it slipping, they might change the rules more, before they run out of gold.
Amiga never made Commodore any money. It was a last gasp of that was ahead of its time from a company whose sole success was the C=>64. Commodore beat Atari for gaming and Apple for personal computing. Nintendo and Compaq killed Commodore.
No, the world was never the socialist utopia depicted in Dungeons and Dragons novels.
Yes there were small, local "guilds" in some places that gave training in some craft and collected dues. But the word itself comes from Dutch, where the "guilds" were actually corporations, primarily wealthy investors with capital financing entrepeneurs. The dotcom bubble was named after the tulip craze in the 1600s that crashed the Amsterdam stock market. Sometimes the investors were aristocracy, because they were the rich ones. Like Christopher Columbus' voyage.

Your econlib.org signature link makes a *VERY* strong point about why open source software is the exact opposite of communism.
AIDS, Mugabe, poverty, and colonialism notwithstanding, most of Africa is simply the worst place to grow food, bar none. The soil is nutrient starved and the climate is inhospitable and the natural flora and fauna are hostile. I'm not just talking the Sahara. Even the temperate and tropical zones are far from ideal agricultural areas.
No the spark was not caused by hydrogen, which probably was not exposed to flame until it was on fire. The reason some people did not die, or smell garlic, is because hydrogen is lighter than air, thus it *rises*, which is probably why that big explosion you see on the video goes *up*.
Are you saying it was a forest fire that killed all those people?
Learn something else, today. The first sentence of that article is:
The world has a perception of hydrogen as a dangerous, inflammable, explosive gas
Look up inflammable in the dictionary, and then wonder why only the ignorant and the pro-hydrogen crowd claim it's safe.
The biggest danger is actually that hydrogen would have to be compressed (or liquified) in order to store & transport the quantities needed. This also results in a big loss of energy. On-demand electrolysis cannot sufficiently supply a powerplant. Electrolysis before combustion, of course, also results in a net loss of energy.
But back to the original point, yes, hydrogen is much more dangerous than gasoline. That is why we are able to extract more energy from it. The "boom" is the energy. And yes, the Hindenberg did blow up from the hydrogen. It may not have without the paint, but there was an awfully big fireball when the hydrogen ignited.
I know you're trying to be funny, but you should read the article. It's full of statements like this:
"In fact, in some cases photosynthesis could paradoxically increase slightly with global dimming as the broken, diffuse light that emerges from clouds can penetrate deep into forest canopies more easily than direct beams of sunlight from a clear blue sky."
Your feeble joke is like someone trying to make a parody of a Monty Python skit. Which, come to think of it, isn't such a bad idea. I salute your genius, sir.
I am far from a partisan fool, and I think Bush is a dunce.
However, can you honestly imagine former Vice President Gore speak an entire sentence unrehearsed. It's taken him years of voice coaching and he still has trouble speaking naturally in public. I imagine it comes from his innate nerdiness, which I'm not saying is bad, but you cannot point to one demonstration of Gore's intelligence. Unless "intelligence" means the same thing as voting democrat in your mind. Do you realize that by your definition, over 80% of blacks that vote (a small minority of blacks, granted) can be considered intelligent? And did you know that most blacks have southern accents?
The real point everyone here is missing is that styrofoam dropped 50 feet didn't do any harm at all to the space shuttle, and whatever went wrong, nobody knows now, at least not from a ultra-low resultion photo, and certainly could not have known before hand in order to prevent the tragedy.
No, the foam did not hit the shuttle at mach 6, it was accelerating as fast as the rest of the shuttle until it fell off.

I would not say that homosexuals are necessarily the most able-bodied, despite what the village people would like you to believe.

That's irrelevant. As the saying goes, they're blowing smoke where the sun already does not shine.

nobody flies less than 200 miles in America. Nobody travels further than that in Europe or Japan.

you mean it would have been way funnier if he had used the joke back in the the 70's or 80's.
They didn't have those guns last year unless they worked for Saddam or Al Queida.
Americans' fascination with guns (in no way related to your fascination with sex) is what keeps everywhere else from not becoming a direct war zone.
Canada has more guns per capita and more idiots. And far fewer violent criminals. How does that figure into your theory?
