Supposedly the goal is not to compete head to head with the proposed Adobe/Macromedia merger but to turn developers into designers.

That's about enough to print up twenty million marketing CD's with a powerpoint presentation on it and send it to the millions of possible developers. They should save the money and just give us each 5 bucks. Of course that would only buy me a cup of coffee but in the countries where most software development is going on you might buy the coffee plus still have enough left over to buy a pirated copy of XP.
The main problem is that the sites had names like drsmithfraud.com not medicalreviews.com. If someone has a site with a name like that it is probably not a dis-interested review, it is more like publishing a hit piece on the subject.
They should have called it thespouseofmrsdrsmithfraud.com
That worked quite well for
one washington insider.
I think you realize that I was using sarcasm. You should understand then that you are only arguing against what you perceive as my real message 'between the lines' so to speak. Therefore I cannot defend any specific statements I made. You on the other hand made statements that have some truth to them yet don't address the complexity of the situation and other statements that are not at all true.
You understand the law of supply and demand but want to apply it everywhere. "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Go learn what a cartel is. Learn what price gouging is. Then work those concepts in with what you already know about supply and demand. You will begin to realize that your current view is overly simplistic.
Your statement regarding rationing is completely wrong. Go read up on how rationing worked during WWII and you'll have a better idea of how it would work today if we ever need it. No delivery truck would ever sit idle while retirees cruise around. The whole purpose of rationing is to keep the system running.
No way for any country to engineer this? I think you are a little ingenuous. History has witnessed again and again what regional instability does to commodity futures. Do you really think it is coincidence that a president whose family is so deeply enmeshed in the oil business started an unjustified war in the world's main oil producing region? And even today his administration promotes instability in Venezuela, one of the largest oil producers.
The tax cuts to the richest Americans have only started to kick in. They will continue to gain more and more over the next ten years. Paying out another hundred dollars a month for gas is difficult for minimum wage earners but isn't even a nuisance to those who can afford a different colored humvee for each day of the week.
It's a pity that NASA's asteroid rover, which Hayabusa was going to drop off, got cancelled due to budgetry constraints...
By cancelling all these pork barrel projects the administration was able to give you a tax refund. I enjoyed my three hundred dollars. It paid for the gas for my huge honkin' SUV for a whole month. It would have been two months except that Dick and George's arab friends raised their prices. But at least all those refunds went to a good cause. If the democrats were still running things a lot of our disposable income would be going to cocaine farmers in South America. But we can rest assured that when the robed men that George Bush holds hands with collect our extra cash that they will do something good with it. I'll bet they have lots of charitable causes that they donate to. Yup, I hear those Saudi's give to lots of worthy organizations... So the next time you complain about not adding some expensive, experimental gadget to some japanese rocket just think for a second about where that money would come from and have a little sympathy for those poor millionaires who would have to cut back on single malt scotch and exotic asian hookers. And for what? So some scientists can drive a remote control car around on an asteroid. We don't need Science to tell us about the universe. Everything you need to know is in the GoOD Book. Want to know how the universe was created? Pick up a Bible and read. It's right there in the first chapter.
This is not a good power to give to someone who started a war over nothing but his own personal suspicions which then turned out to be wrong. And whose closest personal advisor commited treason by exposing the identity of an undercover intelligence officer for political gain.
So the question is what is the composition of these bodies? Are they rich in any materials that we may find useful to harvest in the future? If so, how can we get up there and bring those materials back?
Better question is how do we go out there and utilize those materials in-situ? I remember an idea where a shaft would be drilled in an asteroid then a big mirror would be used to melt the asteroid as it spins so it becomes a molten blob filled with gas which expands like a balloon. Once it cools it would be a big football shaped rock ready to build a city in. But Kuiper belt objects are the same as comets rather than asteroids and there's a lot less sunlight out there so this might not work. But wouldn't it be great to be inside Xena?
Whatever happened to self discipline? If this really does increase typing speed by not displaying keys, would it really improve your wpm that drastically? I think that's kind of a poor selling point in my opinion.
No, really. It works. How do you think I learned to drive?
In fact, there is very little selective pressure in today's society, where the number of offspring you have is rarely related to prosperity or the like.
While I agree that human engineering will likely eclipse natural selection in the near future, I have to say that from my observations, at least of modern industrialized society, that the number of offspring is still related to prosperity. However the relation is probably backward from what you were thinking. It seems that the poorest (and least educated so maybe that is the deciding factor) members of our society are the ones having children at the youngest ages and having more children over their lifetime.
My pokerbot started stinking up the house smoking those big stoagies, staying up for days at a time, using my credit cards on porn sites, having hookers come to the house, and drinking up all my liquor. Things just got out of hand.

Maybe the 'confidential Microsoft information' he took advantage of was how to steal employees from competitors!

And he should be called The UnaBallmer because he's about as mentally stable as a bald Ted Kaczynski.
Yeah but when it comes time to pay up:
"Not so fast, Comrade. You have heard of NUCLEAR VINTER?"
That's so true. They could be referring to the spread of that crazy russian rock music. It's cool, man.
But only after his license is reinstated...
Big Brother, of course.
Yes but add a latex rubber vibrating pouch around your member and then it's just like standing next to real farty whores.
