"Ican throw my 42" Sony Wega LCD projection TV futher"
Yes, damn it... throwing distance! When will all these ISO standards and fancy AV forums enter the 21st century??!? It amazes me that no one realizes the most important criteria for a display system is throwing distance.
I'm off to Petition.com to force all those fat cats in congress to get off their asses. We will have throwing distance as an specification attribute in my life time!
I was with you until "...unless the algorithm in use was broken..." It's been said many times, here and elsewere, a secret algorithm doesn't make it good. PGP's source is available and it still takes brute force to crack it. Unless the masses can see and hack at an algorithm, you can't be sure it's good.
This not only seems excessive but just plain wrong. Reading TFA, the project was never in danger, "Every step of the way, the project remained on schedule." It seems like it was poor planning, or worse, evil planning. The managers knew the resources available and what was needed and just made the decision to work them like animals. Nothing can be proved.
I think the theory is: if Europe and the US have stricter environment laws than China and India, then Europe/US companies will more likely set up shop in China/India. Companies go where there are cheaper workers, taxes, and less restrictions.
I'm not against the minimum wage but I am against people calling it a "living wage." When you enforce that, you hurt the people making a minimum wage but aren't using it as a living wage.
High schoolers, college students, and seniors are working for experience, resume fodder, and a few extra bucks. Make the wage higher than what they are worth and those folks will not be employed for long.
I agree it's important but the selection isn't in a vacuum. The senate can block appointments and even claim the need for super majorities. Sometimes it happens (Bork) and other times it doesn't (Thomas). It depends on the strength of the appointee and strength of the senate.
I haven't been watching the senate races but I assume it wont numerically change radically.
Plus, not all conservative appointed judges turned out to be conservative and the other away around.
Holy crap, people! This could have been a great discussion of superstition and how people base things on a statistical count of about 20. I'm sure there are comments to that affect but I'm not going to wade through 500+ rabid fan-boy posts to find them.
If I had a million mod points, I'd mod all the "Kerry will raise taxes on small businesses" and "Bush is an imperialist" posts as off topic. It seems I'm in the minority so mod me to the bucket if you must. Yeah, I know, I must be new here and welcome to/. but doesn't the nerd-atrons, pulsing through your veins, find the/actual/ article at all interesting to comment on?
Let me save the submitters to the Politics topic some time. We can enumerate all the off topic responses and save reading time to thouse that want to read about the actual submission:
The Japanese version lists it as "Super, happy, lucky, fun, mp3!"
Actually, the MPIOs look pretty good. The AAA battery is go0d for foriegn travel and I'm too chicken shit to plug something into the wall. And I like the built in USB plug. Wish they had removable memory though. FY400

I would say the analogy doesn't hold too well. Except for some web based small businesses, I can't see how broadband can give economic growth. The best it can do is improve the lives and world awareness of those online. Having more computer savy folks is important to an area but I don't think it'll mean businesses will build there.
On the other hand, the local pr0n shops will tank within three months!

From what I understand... the government's computer/internet for schools program in the late '90s was a disaster. The jobs were a boondogle, money went for carpeting, and kickbacks were plentifull. Of course, It may have been anecdotal talking.

Jeesh... next they'll be taxing Thingy. Thingy? You know... Thingy.
We're still talking about MP3s, right?
Not to mention making it a federal holiday which /I/ wont get off but all the government employees and unions will.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Don't they realize if they eat Chinese take out they'll just be hungry in a half hour? It's not rocket science, people!

No fancy pluses or quotes needed. But I see we're looking for different things.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Dude... the last Senate vote was 95 to 0. Last I checked there wasn't a change of 95 Senators since the last vote.
