...and after two years, Clinton "got" a Congress that was strongly determined to help reduce the deficit. Clinton, wise as he was, saw that this kind of was a good thing, too.
Of course, now we're pumping up that ol' Deficit again. Tax and spend? No, now we have "don't tax the rich people and keep spending".
the "invisible hand" works OK, when the majority (i.e, the side making money) is on the "right".
In this case, if most of the companies making $$$ are only hiring white males with irish last names, well, everyone else is screwed, because the minority companies [sic] can only hire a very small number of people who might not be white, male and/or have irish last names.
Sort of like buying organic foods and produce. Until Kraft Holdings, and a couple of other majorly big food makers go only organic, organic foods will still be a niche product, although they are getting more and more mainstream.
Organic produce requires more labor, so eventually the smaller organic farms will stop scaling because they will hit limits that non-organic farmers don't have, unless some of those limits are legislated on non-organic farmers (i.e., banning pesticides, herbicides, GMO'd seed, etc).
I don't see how it would be possible to raise organic oats for all of General Mills' needs for Cheerios in one year. Supply isn't there, and if it was, the price point would probably double the price of a box of Cheerios, and Wal-Mart would not be too happy with that.

Sure, except polar bears are only found in the Arctic (i.e., north polar regions).
Maybe you really meant to say penguins instead?
Oh the irony if the control software for the telescope used Windows XP Embedded...
but how are USB drives any more dangerous than a simple old floppy or Zip drive? Any removable media has this inherent problem.
I don't see computers in AP/AR offices having floppy drives removed. People in important places take laptops out of the office (think of the Qualcomm president who had his laptop swiped off of a podium at a press conference...), take big portfolio cases full of all sorts of documents home with them, etc.
Ride a commuter bus or train in the morning/afternoon, or airplane flight. Glance over what people might be working on on their laptops some time...
The actual damage to the company for losses of THAT data is probably WAY more than what joe schmoe could pull off of his FedEx terminal in the mail room.

If Microsoft was smart, they would extend the WinModem, WinPrinter, etc. again, to other external devices. Sure, let it run on USB. BFD, it's just a physical connection. But make the device dependent on code in Windows to function.
...actually, it's the other way around. SCO is saying, "we have IPWMD", while paddling a rusty canoe into Norfolk Naval Ship Yard, brandishing plastic carnival cutlasses and wearing cheap pirate outfits. "We will sink the entire 7th Fleet, if need be!"
IBM, with 2 carrier battle groups, several nuclear attack submarines, a SEAL Team, the Marines up the way at Quantico, etc., are just biding their time...
...and every version or another will change all the glass doors (big windows) from swinging inward to swinging outward, or changing which side they swing from, just because some hotshot user interface designer has determined that doors that pivot inward on the right-hand side are better than doors that pivot outward from the left-hand side, etc. (but they did something similar the last time also), and call it all "innovation".
If, in the end, we get enough data on these galactic threads and map out their fractal nature, and learn that they're exactly the same structure as ghost turds (i.e., dust bunnies, etc) on the floor?
Hmm..."imagine God deciding to do a little dust cleaning. It might look something like this: , and there go billions of cubic light years of the universe!"
Well, the power you can get with a low-end Dell (2400, advertising on TV here in the US for $400 after rebate) is insane, compared to what $1000 bought for you on a desktop as a "low end" system 8 years ago.
Why fret about $100 here, $100 there, by buying used equipment?
The differences between "top end" and "low end" these days are simply to be found in the video card.
Sure, it's "measurable" the speed differences between a 3 GHz P4 vs. a 2.8 GHz P4, but, let's get back to reality here.
My home "environment" gets along just fine on my 1.4GHz Thunderbird w/ 1 GB of RAM, along with the wife's laptop (2.4GHz P4 Toshiba), 802.11g and wireless broadband.
"sharing" those "wasted" CPU cycles is an empty argument. There is probably more economy to be had for everyone if PCs were instant-on like Palms and PocketPCs, from not leaving scads of PCs running all the time.

Or do you think that the software "donations" to governments, schools, etc., do not come off of MS' balance sheets and IRS reports at full retail value (that no one charges now anyways), or the Costco/Sams Club/Wal-Mart price?
The "best" way, of course, to implement this would be with Intel chips just coming out of the laboratory. If only Cisco would put them in their new routers...and of course, they would need to be put on NICs as well, and would be under ISP control.
Cutting off income without reducing expenses is the same as increasing expenses without increasing income. Just look at the deficit growth from 1980 to 1988: 1-odd Trillion to 4-odd trillion. So much about "tax-and-spend" Democrats, when you just have "spend spend spend" Republicans (and a Democratic congress that feared the President).
Clinton didn't make Govment larger. He saw the light and worked to lower the budget deficits, which helped the economy out.
Now, deficits growing, economy tanking. Any connection there?
