There's a few different classes of people wrt the mortgage issue. One of these groups, through virtue of poor education or simple ignorance, was preyed upon by unscrupulous lenders, and are living in a home they couldn't possibly afford without the unjustified loan. Then there are the people that knew exactly what they were doing, but assumed they could juggle the debt long enough to win the lottery or die and leave it to their kids. Another of these groups did everything right, but through no fault of their own (a lost job, an injury, expensive medical care) spent through their savings and found themselves unable to pay the otherwise reasonable mortgage payments.
The final group is a bunch of self-righteous pricks who care only about their own home value.
The average person still thinks 20 million is a lot. There's 28 million xbox360s in homes. Nexgenwars says there's 45 million Wii consoles plugged in, and in Hawaii I still can't find a store that can keep them on the shelf. Being hard to develop for, AND being the least popular current console, both count for a lot to a developer or game studio.
I assume you currently hold a health insurance policy. What possible motivation do you have to not exploit this policy on a weekly basis for trivial conditions? There is no fiscal difference between paying a large sum to Aetna and paying a large sum to Uncle Sam. A quick perusal via google shows an example yearly cost of about $7000 for the average basement-dweller. Shouldn't you get your money's worth out of that?
I know you're just trolling, but I would love an extension like Compiz for my mac. Sorry, I'm easily amused, and the professional, simple, clean graphics that come with OS X just get boring.
I've served in the armed forces and voted in 3 Presidential elections. No one can ask more from a citizen than to intelligently vote and to take up arms when needed.
That is an absolutely salient observation for any time somebody parrots the line about the founding fathers. Those guys, well, they're dead. WE are the country now.
Ah, so almost as much as the Iraq war cost us. Well, at least we'll be building bridges and doing real science, not blowing up bridges and suppressing any hint of climate change research.
Electronic reflexes are faster than yours. Electronic senses are faster than yours. I would absolutely beg for this kind of armor if I was in a situation where I might take a sniper bullet. There's absolutely no way I could see the muzzle flash, recognize it, judge the bullet, and move out of the path fast enough. And if you take your idea of an audio/visual cue, you merely add the human reflex time to the machine's..."wtf is that beeping noise?" *arghI'mdead*
And you think questionable accounting isn't something every company does? I wouldn't be at all surprised if it eventually came out that one of Dell's(or similar company) purchases was linked back to Psystar. Nobody comes out of nowhere with the capital to take on a long and vicious court case against a large and well-performing company with a history of litigiousness.
I'm not exactly a normal user, granted. However, I have 5 apps open right now, and I only just turned my computer on when I woke up. I predict this starter edition will go over exactly as well as the previous windows starter editions. i.e., it will be non-existent in the U.S., and ignored overseas in favor of a $5 pirated ultimate edition.
Also the UK government didn't buy any salt for the snow we had this week because they thought global warming wasn't going to make it cold enough. Another example of why it matters when people lie about global warming.
Actually, that's only an example of idiocy. Anybody that refers to "global warming" and expects their local temperatures to noticeably rise is guilty of mushy thinking. A small increase in the global average temperature can cause a multitude of things, most of which will NOT be balmy winters in London.
I do something ver' similar. This is a nym, not tied to any of my other nyms, and not (as far as I remember, being fraught with every memory disorder known to man) connected to my "real" self at all.
Of course, I do have a facebook under my given name, but that's genuinely for family and friends. Private profile, no proles allowed.
Typical twitter inanity. It's not a GNU/Netbook, thus it's vastly overpriced and only suckers will buy it. Shouldn't you be living in a commune or something?
The real problem here is the existence of a "black hole" boogeyman. It's not a singularity of compressed matter in peoples' minds, it's an invisible thing that will, regardless of size, slowly consume the entire earth. Stupid people, or uneducated ones, are the root cause of this hysteria.
The most sophisticated weapon the united states military ever fielded was an M-16. Clearly, this iPod contained detailed technical schematics of this unbelievably powerful rifle. Also, every battalion publishes their entire enlisted roster on wikipedia every third saturday, so the Privacy Act doesn't matter either. Not to mention, mission details are routinely cribbed from bad Tom Clancy novels, so there couldn't be any important information there.
It's all about the M-16, baby. Those dirty communists are gonna get their hands on our pop-gun!
Mine was jailbroken around Christmas-time, for two weeks. I wanted 'net access, and the easiest tethering options were all for jailbroken phones. Now that I'm back around stable connections, I'm pondering reloading the firmware. Apart from winterboard and other theming tools, I can't find any real purpose to have a jailbroken phone if you don't need the unofficial tether.
I dunno about you, but one half of my family lives in the absolute middle of nowhere, supported mostly by welfare and odd jobs. Their broadcast channels were literally inundated with "DTV switchover" ads. Anybody who watches any OTA TV at all in the US either knows about DTV or has a severe brain problem.
Without the coupons, I absolutely guarantee they would not have purchased the $40 box. The program works.
Don't ya just love the republicans these days? There's nothing factual they can say against the first hour of the new President, so they're reduced to spouting irrelevant insults and pure inanities. Here's to 4 solid years of really pissed-off neocons.
tell me in four years time whether you still have to go to fucking work nearly every day of the week...what? Are you seriously pre-blaming the new president for you having to hold down a job? Seriously? I didn't think your kind (racist, extremist, anti-government) was that stupid.
If you ask me, an exploit in PHP shouldn't count as an exploit in Linux. First because php is completely cross-platform, second because only fools believe php is secure, and third because if your install was setup correctly, the webserver's user-account would have no write permission to code.
Let me repeat that last. When your webserver goes to hand out index.php, if it sees "rw-" for permissions, any exploit is YOUR FAULT.

I'm sorry, I'm not getting the dead knight thing. Can you use a car analogy instead?

"quantized" red shift.
You don't even know enough to know you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Troll more please.

I sometimes get hiccups lasting for 8+ hours. Please, by all that's holy and good, share your technique for killing them!

Only on slashdot will the supporting anecdote be longer than the point it's supporting.
Your markov generator's broken, buddy.
