If the government wasn't spending money like a drunken sailor without taking anything in(ie like Bush), then the dollar tends to weak significantly. I don't see how the dems would have done worse by not spending money we don't have on wars we didn't need would have been worse for the economy. As it stands, the dollar is worth about half what it was when Bush came into office. Even given the fact that the economy has grown say 20% over his terms in office, the GDP measured in euros is about 60% of what it was...60%! The United States hasn't lost money like that since the great depression. How can you actually say with a straight face that this is a GOOD thing? Bush has killed the dollar forever with his reckless spending, and the Democrats nor McCain will be able to fix the damage he has done for at LEAST 50 years. Worst president in the past 100 years, probably the worst ever.
Yeah, but considering the dollar is all but worthless, buying domestic stocks instead of foreign stocks STILL doesn't look worthwhile. The dollar is on its way down even further so I'm dumping as many of the fuckers as I can. As soon as I get paid, I convert all the money I don't spend into Euros and save them. The short selling thing is mostly for show, Bush is trying desperately to point the finger for failing the economy in a huge fashion(he doesn't want you to realize that he has presided over the biggest loss in American wealth since the great depression). He is trying to distract people from his failures by saying that they are really the fault of this nebulous group of "speculators" and "short sellers" that don't really exist.
The SEC under Bush has made it quite clear that you as a shareholder do not own the company, the CEO and board do. This is just another example of how shareholders are getting fucked. Hell, the SEC ruled that you as a shareholder have almost NO recourse if the board picks a terrible CEO and then rewards them with tons of money. The SEC as of late is just another reason that despite being an American citizen, I refuse to invest my money in the United States. Bush has made it quite clear that the wealth that has been built up over the past 2 hundred years is meant to be devoured by a few greedy, incompetent, but well connected morons. If some scraps fall to the ground for the shareholders or employees, that is just collateral damage.
buy a bicycle. As much range as you have energy for, fits almost the same places a segway does, doesn't use gas, cheaper, and get this, is actual exercise. Something most people in the places that can afford one of these things can use more of.
Maybe its because, for the most part, if both parties are in a public place they tend not to talk about shit that shouldn't be aired in public. I mean I really don't want to be stuck in a plane listening to you chat with your doctor and friends about that STD you just caught(I have actually heard conversations to this affect).
Unfortunately the "license" epidemic is only growing. Interior Designers seriously are lobbying to government to require licenses for interior decorators...because think of how horrible it would be if your house wasn't sufficiently fabulous! The Economist did a piece on this, it turns out the # of professions requiring some type of licensing is increasing fast for the reasons you mentioned. And of course the politicians whose pockets are being lined by these special interest groups' money aren't really doing much to stop it(in fact they are part of the problem).
Government doesn't make a lot of money as a whole, in fact it spends it. But there are certain influential individuals who do make some coin and perhaps more importantly it provides employment at a pretty good wage without the necessity of having a useful skillset for a large # of people..... very useful at election time.
the massive amount the cops are spending is doing nothing to discourage use, and all that really happens is that:
A: Drug lords can make massive amounts of cash while engaging in very shady practices
B: People's lives are ruined because they were caught setting small amounts of plants on fire(meanwhile idiots light up massive amounts of the legal plants in giant bonfires are a risk to themselves and others and yet go unpunished)
C: Massive amounts of tax payer money are wasted chasing the former, and if they find them, even more is wasted putting them in a prison where they are no longer productive to society and branding them with a record that will cost them even more(and probably cause them to go from productive to an even BIGGER burden on society)
Legalize it for use in homes, but make sure if someone is stupid enough to do it and go out driving that you bust their asses.
s but the article then advocates some dangerous behavior. Write back cache only works if you don't think you will have a power failure, and as we saw on/. previously, that can be real disaster. He also advocates forgoing journaling in favor of RAIDs, but again that can be dangerous if your machine somehow gets into a weird state. Not sure I would trust mission critical data without Journaling or Write-through unless that data was backed up somewhere else.
by large segments of the population. Immature bullshit like this. You have a point, you can advertise it on your web site, but grow the fuck up. Doing shit like this will only turn people AWAY from your message.
Depends on the DB. For instance if you are running a DB that has lots of reads but very few(comparatively) writes, such as an online store(where you only update your catalog when you have new prices/stuff to sell, but tons of people look at it). But in those types of DBs you would probably be better of using lots of cache....
Computers are really good at finding obscure facts. As somebody said, and has been widely quoted: Type in "Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire" and the computer will say, "Specify type of goat."
Um...no particular reason for asking this, but which search engine do you use..you know, in case I want to run that query for.....research.....purposes.
Or maybe a lot of those pages are in non-Latin script. According to the Chinese government there are more Chinese online than Americans, and they don't use the latin alphabet....
Jeopardy also has a significant cultural "bias" if you will(don't really want to call it a bias because that is a loaded term in todays society, but I cannot think of a better word). Jeopardy questions range from ancient history to pop culture, some are pretty easy for smart people who are well versed in the language, others are just impossible if you aren't part of the mainstream culture.
Respect is the last thing white women want. Seriously, most white girls LOVE to be treated like shit. Its why I refuse to date white women even though I am as white as can be. Women from other cultures don't seem to have this whole "the less respect you give me, the more pussy I give you" mentality that most white women have. I'll get modded as flamebait, but I don't really care.
I played the demo, but was upset that Tycho and Gabe don't seem to have any voice parts in it. I'm a huge fan of the comic(well, this year has kind of sucked but...) and was hoping to be able to hear them in game.....do you in the full version? Or is all you get that really annoying narrator dude?
Seriously? Windows? Reliable? Easy to develop for(Nothing without a decent command line is "easy to develop for in my book) for? Easy to implement? Windows management tools are a joke compared to mac, and Linux has tons of really good tools that kick the crap out of the amalgam of XP tools that are functionally useless, confusing as hell, and ugly as sin to boot. Easy to support? Have you ever tried to repair a registry? Not fun.
