but it comes down to market size
Do I want to build a business on:
a) People that browse the web
b) Graphic Designers
also, if you go the b) route, you won't be manufacturing as many units, and production costs will be higher.
Let's hope president Chavez won't get himself one of these.
He can surely afford them.
This government should go after this maniac, he's a much bigger threat to the free world.
I agree that thinks probably work perfectly in Scandinavian countries. But I'm frickig tired of hearing they're better than America.
You people don't realize, that you can't compare how your system works to the American system and it's flaws, compared to the size and amount of people in the US, you're nothing but a lab room.
For instance I guess Finland has only like 5 million people, and you got a lot of money to fool around with social plans and other things.
That's not even the total population of New York City... The US is at war, and things still work a lot better than in some other countries. The beauty of this, is that this place is hughe, and the system (which is not perfect) is quite good. This country compared to underdeveloped countries, has among other things you probably take for granted: -> JOBS and Good opportunities! And High Paying Good Jobs -> Safety. You can walk at night, have nice cars, wear jewelry and electronics freely on the street without getting mugged, or kidnapped. In other countries you can't even take a walk in the street once it's dark. -> Reliable Mail System! You sure don't know what it's to live without one, I'm still amazed by all the things you can do over mail. -> Excellent Roads, Trains and Public Transportation -> People can prosper, and you can be as big as you want, I've seen a lot of money before me during this 2 years.
Also there are things I can complain about, I don't expect everything to be perfect, I can complain about Insurances, Medical Billings, Medicines, the War in Iraq, and George Bush.
This country is probably the dream of many people in the past, a place where people from many different countries could live under the same rules, together and in peace. I'm from Venezuela, and we were liberated from the Spanish Empire in the 1800's. Bolivar's dream was to have all South America as one big power. His dream is slowly becoming a reality but in the US. In here I feel closer to the rest of latin america than in my own country. I've met people from all over latin america and the world here. They come here for better opportunities. Yes, a lot of them ilegally and they probably end up being slaved, but for those who do things legally, they have a great future ahead of them here, and when you speak the same language (Spanish that is), it's like if we were from the same place, Bolivar's dream come true, we're like brothers in this place.
I appreciate the things Americans and Europeans take for granted, this country with all it's flaws is a paradise. Probably things work a lot better in Finland, Sweden, etc. but wouldn't things be perfect in New York If it had the budget of a whole country? of course.
I'm also tired of hearing Europeans tagging Americans as narrow minded people, religious, etc. I also came here with that idea, but now I know better. In 2 years I've been living here, I've learned that Americans are not stupid at all, these people like to travel, educate themselves, have good taste, party, etc. They're people like everywhere else. I hope, and I'm sure that not all Europeans are so narrow minded in the way they think of americans, although all the Europeans I've met in this country during the last 2 years (yes in this country, they come to study and work here), do nothing but complain about this place and how stupid people is, and how Europe is better... why aren't you there then?

Where did you download the video? The link on Slashdot snap takes me to a "Stand By" video. And I can't seem to find it anywhere on the net.
