I really think it's wrong to blame the people who took out the loans. Yeah, they did some bad stuff when they got loans they couldn't afford, but look at the climate around them. Easy credit, a 'buy now!' economy, and outright deception by the lenders all led to their action. Should they be punished? Yes. Should those responsible for the conditions that led to this be punished? Even more.
Yeah, sure, people got mortgages they couldn't afford - it happens all the time; it's just that now, with the combination of their stupidity biting them in the ass, and the sale of securities backed by useless mortgages, the financial institutions are totally boned. Problem is, they could have VERY easily avoided this. Their own greed led to this - let it be their end.
Why are we bailing them out? So they can stick three more cocks up our ass? I mean, mine's already sore...
Oh, just go dig a ditch, tell your sister you love her and that you're sorry your marriage has to end, hug the kids goodbye, and get your 3 year old son to shoot you with the 12-gauge.
Yeah, but then your retirement becomes essentially worthless...
It's wrong that we're paying for their mistakes, and we will be paying for that for YEARS to come.
This is not capitalism - by influencing the market (especially so heavily) and giving money to institutions just because they're 'a huge part of the economy' we gave up capitalism. These people fucked up - by the tenets of capitalism, if they can't survive this on their own, LET THEM FAIL. Oh, boo hoo, a tough few years. Better than going even further into debt just to bail out a few rich pricks who made the mistake of doing things where the benefits were far outweighed by the costs and potential risks.
The radio thing, I can understand - radios are *designed* to pick up interference, and any interference can affect them. However, i think it's very unlikely that someone with just a game boy or whatever (something that doesn't use RF) could cause any real interference on the radio. If it's causing a big problem, perhaps a way to shield the antenna from internal interference is possible?
I think it's pretty good. You can get replacement wheels... you'll just have to buy them! In other words, the wheels you were given at time of sale are not an intrinsic part of the vehicle.
So just add a disclaimer - "this is missing certain features due to being used". sure, might need to lower the resale price, but oh well. Bitch to the devs.
Even chanting about it is helpful. If 1% of users contribute, if you get ten people to use it, and they each get ten, and they each get ten, then that's 10 new contributors.
In other words, expanding the base by sheer zealotry is actually a contribution in its own right.
The GPL *specifically* says you can sell it. Check section 1; "You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy." It says NOTHING about 'breaking even' on CD-R.
Why shouldn't it cost 99c? The only reason this is occurring isn't because of some fundamental increase in the price of delivering good. It's happening because someone wants to line their pocket.
We have a gas surplus in my hometown (the refinery is LITERALLY across the damn road from my house) and we pay more than anyplace within 60 miles of my house, even though all those places get gas from tiny Warren, PA.
That's actually a really good statement. Treating every layer as 'the only layer' rather than saying 'oh, it's fine, we still have (x-1) layers left' is a good security practice, I think. Otherwise, you end up with a slippery slope, and no protection.
I don't get why embryonic stem cells are so 'evil'. The little bastard's already dead; it's RECYCLING!!!
As to the 'book of fairy tales' telling them it's bad, look at the preachers. They claim things like "you examining your faith is the DEVIL!!" and "Only Christians are moral!" Is it really so far-fetched that they would also claim, to their non-bible-reading congregation, that the bible says stem cells are bad?
Also, on a side note: People who act like Israel has some right to their land, and that the Palestinians have no right to that land (ie, just a bunch of whiny bitches who want to take their land by force) really piss me off. According to the bible, which is what they claim to be 'divine proof' that that land belongs ONLY to Israel, the jews TOOK the land from the Palestinians! So grow up, get over it, your pet country doesn't have an intrinsic 'first post!' right to exist.
May be time to invest that money elsewhere. There's no way we, as a nation, are coming out of this unscathed. At least I'm lucky enough to be in school, with pretty decent scholarships, right now. Don't have to deal with the 'real world' as much as you guys.
Uh... I never said it wasn't much. And I don't really have much in the bank. Maybe a thousand dollars (most of it goes to my education). Also, I would HOPE that Wacopse Federal Credit Union would be a little more responsible than to increase short-term profits by killing themselves long-term (they're non-profit).

Penetration stats, in this case, are not going to be useful. How far they get in orifices is useless for marketing.
I have to say bullshit. And if that really is the case, we deserve to fail. We shouldn't be that dependent on that.
Hm. Never really thought of it like that. Thanks, I'll keep this in mind when we discuss this crisis in Econ :)
Uh... I was talking about the rich being the ones who fucked up. Probably should've worded that better...

That's what socking money for retirement is aimed at - self-sufficiency.

You never needed to stop. In fact, it made me very sad when you stopped. I had to *pay* for porn again.
It's not the lack of knowledge about Blu-Ray that makes you ignorant. It's the fact that you can't spell 'ignorance'.
And I think this was more of a "updataeable content" bit anyway.

Don't need to code to contribue. I, for example, work on user manuals.

Other things we could call it:
IMP (image manipulation program)
LIMP (libre image manipulation program)
RIMS (Raster Image Manipulation Software)
None of these other options are working for me...
Unless you have nothing.
