The problem is their computer models basically prove whatever they set out to have proven. More than that, there's so much money at stake it's hard to believe no-one is biased - in either direction.
The reality is that as an individual there's very little one can do. The biggest polluters are in China and the developing countries. Plus perhaps the American meat industry. I stopped eating meat ages ago (for health reasons). Now what?
Yes, it was a myth. I also remember reading about it in the paper all the time - just like these global warming stories. The trouble with the media is that they love to print bad news. Whether it is true or not, that part doesn't matter.
But the thing about sub prime housing that no-one seems to want to talk about is this is completely due to another badly thought out Democrat policy. Barney Frank is the root of this evil, not Wall Street.
As someone who has also had both, the Sony product is much more finished. My Kobo was missing all kinds of features that would be nice to have in an ebook reader. Such as turning to a specific page, or using the build in dictionary with any document, not just those purchased from Kobo. The kept promising features like these in "the next release", but honestly I hate it when I buy something unfinished and have to beg the company to do what they said they would up front.
Also, my battery was always going dead after a few days - much, much sooner than the Sony.
Lastly, my Sony reader is compatible with many more formats than the Kobo, and my Kobo library transfered over seamlessly.
Banks and finance companies create liquidity and marketplaces. Perhaps you don't understand the products they offer, but they definitely do exist. Without them things like home and car ownership would be all but out of reach save for the wealthiest Americans who can afford to pay in cash. And the fresh food in your refrigerator is made possible by lending money to farmers against their future crop yields. In short the America we all know and love would be drastically different if banks vanished.
Get yourself a copy of Microsoft's OneNote. It is exactly what you want - easy to use, allows for searching within documents, and allows for mixed media storage - voice, documents, screen shots, handwriting, all mix freely. It has basic OCR and voice recognition skills that help it search through non-typed material, though sometimes it's a bit hit or miss here.
Ten seconds of Google and I found this (http://blog.crackpassword.com/tag/iphone). They feel the weakness is in the iphone backup, where they can use a PC to do a brute force attack to break the encryption.
I think more googling would probably provide even more results.
I disagree. The college diploma only gets you a foot in the door. Its a certification, and therefore an easy way for employers to screen people, especially when they have no other experience to speak of. Obviously good students don't always translate into good employees, but its an easier method than "gut feel".
I've had a number of Masters and PhD folks work for me, and truthfully some were better than others. The degree doesn't predict anything.
Think of what's been done. Its the job of Wall Street institutions to direct (and re-direct) wealth to those who can use it. Farmers, food producers, manufactures, and start-ups are just a few of the industries that cannot exist without help from Wall Street. Like it or not, the American economy is directly dependent on having enough money at the right place and time.
I suppose you haven't heard about claw-backs. This is already common practice in many industries.
What to do with the repossessed bonus? That's easy, its just unexpected income.
It depends how you look at it. IT brings in plenty of revenue, its management's job recognizing it as that and making sure everyone understands the value added. I also disagree with the Parent poster - lots of folks are still going into IT - what's harder to find are the more traditional jobs - many are being replaced by trading engines, etc.
That's not the same scenario - those headhunters didn't want to anger their biggest client, hence they wouldn't work with you.
Of course, getting a job != calling a headhunter.
Um, I think we're just witnessing Apple's marketing campaign, and boy they must be spending a bundle on it. They have to cut through the clutter somehow....
Agreed. Where I work, the second you do this, an automated job sends your termination notice to HR and you are on your way out the door. We have a policy we sign when we get employed and you are expected to be mature and follow some basic rules.
You are missing the point. He wanted to use the computer for SOMETHING, not to endlessly configure it. I hear him. I am an ex-linux systems administrator. I supported Linux for over 10 years professionally, and Solaris for many years before that. What do I use at home? Windows. Why? It works great, and when something does break, I'm not on my own, though admittedly, this is less and less of an issue. I have struggled with all of the GP's issues and more - at home. For years my friends laughed at me, but then I wised up and saw the light. Life is too short to waste 10 hours trying to get your VPN working with the one at work, and they won't help you because what you're doing is against policy.... Or I spent many, many hours trying to get my laptop running Mandrake 8.2 to work with my wireless PCMCIA card - good luck getting support for that, especially when the sole developer for the chipset I accidentally bought works on it part time when he moonlights from HP. But in Windows, it all just works right out of the box. Go figure.
Actually, having supported Linux for so long, I hesitate to say it's more powerful. I've seen many, many bugs, both in the kernel and outside. Especially in the early years, but I stumbled across another one just a few days back in AS4. The sort utility silently crashes when reading files with certain characters in just the right places. Some things never change.
I don't understand. Why are you worrying if others know your positions? Especially if your just buying and holding (which admittedly you may not be). Think of it this way - you've already bought, maybe they'll say - Hey, that's a good idea, and buy it too, driving up the price for you.
Mighty Yar,
Dude, your argument is pathetic.
I agree with the PP. 30 years ago, "Global Cooling" was all the rage and sold lots of newspapers. Today it's global warming. It's just another myth to get you plugged in so you buy more newspapers and watch more commercials, and are distracted from the "Real Problems" that don't have easy, canned solutions.
BTW, have you noticed how politicians don't fault the agricultural buisnesses for producing ton after ton of green house gas (those cows, pigs and chickens need to breath, don't they?). Instead, they go after car manufacturers. Talk about baloney.
This article isn't about health problems due to failure to sleep. It's about dying from a fatal disorder where one of the symptoms is failure to be able to sleep. Sad, interesting, but not relevant to the discussion.
Huh? You're forgetting the people selling movies are in it for the profit. It is a business. There's no maximum on this game. They aren't trying to break even, they are going for all they can get. They have investors to pay back, and also want to pocket something for all the effort put in (just like anyone else would). DVD's are a separate revenue stream in and of themselves, as are market add ons, books, action figures, and whatever else can be dreamed up. The reason they sell for $10 as opposed to more is that's the price that works the best.
When you compare a 3.0Ghz Opteron to a 2.6Ghz Opteron, you kinda know without doing much research the 3.0 chip will be faster.
When you are using the Opteron for industrial level computations, these numbers can make a huge difference.
Ugh. Food at McDonalds is gross - very greasy, not quite real meat and over all disgusting. Plus really, really bad (though extremely hot) coffee. What is there to like about it?

And yet, somehow, we've gotten past all that and can all look back and have a good laugh.

I have a touch and I've never noticed this behavior. The only time I've seen it slow down is when you are installing / updating.

Why do you care about the stock price? Why does it matter? Just buy less shares (if you want to buy)....
