True, that MAY work, however, I think in today's litigious mindset, he'd be charged with some sort of computer crime, even if he was above-board and with good intentions.
which they then turned around and used to pay bonuses to the people that wrecked the economy.
Attacking the banks is a nice and tidy class-warfare position that may get some traction among those who are not informed, the real culprit in this case is the Federal Government. By interfering with the "invisible hand" of the economy, it places pressure to do the "wrong thing". Of course, it makes people feel good that they helped out a nice couple trying to buy a house for the first time, however, if it is KNOWN that the payments would not be able to be made... it doesn't help anybody.
The issue is the double standard - if I am a rich bank, I can do whatever I want, and if I get into trouble, I get bailed out with taxpayer dollars, and if I am not a rich bank, then I'm screwed.
I would argue that it is with the Government that is at fault... the Government can screw with the economy and nearly collapse it, yet the people just hear "it's the rich's fault... they're not paying their fair share"... the top 1% pay >36% of the taxes...how much SHOULD they pay? And if they don't pay... they get thrown in jail. So... in essence, you're saying that the "top 1%" has to be our slaves and give us their money that they earned.
what they want is the government to spend its money helping its citizens in need rather than banks who deserve to fail for their incompetence.
Open Secrets classifies the corporation as a fence sitter when it comes to politics, although during the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama was clearly the telco's favorite.
Didn't she release the video 7 YEARS after the incident? Statute of Limitations comes in play here.
If it was murder or something like that, there is no limitation then. Not saying that he was right in doing it, but that's the reason he's not being charged.
It's time for religion to be closed out from the scientific debate altogether. "Faith" has no place in a field based on empirical evidence and doubt. Creationism doesn't even deserve a title as a discredited theory, it belongs with mythology like Atlantis and elves, and should rightly be laughed at with impunity.
So, what I'm understanding you to say, is that your wild-ass GUESS about the origin of man is better than someone else's wild-ass GUESS, just because they may believe that the Flying Spagetti Monster or some other Deity is responsible for creating us?
Problem is, both sides have no PROOF of their position. Creationists base theirs' on "Faith"... Evolutionists base theirs' on "Theories". What I find humorous on the Evolutionists' side, is that someone will find a bone fragment (not even a whole bone), yet conceptually render what that person looked like. Nebraska Man is one example that comes to mind.
You state that your Wild-Ass Guess is that we descended from primates. A Creationist may believe that the FSM created primates similar to humans to really confuse you and make Darwin the butt of Creationist jokes.
Either way, there is no scientific PROOF as you are requiring, and in my opinion, all there will ever be are Wild-Ass Guesses. Then again, maybe the FSM will show itself tomorrow, and prove that we're all descended from bees.
Came across a couple of articles recently here and here specifically talking about GPS interference and "dead-zones".
Curious part, is that this technology is APPROVED by the FCC. The frequencies used by LightSquared (1525 MHz—1559 MHz) is just below the GPS frequencies (1559—1610 MHz). While it SHOULDN'T interfere, the power levels used by LightSquared is much higher than the signals from satellites.
From the fine article: "Some experts think that pumping water into the ground as part of the extraction process of natural gas could cause local seismic events. But the area hasn't been studied enough, they say, to know for sure."
Another story to gin up a way to stop energy production. I really hate this "do as I say - not as I do" attitude of the people who want to stop *United States* energy production.
Where's the outrage of Cuba's oil production? China's oil production? Venezuelan oil production?
... and the Muskegon County (Michigan) Prosecutor has insinuated (with no further evidence) that Emory actually wants to have sex with children and claims he 'victimized every single child in that classroom.'
Seems that the Prosecutor is projecting (with no further evidence) onto Emory. Hopefully the Prosecutor will get help and stay away from children, especially the most vulnerable, his.
Boy this evidence thing just gets in the way.
Welcome to the GAME BIZ ADVICE zone of Sloperama.com.
My intent here is to help game biz aspirants learn what it takes to get in and move up in the game business. I write occasional articles to answer Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQs") about designing and making games - computer games, video games, even board games.

Uhmm ... I disagree. The banks were forced to give out loans to people THEY KNEW could not pay it back. It started with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ... and was reinforced by Clinton in 1994 - Trillion-Dollar Bank Shakedown.
And Banks did not want TARP ... because of the strings attached.

That's assuming that the banks did it on their own. NOT under the threat of former Attorney General Janet Reno
Hmmmm .... guess I shouldn't just assume the first link has all of the info.

I learned a few new swear words today. On a side note, why are 1072, 1073, and 1074 redacted? Are they too obscene?
Gee ... there's just too many to choose from.
Army National Guard Using Linux
My guess is that they'll go Android, simply for the fact they CAN change and update the OS to be more secure than it currently is.

She doesn't look Shrewish
Actually the Ground was invented by General Electric.
I thought God sued General Electric and won, by showing prior art.
Titanium Backup seems to remove that crapware. Of course you have to root your phone.
Huh? I read it with an Aussie accent.
Why would I want to give money to Microsoft to get an HTC Android phone? Fortunately, there are other choices for the moment.
In addition, since this is a restaurant, the profit margins are typically thin. A $110,000 fine could be enough to put them under.

So what you're saying is ... voting for Republicans is bad for you, like smoking. However, voting for Democrats is very bad, like drunk driving.
Using this I saw a couple of family members that have yet to accept my friend invite. Guess I can remove them from my Christmas card list.
(actually, I know they're not computer savvy, I'm guessing they haven't logged back in for a while)
but simulating galaxy collisions have been done before: http://www.galaxydynamics.org/
However, new to the simulation is dark-matter calculations.
Cool none-the-less.
Good ol' Soylent Yellow ... it goes down smooth.
But I'll wait for the sequel: MoonUnit Zappa
Of course, the corollary to that is:
"It is easy to get a man to prove something, when his salary depends upon him proving it."
