with only 500 million years left until the planet becomes uninhabitable, the next species to create civilization will likly not have a fighting chance to get to where we are today.
wake up! A basic tenant of economics is the idea of limited resources. There will always be poor people. no matter how much money the poor are motivated to earn, that poor person will end up reducing the economic status of someone higher up to offset his/her move upward.
If everyone had a billion dollars, a billion dollars would be worth nothing.
The point I made about conservatives above bears out.
why does it always seem to be the pro business, anti-tax conservatives who are least informed about the facts in the situation upon which they always opine?
My father for instance says "I don't follow that political crap" but then thinks his opinion on political matters is well informed and as valid as my well informed c-span loving opinion.
Birthers... deathers... all are idiots. The smart ones are those manipulating the idiots. The scary ones belong to "the family"
I buy on the black market... I have my private plane fly the goods into the local airport from Mexico/Bahmas/ close by cheap place,
If you want a sales tax, then you better tax the sale of stocks. Wall street already produces nothing for the country, the least they could do over there is to pay taxes on their sales.
Other problems... companies that go bankrupt tend to raid their sales tax funds and never pay them back. Companies also tend to use those sales tax funds while not in bankruptcy as a means of added cash flow. talk to any state revenue service agent... they will tell you how much of a pain in the butt it is to collect the sales tax.
perhaps we can use our hard tech to allow year round micro farming in the home... talk about ultra local. If people were organized enough, they could grow enough fresh vegetables year round in their basements to sustain themselves all year. You still have problems finding apples and such, but vegetables and Tomatoes certainly could be grown in a basement operation... you can buy the proper equipment at your local indoor growing (read pot growers) supply store.
Practitioner structural engineers follow methodology because we have learned the best methodology to build physical structures to increase their safety and strength.
The software development world is transitioning from artistic approaches to professional methodological approaches. To continue to use artistic approaches to building a software component is inappropriate.
how is Mono trailing? They are compatible with the core.net 3.0 libraries. 3.5 was a minor upgrade that focused on the MS libraries.
Besides that... 2.0 through 3.5 and 4.0 all compile down to 2.0 IL code so my Mono program will run on Windows and the only difference is that I don't get some of the syntactic sugar like Linq.
Pay attention to the next MS release event (probably windows 7) you will be able to pick up a copy of VS 2008 (Probably also a preview copy of vs 2010) for free.
IntelliJ seems to be the only Java IDE worth using. To bad you have to pay for it. maybe someone will fork the MonoDevelop project and make a JavaDevelop project.
VS is many times better than Eclipse as far as usability goes. I hate debugging programs with eclipse, inspecting objects is a pain, diving down into all the execution layers sucks. Eclipse may be flexible, but there are some serious usability issues they have to deal with. (I do like Junit and Emma though)
The carbon credit trading system talked about in the bill sets up a market that requires credit default swaps to collateralize the purchases, it also takes credits away from renewable sources of energy and gives them to the coal industry.
Check out what Democratic Representative Peter DeFazio has to say on the subject. There is a reason the Democratic house barely passed it.

isn't that sort of why teh cultural basis of humans was east asian in Firefly?
yeah... it is called removing money from circulation through its concentration in the top socio-economic classes.
send production to mexico.

Good News Everyone
Phrase from Futurama
Proper usage includes:
"Good news everyone. You are all going to the planet sodomy to deliver some KY Jelly"
After such statements, Dr. Zoidburg may sometimes be heard saying "Hurray!"
Yes it is. unless you think carcinogens that kill you over a long period of time can't be considered poison.

how about all the freaking pesticide that is now MADE IN THE CORN KERNEL because it is genetically modified to create it! MMMMMMM poison.
And they mention that because it is a problem.

It is idiots like you who are the reason we have such badly written programs out there.
Writing software systems of any significance is an engineering task, not an artistic task. Engineering requires team work and methodology.

the next 20 years of developers are going to suck at the fundamentals.
You like assembly programming don't you.
sounds like a translation layer rather than an emulation layer.
The core .net libraries are covered by the C# portion. Stop pretending like it is useless, it makes you look like a moron.

uhh... Try that again because you are wrong.

And will lead to nothing more than a bubble.
