Hopefully any well educated 80 year old is already 5-10 years into retirement. I surely do not intend to work into my 70's. =p

How bout they stop worrying about our overtime pay, and start considering getting the career politicians out on the street.

Not necessarily they all work for the banks and the ABA has been trying for some time to get the TARP holdings swept away, meaning anyone who has yet to pay up won't have too. My bad for sticking the FOTM hatemongerer up there, but politics are broken no matter your affiliation. Anything and everything they say is very likely false. I mentioned TARP because we are the one who bailed them out, and they are the ones sitting back and laughing at this mess.

Any news on where the TARP money is? It's quite a few zero's short but lets see if Tea Party can weasel in writing those holdings off completely. Have any of the business'es we "saved" to "save" our economy come running in saying they can lend the government some cash? Or are we looking for any bottom feeder with cash/gold? I'm pretty sure China has just about cut their losses.

Are you kidding? Spend less up front, you don't per se have to make more right now... You just need to spend less than your bringing in... My six year old can save money. Why can't we as a nation?!!

I love the franchise's from Nintendo, I've completed every Metroid game they've released and nearly every Zelda game(Majori's mask sucked!). My kids will likely end up with another Wii(they love the current one), but for me I'll be going the way of something with a solid online presence. It still baffles me that they haven't caught on that Multiplayer games online are where the meat is currently. And seriously if you haven't played through God of War 3 your cutting yourself short!! To quote the guy out of touch with reality: "Earlier comments from Shigeru Miyamoto indicate the new console will have more to offer in terms of online capabilities, but Nintendo isn't going to focus too heavily on that." I think someone should be looking for a new job.

Spot on sir!!! Spot on!!

Also of note, the more of it you have the more lethal it becomes. Just because a managed amount is ok, doesn't make a truckload of it going down the highway a good idea.

If it's making more than it's using your going to have excess, and more plants burning Uranium makes more of it. Some of the money being thrown at the nuclear industry could be put towards renewable energy research, but this is the US. If it dangerous, and everyone is afraid of it I'm sure throwing more money at it, and trying to change everyones mind will work. Who cares if it has the capability to make large area's uninhabitable for a very very long time. Our need for energy is only superseded by our hapless attempts to generate it. Just like nearly everything else, our energy policy is broken, and the task is so large no one dare attempt to fix it.

For all the pro nuke folks, some food for thought. Plutonium is a by-product of most reactors, any that use Uranium anyway. It's highly radioactive and the half life of Pu-239 is 24,100 years.... What exactly do you plan to do with it all if nuclear was our main source of energy? We can continue to bury somewhere in the mountains out west. Or come up with an energy alternative. Sometimes it's best to just let old technology die and not continue trying to better it or fix it.

ACTA is next, we'll have to create an underground internet to "use it as intended". Leave it to the sheep to let big business decide what is acceptable and what isn't. The media companies firmly believe if you scratch "their" CD/DVD even though you purchased it, your right to copy said legitimate media is null and void.

What is real is that they knowingly released the phone with said issues. And are now denying them.

Many of my friends and users have dropped the iPhone to the "what?!?" "why, whats the matter with you?!?" of their fellow iPhone users. The 4G is indeed the 4th generation, 4th iteration of the phone. You are correct Apple has not tagged it with the 4G monicker. However, the 4th G(eneration) as I put it is quite convenient. Call it what you will, iPhone users typically shun any other model/device because it "isn't an iPhone". Also I apologize for the mis capitalization. I did my best with grammar, the Apple trademark can eat my shorts. =] Though it does seem to be taking over the world. See iPad. =] I'm going to go ahead and assume you have one since you are so "vehemently" defending it. Apple posted a number of Antenna Engineer positions just before the phone came out. Coincidence? I think not. And as usual you can blame the media for the 4G monicker, don't blame me for the sheeple's misconception. I'm simply giving Jobs kudos for pulling the wool over their eyes. Just like his statement that all phones have the exact same problem. Also in reference to not having one and coveting their wonderous device. I simply refuse to pay the difference. I'll happily save my 360 dollars a year. If I want to get on the internet, I have one of 3 laptops or 2 desktops to do so. A few links of the media skewing the iPhone as a 4G device. http://hubpages.com/hub/The-NEW-iPhone-4G-Coming-2010 http://www.gadgetsdna.com/10-reasons-not-to-buy-next-iphone-4g-hd/2757/

As always any Iphone users will vehemently deny that anything is wrong with their beloved device. Though it may be true that other phones have similar issues. I for one do not believe they are as bad as the Iphone 4. I do love the deflection though. Another funny tidbit, the Iphone 4G(eneration) is only a 3g phone. =] Some marketing there Steve-O. You get a cookie. In my personal anyone with an Iphone will call you crazy should you decide to switch to a different device. Even if it's marginally better ... cough Evo 4G. =] I do not have an Evo by the way just look at the capabilities of each. =p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg
