Not arguing your point, but you must be using a wonky inflation index to get you from $0.40 to $2.

Oh, and since I forgot to mention it, I own over a dozen of these sticks including the 808 and 808b.

First of all, that's not a Google TV, as the Google TV is an actual branded specially modified version of the OS with associated hardware.

And most of these Android sticks do not effortlessly work at 1080P. Most of them are running only slightly modified versions of the Android OS that was paired with their processor (usually a RockChip variant) on one tablet or another. The reported resolution almost never matches the actual resolution (unless you update with one of the community based Android releases).

For instance, in your Mk808B it doesn't actually run 1080P unless you update to the 1080P kernel (usually paired with the Finless ROM).

They also have notoriously bad WiFi reception and speeds, overheat, and generally run buggy as hell.

But don't take my word for it, read up at the forums at http://www.armtvtech.com/ (Where you will find out that at real 1080P your MK808b can only run a select few videos)

He merely adopted his Nerd-dom; I was born into it.

I guess it's a good thing the President hasn't recognized Mr. Limbaugh as head of our state sanctioned official news organization.

I'm not sure I understand all of this talk of "dumping", or maybe it's the people proposing the action that don't understand it. They can only do 3 things with those bonds, cash them in, sell them to someone else for a loss (dumping?), or burn them.

The first option does nothing, as claiming matured bonds is what you are supposed to do. The third option is awesome, free money.

The second option, if they had enough to kill the world market (which I don't think they do) for US bonds might have an impact, but only if they price very low and somehow managed to keep the US itself from buying them.

The fact of the matter is, as soon as they post 100B in US T-Bills for substantially lower than the market rate someone will buy them all instantly and they will no longer exert pressure on the market for new debt.

If they doled them out slowly, there isn't enough to cause an issue.

The CVG version of the '12 Subaru Imprezza is more efficient than the manual.

I got in on that deal too. Recently dropped it for republic wireless. $19 a month, cool phone, unlimited everything.

I was found at fault. Had been at the stop light for 30 seconds or more when I was rear-ended. I was found at fault and cited for "stopping short". Didn't have to wait long for the cops to show up and make that determination, since it was a patrol car that hit me.

I learned Algebra in the 4th grade and progressed through to Calculus my sophomore year of highschool as part of our regular, public school carriculum right here in the good ole US of A.

Apparently even some 'Mericans forget this is a big place and whats true in NY isn't always true in CA.

I think what you are describing can more accurately be referred to as aptitude.

The fact is, you really can teach a good percentage of the population the principles of CS.

Getting them to apply what they learned correctly, to problem solve, and to grow their expertise, and to not get bored while doing so is the trick.

Jury is still out on Clinton.

FYI- According to the US Census Bureau, the top 20th percentile starts at 55k. 100k/yr gets you closer to the top 7th percentile.

What episode of Dougie Houser, MD was that?

And that seems to be everyones argument here. The US took down our websites, in our countries. Only they didn't. They removed the .com from the domain servers under their control.

If you want to keep control local, use a local TLD.
