Remember that social security is not a retirement fund. It is actually a government forced insurance policy that will support you in your old age (assuming you live to be that old, oh and don't forget that if you die, no one gets to benefit from your policy except your spouse assuming you were married for > 20 years). However, I do agree we should be able to opt out of SS and invest for our retirement as we please (I'm responsible with my finances; I'd rather retire at a much earlier age than what SS requires).

adultery is a felony in oklahoma. not only is the married person guilty of a felony charge, but the other person involved in the affair is guilty as well.

once you type in a search result... if you leave it there for a moment, it changes the 'title' html tag, even after erasing the enter contents of the text box, the title tag remains the same as my previous search. very annoying.

The Community Reinvestment Act reformed by the Clinton administration in the 90s encouraged lenders to make unsafe loans to the poor who had zero chance of ever paying their debt off. Once the smart banks realized the mistake/over-leveraging, they packaged as much of the debt as possible and sold it off with ratings from ill-informed ratings agencies (Collateralized Debt Obligations). The debt they couldn't sell was insured with Credit Default Swaps, however once the bubble popped, the insurance agencies couldn't pay the banks. Simple as that. Clinton lit the flame by claiming home ownership a right. He believed that poor people who couldn't afford houses should be loaned money anyway. Sorry, home ownership is NOT a right. Now hardworking American are footing the bill for the irresponsible and dishonest people who took out these loans and are probably collecting welfare, foodstamps and healthcare from the government at the same time.

I love the fact everyone has forgotten the majority of Americans wanted to turn the middle east into a parking lot post 9/11. Funny how time has changed things. Maybe some of our slashdot friends should re-watch some 9/11 footage, or read some names aloud of those who died for no reason other than Islamic terrorists hate our freedom.

here's an example: William H. Maker: lol 5:38:00 PM Whatis Bot *Fu...: Found 9 results.

as an IBM employee I use the "Whatis bot" all the time. It is just a chat bot on Sametime chat inside Lotus Notes that allows you to message it an abbreviation and it tells you all the meanings. This is very useful when you get an e-mail from a long time IBMer that knows every abbreviation and doesn't hesitate to use them.

(and yes, some people prefer to talk rather than email - mainly because it actually gets a result) +1 so true

MILTON I, I told Bill that if Sandra's going to listen to her headphones while she' working, I can listen to the radio while I'm collating - MILTON I enjoy listening to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

Having worked in Business Continuity and Resiliency Services for the last 18 months since I graduated college I can assure you that large corporations still prefer backing up to tape, and storing those tapes off site. There is some popularity in keeping off site backups via large pipes to EMC/Shark/FastT/Hitachi/etc. But by far tape is customary and dependable. The problems I have seen with tape libraries are usually quickly resolved. These problems usually boil down to bad tapes (anyone serious would have more than one set), bad tape drives (easily replaceable), robot problems (easily fixed or replaced), SAN infrastructure problems (have people at the off site/hot site facility familiar with cisco fabric manager, SAN switches, fiber, etc.), and software configuration issues (netbackup for example, but for this example anyone serious would have support contracts with Symantec and quickly resolve their configuration issue during recovery).
