That old "No Baloney Sony" ad campaign seems a bit ironic now... I have family that worked for them in the mid 90's. I wonder how it will impact folks from 20 years ago...

I think its also crap how you can buy an imported car at times with nearly 1% APR, but an education that does not depreciate or get repossessed must not only accrue ridiculous finance fees, it now must also involve indentured servitude.
I believe you answered your own question: in case of default, a car can get repossessed and sold, an education can't. If you were in the lender's position, why would you lend money to students knowing they could default and walk away from the debt?
Its the only guaranteed loan in the business. There is no risk.
how can they really be worth that? Isn't each medallion worth 1 taxi cab? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how 1 taxi cab can bring in enough money to justify that kind of value.
Come to think of it, I'm having trouble with the entire world economy adding up. This fascist groove thing has never added up, and it ain't a free market or level field.
People are unfair, in spite of natures gifts. Welcome to the primitive social human infection of reality - living organic systems led by intangible, experiential , desires.
Why is the government trying to help get students educated in CS. if this gap really exists then why don't I have a job in this field, I have an undergraduate degree, and the skills needed.
You're not supposed to ask that question. What are you, a communist? You might as well put insubordination on the resume. You should change your name to Mr. Smarty Pants. Radical Hippy Stoner Face experience.
I love how the say they'll subsidize two thirds the cost of a tuition that they just tripled in recent years. I think its also crap how you can buy an imported car at times with nearly 1% APR, but an education that does not depreciate or get repossessed must not only accrue ridiculous finance fees, it now must also involve indentured servitude. The slavery might only last for a few years, but the loan will stay with you longer than you'll remember the curriculum. And that's how the smart and successful people channel their ambitions: serving master. Its a deal with the devil in the details. Slavery doesn't just grow on trees, ya know.
Maybe they shouldn't assume that it is debris. Its in one piece perhaps.
Also its a government gig.
This means they can spend forever using resources and personnel on this task without having to be accountable for the worthless results. In fact, their incentive is not to find it, else they'll have to go back to work doing the really important stuff: floating around in circles, looking at nothing, and taking orders all day. Furthermore, If they really wanted to find it they'd be looking near Bermuda, not Australia. How can we take them seriously if they're ignoring the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans, and the Bermuda Triangle.
I was talking about the washing machine action, but I see your point.
Its Karma.
Not instant, like their rice....its slow cooked Karma....
With a side of Sony baloney.
That's not a palindrome. niger is a Latin adjective meaning black. Please note the single 'g'.
Niger (or anagram) is spelled with only one "g"....
Oh, I see what you did there, honky!
I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this...having witnessed the sad progression of that disease second hand, it is not something that a sane person would want to experience.
You're right. This must be spin on a screw up.
They were most likely working on multiple orgasms and got this in error.
Or just sit on a washing machine.
You might be onto something....
They might have been working on simulating multiple orgasms and stumbled on Parkinson's in error.
Clearly, this would never happen outside of an academic setting. Who would bother?
Does it matter, who?
The outcome of elections are worth billions to vested interest groups. $4 billion was donated to candidates and PACs in the months preceding the election on November 4th. Many, many, people would "bother".
The point of the question "Does it matter who?" is to point out that the outcomes of elections are worth billions to vested interest groups, and that $4 billion was donated to candidates and PACs in the months preceding the election.
So from here, it looks as if you think you disagree with someone with whom you actually agree.
