Yay for hand-wavy OH NOES GUBMINT IS INTERFEERING! tea-party populism.
If you want to complain about subsidies, I know a corn industry that could really use a talking-to. Or maybe oil & gas company subsidies? A $7k tax break for some people to kick-start a nascent, but promising economy is nothing compared to the kickbacks those corporations get.
The economy did well because Bush could afford to ride a pretty prosperous wave. Typically the effects of an administration only really take hold after that presidency has ended. 8 years is not very long for widespread social and organizational change. If the economy did "pretty well" under GW, it was only because he was riding the coat-tails of past administrations.
The fact that the economy is in such dire straits now speaks volumes for the Bush administration's policies.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. Oracle seems to be doing everything in their power to gut the core of the Java community, so until a strong non-Oracle/Sun maintainer with deep pockets (ahem, IBM) steps in to pick up the slack, I'd stay away from Java as the basis for building a full platform.
How do you know someone won't go homicidal while watching paint dry? Or reading a book? Yes, let's ban everything because it might someday make someone fly into a murderous rage.
Only if you agree with the direction your union is taking. It works if you agree with the union leadership, but if you think they're being unreasonable (for example, demanding wage increases even if the employer is known to be under financial troubles), they're serving no one. If the unions were actual "locals," run by locals with a relationship with the employer, then things could be a bit more reasonable. But now we have these huge national unions (CUPE, CAW), and local leadership is often directed in a certain direction based on national policies, rather than an intimate knowledge of the specific nuances of the relationship between an employer and their employees.
.... or until some citizen's group wins a major class-action lawsuit because wastewater from the landfill leached into the local water supply, or something along those lines. It only takes a couple multi-million-dollar lawsuits to make it worth trying to keep as much stuff out of the ground as possible.
Uh... wouldn't that create irradiated water? Could you even use that water again, once it's been exposed to such high levels of radiation?
Apparently posting about it doesn't require using the product either.
77% of iPhone users would give money again to Apple.
20% of Android users would do the same to any number of manufacturers
Is it any wonder Apple's cleaning up in the mobile industry?
Another great example of this ignorance (and misinformation spread by Apple) is that Mac OSX is virus-free and will stay so, while in fact there have been several recent instances of malware on OSX. The funny thing is that because Apple spreads these lies and users blindly trust them, they also are ignorant and can't see it. It's the classic lalalalala.
Malware != virus, just so we're clear. Do you have any citations to back your claim up about OS X viruses? Didn't think so.
Apple hasn't claimed that OS X will stay virus free; they have just claimed that it's more virus free than Windows. But hey, don't let facts get in the way.
Umm... not to be a spoiler, but you might want to catch up on the series if you think they killed her fiancee. Just sayin'.
I'm sorry - you lost me.
1/100 = 1% of phone calls are dropped with the 3GS. 2/100 = 2% of phone calls are dropped with the 4. Saying it's a "doubling" of the number of dropped calls is misleading - the ratio of a 1% difference scales linearly through the range. If the 3GS dropped 50/100 calls, then the iphone 4 would only drop 51/100 - a 1% change, not a 50% change. So when the ratios are low, it's a problem with the design of the phone, but when we imagine numbers that make the problem look much better for the phone model, it's a problem with the network?
