Comment Re:Insilvent? So what? (Score 3, Insightful) 252

The only reason they are loosing money is b/c Congress won't let them raise prices to what they need to be. Look at the USPS 2009 annual report, the first page brags about being the cheapest postal service in the world. So is it any wonder they are loosing money? If they raised the price of a stamp just 5 cents they'd be in the black again.

No doubt, lobbyists from Fedex and UPS are paying off our politicians to sabotage the USPS. First they will get rid of Saturday delivery, which, contrary to the stated reasons for it, will actually further erode their bottom line. That will ultimately lead to full privatization. Shortly after that happens expect the cost of mailing a letter to quickly approach 10 times of what it costs today in order to pay massive executive bonuses and shareholder dividends.

They could have cut battery costs by a large margin by using Nickel-metal hydride.

Did they use any carbon fiber components to cut down the weight?

How about front-ending the battery with a super capacitor for greater energy efficiency and better regenerative braking?

That's probably b/c many Jewish people think Judaism is fake too.

So many Muslims actually believe it all as absolute fundamental truth in their heart of hearts. In this regard we can have some pity for them. They simply do not know better. And for this reason they tend to be less tolerant of other faiths. But we see this in all fundamental sects of faiths, including Christianity and Judaism.

But the religion is just a pretext. This is really about politics. Regimes seek to protect their power, which includes their own image of themselves, no matter who they are. This will manifest in different ways depending on the circumstances, such as internal power structure, perceived threats, etc. For example, they might not have anything happen to them if they say Judaism is fake, but if a reporter in the U.S. is critical of Israel they have to be very careful about their wording or they could very easily loose their job.

Bitch Bitch Bitch and Cancel. That's all anyone does today!

I like the show. I've watched it from the start and actually hated it at first, but after GIVING IT A CHANCE, I found a lot to like and have enjoyed it very much.

But now they are going to cancel it. Just like they canceled Heros, Jericho, Bionic Women, The Lost Room, Angel, Firefly, Enterprise and, for f* sake, even Star Trek: TOS. The list goes on and on.

The problem with TV is they keep canceling the fucking shows!!!!!!!!!! Who wants to watch any show they can't rely upon to see things through to the end.

So as of this day I NEVER WATCH ANOTHER TV SHOW EVER AGAIN!

FRACKING IDIOTS!
