Fair enough assessment. However I'd like to see you frame a house, sheet it, roof it, drywall it, put siding on, trim it, for under $4800.
For that price, I don't necessarily think this is just "mindless hype".
It might be interesting to know what $4800 USD is actually worth there in China, adjusted for 'cost of' doing whatever in China vs. the cost of doing it in the US, and making your comparison with that.
For everyone who is about to object: what do you think a drug bust looks like? They posed as drugs consumers/dealers and busted the parties buying/selling. This seems like what my taxpayer dollars should go towards: stomping out illegal activity where it is prevalent.
Surely catching big white collar crime and corrupt politicians should be prioritized over small quantity drug issues.
But of course stomping out truly significant criminal activity is beyond the scope or capabilities of the LEOs that work for those same corrupt politicians, who in turn are owned by those big white collar criminals.
Will it have a caricature of Muhammad?
That's what needs to happen, millions and millions of Muhammad cartoons all over the World.
I would hope for it to be a collection of all the cartoons by Charlie over the years they've been publishing.
I vote for a cartoon of Mohammed and his six-year-old bride Aisha on the front cover.
To be fair, the marriage wasn't actually consummated until Aisha was nine.
The worse thing being, she complained she couldn't even feel it.
They bombed the London Tube for Allah
They bombed the Madrid train station for Allah
They crashed planes into the World Trade Center at NYC and at the Pentagon for Allah
A film director was murdered in the Netherlands for Allah
Hostages had been killed in Sydney for Allah
And now, at least 12 person have been cold-bloodedly slaughtered, in Paris, for Allah
In the name of "Allah", who will be the next victim ?
A woman police officer in Paris this morning, Paris time:

Not directly related but I'd be surprised if this wasn't also done in the name of Allah.
I think the thing being missed here is that people are in a hurry. If I can fly a 747 from Seattle to Japan and the flight takes 14 hours, I would pay more to be able to do it in 7.
Would you pay ten times more? That's the kind of factor you'd be looking at for that kind of speedup.
The way things are going, with the rich getting richer, CEOs that live like kings, etc, there is already a class of people who would pay ten times more if they wanted to make the trip in a hurry.
How many of them would bother is another question.
Why do polygraph advocates lie so much?
Because they know we can't prove they're lying?

they should allow pot.
Anyone checking the back door while the front one is being DDoSd?
It's a great distraction to take eyes of a real attack via more profitable and less visible vectors.

We've seen the US go to war from much less "evidence". Can you say "WMD in Iraq"?
Iraq of course being a more profitable target, not stuck right up against China and not having as a leader 'The one Daddy let get away'.
Where is Team America when you really need them?
Kind of have to wonder Microsoft et al have other motives (than protecting users) for not wanting the US to be able to get at data stored overseas.
If the US gubberment can get user data stored overseas, it could then perhaps expect to get corporate tax related data stored overseas.
ok, so he can take comfort that he can blame a piece of metal for the accident rather than taking personal responsibility. if i had a car with a big honking A pillar, I would tilt my head a little to make sure there were no cars (or people) there before proceeding.
He does take responsibility for it jerky - I am saying that the A frame can get in the way of visibility.
Yes, this works extremely well in Berkeley too. There are neighborhoods on both sides of Ashby (hwy 13) and along various other routes, but the streets are relatively quiet because traffic furniture either prevents entry from Ashby or directs the flow such that there's no point using them for the commute. And they don't inconvenience the residents either. For a resident or for local travel, entering and exiting only adds a few seconds. For a commuter, trying to use residential streets just doesn't work.
The barriers seem to be favored over speed bumps. Over the years the speed bumps have been made softer (15 mph bumps now instead of 5 or 10 mph bumps), and are generally concentrated only in areas that simply cannot be blocked off for fire and other safety reasons.
