Unemployment is high right now, not because companies can't find good people, but because companies are afraid to take on the responsibility (and liability) of expanding and hiring until they absolutely have to, due to a messed up political and financial environment.
IT unemployment is low! (I've heard ~2% more recently)
Lots of people set their thermostat above the temperature they want just so they can turn it down when it gets too hot, even when they fully understand how a heater works.
I set it to 85 so it would heat up faster!

If I am in california and buy something from a company with a presence in California and my purchased items ship from California to me I should pay California sales taxes.
But they don't have a presence in California, your orders placed with Amazon are fulfilled by a [legally] different company!

Amazon.com, LLC does the same thing where they buy from this secondary company and have them ship it to the customer. Does Amazon.com, LLC still have a presence?
Yep, the new Chevy Volt will be lithium, but the Prius and other hybrids are all NiMH. You said the exact reason why -- they were (still are?) the most proven battery technology at the time the cars were engineered. (That's also the "big deal" about the Volt -- GM is having to do a bunch of research to develop a car worthy lithium battery in a very short time.)
Yes! I have fond memories of programming simple programs in BASIC and storing my hangman dictionary on cassette. The keyboard was a little difficult -- I believe the colon, brackets, other normal punctuation were a special key + normal alphabet key. a picture
Agreed. I have an ASUS Intel board and I bought 4 x 2GB sticks. Pick any three and it was rock solid -- add in that fourth and the machine would blue screen or processes would mysteriously crash after some time.
Turns out it's a very common problem for boards to have trouble reliably powering all 4 DIMMs, and upping the voltage by
