Really? Google+ has taken off? That is news to me and anyone working outside of Google.

That's the problem. With poor management, they think they have the greatest management in the world.

He's right when he said this: 'We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy,' said bin Laden, adding that that every dollar spent by al-Qaida in attacking the US has cost Washington $1m in economic fallout and military spending."

How would the economic outlook of the US (and by extension the world) economy be if 9/11 didn't happen? There wouldn't be a post-9/11 down fall obvious. How money would NOT have been spent on Afghanistan and then Iraq? How much money would be saved without formation of the DHS and the expansion of the TSA? How much money would have been saved if there was no PATRIOT Act? Money spent goes to to profit someone but for the average American, they face an improving but not terribly optimistic economic future from a country burdened with a rapidly expending national deficit that is not completely but definitely attributed to this "war" on terrorism.

I can see it now. Drug companies will take their existing antibiotics, add a bit of sugar, and then upcharge $5 per fill for Sugarfukitol over normal Fukitol.

I can see the excuses now:

"I'm sorry Mrs. Smith, but the dog ate my computer."

"Damnit, where did I leave my computer now?"

"Crap, I left my computer in my pants and washed them."

"So, I was hacking the Gibson naked, slipped, and fell, and that's how my computer got stuck up my butt."

I bought my coffee this morning using this method. I actually like stuff like this so I don't have to carry a card around all the time and don't have to pull out my wallet. There will be training issues the first few times each employee uses it. What mine had to do is put their register on the Tender screen and then select Starbucks card before it would work.

How much more could she care less? Could she care 10% less? 50% less? Could she possible care 100% less? If she could care 100% less, it says to me that she actually cares a lot about an IQ test.

No reason at all? Did he have a beard?

The best way to relieve the AT&T network congestion is to end AT&T exclusive iPhone contract. Once that is gone, I bet at least a million of those iPhone subscribers will disappear very quickly.

This article pretty much describes me to a T. I have been suffering from depression for a few years now and whenever I get down, I definitely have the thinking patterns that was described in this post. However, after going through depression, I have decided that it is much, much better to be ignorant and happy than depressed and realistic.

I actually name mine after obscure Star Wars characters:

Jaster Mereel
Wedge Antilles
Mara Jade
Corran Horn

There is definitely lots of room for expansion there.

According to DisplayWars.com, a 19" 16:10 monitor is just a hair shorter than a 17" 4:3 monitor. To the OP, if you are looking at a new LCD monitor, get a 19-20" widescreen one. The vertical height will be nearly the same and you'll have about 2.5" more in width. This shouldn't be too much of a burden on your desk space. Hell, it'll actually clear a lot of it up. If you haven't noticed, these new fangled LCD monitors are actually a lot thinner than those CRT monitors.

I have a lot of friends that have Celiac's disease, IBS, and/or Crohn's disease and the lack of medical personnel that know about these diseases is stunning. Especially Celiac's disease. It's an issue and as the prominence of these illnesses increases, more medical personnel will be educated about them which is good but right now, people with real issues, pain, and discomfort will continue to be misdiagnosed. I have one friend that found the 1 doctor in town that actually knew about Celiac's and another friend whose wife is having severe GI issues and the doctor has never even heard of Celiac's. It's a problem and we have to rely on the doctors to have the initiative to stay up to date on the current medical research.

Yeah, how else are you going to have anonymous gay sex with Republican Congressmen?

And with a lot of these issues, the Bible doesn't say anything about them either. Please, stop bringing up "B-I-B-L-E" or "G-O-D" every sentence when discussing these topics. Times have changed and we have to deal with issues and attitudes of today, not 200 years ago or 2000 years ago.
