Google offers many services that are very good, and are among the best available.
They SHOULD be high in the rankings.

Really, what evidence are they searching for?

Evidence they called each other nasty names? How is anything on facebook even relevant to a divorce case?

In our democracy all candidates are a trade off.

if you think any candidate, that isn't you, perfectly reflects your values, you're either an idiot, or partisan hack. Sorry for the redundancy.

Now some of the more extreme candidates might not be your first choice, but their very presense forces the other candidates to at least consider those issues.

That being said, most poeple vote for teh same party time and time again.

I don't see how continuing to trade garbage securities as though everything was fine would have made things better.

The mortgage backed securities problem is that they were crappy assets, and everyone pretended they were just fine. Then when someone realized they were crap, everyone started calling in their bets and the system collapsed.

Continuing to pretends they were fine and letting the system continue to build on them would have been MORE disatersous, not less.

The liquidity of the mortgage backed securities market didn't actually change the value of the underlying mortgages, people just REALIZED that they were stuck in a ponzi scheme of near worthless debt. Ive never heard someone suggest that allowing a ponzi scheme to continue would lessen the impact

He had many points, but does communism actually solve any of them?

All this debate between systems is swapping one set of trade offs for another.

Quite honestly if we can get an effective and honest, or at least not overwelmingly corrupt government any of the systems can work.

The greater the intervention of the state, the greater the rewars of being corrupt, and the greater the importantance of not being corrupt. becomes.

Okay, but what if the company goes bankrupt, or there is a better competitor, or they were making a now obsolete product?
Then what do the workers have?

You're free to form your own company and run it that way, but the sad fact is most companies run like that go under, or they need more resources to continue than the current owner/workers can provide. Also the founders simply might not want to let go of the control they have.

Sorry, I don't buy that the "basic math" is somehow an impediment to complex problems.
At the public school level the basic math matters, giving calculators lets kids skip the learning and practice they need for the basic skill.

At the high school level algebra matters, and calculators don' help much.
Heck with integers I found calculators confused students even more.

When you get to trig the calulator does help a bit, but when you get into stats and calc, it doesn't help again.

Calculators are just a tool, and a rather limited one at that, if the teacher marks the logic, as almost every math teacher I ever had did, they offer almost no benefit.
The sad part is watching todays teenagers struggling at their McJobs and how you could possibly question what their cash register says after they make a mistake.

Accountant/Engineers can have great career paths.

Plus your strong math skills will suit you well.

Realy? I've fond hard drives to be cheap and effective.
1TB of storage is a monsterous stack of DVD's or a small hard drive. 2TB is even worse.

As far as hard drive reliability, make 2 or 3 copies. 3 2TB hard drives is pretty easy to handle, DVD's pretty darn difficult.
I don't have a blu ray drive, but I dont' see it being momumentally better.

Optical is dead, and flash drives aren't reliable.

I think it is important that this information is released.

However it sets a VERY scary precident that all researches should be afraid of.
If someone grants linformation for a particular purpose, it should be only used for that purpose, and only released withthe consent of those providing the information.

For someone to simply overrule that agreement suggests they aren't enforcable or even valid. Which means researchers can't guarantee confidentiality. Breaking nconfidentiality agreements should always be done very carefully, and only for very specific reasons.

Maybe this was such a case, but it really shouldn't be taken lightly.
