I feel bad for these so to be former booth babes. Now they will have no work and not get paid. This means they may have to do even worse jobs. I remember back in the Comdex days we had to hire one and it cost us quite a bit of money. I talked with her and I found out the girl made a good living being a pro booth babe. For her it was better than turning tricks.

"The Court has also asked for all websites having published parts or the entire trailer to be banned for 30 days."

I am so happy that I am now a banned author. Time to add that one to old resume.

As someone who has two iPhones on T-Mobile for over year each they have never made us opt-in to a smartphone plan. We use out old dumbphone plan. Have a iPad Mini with Verizon and use data sharing as needed.

I think that the govt at all levels should be required to give free wifi internet access without any hassles. No log ons no crap pages. Any company or not for profit that gets govt funding or business with govt should also give out free wifi.

How much money was donated to Obama campaign compared to the amount of money donated to mittens. If this company donated enough money to Obama it will be approved.

It is 2012. I was promised flying cars by the year 2000. I WANT MY FLYING CAR NOW!

Actually the problem is cost and govt. regulations and ease of being able to stop things.

The NYC subway system was built when it was cheap(er) to do it. It would never ever be built today. The lawsuits alone would kill the project.

LA in comparison has mostly adobe in the ground making it very expensive to dig in the area. The cost of lawsuits and then federal govt. regulations make such an undertaking impossible. Look at how much the govt. interferes with just about everything that goes on in world today.

>But that would require money for infrastructure investment which would create lots of jobs which would help the economy...

Which in turn takes money out of the private sector making it more and more difficult for a real recovery. Keep in mind the average time for an economic down turn is 18 months. We are at what?

We tried this in 2009, what was result? I believe little to nothing. Even the president laughed about the idea of shovel ready jobs. Take the money out of somewhere else.

Dare I mention environmental regulations. It would never get done with the EPA alone.

That whoosh of the windmill is horrid. I mean horrid. All day, all night. Sounds like a low power jet engine. I used to live about four blocks (or so) from one. Everyone thought cool seems like good idea. The people including myself thought it was a great idea.

Worst idea ever. I had to move just to be able to get to sleep. The noise is never ending. So until you live near the whoosh I would be careful of what you wish for. I live three blocks from train tracks, about a mile from the interstate, I will take those.

Uhm. POTUS Obama and Sec of Homeland Security, just said that.

Well that would be excellent to to spare some water. The problem is not all the midwest is under water. Usually only small parts are underwater. And trust me if there could be method to store large volumes of water we would. We would be storing it, as we are approaching drought conditions right at a Mid Summer's Night.

Here we grow row crops, melons, cattle, hogs (yech), and horses. If we are out of water you are out of food.

I am not sure that I understand this. A place that is a desert, with sage brush and the works, unless it pumps in tons o' water is going to have hot days. And over a period of 50 years some of those days will break heat records in a desert. And there will be times when heat lasts several days together, just like it was when I was told the ice age is coming?

Yes this makes sense now.

I used the old version of these from Wal-Mart or Best Buy. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sony-DR-EX12IP-Headphones-for-iPod-and-iPhone-Black/17480439. These are my long time favorites. Fit nice in my big honking ear hole with the white buds. Can by replaceable soft rubber for the ear in various sizes.

I can keep them in for hours. Blocks out the whole world while I am out doing needed evils (like shopping). I cannot really hear people who may want to talk with me as I do not want to talk with them. Very little noise out for other people to hear. I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES.

I agree on the lack of value of the degree. Except that it is BA a lot of people care if you have a BA in something anything. I earned a degree in mid 40s for something I did for years. Paid for itself in 2 years. One if you count that I got a job because of the degree.

In the US agism is even worse. By 35 you are out of the computer field. At 45 trying to find a job, I can't even get an interview for things I am qualified for.

Not to sure how the uni system works in Germany. In the US you need a BA first before you get to the good stuff. I have a friend who just did what some people are suggesting and do some MA level work and get a certificate. The difference between me and him is I would receive the MA which I can use in varying ways. He has certificate. Guess who did more work for their paper? No me.

Again not sure how Germany works, go do a BA online. While I had all my lower crap taken care it took me only a year to do a pile of credits as they did not limit my speed and I had experience in the field. So while people were going uhm uhm how do you do this. I was done and moving to the next assignment. There were classes that I had to take, which I could easily teach. Took me 2-3 weeks for three credits, most of the time waiting for the graders to grade. Keep in mind I already worked in the field for years. I also invested 8-10 hrs a day as I was unemployed. I did spend some time helping fellow students on the boards.

BTW I went to Western Governors Uni. Fair price donee quick. I got what i needed, a piece of paper dat says i be smurts. Now I am on some MA stuff that is much more fun. Oh yeah I started at 42.

I would suggest that if you can get a BA quickly, do it. Then go for the MBA or something like that.
