The explanation is just about half of the population has less than average intelligence.

Somehow many of those have more than average money, and devices like this IPO are a great way to get it.

At some point you have to start paying it back. It's at the point half of every incoming dollar has to be immediately spent to pay interest. Did you really think the borrowing could continue forever?

I haven't checked it in a while since it doesn't render in Seamonkey (malformed XML error). Half the time it won't render in Firefox as they get cute with the MS only code. There are probably 2,500 unread spams in my account by now.

I've been using this for about 15 years. You get a WYSIWYG and a HTML text editor. It's 16 bit windows and fits on two floppies. It's decent for basic sites and is free if you can find it - but it was last updated in 1997.

The main drawback is lack of javascript support in the WYSIWYG but you can insert your scripts with the HTML editor and test in current browsers.

That's all well and good, but since I can't use this stuff, I'd like a refund in full for the console, and also for over $1,000 in unplayable games, in order to buy a similar system from a competitor who has much better goddamn security.

Once one of the largest cities in America, Detroit has no chance for surviving. In the latest tally the population is down to just 700,000. The city is finished, it really is.

From an article in today's Wall Street Journal:

"For years, Detroit was a synonym for American energy and opportunity. Here Motown Records was born and General Motors became the first company to make a billion dollars in a single year. And here the auto industry that we now think of as geriatric drove the American economy, helped create the American Dream, and defined American culture to the world."

Times change, people move on, they leave the city, website, whatever it is, because it is no longer relevant.

Google and some would argue Apple are providing marketplaces - a single go-to point for files for specific devices.

A better comparo might be Ebay, which rapes its sellers for an average of 25%, once listing fees, closing fees, monthly Store subscriptions, and mandatory Paypal fees are accounted for.

It's not that bright, you need a good telescope to see it. Not that rare either, one hits 12th magnitude once or twice a year. It looks like just another very dim star in the scope. The difference between January and now isn't much at all.

Now, if one were to pop off in our part of the galaxy it would be news. Astronomers have been waiting for one visible to the naked eye for about 400 years.

Here's a list of current supernovae:

are the glasses, these would actually be overkill as they can stop a beam pointed directly inward at point blank range.

They've always been dickish with their business practices. I remember in 1980 the price of silver shot up and they quadrupled film prices for the micrograms of silver per roll required for the emulsions. When the price of silver collapsed a few months later, the film prices stayed exactly where they were.

I shot Fuji ever after, until going digital.

That's a great deal if I'm a student.

How much is it if I am not a student?

I'm with you if we were talking about useful updates, but you are talking about Apple updates, which pretty much stick to one-upping jailbreakers, eliminating unauthorized apps, and otherwise interfering with legitimate use of the device.

IBM and Lenovo have been making ThinkPad computers since 1992, but Jobs probably would try for it anyway.

You don't have a choice, for a reason called forced artificial scarcity (F.A.R.T.S.). Not a joke.

The antenna still has to see the sky so it couldn't be too well hidden.
