Just a simple plan to help you survive these times of financial strife.

1. Stop wasting money on lawyers.
2. Start making quality products.
3. ??? (actually you can skip this step)
4. profit.

When he says "behind" he means to say "ass."

Actually I think that is called the misanthropic principle.

I'm fairly sure that if a package has been tempered, you'd notice without a fancy sensor.

I too watched Blue Thunder when I was a kid.

Because there are clearly radio buttons on the Slasdot poll.

I thought political speech was even better protected in the US? Or doesn't it count if it's by a dictator who isn't propped up by the Pentagon?
Anyway these crazy videos are so unbelievable they count as parody in my book.

In short,
There is a huge shortage in affordable housing in Amsterdam and there is very little space to remedy this. Add to this that about 10% is owned as speculation objects by criminals with no tenants. Having unlicensed hotels and hostels on top of the 100 or so licensed hotels in these residential areas are a huge burden on the city and its inhabitants and also unfair competition to the businesses that do play by the rules.
Only last year there was a deadly shootout in an unlicensed hotel at the end of my street. If you are a US citizen that is probably a daily occurrence for you, but here in Amsterdam it is kind of a big deal.

My bank balance says otherwise. Then again, I invest in companies, not in the market.
When you go in without knowing a thing about the underlying companies or industries you end up relying on technical analysis or gimmicks like this which as far as I can tell is one magic crystal away from invoking sacred geometry to make market predictions. To paraphrase Robert Anton Wilson: Given a small enough chart and a blunt enough pencil any collection of points can be made to fit into a meaningful pattern.

Don't forget: Astrology relies heavily on extremely accurate and proven celestial mechanics. It is still bunk.
Econometrics (bookkeeping with differential equations) is a real science. Economics is at best a pseudoscience that has built a cargo cult around the results of econometrics.

And coincidentally, Dyson is about to launch a "top secret revolutionary product" you know like Kamen did with the Segway. So I guess this aricle is hyping up Dyson.

True, but PDA/mobile phone hybrids were around long before the iphone so still not a new invention.

That were the snot green LEDs of old. They even had pale blue LEDs cut from hideously difficult to work silicon carbide. So called "true green", bright blue and by extension white (which is a blue LED with a fluorescent coating) were an invention by one guy at Nichia in the 1990s and it is revolutionizing indoor lighting and LCD backlights.

I could play one, and my wife could play the other on her pc

So Steam has actually improved your marriage?

I sincerely hope that that policy includes a clause about the food in question being undigested.
