I see you still haven't had the common decency to TIMG tag your charts. As for debate with you? Why bother, it's the same thing every day with you. You just copy and paste the same things.

Unless you're working on a tiny laptop screen the images do not extend past the normal width of the forum. Relax yourself and realize that the images are very easy to read, very adequately sized, and focus on the content of the thread. If they were all TIMG'd then everyone would have to click on each individual image to actually consume the content of the chart. Furthermore, knowing you, if I had TIMG'd them, you'd probably be complaining that you can't read the fine-print anymore and that I was somehow attempting to be misleading by not making the fine-print visible enough for you to analyze.



The trouble is in true authoritarian style you present charts from various right wing/big business sources (complete with oversize type and charts,which as you know is the equivalent of shouting,not the best way to start a discussion) and present them as "truth" thereby establishing your own rules,no room for any debate on options.What the U.S. is going through is "end of empire" get used to it and adapt or die.

Right wing big business sources like the Congressional Budget Office, the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Census Bureau? (all sited as sources in the fine-print of the graphs) Puh-lease! If you think the charts are wrong, which exact components are wrong? Can you post the right graph? And where will those graphs get their data from which you consider to be more reliable than the organizations I listed above? Talk about a straw man. You're willingly ignoring the problem and pretending it doesn't exist because if it's real... then common sense would dictate that we have to make cuts to the welfare/entitlement programs you hold so dear.



And in the 14,298 other threads in which people have brought up OTHER solutions to reduce deficit/debt, you pull the same crap. So don't start with that. You are one of the biggest pots in a sea of black kettles.

Unless the solution is cutting SS, Medicare, or Medicaid, or any myriad of programs that actually help people, you and your ilk want nothing of it. You want more cut taxes for wealthy and less tax and regulation on business. Period. To you, that is the ONLY way to move forward.

It's understandable that rich people don't want programs that help people, because they themselves don't need help. Hopefully, you don't plan on needing Social Security or Medicare/Medicaid when you are older, and i'm sure your parents are good without it either. If they need assistance, you will cover them, I'm sure.

I know you WANT to give your solution... you're so close... c'mon... say it: "I think we should drastically increase taxation on wealthy Americans to fix this problem."
What I want to know is how exactly you expect businesses to grow jobs, expand operations, etc. in this type of situation. It seems fairly clear based on the facts that A) this wouldn't be near enough money to solve the problem B)that the end result in the long run will almost certainly be less growth, fewer jobs, and less government 'revenue' than before. C) that you'd kill what chance we have left at regaining a strong economy as large businesses would do whatever they could to get their assets in locations of lower tax burden.

I have .Mac, but I probably won't be using this feature, disregarding some rare exceptions.

The reason: I prefer using the old Apple paradigm of "one application - one task". Yeah, I know, I like my habits from the outdated old century. I've never completely felt comfortable with web applications, since they don't have keyboard shortcuts that are analogous to the rest of the system. But with more and more applications moving to the web, I admit that I'm fighting a losing battle.

Yes, I'm aware that gmail and .mac have well-functioning autosave features, but that doesn't comfort me well when I try to move to the beginning of a line using command-leftarrow and end up wasting my concentration on the whole "gah! my document disappeared!"-idea. And I haven't even begun talking about command-Q�

Visionaries have been talking about the browser replacing the OS as our main UI for many years, but I still don't think the conventions are mature enough for [me, at least] to do my serious tasks in browsers - yet.

Side by side with Nano and 5G, and the bundled accessories.

These things are seriously going to sell like crazy!!

One of the patents:
Mobile telephone capable of displaying world time and method for controlling the same

An apparatus and method for calculating and displaying local time for a plurality of cities in the world. The apparatus includes a memory for storing Greenwich mean time (GMT) information for each of the plurality of cities. The apparatus sets a reference time and counts the time that elapses from when the reference time is set. The apparatus calculates a local time of a city selected by a user, which is based on a difference between the GMT of the selected city and the GMT of a present location of the apparatus, the reference time and the counted elapsed time. The reference time may be either a time set by the user or a system time acquired from a signal generated from a remote system.
How can companies get patents for such trivial algorithms???

Now I'm not a lawyer, but I do know that there's only one GMT. Cities don't get their own GMT. That's kinda the point of the G in GMT. If Samsung think that Apple is storing the "GMT of each city", and the "GMT of the location of the device" then they're in for some disappointment.

On the other hand if they've patented a method for botching your alarms every time the clocks go back/forward they may be onto something.

You can make the dock transparent with Mirage Dock. Works with 2D or 3D dock.

thanks a ton. worked perfectly

I hope this doesn't signal the end of edesign's stabs at newbies with comical macros :(.

Yeah
Those are so nice :D
Keep up the macros and the good work edesign ;)

A little American Psycho this month.

Excellent.

The diesel saga is a story for another thread...but VW is one of the few car manufacturers selling vehicles in the US with a diesel.

Its worth pointing out that the current Jetta also follows the Cheaper+Bigger philosophy, although it will be sold in Europe as well as North America. I should also note that this new American Passat is not related to the previous generation Passat. The current Euro Passat is a facelifted version of the previous car. The new American Passat is a new design that will be sold only in North America and China. So we now have two "Passats" in the market that are actually different cars, though they are sold in different markets.

I hope they don't give the Golf the Cheaper+Bigger treatment as well...

Wow I didn't expect that. Most of my friends who are android fanboys respect the iPhone somewhat but not the iPad. :confused:

If I wear a nice business suit, am I to blame when I get mugged?

This one is called spinning cat! :D
