That's according to Ben Bernanke, our chief counterfeiter. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100408/ts_alt_afp/useconomybankdeficit_20100408091746 Yes, it turns out the only reason this country appeared so prosperous (while having relatively low taxes) was due to insane amounts of borrowing from other nations. And you'll start your diet tomorrow. And you'll start waking up at a good time... next week. And you'll start regularly exercising, just as soon as that new gym opens up that's across from the mall. :laugh3:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/US-court-rules-against-FCC-on-apf-78990100.html?x=0&.v=4 "Net Neutrality" is a way for the government to assert authority over the business decisions of ISPs, which would effectively make all ISPs the same, destroying the possibility of competition and innovation. Governments also like to argue taxpayer money be used to expand ISP coverage in rural states, but it's unnecessary - the ISPs should be required to grow their customer base organically (using the profits from existing customers, as well as other means), just like every other business. Government handouts and regulations lock existing structures into place, which slows …

Hey all. I've got a mobile phone...and I've been stuck in a sort of SOS call mode for about 15 mins now. Here's how it happened! I was messing around on my phone, and I went onto this PIN thing (to enter my PIN number). It turned out it was wrong. Then it asked for something called a PUK code (wtf?). I have 2 options now: Enter a PUK code (which I have no idea what that is) or call an SOS number (112, 911, 999, 000, 08...etc...) I call any number, then immediately hang up, hoping to get out of it, but it takes me back to the "Emergency Call" screen. If I choose back from here, it takes me to the "Enter PUK code" If I enter any PUK code, it asks me for …

Hi! I just got back from seeing it in a preview and I have to let out my BIG disappointment. :bigcry: I knew the reviews weren't that good and I heard everywhere that it wasn't received very well at the Berlin Film Festival... But I am a huge fan of Leonardo's work, starting with movies like "This boy's life" until now so I went to see the movie and make my own impression. If this was a first movie by some new filmmaker I'd say "ok, there is potential" but from Martin Scorsese who did "Departed" etc? :wtf: The story could have made a brilliant movie. This work isn't. The dream sequences are horribly filmed. Was the colour of the blood meant to be "art"? Hi…
