    Okay, this can't be as stupid as it seems

    you're misunderstanding something. That last bit, where they throw large sums of taxpayer money at businesses that should have filed bankruptcy and been reorged, should also include the fact that they are throwing large sums of taxpayer money at various pork projects, and then attaching rules...

    Modal Logic

    Ah.. the joys of higher mathematics, and yes, logic is a math. And before I start waxing eloquent, let's remind everyone that it's been over 5 years since I got out of college, and getting pretty close to 10 since the last time I did logic and proofs.... The thing is that the logic, and...

    facebook + political sanity + a heart + a red envelope + mail box

    The cynic in me has to wonder if the USPS comes up with these ideas just so folks will send things through the mail...

    Alternate sources of income

    This is both unethical, and against the TOS for all ad services. Additionally, it may be illegal as it could be construed as fraud.

    Job listing scams?

    More or less, it's a franchise for IT support. There's a dozen or so similar companies out there. In truth, there's nothing fundamentally different between starting your own tech support company and being "hired" by them, save they will help market your services. Notice a few key phrases there...

    What how-to guides would you want to see on a blog?

    In college I started out with Pascal, went to Cobol then to C/C++ and finally Java (with a bit of SmallTalk, Eiffel, LISP, Assembler, and a half dozen others for good measure). But once I got out of college, I've used VB.Net almost exclusively. As for the other part of your post, sry, I...

    Obama elected President

    I have looked at that, but frankly, that case ignores the 10th amendment: The powers delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. so not voting for someone I found lacking, and considered an...

    Obama elected President

    So, you voted for someone that you actively didn't believe in? You voted for someone that you felt would not be a good President. Next, you're going to tell me that you chose something evil in order to "choose the lesser of two evils." But hey, the guys doing the campaigning for that...

    Obama elected President

    No, wall street did NOT get us into this situation. That falls squarely on two places 1) Clinton-era policies where bad lending practices were forced onto the bank systems in order to get as many low-income people into houses as possible. 2) People stupid enough to take out loans they could...

    Obama elected President

    I think it's a bit higher than that. After all, over a third of all Americans don't pay taxes--yet we keep giving them "tax cuts" (which in Liberal-speak is the same thing as a tax credit).

    Obama elected President

    taxes by their very nature are socialist policies. Especially the way that Obama views taxes and the thought that they are there to be used for wealth redistribution: exactly! Consider, we are under duress to pay these taxes, and if you don't then you are punished, and your property is taken...

    Required curriculum for gamers?

    What? No Colossal Cave Adventure? No MUD-love? Also, you can't have a history of video games without the first: Tennis for Two. .... my compsci geek roots are showing, methinks...
