I quoted older data (2010) but more recent data (that I lost the link to) shows that 90.5% of stocks are held by the top 10% with the top 5% holding about 67% of all stocks. The spectators/players line is because nothing you or I do will affect or change the markets, that's reserved for the...

I couldn't give a shit about your awesome portfolio. I got called out about what exactly? Someone says that they don't have any stocks so the news here doesn't matter to them. I come in and state a statistic to them and tell them that they aren't alone. The first idiot comes in and automatically...

Don't feel bad about it. Since four out of five stocks are held by the top 10% in this country, that's not a surprise. The stock market is theirs, not ours. They're the players, we're the spectators.

Word. Metro makes me think of the registers that fast food places use where there are no numeric keys, just pictures of food. :D

At least a Yugo could get you off of the dealership lot before breaking down. :D

I have used Norton products since Norton Commander for DOS and I dropped using them when they went full metal bloatware with their Systemworks, stuffing so many TSRs into it that I said fuck it. I heard that they changed course with their antivirus in 2009 and I have to agree that it's lean and...

They were expecting the test audiences to rush out and buy Apple products afterward and instead they were committing suicide two minutes into the movie. :D

Paraphrasing Reagan: There's so much shit in that stable that there has to be a pony under it! :D

Are you trying to impersonate an old person? Hell, us really old folks used to measure speed without any letters! Now get off of my lawn! :D

That leaves around 70 million people for you to interact with. Get to work! :D

I knew it was a symbol used by other groups prior to the 'nazification' of it but thought that one on the map looked funny. Now I know why! :cool:

Radiation levels? What I want to know is what the Nazi camp is doing in the upper left of that image! :eek:

The "/MBA" closer should have been a clue that I was wearing my imaginary MBA 'hat'. Common sense doesn't matter to those types, whether or not they are right or wrong is usually found out after the fact. When a company is financially stressed change has to happen. Too often that's when the...

I'm sure that the bean counters have worked this one out. Why pay people to do a set amount of work for $xxxx a month when you can get them into the office and push them to get more done than they would at home. Increased productivity means fewer bodies needed to get the same job done. The move...

Clearly the solution is to put some PETA whaling blockade ships in the game. Oh, and allow the whaling ships to ram and sink them. Problem solved. :D

Linux is very forgiving on hardware specs. I'm now on an old Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop (P4-3.4EE Gallatin s478, 1GB RAM, ATI 9800 256 Mb.) running Fedora 17 with KDE desktop and it's a smooth runner. This is my home garage laptop. I also run F17/KDE on my XPS m1730 (C2E X9000, 8GB RAM, Nvidia...

Install, uninstall, Install, uninstall, Install, uninstall, Install, uninstall, Install, uninstall ... :D

A clean rubber eraser is safe to use on gold contacts. I use them all of the time to clean contacts in unstable systems that customers bring in. I live in a high humidity coastal area and they get a film on them after a while. Most systems don't have a problem with this but some high performance...

I'm sure that some crook will figure out that they can kill you and then cut off your finger and use it to drain your bank account. Now that's convenience! :D

I should have ended that with /sarcasm :D Which is exactly what the 'free marketers' want. Government keeping wages low is the wet dream of capitalists everywhere. Our version of "free markets" is that companies and government are able to exploit the labor force and blame the other...

Yup! As long as consumers believe they are entitled to cheap products and corporations believe they are entitled screw employees over with slave wages and little to no benefits, the beatings will continue until morale improves. The markets demand it!

Hey, if they think Metro is a good idea then why not this? :D Someone probably thought that an update named "Blue" for an operating system that has many people seeing red will change their view to purple!

A clean rubber eraser (for pencils) works well to clean up tarnished gold contacts.

"Good news, I got 72 virgins. Bad news, they're all dudes." "I have to admit that God has some nice tits! "When I see you tomorrow you better have a beer bong with you."

Really? Could have fooled me. :D I just like to come in and kick various <Insert Product Name Here> Hammer Legion members and I noticed you a long time ago. I'm beginning to wonder if you and heatless have signed some secret troll pact. ;)

Better check again, I don't participate in the Red vs Green debates. IOW, I have a life. :D

Pssst... Someone said something bad about Nvidia in the video card section. :D

I think they would build a better bridge into your computer but they already have Adobe Bridge. Maybe Adobe Bridge would be a better as an umbrella name for their software products. :D

If it was my store I would have set up the phone to auto answer and make the first question: If you are calling about technical support for an Apple computer product, please press 1 Then route the caller through about fifty questions like "If your iPod is pink, press 7." After the...

Know how people like to rubberneck a train wreck? Same concept, only with a bigger train wreck.

I thought they already did this. Oh, I see... they haven't conducted the cavity searches yet!

Pairov Titz

So that's what happens when you put wheels on an abortion.

Let the MicroHumping begin! :D

OK, that explains the nerd pron description.

Are you sure that this is a keyboard they are talking about? :D

Apple can audit all they want but when they are done and leave the plant the Chinese bosses will just put the kids right back to work. They're dealing with a country that will do whatever they want to do. What is Apple going to do, find a new country to build their shit? No matter what supplier...

Wow, Father Time has not been kind to Uncle Fester. :D

Does your monitor smoke? If so, take its cigarettes away! ;)

As I said in the post here announcing this exploit, someone should sticky this. :D We need one thread announcing a new exploit, one thread announcing the updated version release and one thread to announce that the updated version failed. An easy three stop shop for the latest in Java news!
