Not just a supply shock. Supply shock of food and/or fuel(energy). These are the absolutely need to have that you can't stop buy no matter what. Demand can't go down. Prices of foo…

Yes we would have run thru the forests of the world in record speed. Simply moved factories after trees until they're all gone. Railroads would have been running on wood until we r…

Pretty much nonsense and just an attempted excuse for not doing any reforms in the US. Europe was much more popularized than the US during the cold war between the hard left and th…

I can attest to that, account to account transfer is done at the same speed as a debit card use. (Hint in Norwegian banking they're the same thing)

It never ceases to amaze me that people fail to see what is the real cause of dysfunction in your election system. It's the single member constituency. Also known as single member …

Let me be the contrarian to make the case for NOT writing a new kernel at all (no matter what language) Many a year ago (1997-2000) I was working on banking and finance software. I…

my guess is that mobile networks do something with it, or some mobile network equipment do something wierd. I'm in Norway and it seem that a telenor (Norwegian telco) box respons t…

Nonsense. All A2A kills since 1999 have been with missiles. The F-16 have very preciously few A2A kills using guns.

Check wikipedia again an AIM120C is 300-400k an AIM120D is 1.7M (I think it was listed as 1.2M last I checked this page) According to this http://www.f-16.net/f-16_armament_article…

This guy got one. (Man take me back, used to have the HP drive on my first job in the 90's. (Sigh) The bad old days...) Maybe he'll take pity on you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

First revel in the fact that you actually get to choose :-) most programmers just get to play with a choice someone else made. First of all, are you going to be the product owner, …

He did the right thing in getting in getting this guy out of jail. On quite frankly thats more than enough to feel proud. His question is "what now?" from the point of view that th…

And changing the law was what I was hinting at

Well if someone try to shout you down, I'll shout you up! :-)

First of all you should take pride in what you have done already. You've gone way beyond what most of your fellow country men will ever do. While I understand, you're doing the wro…

We actually don't send people to prison (impost sanction) to make them stop. 0.1% of any population will break laws no matter what. The real reason for imposing sanctions is that 8…

Stop using gold as reserve currency and the price of gold plummets >99%

the US is just ahead in the curve. The brittish are naturally so onservative, if not outright reactionary, that the new buisness models haven't had the same impact yet. In Scandina…
