As a longtime Mac owner, this is kinda fascinating.

Kyra – stick to acting and keeping Kevin Bacon happy.
The thing about the whole plastic bag thing is that all you need to do is throw away your trash, like all the people at tea parties do.
It’s better to shut your mouth and let them think you’re a fool, then to open it and remove all doubt.
Kyra Sedgewick – another rich hollywood liberal ready to tell the rest of us how to live.
I was thinking – if Obama made every rich hollywood or entertainment celebrity hand over half of their wealth – to start, then tax them at 75% because really, who needs ALL THAT MONEY for themselves, wouldn’t that be helpful to pay off the debt?? I mean Oprah Winfrey alone could pay off tens of Billions of dollars! Or maybe all this money from the ‘stars’ could be taken and given back to all the states to help with municipal budgets which are really being hit hard right now…
I mean, why NOT do that? fair is fair, is it not?
You know its true — when something exceeds your ability to understand how it works, you are ignorant.
machine – very excellent point.
typing this from my phone, heading home after a small spring break vacation. Bob – can you call me tomorrow or so? never know when to call you, as I don’t want to call at an inconvenient time
would love to chat at some point though, when it was convenient for you
cute, but I fail to see any usefulness to this machine in my own daily life.
That’s what I dislike with Apple. Everything is about the coolness factor, not about functionnality.
The iPhone was a very good example of this, taking 3 generations to catch up to what other phones had been doing for years because they had built a toy with a billion gimmicks that also has a phone app, not a phone…
syble – been thinking about that concept for YEARS myself. tax the SHIT out of celebs and athletes to pay off the debt. THEY’LL make that money back no problem and hopefully the debt could be settled? just a thought
You could take every penny, from every celeb and jock, and it would probably not pay for a single day of the spending these bastards ore doing.
speaking of pennies, has anybody noticed that the penny got a rear revamp? I’d link to it, but I’m typing this on my phone right now, on the road. anybody know WHY the rear of the penny had a 1 side revamp?? there some penny counterfeit funny business I’ve not heard?
Actually, when something exceeds a person’s ability to understand how it works, that is not evidence that he are ignorant, but rather that, with respect to that thing, he is stupid.
Ignorance is simply the *lack* of understanding, and it is cured by acquiring knowledge and growing in understanding; and so, if one is *merely* ignorant in some way, then definitionally one’s *ability* to understand the thing has not been exceeded.
did some digging, apparently the penny got a rear revamp due to the 100th anniversary OF the Lincoln penny and the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birthday
Tomato, Tahmahto, stupid is as stupid does.
Dang. I think I discovered I was stupid somewhere in my second semester of Physical Chemistry.
There are a number of things in the first video that strike me as very wrong:
1) Public sector employee unions are allowed to influence elections that affect the way the public sector funds are taxed and spent.
2) Public sector jobs pay more than their private sector counterparts. Given the stability of public sector jobs, the lack of performance criteria for advancement and the near total job security these jobs offer their workers, these jobs should not be paid significantly less. In fact, it strikes me this is a fairly recent development.
3) Public sector and union types are able to take a great deal of time away from work to petition the government, whereas small business people cannot. This leads to a class of citizen that can peaceably assemble and petition the government more readily than the common citizen, thus having a disproportional influence on the government.
The result is a distortion of the republic.
Nicholas, I don’t know the first thing about chemistry … not even enough to know whether I’m stupid with respect to chemistry, or simply ignorant.
