   I was in Los Gatos for the epicenter of the 89 quake that was 6.7 I believe. It was pretty bad. It looks like this was handled much better.

   I fail to see the point of your post? Are you arguing that less transparency and information is a good thing? I doubt any of the people you are talking about "not caring" read this site to begin with.

   I always think of the two kids that got rich gaming the new Internet bidding process to buy tons of ammo that went to the military in george jrs. Iraq war that was completely useless.

   Wow, just one look at the airfield was a massive hit of nostalgia. I crash landed a thousand times as a kid there. At 5 frames per second on my 286. Thank's for the link. Mayor Daley did not mess around with closing it down. From your

   That is hilarious. Good thing they have strong unions and "don't be evil." Being slightly less conservative to the rabid dogs of today's right wing juggernaut is not a socialist utopia. In your world george bush jr. is a

    15 billion dollars in pure profit. You could pay a living wage with health benefits, or you could hire twice as many people and have everyone work less while paying more. This is just Facebook being cheap.

    Paying a third party for your privacy is a fools errand. If you want privacy, then use the tools on hand. Your credit card number is the last thing you should be sharing online with anyone if you value privacy.

    And then the math geniuses that could be the next Einstein are slaving away in cubicles writing algorithms for the stock market. So much potential lost in the pursuit of increasing someone else's wallet.

    Only twice the over run is not bad these days. Nuclear is a fantastic idea on paper. Then that paper gets shredded. "In the United States, the cost of Georgia Power’s newest twin Vogtle reactors may top initial estimates of $14 billion

    I remember reading that you have 2 years max to make money and get out before your guaranteed to get busted. It was a fun book. Personally I wouldn't recommend the lifestyle choice.
