It is surprising how easily companies will fund this change in buying habits when the entire company's existence depends on it. The CEO needs to have a come-to-Jesus moment though. We've spent several hundred thousand at "Win

Lots of things could supplant them, but the base is too large now and it has grown to cover the entire ecosystem. They spent the last 10 years beating out PICs, 8051s, etc. Because they were BETTER. And now a million engineers now how to

This is pretty neat. The radiation was a tell-tale sign of iron atoms that had been so battered that they lost nine electrons — the so-called “Fe X” (or “Iron 10”) line. The researchers checked another candidate and found the same trait. W

It ends with a crash, like always. In 2008 home prices got cut in half. An REIT will overextend, miss loan payments and fail, flooding the market with homes, which will drop the market prices. This will cascade, taking out more REITs.

The site doesn't ban, the users gang downvote you into oblivion for political views unpopular with west coast liberal values. Oh well - 95% of posts aren't political anyway. And other than that, the discussions are fantastic.

I had always thought Plato's argument was a reductio ad absurdum. Looking at it now, it seems he WAS actually arguing FOR censoring stories of the bad behavior of the gods AND FOR censoring Homer's Odyssey. Sigh.
