   The story seems like a wankfest on American dogoodery. Argentina and the US had similar economies in the early 19th century. End of story. They diverged after that and Argentina handled one disaster after another very poorly. America chose

   I'm still not exactly sure how they managed to turn subprimes into AAAs either but from what I've been able to understand the rating isn't determined by the type or amount of the loans but the perceived risk in it. It's like your credit rat

   The power to move to the US or to Western Europe has not shifted anywhere if the news and personal anecdotes are to be believed. A lot of developing countries don't have the infrastructure or the intelligence to create another Silicon Valle

   Have you ever heard of anyone applying for an Indian residency visa (IE not tourist)? I have heard everything from you can't get one to they don't even do them. I know they have visas for employees of big companies like Microsoft or Intel.

   For all the lock-in that everyone claims Apple has. From my experience I had never bought anything from iTunes until just recently. When they finally dropped the DRM on their music I assumed it was safe to proceed. I have had an AppleID sin

   They do have one thing going for them. Unlike the narrow defined parameters of American higher education they do have a variety of outlets. You can stop your education at any time and basically have a degree (I think it's called a license)

   I'm not a rails developer but from an outsiders perspective, really who cares. And the people who are bothered remind me of the same people complaining of late night cable tv. The title of the seminar was called "Perform like a p0rn star"!

    I guess that explains a lot. My wife is Moroccan and she was telling me about gangs of boys preying on other boys sexually. I was thinking man that's fucked up. Who would ever do that but the most twisted, devious minds. Apparently this is

    Battery pack is a good idea. I have a UPS that is just about dead (~1 minute of backup, but I keep it for spikes and drops). I thought it would be great if the PSU had a built-in UPS. The space between the PSU and drive bay would be a perfe
