    GM: Largest IPO or Largest Scam?

    From what I understand, Treasury breaks even on their GM "investment" around $50 +/- $5. Once Treasury sells out it's game over, regardless of the billions in tax write-offs the government gave them.

    Dont bother with either laptops or "gaming" computers

    There's one technique you've overlooked -- buy a better laptop... Thinkpads are the only way to go if you depend on your computer for business and want a mobile desktop. I'm on my 8th since they were first released in the mid 90's. Never had one of them overheat, ever. Very few problems...

    IP Addresses (forum posts) confidential??

    There's no such thing as a "false" IP address. Spammers are most often charged with theft of service because they've hijacked someone's server via a vulnerability and used that server, and their internet connection, to distribute their spam. And, no, there are ways you can access the...

    Fat Tax...

    Now that you've made it painfully clear that you do not have a Ph.D. in metabolic process, how about going out and talking to one that does? Hint, it ain't just fat intake that can make you fat when you have the "wrong" set of genes... http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/abstract/133/8/2549

    Fat Tax...

    How are you going to tell the difference between the self-inflicted fat person and someone who's a genetically predisposed fattie? DNA tests? Sure... What's next, a procreation license given to those with "good" genes and/or brain function? Does a person who leads an unhealthly...

    Employee personal trading guidelines

    Take this FWIW... Back in the mid-90's I was working at a large investment bank in NYC. Had this consultant working for me who had signed the standard personal trading restrictions, fairly similar to what you've posted here. Anyway, one day I got a visit from compliance. Turns out this...

    Unemployment Offices To Add Armed Guards - Indiana News Story

    So, you're going to take the rant of some other site without actually doing any fact checking on your own first? Food stamp eligibility has some fairly strict requirements. If someone has enough assets to maintain the outward appearance of normalcy simply by not paying their mortgage I...

    All your homes belong to us says wells fargo

    Completely disagree. Microsoft is much bigger than Bill Gates and that company isn't driven by greed. Theirs is a scorched earth policy based on gluttony; they want to own the entire market they happen to be in or decide to go after. Problem is, they don't do it with better products, they...

    NYSE Breaks Trades of S&P 500 ETF Showing 9.6% Plunge

    +100 Anyone who thinks that this kind of software patch could EVER be rolled out during the work-week, never mind during working hours, is simply devoid of clue. This is the sort of thing that is regression tested ad nauseam and only rolled out over the weekend but, only after it's been...

    $USD debasement question.....

    While that's mathematically correct it doesn't take into account the more than likely event that the government would do something to screw people who own gold/silver out of any windfall gain due to an overnight devaluation.

    $400 per gallon oil. 100+ fuel trucks set on fire

    You mean turning back into Russia. "Russia," as well as "Ruscia," are of Latin origin. They initially referred to the first slavic state Kievan Rus' which formed during the 9th century. Then there was Ivan the Terrible, the first crowned with the official title "Tsar of Russia" in the...
