I don't have to justify why anyone is worth $500k a year. I'm not going to determine the worth of humans or thier work in some company I don't own. It's not my place because it's not my company. If they want to blow a lot of money on executive pay, so be it. Obviously it doesn't garuntee...

Hoo boy that's a stretch. Congress has the power to coin money and determine currency value, not use that currency to buy up private assests. You're also ignoring the fact that it was the President and not Congress that implemented the restrictions. Even futher, it's NOT Congress doling out...

Exactly. Where? Go read Article I, Section 8 on the powers enumerated to Congress. Go read Article II, Section 2 on the powers of the President. Nowhere does it give them the authority to buy stock in public banks, nowhere does it give them power to bail out failing buisnesses, nowhere does...

Yes, because a supplier can continue to manufacture whatever thier product is without ever having to worry about demand, consumer base, or competition. Also, I can't believe how the supplier keeps me down with those refrigerators, cars, computers, medicine, heck, even internet service. Those...

It's not entirely federal money though. These companies are not 100% funded by the government, nor are they owned by it...yet. If we cut out the executives, why not just cut out the whole company altogether? I think this is just a huge overstep of government authority. The whole mess is...

What do you think they're doing now? The whole problem is that these companies have been going all out for thier bottom line and ignoring anything else, like stability or wise invesment, for years now. So what do we do? Let the bad buisness models fail and purge the system of failed ideas...

You're missing the point here. Certain states and cities have structured thier tax revenues around these fairly consistantly large bonuses. It's all based around the income taxes. I can tell you one thing these companies aren't going to do with the leftover bonus money: Give raises to the...

Here's a quick and dirty example: http://www.canadianbusiness.com/markets/market_news/article.jsp?content=D960QHQ80 They really are. The upper level tax brackets pay a much higher percentage than lower ones. It's not the majority of taxes, but it certainly is substantial. If, for example...

Except that, places like New York City rely on the tax income from those executives for substantial portions of thier budget. There's a reason that NYC is having to shut down subway lines and cut services. I understand the logic, that if they're getting taxpayer money they shouldn't be able...

On the other hand, there's plenty of fiction where totalitarian and fascist governments are around, and those visions of the future aren't so pleasent either. The key is to modify corporate law, as to how they can be structured, and to change and enforce liability laws so that people can't...

The market hasn't been a "free market" since the begining of the 20th century. The reason credit got so out of hand was because: 1.)The Federal Reserve loosens the money supply every time the economy gets the sniffles. This means that when the economy has over produced and is correcting...

Yeah, it was definitely worth th $5 it costs on there, even though I had an older freeware version of it I got off a PCGamer disk back in 2001, ha. You just have to adjust your processor speed in the DOSBox .ini, as the default speed seems to be way too slow.

I have that very case on my current system, and I highly reccomend it. It's nice, sturdy, and big with a quick release case side, so it's easy to work in, the fans are powerful but quiet, and the anti-noise padding really makes a difference. Plus how it compartmentalizes the power source helps...

Oh, and I forgot one thing: One item that's easy to overlook is the medkit. So often you soliders are killed outright in one shot, people forget about them by the time they have armor and thier troopers can take a few hits and survive. Even in the begining it's always good to have one or two...

The real question is: what are you doing with this PC? Is it just a high-end gaming rig? If so, then you dont' need water cooling at all, in my opinion. Just get a larger case with lots of fans, and a nice big copper heat-sink for your CPU. Water cooling, in my opinion, is for very...
