    Hulu to go paid in 2010

    Broadcast television has 5 minute commercial breaks, last time I used Hulu it had like 30 sec breaks. Broadcast television reaches over 300 million viewers. Hulu might have 50 million. You're not an ass for thinking it should work the same way as TV - just stupid. "Some amount of money you...

    Hulu to go paid in 2010

    Hilarious how so many people think they are entitled to free video entertainment and are too cheap to pay 10 bucks a month. Corporate greed my ass, you all are just a bunch of parsimonious people. EDIT: Also why is $$$$ardly censored? Someone fix that shit.

    Hearing To Happen On Bill To Audit the Fed

    If you really cared so much you wouldn't ask it on a forum (especially this one). If you actually want a balanced respected opinion email some people here: http://economics.uchicago.edu/faculty.shtml Edit: If you don't think they'll give you the time of day or don't respond let me know and...

    Hearing To Happen On Bill To Audit the Fed

    I have friends who work or have worked at Goldman, Citigroup, etc. and to be frank they are some of the most intelligent people I've known. If you knew the sort of minds that worked at those places you wouldn't be so quick to decry them. To label them as crooks whose only interests are...

    First job out of college- questions about benefits.

    Didn't realize graduating sans debt was such a big deal.

    Hearing To Happen On Bill To Audit the Fed

    Pretty much anyone with a decent background in Economics (read: not "self-educated" through online propaganda) can tell you why the Fed needs to operate in secrecy and why we need the Fed. Feel free to keep on sipping the Kool-Aid and reading Hayek and Rothbard though. You probably also think...

    Hearing To Happen On Bill To Audit the Fed

    I'm sick of Ron Paul and his crusade against the Fed. He fancies himself having a far better understanding of economics than he really does. Anyone who gets his or her information from the Ludwig von Mises Institute or shitty documentaries like "The Money Masters" shouldn't be in a position to...

    A personal tale of corporate waste...

    When you're PwC or Deloitte you can afford to send your people wherever the hell you want. And if you "don't want to work" for a company like that they couldn't give less of a shit because they have 500 people waiting in the wings to take your spot. Companies are gonna have conspicuous...

    What do you believe in?

    What are you trying to say? When a theoretical physicist takes Einstein's equations as a proper axiomatic basis for how the universe functions on a large scale you can indeed set out to prove time travel's impossibility as a mathematically logical consequence of the equations. Thorne and some...

    What do you believe in?

    LOL at saying time is not physical. Go read some Wheeler. You do know a couple decades back Kip Thorne and some grad students from Caltech set out to prove that time travel wasn't allowed by the governing equations of physics but ended up finding there was nothing contradictory to the idea...

    Jean-Claude Van Damme to fight Somluck Kamsing in K-1

    He's going to get mauled. Although Dolph did pretty well against Oleg... but Oleg wasn't an Olympic gold medalist.

    How much should a recent college graduate expect to earn?

    Most of my friends started around 70-80k. But they have degrees in engineering and hard sciences from top institutions and went to big companies like Microsoft or Deutsche Bank. A few stand to make 6 figures their first year out. I suppose the average would probably be 40-60k in this economy...
