Re: I'm quite surprised, really --

Basically I agree with everything you said. My opinion: the top people in banking & investing do *NOT* want a recession now, so they are doing everything they can to prop the economy up, while they are getting everything they want from the current government (tax cuts, subsidies, etc.).

Once a Democrat is elected, these same people will be screaming about the debt, deficits, spending on social programs, etc., and then *bam* we will have our recession.

Look at what Bush did to the US economy, and nothing bad happened until the end (and then they blamed Obama for everything). I fully expect we will see the same thing again.

Did you test that? No, I thought you tested it. Now customers have it and it doesn't work

Re: Indeed on the pork ...

When I was in the military, I never met so many people with 4 fingers on one hand or the other.

The story was, invariably, "I was doing (x/y/z...'jumping off truck/repairing truck/etc.) when my ring caught the p/q/r (door/handle/rotating piece of equipment, etc.)"

Since then, I always take off any jewelry when doing any work. Getting divorced also helped!

Re: Touchscreens

^ was going to point this out as well. I find the touch pad to be much more precise. Also, extra advantages: you don't have to take your hands away from the keyboard & no greasy paw prints on your screen! (greasey smudges on my screen are my biggest pet peeve).
