Has anyone told legislators about this? Might be an eye opener to some of the people under the dome…
There are 100 of them. They can at least crowd carry Rush to the balcony and toss him off.
It is an organic system which can be examined through a variety of analytical tools, including epistemological theories in general, network analysis (including cellular automata, which use algorithms to cause network nodes to be triggered in multiple ways into multiple possible states by neighboring nodes), game theory, and meme theory. The processes by which it forms and transforms, by which the distribution of beliefs and values and knowledge is in a constant flux and progression, resemble the processes by which diseases spread and change (epidemiology) and by which genes spread and change (evolution). It is not a single thing, but a field characterized by spatial and temporal variation (ie, it changes as you move from person to person, and from moment to moment).
In other words, “public opinion” is another one of those archaic, sloppy terms that refers to something extremely important, but does so with extreme imprecision.
The “diseased” ideology in the dogma of far right opinion was efficiently laid bare by Stephen Colbert:
“I’m trying to move an elephant that’s become mired in its own muck,” – Michael Steele, Conservative
Bad ideas based on poor logic and little evidence can be amazingly robust. The history of refining the processes of “meme” production and dissemination in order to test and confirm information, and apply the best analyses to it, remains a subplot (though one very gradually growing in salience over the centuries) in the larger story of superstitions and arbitrary beliefs (see signature literary excerpt below).
Despite recent voluntary days off w/o pay of many employees, they’ve moved on to the next step. Jessie was one of the better paid engineers doing what she did which probably was a factor in her dismissal.
One gone, one left…….
The good news is that her husband seems to still have a good job in high level construction project management. Austin still seems to be cruising along, not yet much impacted by the Decession. Housing prices never skyrocketed, so they aren’t plummeting now.
Dell, of course, is impacted by the economy in the whole world.
I think Dell has major problems. We’ve always bought all of our h/w from them and in the last 6 months their customer service has gone to hell. We’re considering switching to HP because we can’t get them to deliver what we actually order.
My guess is they’re facing a lot more than just the economic slowdown.
We’ll never order from Dell again. The illness is called complacency. It endemic across the land. Obama may not be enough stimulus. He needs to breathe even more fire. We all do.
and demand better service and product quality from manufacturers.
These corporations get too comfortable, thinking that we need their products, so we’ll take the crap they sell and like it. We, in our passive/aggressive nature, accept it. Look at Microsoft, and now Dell.
As consumers, we deserve better. As manuyfacturers, they need to realize that if they challenge themselves to create rather than mimic, consumers will be more excited about their products.
My Dell laptop has lost its “g” and “v” keys, the power adapter is totally shot, as is the battery, the DVD drive failed after a year, and any graphically demanding program will simply not run on its ultra-discount graphics card.
The color laser printer I bought from them has NEVER worked properly, always producing a giant streak across the page regardless of how much I clean the print heads.
Never never never will I buy anything from Dell again. And the sad thing is, this is the third Dell computer I’ve owned; the other two were actually pretty good.
The company has just turned to shit in the last couple years.
I’m not being defensive of Dell, just asking if the other big companies are having the same quality issues or not.
After all, most of the hardware comes from the same sources overseas. Also, with the complexity and sheer numbers of, let’s say, keyboard keys, there will be a rate of failure that would be impossible to get below, at least w/o huge costs. For ultra-mission critical servers, I guess you could buy milspec…….for a few gazillion dollars.
Ironically, my daughters work in different areas but both having to do with servers. I think the laid off one was with new product design and the other, are you ready, in quality control.

before Dell rose to its current market share.
I don’t know the Dell approach, but I would be surprised if Mac’s had those kinds of problems today. My subcontractors who do graphics all use Mac’s.

Rep. Ike Skelton, D-MO made the
appointments on Friday.
and member of the Armed Services Committee, Doug Lamborn?
I kid, I kid.
I used to have a lot of respect for him. Like some others I’ve known, he turned into a batshit crazy whack-job after he found Jesus and was “born again.”
He said that if Texas were to secede, he’d like to be president. Exercising your first amendment rights is a fundamental freedom in this country, but advocating secession is ridiculous. Just ask the nuts in Alaska how it’s going for them.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/i…
“I’m not saying that other states won’t muster the gumption to stand and secede, but Texas has the history to prove it.”
Is it really such a bad idea? And is it secession if it’s mutually agreeable? I think the Obama administration and the Congress should put together legislation to allow Texas to leave.
As long as they take the Shrub, Speedy Gonzales, Ron Paul and Rick Perry with them when they leave, I say we tell the Lone Star State, “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!”
And the Palin-Jindahl ticket will begin the race in ’12 with 32 less electoral votes than John McCain got in ’08!
After President Norris nationalizes the oil production in the Republic of Texas, and he’s declared the leader of a “rogue regime.”
The local militia will be bribed with Bass Pro Shop gift cards, and the Republic will be conquered without a shot being fired.
After he’s found in a spider hole outside El Paso, President Norris and his co-conspirators Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck will be tried by a jury of their(ahem) peers, and hanged on the front steps of the capitol on pay-per-view.
The money from the pay-per-view will be used to balance the federal budget.
I liked to watch bad guys get beaten in the most unbelievable plots imaginable.
you’ve owned a pair of “Action Jeans.”
but I always wanted Bruce Lee to knock his block off.
It’s sooooooooo campy, with the pussy cat, the chest-hair grabbing, the church-lady finger wagging, and the slow-mo. I died.
where Norris grins and says, “I’m gonna run for President of Texas,” and Lee looks on sadly saying, “Please don’t, that’s stupid,” and Norris does it anyway, and Lee snaps his neck.
….for a pair of jeans back in what, the seventies?
But a good investment I guess the next time a gang of neer do wells assault you.
My favorite program:
Great idea Plant had in the legislature, but never had the money for. Ultimately this program saves the state money and helps the environment.
I can’t help it, I really like the GEO.
