i386: Easier said than done. A college loan is inherently based on the premise that your earning power after college is going to be much higher than before - a college loan is by definition a loan you can't afford to pay back. It's easy here in .au - HECS makes it a very-low-risk strategy. In the US, where college fees start from $30k or more, it's very high risk. - James Polley
I am overjoyed to say that I don't care one whit about Sarah Palin today. Have fun in Alaska reachin' across all those bridges you've now burned. - Carla Thompson
Obama spent over $700,000 in campaign money on stage lights in Berlin. What's a bigger waste of money? - Spencer
Nice. "One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family — clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent ‘tens of thousands’ more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. - Paul Buchheit
Well, it was pretty clear John and Sarah didn't get along when you saw them up there at the end of his concession speech. Can you say icy? - AJ Kohn
Spencer: that $700,000 was for the stage, lights, sound, etc. Large productions require lots of staff and equipment, so they're expensive. Palin just went on a massive shopping spree. And the biggest reason people are complaining is because the Republicans mocked Edwards's $400 haircut in the last campaign. - Gabe
What Palin allegedly did was wrong but come on anyone that pays $400 for a haircut deserves what ever anyone said about him. Besides I don't think that was the only trim he was getting - gfurry
Can we get over the stupid things both sides have done this last election and move on?!? You know, post-partisan, post-racial, post-sexist and all that? - Robert Worstell
She was trying to stimulate something... - Gautam Guliani
Great utility for OS X that allows adding a quick keyboard command to lock your machine, something I've been missing since I 'switched' from Windows 4 years ago. I've even mapped the lock to Ctrl-Alt-Del [via Grant Shellen] - Jason Shellen
I've been using it for months and love it. Just perfect for day to day. - Rob Schonberger
What's wrong with option + + eject? I guess I prefer sleep. - Joel
Nothing is wrong with that but I hate sleeping my machine, this is for occasions when I just want to lock and walk away. - Jason Shellen
@Joel, option + + eject sleeps the computer. Sometimes you just want to lock it (a la the Windows+L key-combo). I use the screensaver/password+hot_corners option to quickly lock it by throwing my mouse pointer at a screen corner, but some people don't want to have a screen saver password. - Carlos Granier-Phelps
Anthony Albanese, my federal MP, replied to my letter about Internet censorship. It’s nothing but platitudes and a regurgitation of Labor’s policy-speak.
Network engineer Mark Newton met with his local MP Kate Ellis in Adelaide yesterday. She too had nothing but canned responses.
This is not good enough.
The same goes for “pro-family” lobbyists like the Australian Family Association’s Anh Nguyen in Online filtering recognises families’ concerns today, or the people quoted in the Courier Mail’s Web filter ‘needed’ to protect kids from porn on Friday.
Detailed, coherent critiques have been put forward addressing the technical, economic and policy flaws in clear, straightforward language. If you can’t counter those arguments with evidence and logic, not more “think of the children” hand-wringing, then we must stop wasting time and taxpayers’ money on this “filtering” folly. Now. - James Polley
