Death Panels and the Obama Public Option for Health Reform

Here's a video making a sarcastic point about Insurance companies and their greed/profit driven policies. We have an existing public option already - It's called Medicaid. Why not extend that to the rest and force the Insurance companies to get their heads out their...

Facebook vs Classmates

Why fall into the trap of finding former classmates and having to pay a fee through classmates.com? Facebook seems to do it all and more. You can even find old companions from junior high and elementary school. People create groups for fun to find old friends. And this is all for free...

WPF vs XBAP vs Silverlight

I prefer Silverlight, but that's a biased position because I do mainly web development and SOA work.

Here's a snippet of an article I found showing the main differences. Original source here

Silverlight is cross-platform and runs its applications in the browser; it can be used anywhere you use a web-browser.

WPF is Windows-only and usually runs its applications on the desktop; it requires that the .NET framework is installed.

Silverlight can be viewed as a subset of WPF (though this isn't technically correct). It does not have quite the feature set that WPF has. What you lose in functionality, though, you gain in adoptability.

WPF can deploy applications through the browser, using what is called an XBAP. This is not the same as Silverlight, though; whereas Silverlight applications are actually integrated into the browser, WPF is merely using the browser as a host for its process.

Aircraft Carriers, USS Cole, Carter-Obama, Yale Strangling

A low-humidity day with mild temperatures in the 80s... The talks were simple.

• Aircraft carriers are huge. There's a museum off the coast in San Diego where you can tour it. Imagine landing a plane on a moving spot the size of a basketball court. More info
• "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," Carter told "NBC Nightly News." More Info
• Yale student was strangled :( CNN article
  
• Why didn't the USS Cole sink? Did you see the barge that transported it back to the shipyard for repairs? From now on shoot first, ask later?

Obama Kanye Jacka$$ still going on?

FUNNY Post

I don't know where this quote came from. I'm just copying & pasting it:

"Silky Johnston: First of all, I wanna thank God for giving everybody so much, and me, so little. I hate you, I hate you, and I don't even know you and I hate your guts. I hope all the bad things in life happen to you, and nobody else, but you. And as I stand here sippin' the soda that I'm sure somebody spit in, I just wanna say yall can kiss my ass you rotten motha-fuckas. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go home and put some water in Buck Nasty's momma's dish. Good evenin'! "

Various topics from sports to Obama to racism

We started off with the Monday night football games and spoke of how the Bill screwed up with kick-off return. That was just a plain bad decision.

The conversation shifted to Serena's outburst.

It ended with Obama's healthcare speech being interrupted and its relation to Kanye's MTV VMA stunt.

There's still a lot of hate. It does not matter how many positive speeches the President gives; those that just don't like him for his color (which is sad) will not agree to any of his words.

No Change in Oil

The US is still heavily dependent on foreign oil coming from Canada, Mexico and Venezuela. No significant discoveries since the 1980's.
