Sorry, you're just compounding fallacy upon fallacy. This is plainly incorrect. Your first post has a graph showing Social Security is unfunded, this is clearly not true as I have already provided evidence for. Your attempt to
...means little when you're posting misleading information in the first place in order to make a scare-mongering argument about deficit reduction.
Is the US screwed? No. I've already told you why.
As for your misleading graph about taxes and revenue, note that they dropped from 9.4% to 6.7% over a 30 year period, a decline of almost one third.
Which of my 'fallacies' about SS do you specifically deny? None I'm guessing.
Also, it's not my fault that you don't understand what 'unfunded liabilities' are. It doesn't even compete with your point about SS being 'ok' for another 15 years. Unfunded liablities are calculated traditionally on a 75 year basis... to determine the long-term viability of various government programs. So, as the chart clearly states that in the next 75 years (~ the life of your children) the system will be short 7.9 Trillion dollars. Meaning, for the same payouts to continue, we'll have to come up with that amount of money to cover the difference. This difference is caused by a lessening number of payers and an increasing number of receivers... as I mentioned earlier when pointing out accurately how SS is a ponzi scheme.

I suppose I should point out, as is inevitable, that gay men are barred from giving blood, at least in the United States.
So, while I can't participate, my best wishes to those who can. Thank you for your sacrifice!
Wow I never knew that, I can't donate I had anthrax vaccination .

Saw one of these parked up down my road earlier, in my opinion it's the best car on the market today. Amazing looking, so comfortable, and very very fast when they need to be.

How is that? Christians are making their women wear burkhas now?
Well, there's that whole "take our personal religious values and use it as the basis for laws that we will then project onto a larger, diverse population and prosecute those who go against such values, even if they have no moral value outside the purview of said religion."
But other than that, yeah. I don't see it.

The Samsung counter-suit is in response to Apple's original lawsuit against Samsung over the Galaxy line (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/18/apple-targets-samsung-with-new-lawsuit-over-galaxy-line/) of smartphones and tablets. Apple has accused Samsung of "blatant copying" of the iPhone.

Dude... if you're dropping 90% of your calls on the iPhone 3G then you should have talked to AT&T. They would have given you a personal cell tower to fix your signal issue. Your iPhone has nothing to do with your poor signal strength.
The reason I drop so many calls is that most of my phone calls are made on the drive home from work and AT&T has several dead zones along that drive. It's not like I'm out in the boonies, either. I'm never more than a couple of miles away from an interstate.
The thing that pisses me off more than anything is the fact that I'll look at the phone immediately after dropping the call and see 3-4 bars of 3G signal. I think AT&T's towers are just overloaded or poor quality. I'm well aware that it isn't the phone's fault, which is why I want to switch to Verizon. But I refuse to pay to switch to a new carrier just to get a phone that is 10 months old and has a well-known problem with its antenna. Not to mention the fact that almost every other manufacturer will have a 4G compatible phone by the time Apple gets around to producing one.
I don't want to lock in a 2 year contract on already obsolete technology.

Petabytes didn't exist in my dictionary until today. Thank you, MacRumors.
My first thought has already been said.
Im curious how long that will suffice...
My first question has been asked.
12 petabytes? That doesn't seem like too much, actually. that's 1GB of storage for 12 million customers
My first concern has been noted.
---
This thread has read my mind today. I learned what a Petabyte is - today is a good day.
I am concerned about how long Apple will take to fill that space and need to expand, of course, this is the first round of storage purchasing, and I'm sure there is more to come - but I'm not as concerned as I am interested. The rate at which this storage is used, consumed, and expanded upon will really show how far we've come in terms of computing capacity.
An IT professor I know whom I saw today said, "It's a great time to be alive", and that has stuck with me very well for the past few hours. I truly am happy to be here to witness our expansion in technology. :)

Who's talking about decisions? It's about teaching responsibilities.
Obviously you can't prevent any person from doing as they desire, but setting rules is not a prison sentence, it's a loving parent exercising their responsibility to set guidelines for a yet not grown up (technically) young adult who doesn't know any better. Sure they need to learn by their mistakes, but tell that to him when he's 19 and responsible for a baby who never asked to be brought into the world. He'll have to grow up then won't he or can he?Tell him yourself, the little brat started this thread because he is mad at mommy and daddy.
The thread starter will have to wait 18 years and 9 months to figure out if he'll let his own brat sleep over.

I can confirm that I am a genuine iPhone 4 user who loves it.
And I can confirm that my ass itches.
(Point being, your confirmation about yourself means nothing.)
Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of problems with my iPhone as well, just confirming with others who can do nothing to fix it... isn't helpful at all.
It's just that the only real 'confirmation' (at least the only one that matters) is done by the manufacturer's testers ... (Apple's in this case)...
AFTER you report the issue (https://bugreport.apple.com/), with clear & easy to follow repro steps.
So if you have an issue that you can consistently reproduce, with any software... lookup the manufacturer... see if they have a bug reporting tool (or a support contact), and report it. ^_^
