On the morning of Friday, February 17, 2012, I wired my son and sent him to school. That night, when I listened to the audio my life changed forever. I heard my son being bullied by his teacher and aide.

Porn Filter on Computers

Posted on April 25th, 2012 at 17:01 by John Sinteur in category: Indecision 2012

To be fair it was said in 2007. He has probably changed his position on this more often than a porn whore in a three way.

  1. He’s talking about having parental controls in place. Windows has them, Mac OS X has them, iOS has them…

  2. He’s even a bigger idiot than I imagined and he just showed how technically illiterate he is. Build the computer today with a known list of porn sites and it is obsolete tomorrow and certainly when it arrives in the customer hands. Oh and before you tell me this can be done by a subscription to a service, while true, who will pay? The consumer? The business buyer? the gov? Right. Too bad their is not a filter to block out Mitt on all media. It would clean up a huge offense to my ears.

  3. Uh, parents who want a filter on their computer would pay, or ISPs might offer filters as part of the service package? It won’t filter 100% or be undefeatable, but it’s not exactly rocket science.

  4. If Romney is sincere about what he said, then he should also be calling for the outlawing of the Catholic Church, and his own Mormon cult… Hypocrite!

Debt Collectors Take Places Alongside Hospital Staffs

Hospital patients waiting in an emergency room or convalescing after surgery are being confronted by an unexpected visitor: a debt collector at bedside.

Another reason not to switch to Single Payer health care: all those poor debt collectors will be out of a job!

Social networking giant Facebook has reported its first quarter-to-quarter revenue slide in at least two years, in a sign that its sizzling growth may be cooling just a few weeks ahead of its expected Initial Public Offering (IPO) in May.

Is anyone else surprised…that they couldn’t delay this message?

U.S. Housing Permits – A Historical Viewpoint

Posted on April 25th, 2012 at 0:17 by Sueyourdeveloper in category: News

Over the past weeks and months, we’ve been subjected to conflicting data regarding the state of the housing market in the United States with some data releases showing an improvement in housing and other data showing that we are not at the bottom.  The folks at the St. Louis Federal Reserve have some interesting data that gives us some perspective on how the housing market looks compared to its past history as measured by the number of authorized new private housing units building permits or PERMITin FRED lingo.
Here is a graph showing the number of building permits (in thousands) over the past three years:
But, wait a minute.  Let’s look back a bit further in time to see how the current monthly new housing permit data looks compared to what it looked like over the past decade:
Now, let’s look at all of the data that FRED has for PERMIT going back two generations to January 1960 when most baby boomers were still wearing either diapers or short pants:
On this measure recent housing starts in the US are the worst in a half century.

  1. There’s an oversupply of housing in most places in the US, so it’s no surprise that there’re few housing starts. This is a natural result of overbuilding (not to mention the general economic bust).

    It’d also be interesting to see regional housing starts versus population graphs. Places with heavy job losses are seeing people move away (e.g., Las Vegas metro area). Not only is there oversupply of houses for the original population, but there are now fewer people living in the area.

  2. There are more empty houses in the USA than there are homeless people.

  3. And those can be used: (via Make):
