8/29 I'm a Googler. I'm also one of the most senior Googlers and I
barely joined in 2005. A bunch of old timers, esp. those before
2003 dumped their options a while ago. One guy I know became a real
estate developer. Another started his own coffee shop. Another guy
is traveling around the world. There were also quite a few who went
in stealth mode trying to start their own companies. Ya know, when
a bunch of old farts realized they could pursue their lifelong dreams
without financial worries, they simply dumped their stocks and did
what anyone else would do. Pursuing their dreams. Most of them loved
pre 2004 Google but wanted to pursue their dreams even more. I presume
this is common everywhere else even Microsoft in the heydays. People
may call the liquidation of stocks "insider trading." I think it's
normal in a successful company that has become too successful. Ya
know, I joined late and I'm not a millionaire, but if I were in
their shoes, I'd do the exact same thing. I'd love to open up my own
coffee shop. I hate tech. Fuck tech. Bye for now.
\_ Coffee shops are not capital intensive enterprises. You probably can
own one if you want to. Joe Blow employee is not usually an insider,
by the way. We're talking about officers, directors, board
members, and so on.
\_ But living well on the income from a coffee shop is hard. It
is nice to be able to do somthing you want to do and not have
to worry about making money. |

8/29 http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/28/republicans.react.to.obama Obama to raise tax for people making $42K? That is screwed up. \_ No, not really. McCain is lying again. That is screwed up: http://www.newsweek.com/id/151621/page/2 \_ It's not a lie. Even your own article says it is true. |

8/29 Does Firefox 3 really use less memory than Firefox 2? I run 2.0.0.16
and 3.0.1 side-by-side in two XP VMs, and here are the VM Size numbers
(in MB) I see in Task Manager:
2.0.0.16 3.0.1
- Startup. 15 25
- Go to http://www.yahoo.com 18 27
- Open 6 news articles in 45 51
6 new tabs.
- Close the 6 tabs above. 35 49
It looks like Firefox 3 uses more memory than Firefox 2.
\_ Now reopen those 6 tabs and close them again.
\_ So what's the result? |

8/29 McCain only met with Palin once.
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/08/the_daily_bricabrac_sarah.php#more
The facts on Palin are going to be gold for the Dems:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12987.html
\_ "Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9000 with
zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the
presidency," (Obama) I'm not sure what to make of experience
criticism from Obama. He has about the same amount of experience,
and he wants to BE the president.
\_ Hmmm, which other major candidate has been making the
'experience' argument?
\_ It's not that it isn't a valid criticism in general, just
that it's more dangerous to Obama than Palin. Those in glass
houses and all that.
\_ The above quote was from an Obama campaign spokesman,
and their second statement was much milder. I suspect
they'll just ignore her and continue to go after
McCain. Meanwhile, this neutralizes McCain's one
solid attack, which was the experience argument.
Basically this was a really dumb, cynical move
to try to suck up Hillary voters and I'm surprised
conservatives think it was a good pick. Though
I guess "conservative" basically means "Republican
hack" now for the most part.
\_ Oh, I must have misread the attribution. My bad.
Anyway, I'm not really sure it neutralizes the
experience argument, since Palin isn't running for prez,
although it may sort of strengthen the "Mcain is old"
argument. She's not who I would have picked, and I hate
picking a woman just to have a woman type thinking. I
would hope no one actually votes that way, but it's
pretty obvious many people do. It does bloster his
ticket with the Bible belt the way say, Romney, would
not have. I really hope this means Mcain can quit
trying to pretend to be a far righty.
\_ Palin is a trivial figure, and someone comparing her
to Obama says far more about themselves than they do
about Obama.
\_ I guess you'll have to explain what you mean, because
I don't get it. What makes an Alaskan Gov. more
trivial than an Illinois senator?
\_ She seems to be a lightweight and Obama is not. How
many books has she written? She was Miss Congeniality
for God's sake and went to the University of Idaho.
We will know more after her debates with Biden. If
she does well in them, my opinion of her will go up.
\_ And Arnold Schwarzenegger is governor of the most
populous state in the union. People don't care
about book-writing academics. Why don't we have
presidents who have Ph.Ds in political science and
economics?
\_ so what does it say?
\_ http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/08/29/an-astonishingly-arrogant-v-p-selection.aspx
\_ Comments are pretty good.
\_ But Palin is 3,990,722 times hotter than Biden. We live in an era
of TV fluff politics. Palin is a great choice. Who else should he
have picked? One of the standard geezers wouldn't be interesting at
all. More than anything the VP is a figurehead role. And Palin
checks the conservative boxes.
\_ It's really amusing how the GOP has become the affirmative
action party.
\- Consider also how the VP hopefulls feel to be snubbed for
McCain's Folly, the Alaskan Cipher. Either it's obnoxious and
insulting, or McCain couldnt stand anybody, or nobody wanted to
go down with the S.S. McCain. |

8/29 so your gf gets raped. You get to raise the kid, according to Palin.
No abortions for you.
\_ You've got to be shitting me right? Oh well Palin will attract
former Hillary supporters and the religious belt. Biden
attracts... ??? Brilliant choice. The Karl Rove legacy lives on.
\_ Link?
\_ Yes, if there was only some way to let someone else raise the child.
Some way to let another family "adopt" it... "adoption" if you will.
\_ Yep, I hear there's a serious shortage of babies put up for
adoption.
\_ Of caucasian babies there is.
