Battlestar Galactica

That was the most lame series finale ever.

Bailouts

Does anyone else feel like maybe the AIG bonus payout is a setup to encourage socialism? I can't help but wonder if the politicians expected such behavior and poised themselves for a coming, "See! Private companies can't operate on their own. We need to take control so that they don't give bonus money out."

Thought for today

President Obama has said (multiple times) that there is no time to waste in passing the economic stimulus package. That is paraphrasing, but I seem to recall something along the line of, "if we don't pass this now, we will go into an unrecoverable recession."

If that is truly what he believes then why did he wait to sign the package until today? Shouldn't it have been signed over the weekend just a few minutes after it was ready?

Windows 7

I’ve been using Windows 7 exclusively for the last couple of days. So far my favorite feature is that I can “dock” a window to the edge of the screen. For instance, you can double-click the top edge of a window (where you would normally grab a hold and drag the window out to make it taller) and it will “dock” to the exact height of the screen. This makes it super easy to maximize desktop space and get a couple of windows side-by-side. When you drag the window it stays “docked”. Pretty cool.
