Jim, just one question: do you have insurances?

Not sure of WHY you are asking... but yes.

An insurance is the same thing: you work for the money you pay to the
insurance company. If someone else slips up, he (or she) gets away
with the money you worked for. Distribution of wealth (communism) is
stupid, but having some (government regulated) insurance that keeps
people on their feet is not.


So you're saying knocking 1.0 off the studious girl's grade-point
average and giving it to the partying girl is insurance?, that it
keeps the party-girl on her feet?
Click to expand...
Nope. Goverment should prevent party girl to go to a party and
threaten her to take away her other points as well. Thats how
unemployed people are treated over here. But if people really can't
work they'll receive money to keep them of the street.

Insurance companies ARE regulated in the US and are required to have
reserves sufficient to meet claims, otherwise they're taken over by
either state or federal regulators.

This recent fiasco is due to Clinton approving the removal of
restraints on investment banks, who then got into mortgage
_instruments_.

Clinton's fault? Boy there's a republican speaking. Republicans never want
to take any repsonsibility for the mess they create. What bastards. BTW do
you know who Phil Gramm is? Who are the biggest deregulators in congress?
Who championed degregulation? Which presidential candidate said, "I'm for
more deregulation"?

Don't answer. Your answers are nonsequiturs. Why don't you have your

Ultimately, political correctness caused it. Clinton's overzealous
attempt to bring loans to minorities--qualified or not, by way of the
changes he made under the Community Reinvestment Act--demanded that
banks adopt unsound lending practices to meet their statutory lending
quotas. That planted the seed.

Or should we say ACORN?

No, that would be taking some of their money and

I don't see that rich people actually have the money. Its a closed system.
If someone has say, notionally, $1B in the bank, well.. they don't, it has
been already lent out to other people that don't have the money themselves.
Wealth is sort of an illusion. If all the people that thought they had
money, tried to get it, it wouldn't be there. In reality, their money is
already being used by someone else.

Look at the disparity of the CEOs salaries
compared to the common workers wages. They

Who built the houses: Who cleans them? So a few people have a few extra

For wealth to mean anything, it must be spent, in doing so, the person who
the money is spent on gains the benefit of that wealth.

If a rich dude pays $400 for an oxygen free power cord, where does that
money go? What does the person that receives the $400 do with it? Or the
person that he in turn gives in purchase of something else. Waste would be
paying someone to dig a hole, then fill it in again. Other than that, it all
comes out in the wash. Some particular person might be getting ripped off in
paying $400 for a Ł2 power cord, but the final result don't change for the
wealth of the population. No work credits (money) are actully lost.

Do they
really need that much extra money? Surely, they
are already extremely comfortable.

If a rich dude with $1B gave it all away to say, each American, then they
would get $4 each. Like so what.. What could those millions do with the $4?
The dude with the notional full amount could at least, in principle, build a

Who do MOSFET sound better than bipolar, as an audio amp output
driver?
Click to expand...
A lot of bits have been spilled on this thread so far, but I think it is the
same question as "Why do tubes sound better than transistors?" or "How many
angels can dance on the head of a pin?"

First of all, it implies a truth that may not objectively be the case. But
tubes, BJTs and MOSFETs all have very different characteristics and
engineering trade-offs. I think it has been reasonably well established that
it is possible to make excellent sounding amplifiers with any of those
technologies.

In the end, I think it boils down to the experience and skill of the
engineer in working with a given technology, and how that impacts the
economics of producing the end product using said technology.

For example, I think we no longer use vacuum tubes for mainstream audio
power amplifiers because they:

1. Require an additional power supply and heat to operate.
2. Are bulky compared to their solid-state alternatives.
3. Are not available in complimentary pairs (e.g., P-channel/N-channel)
4. Have output impedance that usually requires an output transformer.

None of these are insurmountable obstacles, but they do increase the size,
cost, power consumption and heat load for a given output power.

Similar, but less obvious considerations affect the choice of BJTs and
MOSFETs. They have different characteristics, and the skilled engineer will
exploit them for optimal effect -- sonic quality, economy, reliability and
so on. The marketing department will define the requirements for the product
based on the target market, and the engineer will attempt to design a
product that fits within those constraints. In all that I have read here, I
have not seen anything that would consistently make me select MOSFETs over
BJTs. But I might have a preference based on a *given set* of product
requirements.

It's not that 600MHz of bandwidth is directly required, but rather that all
of the musical harmonics in the 20KHz to 600MHz band be passed through
linearly and not (inter)modulated down into the audible band.

I guarantee that any self-respecting audiophile will be able to hear the
difference -- as long as you warn him or her ahead of time.

Yep. I'll second that.

My laptop with SP2 has never been updated and it runs flawlessly.

My SP2 desktop had updates enabled and it became more unstable as time went
on. Eventually, it wouldn't run more than a couple of hours without some
serious type of error occuring. I reloaded its original XP-SP2, updates are
now OFF, and it runs perfectly. The only thing that I update is IE to kill
any security issues.
