The money was given to a handful of companies and research universities. WWW was invented by Tim Berners Lee at CERN (e.g. Europe). Over 50% of BMW sales are leased by low net-worth posers. A huge percentage of our country is posing and living above its means - now the proverbial chickens have come to roost. This will go for quite a while - laugh at your own peril...

If you’re in the market for a car, can you really afford not to buy a SUV?

I swear, you've got to check this puppy out, burbed talks about moving to New York and then Seattle because it sucks here so much. I think all that boosterism here is too stressful.

That's actually really stupid now that I think about it. Vu claims to be in Real Estate. RealEstater claims to be in tech - and I believe him (believe it or not.)

I still strongly doubt. Vu knows numbers well (probably due to the fact that he is a finance guy) and can put them in context while making his argument. His rebuttals are to-the-point (although I disagree with his point). He does not BS or ask counter questions to avoid or get away from the original point. And don't forget he said "RE only goes up" argument is crap too. And don't forget Vu never claimed he has Porsche. :) if you read those posts a bit more closely (and go down the thread a ways), the idea of it being the same poster is pretty convincing.
