<0> church, the only way to compare salary is to compare cost of living.
<0> My job in another country would net me a totaly different pay based on needs and cost of living.
<0> and currency excange.
<1> mouring: well .. even from that point of view that ratio is way worse here :/
<2> cost of living is a very big deal
<2> I'm at a job at pays around 70k a year and I live better here than when I made 120k living in california
<0> I see 60% of my pay check after taxes and an attempt at 401k.. of that to keep from being thrown out on my *** and all my ***ets taken I spend 80% just surviving.
<3> <15> 10% of the population control 90% of the money and i think they want to keep it that way
<0> and this is Minnesota.. and not higher rent/own places like Calif.
<3> Unless you're giving your moeny to the poor, YOU are the conspiracy.
<3> cost of living plays no factor
<0> I find that to be a bull**** concept.
<0> If I have $10 in Downtown MPLS I can have 1 and 1/2 meals of some pretty ****ty fast food due to taxes and prices (due to rent, etc).
<0> In Eagan.. $10 will buy me 2 meals.
<0> PLEASE tell me that Cost of Living makes no difference again.
<0> and that $10 in Eagan are TWO decent meals and not "Big Mac" crap.
<4> who you just Give money to the poor?
<4> if you do that they'll always be poor
<0> In places where COST OF LIVING is *VERY LOW* you don't need as much money to be in the "middle cl***".. Compared to places where it is high.
<0> There is NOTHING that will dislodge this idea.
<4> I think something is wrong with your shift key
<4> where the cost of living is very low, there generally is little to no middle cl***
<0> Middle cl*** is defined as a group of people with enough money to survive and can put back more into the econ due to their ability to buy more and take vacations.
<3> It doesn't matter what cl*** you're in as far as being in the top 10% of the world
<0> But that doesn't mean a low cost of living area doesn't have starving children.
<5> the middle cl*** only exists to scare the **** of the uppercl*** from becoming middle cl***
<3> If you're in here, you're in the upper cl***, from a global perspective
<3> doesn't matter if you're "low cl*** American" even really, you're still most likely top 10% of the global population when it comes to wealth
<0> I would agree with top 25%.. but no 10%
<3> whether you choose to eat steak or McDonalds with your income holds no relevance
<0> There are a lot of people I know with a hell of a lot more money than I am global.
<0> I doubt I hit the top 10% in a global sense.
<0> unless you are using a bell curve.
<3> I'll take a random guess.. if you make +$20k usd you're in the top 10%
<3> probably even 10k
<3> the majority (90%) of the world is really poor.. not American poor.
<0> Yes.. America is soo rich.. Look at all the POOR germans driving BMW....
<3> heck, I haven't worked in a year and I'm in the top 10% of the worlds wealthy
<0> I'm sorry but your scope seems too nair.
<0> ermm.. narrow.
<0> Japan itself could take up the top 10% almost by itself.
<3> the majority of the worlds populace lives in poor countries
<3> not the few rich countries
<0> ***uming you live in US, Canada, Denmark, Norway, UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, France and Japan.. You are in the top 12% of the world's weath. ***uming every other country is soo poor that they **** on the sidewalks since they have no where else to go.
<0> And I know I'm missing countries that have a decent amount of wealth under their belts.
<0> And I know for a fact the Internet has reached to more countries than those as well.
<0> (As proof of our Greek friend, dmi)
<6> holy bans batman
<7> eucalre please deban really
<7> yet i speak you see ?
<6> yes i'm surprised to see you speak in the channel
<6> for a long time i thought you were just a bot
<7> lol ok ;)
<7> then you see that i'm not a bot :)
<7> a real human :D
<8> Anyone in here know LYTR?
<9> yes
<9> I know him
<8> Do you know how to get ahold of him?
<10> is there any way to watch olympic coverage on the web?
<3> yes, there are a few ways.
<3> an obvious one is to stream it from somewhere ;)
<0> how many legal ways? =-)
<10> yash
<10> i want to see the hockey game :I
<0> yashy you have a PVR card.. Why don't you stream it for kneer0x. =)
<3> I was just thinking about that
<3> I've not tried streaming it yet
<3> maybe tonight
<10> canada vs germany
<10> so .. not really hard to figure out who'se going to win
<10> but still :)
<0> Germany of course.
<0> Not as if Canada has any good hockey teams.. Weren't they rated below South Africa in terms of fundamentals?
<0> =-)
<10> (" ) ( ") (" )
<0> looks more like a triple breasted whore of some backwater species.
<10> germany might win
<10> lytr: pixil was looking for you
<10> anyways, .de might win, if they remove the puck and put in a soccer ball.
<9> kneer0x: thanks
<8> Found him. Thanks. :-)
<11> evening, and stuff
<12> "Marijuana is now Washington state's No. 8 leading agricultural product. In other news, Cheetos and Ho-Hos remain the state's leading imports"
<0> Wonder if they mean "hemp" and no "Marijuana"
<0> /no/not/
<13> no, they mean "marijuana"
<14> does bayes have to learn from the original mail, or can it be forwarded spam?
<0> I wounldn't trust teaching a forward of a spam.
<0> http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1923151,00.asp Some crackpot Dvorak idea about Apple adopting Windows as their platform. Why would Apple port their OS, port their apps, then turn around and PORT them again to windows if they were migrating to Windows?
<15> that's just some windows nut spouting, don't pay attention to him/it
<12> apple IS macosx
<14> osx is a great operating system
<14> really enjoy using it
<13> it's unix with apps!
<0> The suggestion is they would somehow port the Mac UI ontop of Windows and sell a version of windows... As if gates would allow that.
<15> it's bad with a usable gui
<15> bsd
<0> Instead if that was going to happen it would be more like you buy Windows for $300.. Then you'd buy this Mac UI thingie for $100.. and you'd lose all support from Microsoft.
<16> Dale Begg-Smith, a freestyle skier and Internet innovator, won the gold in moguls skiing at the Winter Games in Turin, Italy. It wasn't his first contact with signs of wealth.
<16> Begg-Smith, a 21-year-old native of Vancouver, British Columbia, who now lives primarily in Melbourne, is the founder of a Web pop-up ad company and worth $40 million, according to estimates by the Herald Sun and other Australian newspapers. The official Web site of the Olympics said he drives a $300,000 Lamborghini.
<16> Begg-Smith refused to discuss details of the company at his post-race news conference yesterday. He said stories of his fortune were exaggerated.
<16> hmm, misfire, but interesting anyway
<17> not news here :P
<0> and no one as tried to kill him for being a pop-up ad king?!
<0> amazing.. Is the security at the winter games that great?
<17> he still lives in vancouver, and I doubt he's very popular at whistler :P
<16> hah
<17> ironically the complaints he had with the canadian olympic committee were addressed shortly after he left
<18> Heh, automatic ice-cream making machine running linux, cute.
<9>
<0> mil, making icecream is easy. And the best icecream is chilled quickly and moved around a lot. So unless that Linux box can make me icecream in under 20 seconds.. it isn't worth it.=-)
<17> if you chill it fast enough, you don't even have to agitate it
<17> large crystals don't have time to grow
<0> I was watching Ham on the Street were they used Liquid Nitrogen poured over the cream while he stired and they had icecream pretty quick. =-) It just makes me want to get me hands on some..
