ps whats with the comment rankings? i havnt seen any highest ranks in the full comments sections (and fewer highly ranked's), but the small thread that gets emailed to you when someone replies to you appears as normal. seems there is a threshold difference.]]>Jan 28th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/Jan 28th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/

im not so sure whats going on, because when you get a link in your email that tells you that somebody replied to you, on THAT page you can see the "Highest Ranked", but not on the real post. something's been up for over a month now....]]>Jan 28th 2009 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/

But seriously I been collecting unemployment Since 2007 after being canned, doing temp IT jobs that came along to keep me afloat. The only thing I can praise Bush on was to extend unemployment claims due to the economy. Without that I would be flat broke.

Oh, and I am living with family that is financially fine and yes, I have been actively seeking employment. Covering bases. ]]>Jan 28th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/Jan 28th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/

I have been made redundant due to the financial worldwide crisis and i live in the uk, it truly sucks when everything you worked for gets taken from you, even my own business lost work due to the same crisis and i was pulling my hair out for a good 4 months wondering where every penny was coming from, its just not funny, i actually had to ration my food to such an extent, i think the only way we will get through this is help each other to do so, we cannot rely on the government who in turn to rely on us paying out or to give us handouts, it is very sad to read people are loosing their jobs still. It won't help if we all try and forget and dig your head into the sand, you can't forget inevitability, just help each other and then we will all pull through.

I personally don't like reading about it in the paper or seeing it on the news to such an extent where i no longer switch on the news or read the paper, its just too demoralizing but i use my time to help others who i know have worse situations than I.]]>Jan 28th 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/Jan 28th 2009 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/recession-roundup-volume-eleventeen-zillion/

Those 1 1/2 to 2 inch margins really make great use of the page and the hyphenation really improves readability...not!
You could probably cut the size of that document in half with a few minor changes and get the headings for each section back to the top of a new page.

Can someone explain the meaning of the phrase "not less than $xx shall be used as...." ?
Not less than? Or "no more than" ?

and on another note... I worked at circuit city for about a year before that store was closed. the upper management in that company was paid disgustingly well. The higher up the were, the more i felt that deep down they knew the company was going under and they didnt care. they drained that money of cash and tanked it. On Purpose. For there own benifit. and put all of those people, some who had worked there for 20 years selling tv's and had retirement packages, out of jobs.]]>Jan 29th 2009 4:30PM
