~a[2008-03-19 17:59:48] - a: It's good to know that your new CSS knowledge has enabled you to eschew proper grammar and make the page look (even more) like ass
. - Kaleb[2008-03-19 16:40:31] - it's not even one man's opinion on religion . . . it's not even one man's opinion on how the media is representing his religion . . . it's one man's opinion on how the media is representing some other man's opinion on religion. at least that's the gist i got from the 20-30 seconds i saw on the daily show. ~a
[2008-03-19 16:19:09] - a: When they could memorize a speech about one man's opinion on religion?
-Paul[2008-03-19 15:55:03] - i don't know why school children would memorize a speech about such a trivial subject. ~a
[2008-03-19 15:53:37] - Vinnie: Makes me yearn for the good old days of the Gettysburg address, which you could reasonably expect school children to memorize. I heard it was a pretty good speech, though. -Paul
[2008-03-19 15:51:47] - vinnie: no only like 30 seconds of it. ~a
[2008-03-19 15:51:44] - paul: I can't blame ya. when I was reading it, I wasn't aware of how long it was, but now looking at it, I'm wondering how I read it all
- vinnie[2008-03-19 15:50:50] - a: they aired the whole speech? - vinnie
[2008-03-19 15:50:25] - aaron: hehe I don't think that's the same speech - vinnie
[2008-03-19 15:37:43] - oh i forgot nosign . . . which is pretty weird to read. ~a
[2008-03-19 15:36:53] - xpovos: it's just css so i can't really "teach" css to do anything
other classes: other (used by other threads), black, simple, lc+black+simple. ~a[2008-03-19 15:33:06] - a: That took me way too long to figure out what it did. Interesting. The real trick would be teaching it proper use of capitals and doing a reversal. I think that would probably give it a meltdown. -- Xpovos

~a[2008-03-19 14:37:27] - I pulled the speech off Drudge yesterday. I don't know who wrote it. Obama probably had a hand in some of the most important bits, but this was definitely a quality speech. It's getting major play in the news because it deserves it. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-19 14:36:57] - paul: obama is something new and hence makes for better media. - aba
[2008-03-19 14:36:31] - a: i dunno. don't have much to say usually. - aba
[2008-03-19 14:28:24] - Not to say that it isn't undeserved, but it definitely does seem like the media makes a bigger deal about Obama than Clinton (unless it's something bad). -Paul

[2008-03-19 14:27:41] - a: A big deal has been made about Obama's speech in the "boring" news as far as I can tell. -Paul
[2008-03-19 14:26:51] - Vinnie: Sweet Jesus, that looks long. I read a paragraph or two early on before I got bored and scrolled down. And down. And down.
-Paul[2008-03-19 14:19:13] - vinnie: they aired it on both the daily show and colbert report. they probably aired it on the boring-news also. ~a
[2008-03-19 14:18:37] - vinnie: was it the one where he talked about how some religious guy saw his web site which was trying to polarize people on the issues of religion/abortion and how his response made Obama change the web site's text? - aaron
[2008-03-19 14:17:10] - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/18/obama-race-speech-read-t_n_92077.html link if anyone is interested. actually it looks even longer than I remember it
- vinnie[2008-03-19 14:15:30] - did you all see Obama's recent speech where he talked about his pastor? I thought it was excellent (if a little long) and I'm not usually one for speeches - vinnie
[2008-03-19 13:42:45] - aba: why rarely post? ~a

[2008-03-19 12:50:43] - gurkie: i don't see two of my coworkers. i wonder if they're in dc. ~a
[2008-03-19 12:46:08] - gurkie: it comes and goes. we've gone whole months without posting anything much. ~a

[2008-03-17 20:27:52] - No and no... I was hoping someone else had something good in mind... i'm now actually doing laundry and eating dinner. Sadly I think i'm done for the day... Boooooo . Happy St.Patrick's Day all the same. ~dee
[2008-03-17 18:42:47] - dee: are you planning on doing anything fun tonight? ~a
[2008-03-17 18:42:16] - dee: would you pull me over? ~a
[2008-03-17 18:41:52] - Is anyone doing anything fun tonight? ~Dee
[2008-03-17 18:41:32] - HAHA yeah a topic... a constantly changing topic, but a topic all the same... Yes i'll be a county police officer once i'm done the academy ~Dee
[2008-03-17 14:43:07] - dee: congrats! and we have a topic here? ~gurkie
[2008-03-17 10:58:47] - A quick scan says theat they don't. So now I can get back to wishing we were short.
-- Xpovos[2008-03-17 10:56:05] - 'm actually more concerned about my mutual funds having held shares of Bear. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-17 10:55:44] - Paul: Yeah, but at the same time... I
[2008-03-17 10:40:20] - Xpovos: What I wouldn't give to have been short Bear Sterns.
-Paul[2008-03-16 22:17:07] - J.P. Morgan buys Bear Sterns. After Friday, that's not the surprise. The surprise (to me) was that the sale price is $2 per share. Even at close of business Friday it was still going for mid-high twenties. This time last year it was $150. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-16 15:10:27] - dee, please excuse if this is a dumb question. once you go through the academy, what will your job be? police officer? ~a
[2008-03-15 18:09:07] -
Thanks! The academy is in Chantilly, 28/Willard. It'll be Tues-Fri 0630-1630hrs for the next 6 months... which is absolutely awesome cause I have evenings off and 3 day weekends![2008-03-15 18:00:48] - dee: there is no such thing as "off topic" when you have such a linear conversation. congrats! where is the academy? is it a long drive? do you come home every night or is it like a thing that you go to for a while? ~a
[2008-03-15 17:29:50] - I know it's off topic but I just wanted to tell everyone I got hired for the police department! I start in two weeks... the academy starts two weeks after that! YAY! ~dee
[2008-03-14 16:07:15] - version 6 of internet explorer also does something funny with the body border. it ignores the "margin:..." and it also puts the border on the outside of the scroll bar! ~a
[2008-03-14 16:04:02] - xpovos: better? apparently microsoft's browser doesn't like loading css files from other servers. that seems like a very big problem to me. ~a
[2008-03-14 15:40:52] - moo moo brown cow

[2008-03-14 14:10:37] - Paul: I think I may join you in selling my shares of SIRI at a loss here soon... "SIRIUS Creates 'Client 9 Radio' -- Xpovos
[2008-03-14 13:51:06] - a: From work, aye. Is required. I'll have a look at the source and see if anything jumps out at me, but I doubt it will. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-14 13:35:40] - xpovos: i'm not exactly sure why microsoft's web browser isn't picking up my css file. do you have any idea? ~a
[2008-03-14 13:34:42] - xpovos: oops. you use ie6? ~a

[2008-03-14 10:45:02] - anon: im guessing you could find circumstances where each were worse, however id say cheating. ~gurkie
[2008-03-14 10:04:52] - could = desired
[2008-03-14 07:01:16] - isn't "not being able to cheat if you could" and oxymoron? i don't understand - aaron
[2008-03-13 23:12:14] - which is worse? cheating? or not being able to cheat if you could?
[2008-03-13 23:02:01] - fuck shit damn
[2008-03-13 18:40:55] - jeff w. from high school is a father, for those who might care. - pierce

[2008-03-13 16:10:17] - btw, ddr today? - vinnie
[2008-03-13 16:10:05] - a: no. but neither are we very open-source focused - vinnie
[2008-03-13 15:30:58] - vinnie: is your company closed-source focused? ~a
[2008-03-13 14:22:40] - few years = at least since i was hired in 06 dont know how long really ~gurkie
[2008-03-13 14:22:19] - vinnie: we have been a jboss preferred partner for a few years, so it makes sense. my current project is all cutting edge microsoft... Want a job? we are stilll hiring... ~gurkie
[2008-03-13 14:21:30] - gurkie: interesting. I didn't even realize your company was so open-source focused - vinnie

[2008-03-13 12:29:19] - vinnie: how much $ ? - aaron
[2008-03-13 12:28:50] - paul: i'm going to a recital tomorrow so no smash bros - aaron
[2008-03-13 10:10:37] - kids in the hall are touring again, they'll be in baltimore on May 4th. anyone interested in going? - vinnie
[2008-03-12 19:52:29] - http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=163844&title=shame-parade <-- clip in question. - aba
[2008-03-12 17:43:56] - yep. I usually don't like either of them but that was really well done. - pierce
[2008-03-12 17:33:58] - oh yeah i did see that. it's funny because they're married in real life. (they married years before independently coming on the show) ~a
[2008-03-12 17:31:34] - god, lately I can never remember to sign my posts - pierce
[2008-03-12 17:31:22] - sorry, should've elaborated... samantha bee and jason jones did a sketch parodying the spitzer press conference, and stewart was doubled over laughing

[2008-03-12 15:41:26] - dee: I hope you bought some at the open today, because you would've made a pretty penny. -Paul

[2008-03-12 11:17:14] - http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/03/ferraro_says_co.html Ferraro says comment wasn't racist. -Paul
[2008-03-12 10:14:19] - pierce: during the interview? i didn't watch the interview last night. ~a
[2008-03-12 10:03:00] - aba: Considering that the stocks I sold have gone up another couple of percentage points today, you might be right that I would be better off giving my money to Dave.
-paul[2008-03-12 08:47:22] - pierce: Hmm? What made Jon Stewart lose his cool? He seems to really enjoy putting the irons on folks, so I figured he'd be pretty unflappable. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-12 08:46:54] - Yeah, I'm in a similar boat. Getting close to $40 on predictify. My stocks though have lost over $600 in the past two months. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-12 05:22:07] - man, I love watching Jon Stewart lose his cool. - pierce
[2008-03-11 22:47:57] - make sure you don't forget to pay taxes on your predictify windfall
~a[2008-03-11 21:02:55] - Sad thing is i've made more this year on that stupid predictify website.... than on my stocks... i'm pretty sure +$2.97 is better than -$3000+ hahaha ~dee
[2008-03-11 21:01:21] - Paul: i'm sorry
... maybe I should make your loss my gain... and buy some ;-p ~dee[2008-03-11 16:37:47] - i don't think dave takes money. ~a
[2008-03-11 16:26:48] - paul: yer not doing it right. you need to give all your money to dave. - aba
[2008-03-11 15:53:19] - Xpovos: Still, would be nice to have capital gains rather than tax breaks every year.
-Paul[2008-03-11 15:42:11] - also in merger news, the google doubleclick merger was approved. ~a
[2008-03-11 15:41:30] - who knows, we might all be dead by then. ~a
[2008-03-11 15:41:00] - xpovos: yeah, a tax break in april 2009. ~a
[2008-03-11 15:30:58] - Paul: Yeah, that looks like a T-shirt I'd pull out of my drawer in three years and wonder where the hell it came from. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-11 15:30:21] - Paul: Just repeat after me: tax break. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-11 15:26:57] - Just so everybody knows, the Sirius/XM merger is probably going to get approved tonight because I just sold all my shares at a significant loss.
-Paul[2008-03-11 14:57:48] - gurkie: facetiousness. astrologers are not known for their intelligence. ~a
[2008-03-11 14:48:04] - Gurkie: Nah, I got an email about this new one. I think it's pretty cool, but probably doesn't have staying power. -Paul
[2008-03-11 14:30:40] - paul: buying more shirts? ~gurkie
[2008-03-11 14:29:21] - a: complex? ~gurkie
[2008-03-11 14:29:14] - aba: oops... i combined crap in my head and it all became a blur~gurkie
[2008-03-11 14:21:08] - oh the spitzer thing. ~a
[2008-03-11 14:20:28] - paul: i don't get it. ~a
[2008-03-11 14:08:34] - http://www.bustedtees.com/shirt/client9/male That was quick. -Paul
[2008-03-11 13:58:30] - gurkie: that's numerology. - aba
[2008-03-11 13:56:32] - gurkie: addition? what's with all the complex math? ~a
[2008-03-11 13:48:18] - a: I think its astrology that takes numbers from dates -> the numbers are from 1-12 so say your bday is the 23 u have a 5 in your numbers. They add up month, day, year, plus some stuff on time of birth for your numbers. So it would be linked to the date of the solstice. ~gurkie
[2008-03-11 13:30:49] - Aaron: I think a lot of the jokes rely heavily on having followed the primaries and knowing things like the conservative base doesn't like McCain and that Obama has been doing well with his messages of change and hope. -Paul
[2008-03-11 13:12:58] - Kaleb: yeah I'm planning on going. might be driving up with DJP, or alone, or we might be taking the train (?). plans are a little unfixed at the moment but you're welcome to come along with me. also not sure if we're staying in Baltimore overnight or not... - vinnie
[2008-03-11 12:55:14] - vinnie: okay that was pretty stupid until the very end, then i laughed pretty hard - aaron
[2008-03-11 12:55:10] - gurkie: how does a solstice contain numbers? ~a
[2008-03-11 11:55:02] - pierce: u dumb scientist believing in ur evolution crap... humans were created when mars crossed the path of jupiter during the 11th summer solstice that contained the numbers: 7, 11, 8 ~gurkie

-- Xpovos[2008-03-11 11:14:22] - vinnie: Did Larry talk to you about that recital? If you plan on going and Aaron has nothing else scheduled for that night I'll come with you. Let me know what you decide. - Kaleb
[2008-03-11 10:38:10] - Vinnie: That's pretty good. My coworkers enjoyed it too.
-Paul[2008-03-11 10:17:38] - for those following the primaries AND are fans of pokemon: http://i29.tinypic.com/1zx6ttt.jpg - vinnie
[2008-03-11 05:58:18] - Who believes in astrology?
~dee[2008-03-10 18:01:34] - gurkie: astrology nuts could say the same thing about scientists.
- pierce[2008-03-10 17:57:42] - a: I wonder how compatible the two people would actually be. I guess it would depend on how into astrology the person is, if they believe it heart and soul and talk it and breathe it and ... basically its a huge aspect of them then its probably pointless... ~gurkie
[2008-03-10 16:43:23] - a: well if you can find someone who believes in astrology but either (a) doesn't talk about it much, or (b) can talk about it critically with people of opposing viewpoints, you should be fine. I don't see it as any different in principle from people marrying outside their own religion. - pierce
[2008-03-10 16:42:15] - ...at work, to be clear. - pierce
[2008-03-10 16:42:02] - kaleb: yeah, I used to read fark pretty regularly, but it was waay too hit-and-miss for any particular topic. plus I had to block its image server (as well as its advertisers') so I wouldn't have up a page with multiple "boobies" tags and a banner ad for thong bikinis. - pierce
[2008-03-10 16:19:05] - pierce: Fark is kind of like that, but I stopped visiting regularly a couple years ago; I don't know how it is now. - Kaleb
[2008-03-10 16:01:16] - i have mixed feelings on the issue, but that's mostly because i have trouble talking to anyone about religion in general. ~a
[2008-03-10 15:47:50] - should scientists date people who believe in astrology? ~a
[2008-03-10 15:43:50] - pierce: groklaw? ~a
[2008-03-10 15:36:36] - aaron: O.o I really think there needs to be a legal version of the daily wtf. - pierce
[2008-03-10 15:33:57] - a: I'm not saying it's not a bug. But it's not part of the acid2 test, so MS still gets to claim that IE8b passes acid2. I guess what this boils down to is that I think people are assuming too much of the acidN tests... they don't mean the browser is complete or bug-free, or even close. They're just a sanity check. - pierce

[2008-03-10 13:48:42] - aaron: I read that article before. It's hilarious how dumb the logic is. The article is quite old though. - Kaleb
[2008-03-10 13:46:34] - a: Well at least MS is trying to be better at web standards, even if they may have missed the mark. I'm just going to be using Firefox 3 when that's out of beta anyway. - Kaleb
[2008-03-10 13:35:40] - Does anybody else think that headline is a little misleading? -paul

[2008-03-10 11:31:19] - pierce: from one of the comments: "But if it's failing -- for whatever reason, cross-domain or not -- you should fallback. Hence the current behaviour is still a bug. ... (BTW why would it be a cross-domain problem? This should be exactly the same as an iframe, which can cross domains fine.)" ~a
[2008-03-10 05:01:57] - a: it does render acid2 correctly, as I understand it. It just doesn't render it correctly when it's embedded in domains other than the original (an implementation which is not, itself, part of the test). I actually very much understand MS's reasoning, although I don't consider myself qualified to agree or disagree with it. - pierce
[2008-03-10 00:19:04] - microsoft's explanation as to why ie8 beta doesn't support acid2. so . . . microsoft doesn't render acid2 correctly because they don't like the standard. how fitting. the whole point of the test was to educate regarding the standard. ~a
[2008-03-10 00:11:24] - does this mean that microsoft was lying about ie8? ~a
[2008-03-10 00:04:10] - kaleb: apparently ie8 beta was just released. and it doesn't support acid2. ~a

[2008-03-07 10:29:20] - I should note I felt bad because it's used in the context of an article that tries to argue that Hillary is really unpredictable. while that's up for debate, I think you can make a montage of stupid faces out of anyone in the media - vinnie

[2008-03-06 13:08:59] - a: Competing offers would actually make my decision a lot easier. -Paul
[2008-03-06 13:08:37] - a: The one off 7100 that is near Monument and Fair Lakes Parkway. -Paul
[2008-03-06 12:54:32] - Paul: didnt you first see this place on Sunday???? ~gurkie
[2008-03-06 11:54:14] - do you mind if i encourage people to put down competing offers? ~a
[2008-03-06 11:53:30] - paul: which lake? ~a
[2008-03-06 10:24:39] - Shit, I mis-spelled my own name? -- Xpovos
[2008-03-06 10:24:28] - Paul: No, I can see and understand that. And I think that's a good thing. "Falling in love" with a place is a sure way to over-pay. -- Xpoovs
[2008-03-06 09:47:15] - Xpovos: Definitely good advice, and I don't mean to imply that I am dismissing it, but I'm not sure I will find anyplace that I am absolutely in "love" with. -Paul
[2008-03-06 09:18:28] - Paul: Take my advice as biased, as it is, but based on our conversation Saturday, you like the place but are not in 'love' with it. Don't stretch. Stay firm on your price, if someone else snatches it, there'll be other places on the market (that you may like better). In this market you lose nothing by making a seller sweat. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-06 08:30:46] - If I counter offer much higher, the monthly payments on this are going to be huge. Anybody interested in renting a room from me?
-Paul[2008-03-06 08:09:24] - Xpovos: I believe so, the one that is by the lake (probably the first we discussed). Thanks. -Paul
[2008-03-06 08:08:46] - apierce: Thanks, but I wouldn't get too excited, they already turned down my offer and countered with a price that is above what I am qualified for.
-Paul[2008-03-06 08:08:37] - Paul: One of the ones we discussed on Saturday? Good luck! -- Xpovos

[2008-03-05 21:02:19] - and by "ie8 beta" i really mean "ie8 alpha" ~a
[2008-03-05 21:00:25] - kaleb: ie7 acid2 no, acid3 5. ff2 acid2 no, acid3 50. ie8 beta acid2 yes, acid3 unknown. ff3 beta acid2 yes, acid3 59. ~a

[2008-03-05 20:38:56] - a: A pretty bold bug report. - Kaleb
[2008-03-05 20:23:25] - a: Firefox still doesn't even pass acid2; same for acid3. I wonder how IE8 will do on acid3. - Kaleb
[2008-03-05 17:25:33] - kaleb: how timely! acid3 was just released. ~a
[2008-03-05 17:10:02] - Xpovos: I would be had I not just put a bid on a townhouse.
-Paul[2008-03-05 16:28:36] - Anyone else looking with interest at the upcoming VISA IPO? -- Xpovos
[2008-03-05 15:46:48] - aaron: I don't know what you're talking about either. I'll need to see those pics. <_< - Kaleb
[2008-03-05 12:13:49] - gurkie: well i don't feel comfortable searching for it at work but i may have some pictures to show you when i get home - aaron
[2008-03-04 18:17:35] - grrr. ...want to talk about making laws based on their religion for its own sake, that's the point at which I have a problem. - pierce
[2008-03-04 18:16:54] - "If Mike Huckabee had said something like this on the campaign trail you’d be locking and loading..." man, talk about begging the question. I would have no such response. If they are Christian and want to talk about being Christian, great! If they want to talk about making laws
[2008-03-04 17:25:11] - a: This makes it look promising though. - Kaleb
[2008-03-04 17:24:16] - Xpovos: Inconceivable! -Kaleb
[2008-03-04 17:03:58] - xpovos: don't get your hopes up. i have a feeling this is all just marketing. i'm glad that they are planning on making standards compliance a priority, but ie never does a very good job following standards (even in standards mode) and let's not forget that this is the same team that's pushing silverlight. ~a
[2008-03-04 17:03:53] - aaron: WHAT????? I have no recollection/knowledge of what you are talking about ~gurkie
[2008-03-04 16:04:59] - gurkie: or, it could just be another penis-in-the-fruit-cup incident... - aaron
[2008-03-04 16:02:16] - Woo! -- Xpovos
[2008-03-04 15:49:25] - Kaleb: I heard he was Muslim.
-Paul[2008-03-04 15:07:55] - Paul: That article is fluff. We already know Obama is a Christian man. Nowhere in there does it say anything about his religion influencing his policies, which is the case for Huckabee. - Kaleb
[2008-03-04 14:09:32] - aaron: why are you glad they didnt connect them to missing people? That seems like it makes it worse to me. Some people are out there and have had their feet cut off and they dont even know the person is missing... Sad. ~gurkie
[2008-03-04 11:23:35] - http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/georgetown/2008/03/huckobama.html Huckabee or Obama? -Paul

[2008-03-03 15:51:17] - Severed feet found in Canada. Police stumped. -- Xpovos
[2008-03-03 15:48:23] - aaron: wow that kinda makes me sad... I mean it will affect the drug perception and... I mean hello they packaged it with a mirror and a credit card. That is crappy. ~gurkie
[2008-03-03 13:26:03] - aaron: haha you know people are gonna start snorting that stuff - vinnie
[2008-03-03 13:26:01] - aaron: the article really doesn't say: i assume the packaging specifically warns against ingesting this product through the nose? ~a

[2008-02-29 17:57:36] - paul: but who should the government put in jail? ~a
[2008-02-29 17:32:59] - a: I was actually hoping that the trees would get cut down and then fall on the solar panels. And then a massive earthquake severs California from the US. -paul
[2008-02-29 16:33:23] - he's more than everything anti-government intrusion, so i'm guessing he's for the redwoods in this specific case. ~a
[2008-02-29 16:32:42] - paul is anti-trees, anti-solar panels, and anti-california so i'm not sure where he falls on this one. ~a

[2008-02-28 09:13:43] - did you know . . . that pierce is a smug, anonymous, uncited claim?
[2008-02-28 03:51:30] - did you know . . . that smug, anonymous, uncited claims aren't really an effective argumentative technique? - pierce
[2008-02-27 21:23:44] - when's meg's bday? ~a
[2008-02-27 13:51:55] - did you know " . . . that many countries which signed the Kyoto Protocol actually increased the greenhouse gas emissions, contrary to the treaty?"
[2008-02-27 11:51:05] - i agree that daylight savings is dumb. ~a
[2008-02-27 11:24:00] - xpovos: it would have a horizontal asymptote. ~a
[2008-02-27 11:21:30] - Here's something we can all agree on: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120406767043794825.html -- Xpovos
[2008-02-27 09:42:42] - Agreed, but it would curve towards a vertical (down) asymptote, not towards a horizontal one. -- Xpovos
[2008-02-27 09:35:39] - Xpovos: He's saying that if inflation stayed constant at 4%, then the graph of minimum wage in 2007 dollars after an increase would not be a straight line, it would be a curve. -Paul
[2008-02-27 08:36:42] - Paul: Can you explain for me, then. 'cause I don't see what a is saying at all. -- Xpovos
[2008-02-26 17:01:35] - a: Ah, ok, I think I understand what you are saying now. I was a little confused about what you meant by constant inflation. -Paul
[2008-02-26 16:48:55] - if anything, all of this takes credence away from the idea that minimum wage inflation is correlated with inflation. in the few cases where the line is linear, that's a correlation between minimum wage inflation and an inflation drop. in the rare cases where the line's curving down, that's an even crazier correlation between minimum wage inflation and an inflation drop. ~a
[2008-02-26 16:40:38] - errr . . . going down curvily CAN BE constant inflation. i.e. constant inflation will have a curvy line. ~a
[2008-02-26 16:37:56] - paul: you missed my point. going down curvily is normal. going down curvily is constant inflation. ~a
[2008-02-26 16:24:17] - Of course, the last time I tried to speak for Andrew, I failed miserably. So perhaps you should ignore that. -Paul
[2008-02-26 16:22:34] - a: I think Andrew's point is that after the spike, it doesn't usually go down linearly, it goes down curvily.
-Paul[2008-02-26 16:18:33] - xpovos: so i don't think it gives any credence to the idea that wage inflation is inflation. ~a
[2008-02-26 16:18:10] - xpovos: no, i think you're misreading the data: if inflation is constant, the line will not be linear. if inflation is constant, the line will follow a curve. this data would be a lot easier to read on a logarithmic graph. you wouldn't notice those deceptively peculiar jumps when the adjusted minimum wage is high. ~a
