What about 7 of 10 GM vehicles being built outside the US since the restructure of GM? 15 manufacturing plants in China since the resructure? What about Obummer ditching Netanyahu on multiple occasions and sneaking him in and out of the whitehouse in the cover of darkness, and going to Vegas when his presence was requested by Bibi??????
Oh, by the way I have been trying to send this f’ing post for an hour!!!
Obama Bankrupt Green Energy “A-123 Systems” Received $249 MM Stimulus to be Sold to China Co
I wish Romney had brought it up....that would have been very fine.
A 123 Systems was originally a Massachusetts company....Romney would have known about this.
Another *green* stimulus up in smoke.
I was shocked to see Romney let this one go by. The only company Obama has ever “been in charge of,” GM, has shuttered plants here while opening plants in China, cutting jobs here while hiring big time overseas.
Apparently you missed the live thread multiple posting fiasco.
Apparently. But then, I’ve read about this couple of years ago. Then when the tsunami hit Asia and GM had to shut down their production lines because they couldn’t get parts .....
“It was beautiful and moved other posters to tears”
LMAO!!!!!!
Yes, I *purposely* missed it.
That kind of stuff makes me crazy. I can’t handle it. :(
FUBO
i must be in the Twilight Zone...
I wouldn’t mind having a pdp-8, few thousand bucks worth of gold in the boards.
This is why I buy Ford.
What about bond holders that reportedly got screwed?
Ain’t no “reportedly” about it. The UAW got paid before secured creditors. Never happened in bankruptcy law before.
So, please....all of you just CHILL OUT a little!!! We are on the same team, to get Romney elected!!!
I just caught up with the thread and skimmed through. It was actually funny seeing the repeats and comments.
It made me think of an analogy from the SNL skit where Christopher Walken says he needs more cowbell
What this thread needs is more GM talk from Vanman!!
We need someone to redo the Cowbell image with Walken and put Vanman's words on it!
few thousand bucks worth of gold in the boards.
DEC computer way before the Alpha chip... If I remember correctly, it was a discrete component machine with a bunch of cards (with a lot of gold on the contact pads and socket pins..) long before Intel made a 4004 and things started getting smaller. Now then, since you mentioned this relic, does this mean you are, shall we say, mature, or just a couple of youngsters who pulled a name out of a hat ;-)
After all, if you really had access to a PDP-8 when it was in production you are close to 'fossil' age like me. Just sayin ;-)
Well I guess I’m no spring chicken. While in college back in the late 80s, early 90s... I played on a couple of VAX’s. pdp-11 before we got the alpha. Not pretending I was a VMS guru even back then, let alone many years removed from it. It’s amazing how far we’ve come since those days.
The university where I went in the mid 70s had a gaggle of Model 33 Teletypes in the engineering lounge (built like tanks, and sounding like them too) wired into a PDP-8 which ran a version of BASIC. You didn’t even have to authenticate, you just walked up and began a session. You had to type your whole program in and then run it as you sat, no storage, no media readers. Eventually they took the Model 33s away when someone spilled coffee into one of them.
Mine ran FORTRAN and it was really frustrating to me because I could not type worth a damn. I'd spend an hour typing a program in and then compile it only to get an error message that was always cryptic as hell. Then I'd have to sit there for another hour reading those fan fold pages to figure out where I made a typo.
I knew how the program, but I just couldn't convince the damn computer to run it. ;~))
Punch cards, which were available in the main computer facility housed in the mathematics building, seemed such a godsend. You could pull the bad card out of the stack and throw it away, putting a good card in its place.
