Ban Fur? Then Why Not Leather? - Room for Debate
Is there a meaningful distinction, or are these battles justThis fight is not one I want.My objective is to please you.Outright bans are silly in most cases.Species Protection is important.Habitat protection also is important.Whole ecosystems need protection.We must share the planet. -
No Moral Distinction Between Furs and Leathers - Room for Debate
We eat animals because they taste good. And if that’s O.K., what’s wrong with wearing fur?We do not in general eat the fur bearing animals.There is a pretty good distinction.Moral is questionable. -
Wearing Furs? 'Who' Are You Wearing? - Room for Debate
Banning the sale of fur is a move in the right direction. We must work to ban the sales of leather and hides, too.Bull.Fur is questionable. We do not eat the animals.Leathers much less so unless you wish to ban all meat. -

Young People Will Pay, but Are Choosy - Room for Debate
People 25 to 34 are the most willing to buy online media like movies and games. Second to them are 18-to-24-year-olds.They really have little choice in getting fashionable music and other entertainments. -

American Compacts Gain Ground as High Gas Prices Change Tastes
“hallelujah:American Compacts Gain Ground as High Gas Prices Change Tastes - http://nyti.ms/mtkluw”A piece of very bad analysis.The American public is much more rational than the Detroit executives.The engineers and designers know how but sales hated small.There is a story that the designer of the Fiesta was fired for proposing it.

A First Look at Amazon SimpleDB
I’m an architecture nerd.This is not something I have a great deal of interest in at this point.It is a small and simple database. A computer sortable file system.I am not clear on why this one exists.It is written in Ruby, a language that is Linux native.As such it is open source free software.
"But now I’m pleased to share it with the world as the first of public Ruby projects being released as part of our continuing open-source initiatives. The following links are all you need to get started:- To install,
gem install amazon_sdb - Documentation: http://nytimes.rubyforge.org/amazon_sdb
- Source Code repository: http://code.nytimes.com/svn/ruby/gems/amazon_sdb
Read the documentation and enjoy.The documentation is http so any machine can present it. - To install,

A Reservist in a New War, Against Foreclosure
test comment. pls ignoreNot a war, just a battle.Foreclosure is the only tool the banks have to clear a bad loan.They must take the properties. They must then try to resell them.This case may well be a concatenation of errors. The banks have been very careless both in issuing loans and in foreclosing them.I am glad I am not responsible for the resolution of this one.It reads as though the proper defendant is the D.O.D. The Bank is also responsible and will take the possible hit.

Have Consumers Become More Willing to Pay for Content? - Room for Debate
Have consumers changed their expectations about what media will be free or cheap, as the Napster era has yielded to iTunes?I think not. Most of us noticed that some very deep pockets were making life impossible for users of shared file services. I will get files from streams or from the library. I have not the attention to do it these days. Podcasts are another place. Sharing seems to be what offends. -
