Despite their very clumsy efforts at seeking aid, I think it's in our best interests to help the US automakers. More competition in that industry is better for consumers.

Yeah, this is a good thing to have in your office. No matter how fun it looks and how bad I you want to play. Advertised as "especially delightful during work hours". I don't think so.

Quote from said blog: "Back in the days of dial-up modems, when broadband was still kind of dreamy - we had these things called "utilities". Windows was just an operating system, and there were all kinds of things that it "didn't do" yet...like unzip files, manage themes, burn cd's, and countless other things."
