The AT World of Warcraft Thread (Where do you play) and general BS

Anyone else play on Tichondrius as Alliance? I used to play on Dethecus until a few months ago when all my friends and my brother transferred to Tich for pvp. Once upon a time I raided alot in the guild Relentless, playing with Sickn, Ecilium and a bunch of the Team Pandemic guys (they...

This thread is now about semantics

Opportunity costs! Don't any of you remember your intro micro?! Shameful! :P Anyway, you can't really say it was free, since you chose to forgo alternative uses of your time in selling and buying consoles to pay for the one you kept. You could figure out if you ended up making an economic...

Display to be used as a TV and monitor - advice?

I recently sold my 2001fp and I want to get rid of my old 27" tv (which is huge) and get an lcd tv. The Gateway XHD3000XHD3000 looks pretty amazing, but at $1,700 is a bit pricey for me. I can find a whole lot of displays in the 24" - 27" range that Im sure would be great monitors, but...

Orange Box First Impressions!

Wow ep2 is tremendous. 6 hours of some of the best gaming I've ever experienced. Just played bioshock last week and while that was fun, ep2 was just worlds apart for me. I'd have paid the $45 for ep2 alone.

Something is seriously wrong with Economists

While this isnt really a response to my rebuttal, Ill address it :P Yes, there is a problem with the disconnect between academia and its application in policy and everyday life. However, despite this, the theory and "high level" of discussion are still very relevant. And I beg to differ...

I disagree. Your conception of an economist is falsely narrow. Production control, quality control, corporate governance and geopolitics are all addressed by economists. There are many theories describing all of those topics. The "economists" you see on fox and CNN that rattle on about the...

Something is seriously wrong with Economists

In response to your first point: I don't understand what you mean by cheating. But either way, what do you suggest policy should be toward "corrupt" political regimes? Isolate them? It hasn't seemed to work in the past. Also, it seems you assume that trade flows from a rich, "non-corrupt"...

Something is seriously wrong with Economists

Don't be sensationalist. Because there are problems and health hazards doesn't mean it's a broken system. Look at the Clear Air Act, the Clean Water act and the EPA. They may not do as much as you personally may like, but they do a tremendous amount nonetheless. There is a reason aerosol cans...

If you so choose. It also gives you the choice to buy something else entirely. And in all seriousness, there are not a whole lot of problems with this (regulatory commissions do a decent job).

I should also point out that by no means is the mainstream media the proper source for economic theory and thought. By the time they've watered it down and dummied it up for the public it's entirely meaningless and the conclusions they draw from it even less so.

Most of the "flaws" you point out (especially irrational behavior) are adequately addressed by modern economic theory. Behavioral economics, including Equality of Incompetence theories, incomplete contracts, etc etc, are all aimed to address the "fallacy of the superrational." However, much...

Power config reg entry question - Vista

So, in XP you can configure the sleep button action to shutdown, but in Vista you cannot. They removed the option from the drop down list. It's kind of a pain because now the "power" button on my MCE remote wont shut it down...

Why is History so unkind to Conservatives? Kind to Liberals?

Mmmm, I suppose was a bit of an overdrawn statement. I guess I wouldn't say that it was organized religion that inspired, but rather spirituality.
