In the business press the american federal deficit is usually discussed. However, I have never seen a good analysis of how balancing the budget will affect the US domestic economy as well as the global economy.

When travelling I could get by on my Spanish, even though it is admittably horrible. But the ...

Until this day I have only run Linux on old outdated hardware, primarily for experimenation or for server use. But today I decided to install it on an old but relatively speedy laptop to test the desktop experience. The laptop has a 2Ghz P4 processor, 512MB of ram and a 32MB ATI card. Installing Ubuntu on older hardware before have been difficult so I was a bit weary of spending my entire day of installing it on my laptop. The overall impression of the installation was very positive. I cou...
