Suprised and disappointed
Friday, February 13, 2009 by garsgolfer | Discussion: Skinning
I was a paying member of Stardock (Object Desktop) for many years, but recently decided not to renew my membership because it's value dwindled providing next to nothing. I can almost appreciate someone wanting to be paid for the windowblind if it's a completed high quality product; but to see Stardock charging for Stardock windowblinds in this economic climate is disappointing. I guess Stardock is applying that old adage, you get want you pay for some those they provided free were never really finished professionally.
Stardock and Wincustomize products should never be construed as fixed annual expenses to users, but that's appears to be the hope of Stardock, and a other similar vendors online. Sadly, there's a segment of society that's grown up thinking 19.95 for this subscription, 39.95 for that one is a way of life. Well, its that mentality that suddenly realizes there's nothing in the bank to pay your fixed bills with.

Why, he\they felt no need to qualify the 800 BILLION dollars in debt he just passed on to my kids.
Bush didn't bother to qualify the 800 billion dollars he passed on to your kids with the war on terror -- those numbers are just too abstract, and as we discussed in another thread, since there is no gold standard, and the fed just prints more money, and most people don't deal with the paper money, just transferring of numbers from one banking institution's computer to the other, what really do these numbers mean in terms of actual life and the future of the children?
Some days I wish I still believed in the imminent return of Jesus Christ, so there was a magic solution to all this, rather than just total collapse of society with either return to primitive living off the land or life inside a concentration camp. I'm darn glad I married a man who spent his entire life being poor so I have someone to show me how to do this.
