  1. Hell if I know! Got an A in ECON 201, 202, ACC 201, 202 But I haven't heard of negative fixed cost. I'm not sinophobic or anything, but this so called "professor" should consider switching to the Chinese department. This is ridiculous. Thanks anyhow. Now get in the kitchen and make me some pie! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  2. It's 12:30 and I'm tired...but: A manufacturer can produce 7200 units for a total profit of 16600 dollars; but, if he increases his production to 11200 units, then his profit becomes 28600 dollars. It follows that his fixed cost must be ___ dollars and his net profit per unit produced must be ___ dollars Note: We are assuming, as usual, that the profit is a linear function of the production. So I worked it out. m=3, the If you makes the units x as in any supply demand, then $ is y. That means that fixed cost is -5000! Am I retarded or just stupid? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  3. The West is trying hard to prevent Iran from manufacturing it's own nukes. In the midst of all this tension about uranium enrichment, I am wondering. If a country like Iran really wanted to increase it's danger, wouldn't it be easier to do this secretly with biological and chemical weapons? Are those under surveilance as well? It seems to me that if a country like Iran had evil intent, it would be able to carry it out without the current inspections and attention until it was ready to blow. Just a pondering. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  4. Leaving for Jackson Hole for a week after Christmas. I want to order the right stuff off of campmor.com and other places. Would I be allright with just thermals and ski pants? And how about thermal top, a fleece and the ski jacket? Several people have told me Jackson Hole would be FREEZING cold. So? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  5. yes. look at the "E" on "Emirates" which is painted on a much brighter white than the rest of the plane. maybe it's the sand that got all over the plane --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  6. I don' t have the movie anymore, but I want to find the Soundtrack. What are the tracks on this awesome movie? Thankya
  7. Sorry, I apologize for the ambigious post. I found a little clip of some "south african breakdancing", but can't post it here since the link won't work. The only way i know how to get to it is... to go to googlevideo, then search for South African Breakdancing, and watch the video... Hope it clarifies things a little...
  8. My goals for the next month (after finals) - do nothing for a week, then go rip it up in jackson hole for a week (paid for by a buddy's mother!) then, well do nothing for a week. Then back to work.... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

  12. I have to organize my best friend's bachelor party, and he is of the christian persuasion. So no beer, no strippers none of that. Any orginal and fun ideas? I have heard of people dressing the guy up and making him do things - I don't know if he would apreciate that. Maybe. I also heard of one guy planting a baggie of flour in the guy's car and then having a cop pull him over and taking him in, calling his wife-to-be and telling her he can't attend the wedding. Any others? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  13. Ok, so I just realized something. I found a quote - T.S. Eliot -I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.- I finally realized that is where the verse in Crash Test Dummies come from! "Afternoons will be measured out Measured out, measured with Coffeespoons ans T.S. Eliot" It's funny when you stop and look at the lyrics of a song what you realize. This made me look at the lyrics for the first time and see the poetry. I am now much more apreciative... "Afternoons And Coffeespoons" What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy? There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy I've had my lungs checked out with X rays I've smelled the hospital hallways Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime Times when the day is like a play by Sartre When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order I gave the doctor my description I've tried to stick to my prescription Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime Afternoons will be measured out Measured out, measured with Coffeespoons ans T.S. Eliot Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback I could change the test results that I will get back I've watched the summer evenings pass by I've heard the rattle in my bronchi... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  14. Ok then i'll bite - if you tell me, which surveys? In any case, education is in a sad state. Americans are not the best educated people in the world. It really depends how you measure it though - number of college grads? Performance on tests? How? My south african vs. australian vs. american high school experience showed me how horrible elementary, middle and high school education is. Ridiculous. College is another case altogether. But that is not where education starts, you shouldn't take geography in college. Educate them better earlier, and you will see the massive difference. America is a leader in technology. It should re-generate it's own. Educate the young! I have heard, but can't verify, that in China, there is no dashes in phone numbers (xxx-xxx-xxxx), but it is all together (xxxxxxxxxx) and kids are taught to learnt it without trouble. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  15. I'm sure they only take the worst people, but it still did happen... Look on the left for the video labeled - Awful Geography http://www.holylemon.com/index.php I was talking to a girl outside the bar a couple of nights ago (from Kentucky). She asked where I was from. South Africa. -Oh wow. Where is that? Well, do you know where Malaysia is? -YES! Just south of Malaysia. And a little east of Venezuala. -Oooh, really! That so interesting! (having NOOOOO idea - her hypothalamic picture of earth just got thrown in the juicer!) More seriously, Kallend talks about a lack of education in another thread. I absolutely agree. For a country who is "on top of the world", very few actually know what the world looks like! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  16. Really? I thought India had them beaten on that front since the late 90's. Is your info up to date? The Economist Pocket World in Figures (2006 Edition) - on my desk says: China - 1,304.2 million India - 1,065.5 million U.S. 294.0 million India is definitely another player to watch for. The others have raised the same view. Here is my thoughts - not research based. The U.S. have to appear to be a fair and just nation that will not open up on just anyone. China seems to be playing "fair" according to the western economy driven world. I also read an interesting article where they talk about the strategies the CHinese are using - published byt he Chinese back in the '90's if I am not mistaken. It is much more than militarily. Economic warfare would be much more effective. (China holds the most US government bonds as well as pegging its exchange rate). --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  17. This is situation that I am following closely. The relationship between China and the U.S. is very interesting especially as it is developing militarily, economically, but mostly I enjoy gaining insight into people's perceptions. China and the Chinese knows that America has been the leader for a long time, and they are catching up - fast. Americans are just now waking up - at least the ones that read the news. I think Bush going to China is an excellent way for him to raise awareness in our own country. Especially with some goofy pictures! If you are interested in this, then go pick up the book - China Inc. - Ted Newman --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  18. Mmmmmmmm.... Wouldn't we all love to live on a tiny tropical island? Well, it has it's benefits, but also it's drawbacks, like live sushi octopus for breakfast because your country has almost no economy. Tokelau is somewhere inbetween Hawaii and New Zealand. This is the kind of place where you hear about this new internet thing, so you go ahead and have a tribal meeting. You decide you don't need it, and you will just sell your domain names for profit. Check out... http://www.dot.tk/ So next time you are thinking about going to Fiji or Hawaii, adjust your focus and think about a beautiful little island called Tokelau where the people are friendly and the food is fresh! http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/tl.html --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

  20. Some people think you should put a title on your resume like: "International projects junior manager" I think, without a career behind you coming out of college and an internship, you should say your name and the usual stuff, no title! Google seems to agree by not replying well to "resume title". --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  21. You might be right. Since this post happened he has made another $7000 profit. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

  23. I never post in here - I hope this is not a repost. http://switch5.castup.net/frames/20041020_MemriTV_Popup/video_480x360.asp?ClipMediaID=60227&ak=null In a day and age where you can't trust much I can only hope that I'm not lied to about the translation. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

  25. I'm doing a project for my final paper on the unexpected economic outcomes of drug dealing. Any drug dealers I could talk to on here? Meth, Cocaine, Marjiuana experience is all a plus. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
