These Are Awesome

Sometimes it’s too funny to see Evince in action. Current FC4 Screenshot and Debian Screenshot (original debian screenshot sent to me). These are known bugs, but to have to view an article on Evince with Acrobat is just precious.

Federal Reserve

Robert: not only is Bernanke going to target inflation but it seems he will be conducting his economic policies in a much more open and predictable manor. I wonder if this is because of his purely academic background or if it’s a better way of approaching central banking. With his 18 year tenure Greenspan was always a little hard to predict how his recomendations would layout, but Greenspan did have years of work experience before taking the job. I’ve put Inflation Targeting on my wishlist so I can get a deeper understanding of what we’re in for. One thing that seems certain from his nomination statements is that short term rates will continue to increase for a while per previous Greenspan policies.
