So tell me, is two names United States, or any US state's law, or is it just a common assumption? Do programmers routinely look up the law for common assumptions? I'm guessing no. And by the way, the tone of your responses in this thread

Except we won't. We rarely do, and only at onesies and twosies. Besides, they aren't working on the fiscal cliff anyway, even if it looks like they are. They're wielding a tool which they created which gives them another way to make the oth

Except you don't do that to people. If you want to truly understand someone's condition, first be their friend and earn the right to talk to them about it. Or jump on wikipedia. But don't stare. People are not here for your edu-porn.

Where on CNBC are these "Primer Posts" linked from? In other words, what CNBC page would I bookmark to see the latest one? The best I could come up with is a search, which is silly. http://search.cnbc.com/main.do?target=all&categories=
