Father of thirty says: "Give me a break." A story like Régnier’s is probably only possible in the south of Belgium, where a man can spend his life in idleness while the taxpayers provide him with enough income to sustain three women and thirty children. Wallonia is a Socialist stronghold which is subsidized by Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern half of the country. Belgium is a country in which any major government decision requires approval in both Flanders and Wallonia. The Constitution acting casting tipulates that every major change requires a majority in both parts of the country. This has doomed the country to inertia and it has inevitably led to the corruption of Wallonia.

When transistor radios were a big thing marketers discovered people associated the number of transistors with performance. It is possible to build a transistor radio with one transistor, but high performance radios (depending on what you wanted to do) generally required five to seven transistors. As the markets flooded, very cheap radios with seven, nine and even fourteen transistors appeared. My neighbor was given a 14 transistor unit and I remember how poorly it performed. A few years later, when it died, I took it apart and noticed 9 TO-5 transistor "cans" soldered to the PC board to a spot lacking circuit traces - they were dummies! People shopping for items where they don't understand the technology often fall prey to numbers they can compare (I believe men are far more susceptible to this than women - women tend to shop for functionality). We see this in processor speed on PCs (it is impossible to compare different processor send anonymous emails ypes), almost any type of audio gear and now, digital cameras. There are many critical components in a digital camera that impact the quality of the final image with the number of pixels on the imaging array being only one. In the past month I've seen ads for a "10.0 Mega Pixel" camera that is "not $899.99 now only $399.95." It carries a brand that will be familiar to people over 40. Looking at the specs it is clear the 10.0 megapixel number is achieved by interpolation.
