Is the longer pin intended for the right (live/hot) side or left (neutral/cold) side?

(Note: Using a standard AC American outlet type B with the ground at the bottom, the neutral slot is on the left, and the live slot is on the right)

Thank you.

The biggest Mistake Obama and the Democratic Congress made with the so called stimulus package was they put most of the money into government job creation. The problem with that is that those jobs are short term jobs that will never pay for themselves. If you are going to spend money creating jobs you are much better off create private sector jobs. These jobs are typically jobs that produce goods and services people need and want, as long as you don’t use the stimulus money for things that people don’t want like solar heating for example.

How many jobs could you create with almost a trillion dollars?

This is what I would have done with the money. I would have fixed the power grid! Then I would use the money to bribe democratic politicians and environmentalist to clear the way for private industry to drill for oil, in Alaska, in the Gulf, and off of California. I would streamline the process for building 50 new Nuclear power-plans. I would also allow clean coal production, just bribe more environmentalist. I would also investigate Algore and George Soros for fraud political corruption.
Chinabli and Scott. LMAO.. Tax cuts don’t create jobs! What a joke of a statement that is. You know what would have cost the same amount of money and would have saved millions and millions of jobs! A Federal Tax holiday for 9 months of 2009. It would have cost about 0.8 Trillion, and it would have worked.

I have no respect for independence if you mean by that moderate. Moderates just haven’t spend the time to study an issue longer enough to figure out where they stand on the issues. As for only less than half of the money has been spent and we have lost millions of jobs and destroyed the economy, I hope we don’t spend the other half. The administration has announced that the stimulus has done its job and don’t expect much more out of. I hope they are right this time, we can take any more stimulus like this.
If I took all the money and used it for myself, I would buy some homes, a few businesses, an investment advisor or 10 of them. I think I could create more jobs on my own than Obama did with the entire US economy at his finger tips.
Bobbi, you are Obama lite. You look a better and less filling but your idea still sucks. These are not real jobs. These are jobs that can not be maintained without tax subsides forever. Solar power is not cost effective. Cash for clunkers was a rip and it created more CO2 than it saved if you are into that sort of thing. Nuclear is the only way to go.

Which school should i choose?

i know that UIUC has really high ranked engineering program, but Washington University in St. Louis is ranked high overall. Which one would you pick? I like both schools equally.
