Ratings

Credit card companies are not looking so hard at credit ratings.

I also, same as you, don't trust Yahoo Auction ratings.

That play had good ratings.

Thousands of major government data resources have been posted in "machine-readable" form for free public access on the Data.gov website, and range from weather data to car safety ratings to the cost of healthcare procedures.

While Pseudo and Co. wage their war on the new site, I've been happily posting here, and reaping a few green orbs for it. During the times that I didn't get green orbs, for example on short comments that I never wanted to get rated anyway, I chose to stay quiet about it, but not because I want to show that I'm emotionally strong, or the bigger man, or anything. Of course I get upset about it. I like green! Their cyan-and-lower ratings not only bring down my average, but also look ugly on my green-themed posts. Basically, it rustles my jimmies more than a little bit. Before, as some of you know, I might have started to complain because I didn't want my comments to get downrated for something trivial. Yet now I choose not to reply because I know that what I have to say will likely be met with hostility, based on my experience with Fig Hunters.

I like to see the ratings going up.

The Nutifood Nutrition Food Joint Stock Company recently got an expected debt rating of B+ from Fitch Ratings, which predicts the company will profit from more Vietnamese buying health foods.

The trim, silver-haired 56-year-old has soaring approval ratings.

Ratings are dropping.

Ratings are falling.
