I agree, but it's not just the insurance companies. I simply refuse to buy a car with this crap. I need an MP3 socket for my iPod and that's it. If it means I have to buy a 2012 car and run it for 20 years, so be it.
"A recent study claimed that the top 1 percent of mobile data users eat up half of the available bandwidth." No it didn't. It said that the top 1% download half of the total data downloaded. There's a big difference.
But hybrids are also better on the highway because they have a smaller engine. A Prius gets better mileage both in the city and the highway than my Corolla does.
Any company that can do an ACH transaction to deposit money into your account can also do an ACH transaction to take money back out. There really is no distinction.
This especially happens with new industries. Look at the early days of radio, for example. RCA radio, anyone? Made by Thomson, not RCA. Just look at the early cell phone companies. How many of them have failed?
"Payroll tax" covers all the taxes. "Withholding" or "Income" taxes cover part, and "FICA" or "Social Security" cover other taxes.
But you are certainly correct: No tax software today can handle the calculation that the Senate came up with and it all will have to be reprogrammed quickly for employees making over $9,175 per month. Oh, that leaves 80% of the employers without having to make any change.
I'd mod you down, but would rather comment: Why don't you check on the Internet to see how Siri does handle "morally/sexually improper requests"? People have been logging Siri commentary since she was introduced.
Payroll tax since 1980 has not been a flat percentage. The graduated tax rates are built into the income tax table.
The OP is talking about Medicare and FICA tax rates which have been flat but also the same for the whole year.
You bring the device to work and connect it to the network, the company pwns it. Remote wipe is only one feature, another is full inspection of all data on the device. I've heard of one person who got an iPhone 4S simply so her personal stuff is completely separate from the company network. Yes, that means 3G instead of WiFi at work.
The biggest disappointment with Android is not allowing owners to keep it up to date without rooting it. We're talking about the majority of the phones being obsolete even before the two-year commitment is up. To update, you have to get a new phone and many of them do not have the latest version of Android.
You are memorizing, not calculating. 12 is treated as a whole. When you ask for 9 * 12, I don't say 90 + 18, I just know 108. I think everyone should have up to 12 * 12 memorized. Now 13 is a different story, although I do have many of them memorized (6 * 13 = 78).
I program full time in RPG, the cousin of COBOL, but I don't talk much about billing rates on here. I don't consider myself "massively overpaid," because I deal with systems where problems can cost $20,000 in overtime a month (as happened last year; not my fault). Some of my colleagues work on systems where downtime is much more expensive.

Not the same person as the poster. Sorry.

Oh, my, gosh, you read the story? We don't read the stinkin' story, we take the summary as the gospel truth.
You're right, nothing to see here. Everyone go home.
Verizon already charges for paper bills. You have to sign on and print it yourself if you want paper.
You've got to spend $1,000 to get money back? Discover pays on the first dollar.
Completely wrong, but since you're an AC I have no reason to explain.
Verizon is partly owned by Vodaphone which does do business in Europe.

Does this mean that the supply for iPads will be able to satisfy the demand?

But what one commenter pointed out is that they're changing the way the tax is calculated. That'll require a software change.

Uh, no. The young people make very few calls on their phones. It's text messages, IM, Facetime, VOIP over Xbox, facebook; everything but phone calls.

I think you mean "frickin". "Frigin" isn't in the urban dictionary yet; if you feel strongly about it, add a definition.
Yes, I use two brs for a one-line

Good. In the real world, crappy input happens every so often and your program should have a way of dealing with it without crashing.
