Now, 10 years later, although I'm making well over $150k/year, I keep my expenses very low like I'm still a grad student, and I always have at least 6 months' expenses in short-term accounts.
With that kind of salary proper frugality, by now you should have accumulated enough money to never have to work again.
I was paid $12 an hour at a software company in Long Island. And $12.50 an hour in a hedge fund off of Wall Street (Manhattan). I then went on to make a whole $40k/yr in Austin.
Believe it.
I tested out the beta in a new window and if it keeps up, I will remove it from my history so it doesn't autofill in my browser navigation bar and just stop coming here.
You're not thinking about this correctly. Gore, Bush, Obama, McCain - all these guys are part of a pro-corporate cabal. Only Nader and some others aren't - making him and others like him fundamentally different. But you can't admit that, hawguy, because you don't want to admit mistakes you have made in the past (not just with voting) and are so entrenched in the system.
If enough people do this, Facebook will get the message that users are unhappy with this decision, even if deleting the account doesn't protect already-entered data.

DIANE RAVITCH: “The Billionaires Boys Club” is a discussion of how we’re in a new era of the foundations and their relation to education. We have never in the history of the United States had foundations with the wealth of the Gates Foundation and some of the other billionaire foundations—the Walton Family Foundation, The Broad Foundation. And these three foundations—Gates, Broad and Walton—are committed now to charter schools and to evaluating teachers by test scores. And that’s now the policy of the US Department of Education. We have never seen anything like this, where foundations had the ambition to direct national educational policy, and in fact are succeeding...

While I don't play poker and consider it a vapid waste of time and energy better spent on doing something productive, I will say this.
To everyone replying that the government is "wasting time and money" and is suggesting that there more important matters to be concerned with than shutting down internet poker. I will remind all of you of a seldom talked about and suppressed fact about our society.
In a society as civilly disengaged, disillusioned, propagandized, and atomized as ours, the government will be able to get away with continuing and escalating their ongoing efforts to continue shaping society in the current negative direction by keeping up with their current and developing new means of doing what it does: engaging in social control while multinational unaccountable private tyrannies have their way with us.
If The People genuinely opposed the manoeuvre, couldn't they simply force Congress to pass a law enacting the restrictions they wanted? My understanding is that executive departments need to operate within the law. The People decide, the legislative abides, subsequently as does the executive.
Now, if the bought and paid for People just wanted to appear populist while keeping their jobs and not stepping out of bounds of their daily routine and not actually doing anything, I suppose simply speaking out against the decision would do fine.
We can focus our attention on things like that skepticality link you provided, and I will check it out, but we are really missing the point when we have the government, FCC, and corporations screwing the public the way they are. And, I think, most energy taken to counter this misinformation is largely displaced if these three elements I just mentioned aren't taken care of first.

The real problem is the nonsensical jobs people work that contribute negatively to our society more than any homeless person can.
I like this comment so much.

This most recent redesign is just unusable. I will leave 100% if this is the new Slashdot.
But are we really going to blame the loser of an election for the actions of the winner?
See: retards blaming Nader for Bush.

Your society is broken. It's better to deal with that fact instead of perpetuating it.
Wow.

A problem with nuclear power is that we'll be at the mercy of corporations to set the price and availability just like they do for oil.

everybody who indulged in that binge is now dead or dying
Except for the execs from those banks living it up in extravagant lavishness and not in jail or dead, hope as we might.
