So you have all the receipts for every CD record or tape you've ever purchased? Besides, you can't send the letter and then look for evidence. Usually they need to know before one brings it to litigation. Is this kid guilty? probably, although there weren't many details in the article. But you can't just send letters out to students without a good amount of evidence, and it seems that is what is being contested- that he is somehow randomly being sent a letter (lucky fish).
Unlike most slashdotters (i presume), i think he should only fight to pay a smaller fine. Does it suck? yes. do i think the punishment fits the 'crime', not at all. But fighting how the letters are handled, or who gets them is just a road block until they streamline the process to screwing the rest of us over.
Your situation works out fine, as would mine. But think of a mother who wants to see her kids off to school and get home as soon as possible. That sucks for her.
Imagine if she's single and gets a low to moderate income- $5-10 tolls, like the flat tax, would kill the poor.
It's only a guess, but I'd assume because the trash can is not always in proximity to the drive you're dragging. This seems much more like the 'Ring' of options described above, which would appear when you being to move an object. What they are actually using it for is unknown to me, but it'd be interesting to see it and see if it really is a new or interesting idea.
Audits go into years past. Do you throw away your tax returns after you submit them? You should be keeping them for several years. And why wouldn't you keep the receipts for the life of the system?
I understand you don't keep the receipt for the Chinese take out you ate yesterday (unless you're getting reimbursed), but assets used for tax deductions are probably important in case of audits, and in that case you might want to have the piece of paper that says what you paid for it.
Honestly, there are rules business follow- and this is one of them.
There is a reason you received 0 mod points four your point.
I understand the idea of arguing joining the army is a 'death' sentence, or that it is somehow a bad decision. But i personally think that joining the army can be a life building experience, and can lead to many successful endeavors in the future, especially for those who cannot afford college or were unable to get into one. I am not saying that the army is for uneducated or the poor, just that it does offer another way out of harsher circumstances.
Yes, you might have to fight in a war. That is what soldiers do, but you gain a lot of things in the army as well. So think of that before you sew out a bunch of trash. I'm proud of my family in the army, and I think it is working out quite well for them.
So yes, in response, you can be old enough to start building your life, before you 'ruin' it.
Do you often wear wrinkled khakis and a slightly large button down shirt?
Just kidding, Every time i wear a red shirt at target, i always get asked questions by customers. God i wish they'd leave me alone and let me stand around for another 8 hours.
Thank you so much. I was writing a response to his when I noticed I hadn't refreshed the page in a while... needless to say I don't need to write my response. Except this one. Dammit.
I could actually see an argument for buying one of the coolers for the system, but not for wireless. Here is my setup:
Xbox, controller it came with, live. I don't need extra controllers for most of the games i play are single player or online (or guitar hero, with friends) in which case I'd just have extra controllers gathering dust.
So with your numbers, I'm at 400. which is probably what i ended up spending on my n64 after controllers and games.
And to those who are saying that you need an HDTV, why don't we just add in my HD Cable coast, because obviously without the 360 i wouldn't have had to get that, right?
Both systems have their crowds, and i can put together numbers that make one seem outrageous to the other. Know why i don't? because (most) everyone can see through this bullshit that is being posted.
When was this done? Because reverse pendulum designs are not exactly cutting edge anymore. But if it was, say, 30 years ago, that's probably pretty impressive.
The might have also purchased this knowing they could get a free upgrade in October. Not exactly sure if that's the case, but just a possible explanation.
Basically, you can't make many other conclusions about this data set.
I'll agree that the peons do simple work that doesn't call for the complicated systems that i was referring to. But those same peon's aren't exactly leaders, either. I guess we can relate it to the grind in WoW- sure there are some leaders (huge raids/CEO, etc) but a lot of people are just grinding to be a level 70. Same thing in life, except it's grinding to retirement... at 60.
This is what i was waiting for someone to say. Unfortunately i don't have mod points. Games don't generally offer partial information problems (aside from 'chance' and that occassional whiff on a sword slash), while my life is quite full of them. If a game did offer them, people would get pissed. Imagine drinking a potion/tonic/or whatever, and it...gasp... doesn't work! because the shop you bought it from was just a sleazy knockoff.
The systems involved are generally far more complicated than most business problems.
Are you kidding me? Granted it might be harder than "Where is the supply cabinet" but i have yet to see an RTS, or any other game for that matter, that can hold a candle to, say, understanding the global economy.
I mean, if in SimCity i can run an entire city while not building water for any of them, and still make millions of dollars, i hardly doubt that I'm learning much in terms of leadership, let alone more than what i could from actual 'business' problems.
while that's a simple example, i think it's fool hardy to say game systems are more complicated than most business problems. Saying it is just showing that a lot of people here simply want this statement to be true, and are trying to shape evidence to support it. Shoddy science here.
I understand that this was a joke, but There is still a NASA provided PI, principal investigator, who would remain on the project, regardless of the contractor. I work for a NASA contractor, and some of those guys... brilliant, but crazy.
I think that's SQ 1 and it was buckzoids:-)and you needed to win so you could buy the little skimmer to get out of the desert. Remember if you got the 3 skulls on slot machine and it vaporized you?
It also taught me speed. When i was a wee lad, i played King's Quest 4 (the perils of Rosella) and you needed to 'Clean House' before the dwarves got home from work. I always thought you had to do it so fast, after playing the game about a year back, i realized that my childhood mind had really exaggerated how fast that time went.
If this is your defense, than you are almost willfully ignorant of what the GP meant by "Accomplish". That is, to do something that could potentially affect many lives. Yes, being a good husband, good father, good etc etc is virtuous, but that doesn't mean it is an accomplishment in the same vein that the GP is intending the word to be used.
Had the GP said done more than, or is more important, than i can see issue being taken. but he almost absolutely meant accomplished in the "touches many people" sense.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that similar to meta-moderating?
-1, jailbait.

I didn't say drive her kids to school, i said see them off. As in, spend time with her family.
What a bitch, i know.
Microsoft's Non-compliance probably keeps half the complainers here employed. Not saying it's right (or wrong) just saying it.

It's probably something like the longer you're able to grind, the higher level you get to...in marriage.
But it's not funny, so no one else should try.

Why do you insist that I buy wireless?

I hope realized you just explained the segway.

Someone please mod parent up for the reference...

Well, there goes my porn career...
It's like he just got his iPhone bill from AT&T... damn those travel trips.
I think we're in heated disagreement here :-)

That'd be great fun

Very useful feature, but i didn't know spotlight had it. Seems a lot like launchy

Looks like those teacher's aren't the only ones... unless you think teachers having critical thinking skills is the problem?
