Women know. When you find one who moves in, you will soon learn. You will also learn about the pillows that you aren't supposed to use for sleeping, and the blanket that sits on the foot of the bed, only to be removed at bedtime and replaced the next morning. You will learn about towels that nobody except for "guests" may use. Ditto plates and silverware. Occasionally, candles will fall into this category. When this woman moves in, you will often find yourself nodding as though it all makes sense, if only to ensure that you will get to continue to have sex.
The issue isn't curtailment of federal power, it's curtailment of some types of federal power with a concurrent accrual of federal power that curtails individual liberties. The so-called conservatives in Washington have been shaking hands with half of the libertarian ideal while virtually ignoring the "liberty" portion.
Our starting pitcher, who eventually wound up playing AAA minor league baseball, took those courses. When his shoulder wore out, he ended up going back to college and wound up attending law school at Princeton. Say what you will about attorneys, to get into a school like that, one has to exhibit an extraordinary and rare combination of academic talents. It's quite normal for someone to have the kind of work ethic necessary to compete at a high level of athletics who can transfer that to coursework. It starts at home - if the parents can push the kid past the mentality forced on them by typical coaches, the kid will do well in just about everything.
I'm inclined to agree with those who characterize the bitter ranting about "jocks" is a case of PSND (Post Secondary Nerd Disorder), in which embittered former nerds fantasize about their former aggressors really living the lives that mommy used to say they would ("Junior, those kids will be gas station attendants, and you'll be a CEO!"). Of course, we all know that this isn't always the case: often the nerds end up working for the former "jocks," who found a way to make their charisma work well for them in the business world after earning that MBA that nerds so roundly criticize as "grad school for jocks."
Right. It takes a "good working knowledge of physics" to pedal a bike up a hill. Almost as much as it does to run in circles. Just because "nerds" are involved in these events doesn't mean that they require a lot of thought - in fact, many of the nerds I know who do participate in them do so for an escape, for a chance to be alone with other thoughts.
Books and toys of all sorts just for giving a junk e-mail address... and telling someone that you'll "really consider" adopting a $125 textbook for a design course when you really don't use any textbook aside from freebie guides available on the internet and articles available through university library subscriptions.
When my wife was in med school, they treated an entire fucking section (75 students) of third years - with guests - to dinner and an open bar at a four star restaurant to plug their new wonder drug for cholesterol.
ALL awards are biased. Any award based on a value judgment of "good, better, best" in the top tier of any field is going to sway strongly toward the prevailing biases of the awarding committee, no matter how "objective" they try to be. Although I agree with your main sentiment, that "any economist who doesn't recognize the value . . . is a POORLY trained economist," I can't help but point out that this statement also reveals a bias, in this case, against economics grounded in material resources (which are, no matter where you live, dwindling daily). I'm also inclined to think that "information economy" is a misnomer. Information doesn't drive the economy: in no way can you say that information is scarce. It is, in fact, ubiquitous. What drives the economy is style and utility, and ultimately, speed: the packaging and delivery of information, that which makes your intellectual property valuable to end users.
By the way - hell of a reference to de Soto. His work on bureaucratic hindrance (through corruption and economic cronyism) of economic progress is particularly of note in our current environment: occasionally, a little economic protectionism is necessary, if only to keep certain types from taking power and then driving a nation into unimaginable debt by allowing their buddies to rob the nation blind and charge it to the future.
No, they're not. They're misused, but they're not spam by any means. They are a legitimate legal document used just as often for legitimate purposes as they are to "spam" providers. You only get to hear about the "spam." The trouble is that content providers don't press charges against people who file multiple incorrect notices (perjury), which would slow the practice pretty quickly. Thank you, though, for your thoughtful legal analysis.
You're missing the point. The only lines on a pay stub that are public information are those containing the name of the employee and the gross compensation. The tax information is private, unless subpoenaed. Don't couch your pseudo philosophy in legalese unless you understand the law and know even the most basic premises thereof.
I said nothing about the value of the concept whatsoever. I was responding to the assertion that businesses are here to help people. They're not. They're here to make money. That was a value-free statement. To understand it, think of the "reading" or "sanity" free post that you just made, in response to a nonexistent utterance.
Sir, your name is indeed well-chosen. I applaud you for making the worst analogy I have heard all day - which is truly an accomplishment, as I teach undergraduates how to communicate.

(some cops don't understand this) This is a longstanding right that has been reaffirmed a number of times by the Supreme Court. In fact, the ACLU at one point had a card that the group encouraged photographers to carry entitled "The Photographer's Bust Card" - outlining legal rights of photographers. There's more info at nyc.photobloggers.org and a PDF based on the card developed by an attorney that is pretty informative.
There's a difference to being in view in public, and having your whereabouts noted, and retrievable for all of eternity
Sorry, but here in the States, anyone may take photographs of whatever they want when they are in a public place, as long as there is no specific statute or ordinance in place prohibiting such activity (military bases, etc.) Property owners can prevent you from taking pictures while on their property; however, they cannot prohibit you from photographing any visible part of that property while on public land. Literally, I could stand on a street corner and photograph every license plate that passes, every person, etc., and nothing could legally be done to stop me (some cops don't understand this). I could also set up a camera to record a public street and capture everything going on.
Most tollbooths are already recorded to make sure that they can collect from people who pass without paying: if you don't pay the requisite fee, you get a bill. This is the same damn thing: a state (or in this case, a municipality) is charging for the use of the roads that it has to fund.

How big are your storage units? I need to move... too little cubic feet for the money. :)
I'm sure that we do "hear" you. You just don't "hear" logic or reason.

Why has nobody yet mentioned the slide rule? My father went through his first year of graduate school with one of those bad boys.

Licenses are transferable through these contracts: the new owner can set whatever terms for the content he wishes.

Is it signed by you, the retardededest Slashdot poster?
It's cool... I'll hop on my dinosaur and ride it to your house and apologize when that happens.
I thought that with an ignorant opinion such as the one you espoused, you simply had to be trolling. Now I'll add "Fool" to the previous comment.
Ass.

Including, obviously, the student body. Of 27,000 students, someone knows someone who = God when it comes to any given subject.
