No it wouldn't. Just break down crying about how you have this crippling addiction and enjoy your 45-day vacation. Odds are, someone in upper management spent a few weeks in a methadone clinic or something similar in a medium-sized company anyway.
It's probably a commonly held misbelief because of the way it's reported.
For instance, if there were wolves outside of a town, well... people would know there's wolves outside of a town. But if every day a young boy just kept yelling "AHHH! WOLVES!", then there'd be a bit more discussion about it, no?
The belief that crime has gotten worse probably has a great deal to do with the more sensationalistic journalism of the last 20 years ago or so.
Thank you, but I was already well aware of that. I should have formatted my paragraphs differently.
Yes. Check cashing businesses essentially loan you your own paycheck right there (less a fee, obviously). They then cash it later. If the check doesn't clear, they hold you responsible. They're like quasi-banks, they're quite common in large cities.
There are millions of people getting payday loans every week in America because someone doesn't have the fiscal responsibility to wait a few days for a check to clear.
Addendum, I also think technical skill is important in art. I think it takes work to make a decent piece of art.
Someone painting an entire canvas black and putting a giant yellow line down the middle doesn't get as much respect from me as someone who just randomly splashed paint all about a canvas to make something that looks like a drop cloth. Even our poster boy in the story had to do a good bit of building on the hardware as well as writing scripts and whatnot.
I've been to museums a few times, but I've never taken anything beyond the most basic art classes. I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for instance, and Dawn's art class was using chalk and easels to draw the negative space around a statue. Sadly in my big city we didn't have that sort of budget for art class so we learned mostly simpler stuff.
I've certainly heard about a lot of the greats and their influence - Monet, Manet, Picasso, DaVinci, etc. etc., but my main point is that Duchamp's name hasn't entered the popular lexicon (as far as I can tell), so that tells me that he isn't that well known of an artist outside of art circles.
I just re-watched all three Bourne movies recently. What I love in movie/TV UIs is that they're apparently still stuck in the command line era. Nearly every episode of ALIAS, James Bond movies, etc. etc. people are slamming away at the keyboard like they're cybering with a rock-hard pants tent, but when's the last time you can remember someone using a mouse?

They could still do this, I imagine, even with freedom of choice of sorts.
Let's say you buy a phone from a wireless store. This store supports three carriers, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. They'll tell you Phone X works on all three. You buy your phone, you pick your carrier, and the phone is financed (like a new car is) by being spread out over the bill of whatever company you pick.
Saying "The True $RELIGIOUS_GROUP" is a bad idea and divisive. Within every religion there are multiple sects. Fighting over things like who are the True Muslims is one of the reasons the Sunnis and Shi'ites have been kicking the crap out of each other for so many years.
People like Pat Robertson put a black mark on the overall belief system that Christians believe in. The best thing they can do is denounce him and show him up by doing some good, which they are already doing.
I learned about Tectonic plates from Bill Nye the Science Guy. I'll trust Bill Nye over an evangelist preacher any day. At least he had a bitchin' lab coat.
I'm not sure, I can't really parse the data mentally on a 2-D plane. Perhaps he should get one of the computers these guys use and cook up some 3D cityscape models.
I wonder, do you guys have a trade group of sorts? Is there some sort of International HAM Radio operator organization?
Part of the reason you guys might be "unsung" is because no one is speaking up for you. If that's the case, then you need to band (pardon the pun) together and speak for yourselves.
As an aside, where would be a good place to get started on lurnin 2 HAM?
That's how they handle the Eucharist in really big churches nowadays. They have a wine bong and a giant Pez-like dispenser that has a Jesus head and chucks out wafers.
I wonder if it would be unethical from a FOSS standpoint for Firefox to put out an announcement about how to use these codecs through. Firefox needs to have enough people adopting them for Vimeo, YouTube, etc. to accept those browsers.

I would love to play D&D with some ex-cons.
"Your rogue has a shiv? Where'd he get a shiv?"
"I filed shavings off of my mug, melted down a copper piece for solder, and used a sock for the handle."

Well, at least I know that Bill Watterson knew about the guy.

All due respect to Duchamp, but I've actually heard of Frank Zappa. d:
Was "art is whatever you call it" the biggest thing he ever came up with? Genuine curiosity on my part.
Maybe he's just an audiophile or "HDTV enthusiast". They spend thousands of dollars on useless boxes and gold-plated cables. d:
Much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
As a final aside, got any good HAM related puns? :3

Mod parent up.
If Google really turned around on their stance, then /. should post an article about it.

Oh man, I would so buy one of those.
You went from funny to depressing as soon as you brought the facts in. :(
Right, but you can't yell threats or potentially damaging things like "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.
So really what it comes down to is whether the spam itself is constitutionally protected or not. It may fall under the harmful speech listed above.
Now as far as marketing goes, they make a hell of a lot of false claims, and they are legally liable for that.
There's one other difference. They forgive the loans if the band can't pay them back.
Yes, and labels have also torpedoed bands because they don't think they're going in the "right" direction musically.
"This band's sound isn't in anymore, let's reduce their advertising budget."

Have four Skype windows on one monitor. Record the monitor with a webcam. BAM videoconferencing.
Oh great, so not only would you break both of your legs but you would have a wicked case of motion sickness to boot.

Maybe its time people stop considering music as a primary career, then, until they build their customer base up stronger.
