I find team play much more entertaining than individual play. After you hit level 8 it's so far between milestones and levels that there's not much gratification on a regular basis. It's just repetitive busywork. But the strategy and teamwork required to execute a giant field that covers a major metropolitan area and everything surrounding it watching the team score spike way up — THAT is gratifying.
It looks like there are only 14 states that charge some sort of sales tax on basic food.
Five charge the full sales tax rate on basic food: Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Dakota
Six charge a reduced state sales tax rate on basic food: Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia
Three others don't charge state sales tax on basic food... but allow local sales tax on basic food: Georgia, Louisianna and North Carolina
Only four states charge any sort of tax on prescription drugs: Delaware, Illinois (greatly reduced), New Hampshire and Oregon.
It's more like if you told millions of people that remaining on top of the cliff was a scientifically-proven death sentence for them and their children... and that if they pushed their children over the edge the children would be much more likely to survive. And on top of that... condemning those who left their children well-anchored on top of the cliff as baby killers who obviously hate their own children.
I just listened to this short (45 minute), free audio book this morning on the way to work... and then this article popped up on Slashdot. I swear I heard the Twilight Zone theme song start playing and got a shiver. "We Like You So Much and Want to Know You Better"
Well they can't exactly get them legally, can they? If they walk into the nearest Bass Pro shop or wherever... they're not exactly going to get great customer service.
Right now the pilots and first officers have to download updates to the printed documents and print them out themselves, if I understand procedure correctly. This isn't an occasional task... but something that takes place on a very regular basis. The documents include everything from standard and emergency procedures to flight plans, airport layouts and so on. Like the blurb above said... it's 35 pounds of paper that they have to carry onto the plane with them... and back off again... everywhere they go. They stick with the pilot... not the plane. But the danger of "hacking" the documentation doesn't go away just because you go with paper. The documents still go through the digital world before they're printed... and still suffer the oh-so-scary danger of "hackers" modifying them. The difference here is that the pilots and officers don't have to lug around a 35+ pound suitcase of books... don't have to waste paper, toner, etc... and can just plug in their iPads to sync all the documentation at once instead of hoping that they got all the documents that had to be updated for their current flight... and got the pages in the right place in the right book. The only disadvantage is that the paper industry will decline faster and the chiropractors won't have as many airline pilots visiting them because their backs were messed up from lugging that stuff around.
The first definition of faith at dictionary.com: confidence or trust in a person or thing. You're arguing that two synonyms don't mean the same thing. You can "disagree" all you want and make up your own meaning for words... but that doesn't change the facts.
So while you need to defer to other people in almost every part of your life, I don't think this qualifies as "faith". Do you "believe" in your CPA, or do you trust him enough to let him do your taxes for you because of his track record and reputation? Do you "believe" in your auto mechanic, or do you just trust that he won't screw up your brakes because of his track record and reputation? IMHO there is a big difference.
First definition of faith (from dictionary.com): n. confidence or trust in a person or thing.
As far as I can tell, you're arguing that two synonyms don't mean the same thing. Unless you are an expert in every possible area of study and accomplishment in the world... you have to believe/trust/have faith that other people know what they're doing and talking about... because you can't specialize in everything on earth.
And for the past 3 years paying $46.36 per month

Dumbphones don't really cost all that much less from what I can tell... $20-30 per month plan.
Half of the cost definitely counts as "all that much less" in my book.
Yeah... but the numbers look a little skewed because the Canadian ISPs are using metric bytes, which are a smaller unit than the Imperial bytes used in the U.S... much in the same way that the standard Canadian kilometer measurement of distance is shorter than the U.S. mile or liter smaller than the gallon.;)
The three seem fairly distinct to me. You probably just need a better monitor... or some color calibration performed on the one you have. But anyway... for reference, the top "sky blue" line is Comcast, middle is Cable One and bottom is CenturyTel.
So the laws made by the hundreds of different people we elect to make laws after the will of the people... don't matter. Just the opinion of 9 people who we have no say in at all as a people? I don't think so. It's true that they are there to bring justice... but "justice" is defined by the Constitution (as of primary authority) and the laws that those we elected have enacted (as long as they don't contradict the Constitution). Any other "justice" is out of place.

locopuyo: The distance between seats isn't changing
summary at top: The seats Southwest has put on nearly its entire fleet are 31 inches apart, about an inch less than before

Thanks. I saw it months ago on Facebook somewhere and didn't have the reference handy.
Yes, punctuation may also convey meaning , but has a much shallower effect than grammar.
I beg to differ. Something as small as a comma can make a huge difference in the meaning of what is written. For example:
I'm not sure I would call that shallow. It may be a silly example, but it applies to real-life sentences as well.
...because if you don't have anything to hide... then you won't mind somebody watching your every move and posting it on YouTube.
Not in this case. I prefer to consume the vegetarians a little lower on the food chain.
Most of my favorite foods are vegetarians. :)

There's no doubt that a little bit of pattern added to the colors would make it more universally legible despite computer or optical specs.

Since TV news is how most people become informed...
Just wondering what that statement is based on.
