if the fact of increasing payments towards fixing you car because you were over the speed limit reduces the cost of insurance, then that is a benefit to the careful driver.
I *am* a careful driver. I did not, however, marry a careful driver.
Classic MS Basic (including VB6) strings were *almost* immutable. You could use Mid(myString, 4, 1) = "x", which I expect ruled out any optimizations you can usually do with immutable objects.
VB.Net strings really are immutable, plus you have StringBuilder
Most Democrats also still claim that W was AWOL from his guard duty, and many prominent figures demanded explanations. CBS's Dan Rather, a 40 year veteran reporter, completely destroyed his career trying to pass off some forged documents. To this day, the guy insists that those forgeries were "fake but accurate"
That doesn't sound so unreasonable. The question of whether Bush abandoned his national guard post was getting to be a big deal before that document turned up. When the document turned up, the story got much bigger for a few days and then completely disappeared when everyone started laughing at Rather for being taken in by the document.
I think it's about equally likely that the forgery was from a liberal hoping to sneak it through vs. a conservative expecting it to get discovered shortly. Either way, it has nothing to do with whether the original story was actually true.
Use Word 2007 for real work for two weeks (like 8 hr/day) and then tell me if it sucks.
I've been using it at work for almost four years now (with a couple 1-3 week bursts of heavy tech writing). It sucks.
The new interface is still not as big a problem as Word pretending it doesn't work by WordPerfect-style codes, but there was nothing that got better.
Granted, I'm not their target market. I saw interviews talking about how people couldn't find the new features in the last couple of versions, and I don't think I've ever used a non-VBA Word feature that wasn't in Word 95.
Something like this has already been on House, in the first couple of seasons. A woman picked up African Sleeping Sickness, and House had to convince her husband that she might have had an affair in order to treat her. The husband stayed around long enough to see that the treatment was working and then walked out of the hospital.
House's line "Anything you can catch though blood, you can catch though sex." made the radio commercials before I had ever seen the show.
I do find it a bit depressing that Microsoft started tanking from a business perspective right about the same time they really started to make good products: WinXP, SQL Server 2000, and.Net.
one essential pillar of pro-choice that people forget. one can be opposed to abortion itself and still be pro-choice
People forget that? It's stressed constantly! The abortion debate is badly unbalanced because only one of the extremes is represented.
If you believe that a fetus clearly is a person, that has moral consequences, up to and including the murder of an abortion doctor being equivalent to killing Hitler on the street in 1930. This is something that everyone is reminded of regularly.
However, if you believe that a fetus clearly is not a person, that has also moral consequences. If a fetus is not a person, then having a baby with a known serious birth defect is no different than deliberately maiming a newborn. Not aborting an accidental pregnancy when you don't want and can't afford a child is no more "the responsible choice" than deliberately getting pregnant.
It took me a minute or two to realize you meant the dominatrix interpretation. At first I thought you were embarrassed because no one says "webmaster", anymore.
Yes, definitely a strong majority, just not unanimous.
For most purposes, I like absolutely as clean as possible, or really, really dirty. I'm only interested in the more moderate, warm tones you get from most tube amps, alder-body guitars and non-distorted humbuckers when I'm playing blues.

When was the last time you looked at Megan Fox and thought, "boy she is smart"?
Never for Megan Fox, but how about Tina Fey, Natalie Portman or Danica McKellar? Or Taylor Momsen or Gwen Steffani for singing ability.
All of them impress me for something other than appearance, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't love to wear any one of their asses like a hat.
If nothing else, we've spent the last ten years wearing out a lot off our equipment.
Why not just do it right there?
The professor I had for database systems and bioinformatics worked for the computer science department, but was an MD -- he seemed to be pretty good.
I dont care who first invented the hand-held mp3 player (I had a 128KB Creative RIO ), I care who makes the BEST one, and that happens to be Apple.
No, thank you. I don't want to be forced into managing my MP3s with iTunes and using that to load the player.
Between me, my son, my dad and my sister, we've have six or eight Sandisk players over the years.

Three ways with a guy who's substantially shorter than you are really point out that length has a big impact on how many positions do and don't work.

Just curious what you mean here... Twinks? Pre-op trans women?

Old house? Our gas/electric bill is $200-$250 per month (I forget the exact -- my wife pays the bills), and we don't have central air.
What we do have is an old gravity fed furnace, converted from coal in 1949.

I was 14 20 years ago, and I don't see a whole lot of difference in what's expected of teenagers.
Also, my son's 13, and his peers seem to be a whole lot nicer than jr. high kids in 1989.
This makes me want a "Disgusting and wrong" moderation that counts as an upvote.
I would, if only I could find them.
It makes sense for relationships lasting a total of up to five years or so.

there is no such thing as free sex.
Sure there is. That's the kind that costs more.
Yes, definitely a strong majority, just not unanimous.
For most purposes, I like absolutely as clean as possible, or really, really dirty. I'm only interested in the more moderate, warm tones you get from most tube amps, alder-body guitars and non-distorted humbuckers when I'm playing blues.
Ask any musician which type of amp is better.
Not any and every musician. Other guitar players do things I like with (some) tube amps, but they sound completely wrong to me when I plug into one.
And I've never heard a clean tone from anyone better than what you get from a Roland JC-120, which is solid state.
I like meat, but the fact that it came out of a corpse is far more distasteful to me than growing in a lab ever could be.
