Ok, people need to save more instead of spending everything they earn. That's been true for a long time. However, savings accounts earn such a low rate of return that with any inflation at all it costs money to have it in savings.
Thank you. I thought this was a stupid stunt, and I wish someone would have told him where to get off the train. I wonder how he would enjoy someone pulling a Penn and Teller, and releasing a thousand or so roaches in his house.
I remember acid paper. The hippies would cut it into stamp-sized squares, like this one here, and you would paht eh ahn ya thangue lak thifs....Wooaah......When did Peter Max paint my office?
Back about 1985, I had a job training teachers at a school how to use a PC. It was supposed to be an intro class on DOS, how to format a floppy, copy files, list files. It was one hour, twice a week, and I don't remember how many weeks, but not a great number. There were a couple of people there that honestly wanted to learn about computers. But, there were some that came in with a closed mind and an attitude problem. One woman was determined to be as unpleasant as possible.
The program was run through a local Vo-Tech school, not the school system, as a pilot program. So, when the teachers wanted to learn DBase and whatever the word processor of the day was, instead of the intro stuff, the Vo-tech rolled over for them. It was a disaster. The ones that "knew" they were smarter than anyone else monopolized the computers, argued with everyone that tried to help them with problems, and made the class a living hell for all.
To their credit, the Vo-tech backed me when the cast-iron bitch complained, pointing out that she was the one that wanted the advanced material in an intro class, but when asked to teach again, I declined. I stuck my finger in the fan, I am not going to put my head in the meat grinder.
There are some good teachers in the system, but they are overshadowed by the egotistical head-cases. These people are on some kind of power trip, and they pick teaching because they can abuse the kids emotionally and the kids don't have the tools to fight back effectively. Most kids just know how to get mad, and when that happens the teacher has won. These same teachers pull this crap on IT people out of habit, because most IT people are younger than the teacher in question. I don't like having my buttons pushed, so I try to stay out of educational IT.
Great. This thing will siphon your fuel tank, and if that fails, threaten to eat your cat unless you hand over the charge card for the local service station.
What will it do when it figures out WE are biomass?
First, I am not a cellular tech weenie, and I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I have had to learn some of this stuff over the years in self-defense, and what I understand is that to increase the call capacity in an area there are three main things that can be done. One, use sectorized antennas; two, add towers and turn their power down to create a larger number of smaller cells; three, add to the number of links to the terrestrial network.
I don't have a car analogy, but think of it like this: You can light up a room with a single 300 watt bulb, but you get more even light with a string of twelve 25 watt lights evenly spaced around the room.

Didn't she make films with John Holmes?
Unless you get everything right. Go look up the English translation for Mauna Kea. They do have snow skiing in Hawaii.
I don't miss the flyback whistle either. I can no longer hear the actual tone, but it did make the tinnitus more irritating.
You need a monitor with a TnA panel.
I agree. Google Earth is no longer on my machines.
I bet you hate those newfangled electricity-driven computers too
Hey, my computer is diesel driven, you whatever!
OK, he's an idiot.

"..swing it in both directions..."
Wasn't he on Comcast in Tucson over the weekend?>/p>
Well, not everywhere everywhere.

Either the Vatican are hedging their bets, or they're on to something the rest of us don't know (yet).
They have seen the jet planes.
This also means that the autumnal equinox in 4004 BC was somewhere around the end of June.
Well, that explains the whole global warming thing. It doesn't really get hot in the northern hemisphere for a couple more months!

Porn actors.....
"Get him a cell-phone!"
They do say that make-up sex is the best.
I dunno. Eye liner bottles are too small, and foundation and blush make me itch.
"{Sir|Ma'am], are you now, or have you ever, been considered an idiot by some, or all, of your constituents?"
I ask this of all my elected officials. So far, it is 100 percent "no."
...that's a big Venus!
He works for every administration. At some point, they all go to him for something.
I'm waiting for them to re-imagine Quark into a new TV series..
Probably turn Ficus into Mother-in-law's Tongue.
Hmph. Not only is their stock low, but the only one in the picture is obviously past his sell-by date.

Everyone in my office beliefs you are correct, and we have nothing to loose by saying so.
