MicroSoft: Sure Mr. motherboard manufacturer, you can include our keys in your bios for $10. Charge the user $20. We make an extra ten; you make an extra ten; wink, wink.
And when we are talking about school teachers with accents, we are talking about young minds which are already straining to learn their new material, now we have to strain their minds further by making it more difficult for them to understand what is being taught? Which is worse? To ensure the best potential for student education or to coddle self-imposed linguistic handicaps of a smaller group of people?
But then you would have left this out which is your best point
I haven't seen anyone mention that Google's search results are targeted toward the user. For instance, when I search for 'heartbeat' I get Linux clustering results which is what I want. However, 'Pacemaker' still gives me predominantly medical results. Hope they get that one figured out soon. As far as shopping goes, I want to see Google's shopping results.
I think tailoring search results per user is part of the reason for Google's success.
Taxes can be used successfully to distribute wealth easier, even if you have an inefficient government doing the distribution.
From Wikipedia:
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularised by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program. The phrase summarizes the principles that, in a communist society, every person should contribute to society to the best of his or her ability and consume from society in proportion to his or her needs. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs.
No, dividends to not lower the stock price by the exact amount of the dividend
Absolutely incorrect. A stock's opening price the day after issuing a dividend is reduced by that dividend amount. They call it the ex-dividend price. I used to speculate in the stock market years ago.
Speaking of being double-dipped, has anyone noticed that taxes are added to tobacco and alcohol and then sales taxed on the total purchase price? Isn't the tanning tax ridiculous?
I agree but you shouldn't stop there. Banks and insurance companies are not 'too big to fail'. Once you reach the 'too big to fail' status there is no disadvantage to taking adverse risk since someone else will foot the bill for your failure.
Sorry. I took it that you were saying that you could not accomplish the ~/incoming thing using Linux. However your ID indicates you at least now how to shutdown Linux.
When a DC official asked the panel whether public key infrastructure couldn't allow secure internet voting, a panel member pointed out that the inventor of public key cryptography, MIT professor Ronald Rivest, was a signatory to the letter that had been sent to DC, urging officials there not to proceed with internet voting.
Just another example of our government ignoring the facts in favor of doing whatever they want.

Did you fix the kerning problem with A being after T like in INTERSTATE and TOTAL? (font-family:Arial,Helvetica).
I have 30 to 40 drives I need to destroy, I'm not sure they will want to give me that much C4.
Have you tried C4R.US?
Actually, basic channels for non-HD TV are no longer available over the air.
Incorrect! We get about ten channels, each with two or three sub-channels. We get PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. You would check out TV Fool.

The life expectancy in the US in 1935 was 58, in 2000 it was 74.
It looks like the retirement age started out with SS at 65 or 62 at half pay or whatever.
So they started a system that expected most people to die before collecting anything. How could people buy into this?
Is that how they can apply the word 'Security'?
Arrrg! Gotta clean the Mountain Dew of the monitor!
Sorta like the nuclear arms race and 'mutually assured destruction'; only the one who fires first doesn't necessarily gain the advantage.
Sounds like you're confusing BIOS with CMOS.

Sounds like version inflation to me.
They make a salve for that.
Of course. Any responsible citizen will call the cops after they've been mugged/raped/stabbed/shot/burnedwithfile/killed.
Amazing!
Sorry. I took it that you were saying that you could not accomplish the ~/incoming thing using Linux. However your ID indicates you at least now how to shutdown Linux.
Right, and now you can't save downloaded files to ~/incoming.
You obviously don't know how to use groups. On second though with an ID like yours you're obviously a troll.

What an oxymoron.
I think we should raise taxes to support this wonderful idea.
So contrary to what I frequently heard, and the ladies will agree with this, size DOES matter!

Why not just supply the user with a pail of K-Y Jelly?
LOL. That's a nice way of saying it.
