The exact reason I get paper bills. I deduct for home business, I need records. Plus, when you go paperless you have to go to their site and manually download the bill. It would be a different story if they emailed a secure PDF to you.
Mail me your paper-bills, I'll scan them and email them to you (they dont even email them to you). Charge is $5 per bill and that will save the environment even more because the price is higher!
Actually, I was thinking more like micro-payments to post longer tweets like 180 and 200 characters, or the additional of a thumbnail graphic. Unlike many of you, I'd love to see Twitter pull this off.
For the last 20yrs or so about half of the USA has been crying out for tax payer funded health care - essentially the magic pill for all their ills. This demographic is so eager for a quick solution, they seek salvation through pharmaceuticals. They will believe anything that comes in a pill bottle. Its practically a cult-religion! Its Hope. Its Change. Delivered by any effort other than their own.
Its a pretty meaningless report if one believes in the Big Bang Theory... Earth itself is created from debries of the universe, therefore EVERYTHING on Earth is found elsewhere in the universe.
And the crazy thing is that the Big Bang Theory doesn't even conflict with the Christian bible because the Bible doesn't say *how* everything was created. If God is the god described in the Bible - all knowing - then he would certainly know of a means to get the ball rolling with chain reaction, cycles, evolution, and mutation all from a single event. In fact, scientists claim the universe was created in less than a second - in an instant.
Seems to me the distance decreases exponetially, not linearly...
Note: the point of my initial comment was a solution to ending traffic jams. If you continue to guard your space as you seem compelled to do - you only contribute to the cause of the traffic jam. You are not going to get to your destination faster if you are at a stand-still. You also waste more gas and pollute more starting, stopping, and idling - no so ecco friendly for a Portlander.
From the Wikipedia entry on the 2 Second Rule "Driving instructors advocate that drivers always use the '2-second rule' regardless of speed or the type of road."
In order not to violate the anti-tailgating laws you need to be 1 car length (about 17") apart for every 5mph.
if you stay 2 secs behind at any speed, you will avoid tailgating and some unnecessary braking. Plus, you should always be able to see the tires of the car infront of you touch the ground.
sounds like they are including moving traffic as a jam. What I am annoyed at is the constant stopping. There is no reason to stop if people obey the 2 second rule, dont tail gate, and don use the brakes excessively. I am OK with moving steadily at 35-40 mph
This is supposed to be a liberal state, but those Democrats in Sac (and in San Francisco, and San Jose) keep passing laws that remove choice from every aspect of our lives.
The reall scary thing is that 955 deaths is nothing. Over 5000 people die each year in the bathroom. 995 deaths out of 320,000,000 population is nothing. 955 out of 42,116 auto deaths a year is nothing. About 720,000,000 children would live each year - surviving fetal mortality rates, infant mortality rates, and childhood mortality rates - if it weren't for abortion. Certainly not worth giving up your right to choose to have an abortion or to use a cell phone just to feed the tax-for-profit governments. Death and injury is going to happen no matter what precautions we take. If the deaths are really of a concern, we should ban cars all together and save many, many more people.
"implied that such a thing isn't wrong." Um, you inferred completely wrong. In fact, if you read my response as whole - all the sentences together state there are victims, and that the wrong can be over come by learning from another group who's attacked by words...
To some how think I approve of the behavior from what I wrote is completely ridiculous and also laced with fallacy.
LOL - why would you want to do such a thing and perpetuate the problem? Two wrongs is a fallacy of logic - your strategy is illogical.
The people who play the race card and wind up in the news tend to be racists themselves. Have you ever watched BET or black comedians on Comedy channel?
But is you really want control, you should get some thing like Concentric.com's scalable Managed Server. It allows you to control OS updates, customize the environment and put your own software on the server. Then at least you dont have to buy the hardware and bandwidth.

I doubt ashes from a computer fire are free of toxins...
I love cardboard. I have a blog about it. I have made dozen of homeware items out of it. But the last thing I want is a cardboard computer.

You can't trust the Democrats not to censor, either. Especially Democrats in online and IT positions.

And that's why Apple's secrecy is so important.

Change starts with you. Make Obama proud.
Actually, I think you have calculated backwards. At a slower speed a 2 sec gap is smaller.

LOL - you are comparing a private website - an opinion and words - a constitutional right to free speech ... to forced segregation!? Wow.
Or should I say, "What would Martin Luther King Jr do?"

Come on, make love - not hate.
Grow up. Its just words. The "victims" give the words power, not the racists. Learn from the gay movement.
Yes, and that is likely to happen, LOL. They should get the guy from the TV commercial to MC.
I only wish he had aimed for $100.00....
The irony is that old stuff like this has an arbitrary and subjective value anyways. The fakes are objectively worth the same amount.

LOL Thankfully Republicans and Democrats aren't everyone ;)
Democrats? Republicans? Or Both?
