Yes, we should do our best to keep the planet clean and the habitable - but is stuffing $1.28T into this the best way to go about it? Couldn't the money be better spent on battery technology, nation-wide electrical fill stations, hyperloops, and other technology we have not even thought of yet (rather than paying someone like Kenya for carbon credits to excuse us using old polluting technology we can't afford to replace)?
Sounds great! But has the current U.S. administration that is jettisoning this agreement done or said anything that gives the impression that any savings would go to technologies like you described? Or does it sound like it just wants to feed more money into the status quo and let our environment and long-term wellbeing be damned...
It's definitely inoffensively neutral-flavored! I also have one in the morning in place of a food breakfast, but I can't imagine that a having a second one for lunch would ever fill me up enough to get through to dinner without some real food.
Why so? I mean, do your books lend themselves (no pun intended) to more people checking them out (ugh...) via that method rather than through a purchase?
...and yet guys who sit around memorizing and arguing passionately about statistics for rich athletes who they've never met and never will is considered perfectly normal.
Nope, those guys are considered world-class annoying dorks too...
Yeah, getting Xbox live isn't the problem, getting broadband is. No DSL available at my place, so my only option is paying Adelphia's exorbitant prices for a cable modem connection...
With sites like Magnatune and countless others it's just a matter of time before all true artists realize their best bet is to share and sell direct to fans. Two more years and that will be the prevailing model.
Funny, I remember hearing similar statements two years ago! Well, maybe eventually it'll happen...

Clarification: Amazon's payment system is not new; Monday's launch relates specifically to payments of recurring charges.
So does this mean we're gonna start getting Slashdot vanity pets at holidays? :)
Everyone who logs in on New Year's Day gets a "Red First Postling"!
I used to shoplift my college textbooks too...

If you have a family or SO that enjoys "movie night" - do them and yourself a favor. Go to the cinema.
Just don't forget to leave the camcorder at home - and if you have an extra child, be sure to sell them for popcorn money!!

Signal Strength is generally rated on a 125 point scale with Dish Network (100 points with DirecTV if memory serves)
Which means, of course, that the EchoStar satellite signals are "25% Stronger than the leading brand!!"
