If AT&T said, "deprive taxpayers of billions of dollars, and inhibit the growth of wireless broadband in the country." We know three things for sure:
1) Taxpayers will make billions of dollars off of this plan. 2) Wireless Broadband will explode across the country 3) You will not pay 50% of your bill in fees.
Or is the GAO the only part of the government that seems to be on the ball and manages to stay non-partisan? Is there some way we can replicate them to other branches?
Well, most of the bands on the OC are still churning out very successful releases. I would say that actually most of the bands that are selling to TV shows and Ads now are the bands that have very successful albums. I mean Moby has a few albums running around...
Yeah, you're wrong. There are lots of people who were "illegally downloading" music and now buy music. Now that Napster is (legally) free for 5 listens, I pretty much just listen to what I want first and then buy it if I like it. The fact of the matter is that there have always been leaches. In the 80s pretty much everyone had several tapes they had copied from a friend, just like pretty much everyone now has some mp3s they didn't buy legitimately. Everyone, though, had a "friend" or two who would copy every single tape every one of their friends had. These leeches are still around now. It's just easier for them to get lots of music, and it's become more socially acceptable. But they've always been around.
The problem is that the industry has been using those ultra-popular bands to bankroll their R&D artists (also called indie bands). The problem is that indie bands can get better support than the major labels can provide, so they're jumping ship. Thus the majors don't have the good indie bands, and they can't convince a sufficient number of people to buy American Idol albums to stay solvent. That's their problem.
Right they want to prevent fraud, but they don't want your credit report fixed. Those are two separate ideas. Preventing fraud makes them more money by helping their brand. Not fixing your credit report means that you get offered credit at more profitable rates which helps them make money.
I'd highly recommend Maxed Out. It's on Netflix's "Watch Now" so you can... uh... watch it now.
Which is more likely? #1. You'll only get stuck with about $50 worth of charges if you report it missing right away. The poor merchants on the other hand.
Yes, we are all aware that Clinton pardoned many people his last day in office. Most presidents do lots of pardons their last days in office. The point of the above poster was at least if things go normally we are not in Bush's last days in office.
Yes, they feel sorry for our nation because you make comments like:
"Dont feel sorry for some European nations (Im not even going to name them) despite the fact people die waiting to see a doctor there its their health care system and for whatever reason they like what they got."
Because socialized medicine is the only system where people die waiting for treatment. In the US we just deny them, and they die knowing they can't get treatment. I'd prefer waiting with hope, to waiting with none.
Why is this false hope? A cure for one type of a disease generally leads to better understanding, and the ability to focus on other parts of the disease.
You could accuse them of giving false hope if they were recommending feeding autistic children 7 gallons of cod liver oil, or some other snake oil cure. But an advance in real science should inspire real hope that we can completely solve this puzzle some day.
Um... doesn't your light consume energy? Wouldn't having artificial lights for all those plants be fairly inefficient? People don't seem to realize that the transportation of all this food is actually really energy efficient. We transport so much, packed so well, that when you split it across all that is shipped the cost is negligible. Driving to the grocery store to buy the food generally takes more energy than getting all the food you bought hundreds of miles to the grocery store. Counter-intuitive, but true.
If you're interested the Austin Contrarian has done the math on how expensive this food would be.
I don't see any exceptions in the dictionary for electronics. I do see that cars are sometimes considered antiques after 25 years. But these aren't ads for antique cars.
I've washed two keyboards by putting them in a bathtub, and letting them air dry for a few days. They worked for years afterwards.
That said you probably shouldn't be sterilizing your keyboard. It's a good thing to keep bacteria around that gives your immune system a light workout, if you're working at a computer all day.
Antique ads! Cool! I wasn't aware there were a lot of computers being advertised prior to 1907. Are these ads advertising the services of pools of women who can take on tasks such as counting the number of Sears and Roebuck catalogs that were shipped?
They are saying that they get all the spectrum devoted to public safety, and they will give some of it back if they get the contract. I'm guessing some of their competitors are planning on using the whole spectrum for non-public uses. Therefore they're playing this card to try to get a leg up in the sale of the spectrum.
"However, these actions could eventually lead to drivers licenses issued in these states to not be accepted as official identification when boarding airplanes or accessing federal buildings"
Yeah, cause entire states are not going to be able to buy plane tickets or enter federal buildings. I see that happening... I mean after all it's not like the airline industry has any lobbyists in Washington, and it's not as though the federal government will notice if suddenly all their employees in a given state stop showing up for work. I think we'll see that law either repealed or changed before we see entire states being told they can't fly...
If you need to manipulate science (and reality) to make your God fit into it, then your God is too small and weak and you are a fool for worshiping it.
This makes sense to me. And makes it less of a headache for me to manage my music. Of course, I'm one of those wackos who tries to purchase all of his music.
This means I can easily go through my collection and find music that I've borrowed from my friends and delete it if I decide it's not something I want to purchase. It also means I can tell the difference between what I have purchased and what I haven't. I have almost 8000 legal mp3s, so keeping track of them is no longer trivial.
RFID has no built in power. It's passive and power is radiated from the reader. So, yup, you could easily put it on a sticker (in fact I believe this is what most RFID enabled stores do).
Ahh... I wonder if this is a case where there are no union shops. And considering the other major vendors are already firmly ensconced at walmart... it will be interesting to watch.

I do listen to singles by "bad" artists. But most of the music I listen to was made by good artists who have good albums.
Well, most of the bands on the OC are still churning out very successful releases. I would say that actually most of the bands that are selling to TV shows and Ads now are the bands that have very successful albums. I mean Moby has a few albums running around...
Sounds like you just listen to a lot of singles by shitty artists. Most of the artists I listen to make really good albums.

Sherman what? Unless the recording industry starts selling green products I wouldn't worry about them being able to do whatever the hell they want.

Yeah, but if the people paying are the people drafting the legislation, I'd say that the price is definitely right.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you're against gun control. And pro-irony!

I thought Dell had a pretty anti-union track record. They're a Texas based business (right to work state). Am I wrong?
