Weird. My company went from offering direct deposit to requiring it a few years ago. Saved a fair bit of money, not having ADB (payroll company that supports a lot of business in the U.S.) have to print and send checks and pay statements out every other week.
Darn interventionist judiciary, bringing gov't involvement into business. They're tilting the playing field, making it more difficult for some business to succeed. When was the last time the gov't intervention ever benefited a company? They should stick to what they know and keep their noses out of the marketplace.
Even in art history (yeah, yeah, I'm an art school drop out who fixes Macs. Bite me!), the best teacher was the one that required us to sketch out each piece of art he talked about. He wasn't looking for drawing skill (was first year class) but required us to turn in our notes towards the end of the semester. You got marked down if you didn't have something down for each piece of art. Pretty good way to keep the students involved with the lecture. Also, 20 years later, is kinda' cool going back through that note book. Good gesture practice as well.
"I weep for you," the Walrus said: "I deeply sympathize." With sobs and tears he sorted out Those of the largest size, Holding his pocket-handkerchief Before his streaming eyes.

Yup, hard work and perseverance will get you a lot further than test skills. Am trying to raise daughter by praising her hard work vs how clever she is. Maybe she'll find life a bit easier down the road.
Yup. Most rich folks (>$1M worth?) have earned it themselves. You have to have a bit on the ball to make out ahead of average. Besides smarts, you also need drive and people skills. Luck and connections also help
A college buddy of mine is a good example. I was in MIS and he got his degree in construction management. 30 years later, he's now running his own company and is on the board of a local bank. It helps that he's a math wiz and is also very personable. He can get along with drunk construction workers and black tie socialites and seems to have a good time with both.
As for myself, I'm your typical anti-social geek with no people skills and so I'm stilling in a back room remoting in to computers all day long, fixing stuff. Meanwhile, he still calls me for tech help and recommendations. Of course, I'm a lot more laid back (lazy?) than he is so that could be part of it as well.
Yes! Bob Lassiter (radio commentator in 80's-90's) went on and on about how all the regular cultural divisive stuff (gun, abortion, etc) was just used to keep the electorate distracted while the rich consolidated their kleptocratic hold on the world. The rich (the real rich, that you don't really hear about) don't care what y'all think about such things, as long as the little folks keep toiling away producing money for them.
There's no left-right axis to anything. That's just an artificial gauge set up in the French revolution as a way of targeting folks for 'wealth transfer'.

In d minor?
D'oh! See what not getting a paper check does?
Though I do have some old Apple keyboards around.
Just don't look at any binary posts by 'uncle_buck'.
I don' know. Getting an xBox 360 for $100, that's cool. It'll still play all the regular xBox games, right? Will certainly hurt Nitendo's Wii sales.
Yeah, but they suck because they don't run their business exactly how I'd like them to run it, to my benefit. Darn them. Darn them to HECK!

Is why I have a bongo and tom-tom sound track playing when I speak.
Naw. I was just hoping for a funny tag.

Is why they didn't build it in Spain.
There's a tank of liquid nitrogen across the street but all I have is a regular sandwich. I guess that'll have to do.
A lot of times, Americans require a "sarcasm" tag so that they know their panties should not be in a wad.
With Tim Allen rolling, because it helps.
Sounds like it's an old centralized system, when having independent setups per light was too expensive/difficult.
Ah, I gave away my AD&D books, back in early 90's and have kept just the three brown books. And bought a lot of GURPS.
I only dropped out after 14 years. I kept changing majors every other year or so. I think it's called mid-term attention deficit disorder.

Point spent? Don't you just roll 3d6 for each stat and that's what you get?

I voted for Nader.
In 2000.
In Florida.
My bad.
Probably a good idea to GOTO 10.
