My city of 150K has a dozen sales tax districts and four zip codes. Now multiply that by every city and town in the US. Think it is going to be that easy to figure out?
Look fucktard, the planet is slowing dieing, and people like you are hurrying about the process. We have rice crops failing in Asia, fish stocks are dwindling, coral is bleaching out, and in general the oceans are becoming polluted acid mess. This is no exaggeration.
It was pain to pull my iPhone3 out of my pocket, size has nothing to do with it. Now that I am entering my 40's and on the verge of needing bifocals, a larger screen is almost a necessity. Being able to glance at my wrist when a notification comes in is nice.
Frosted glass windows in the office barely let me know if it is sunny out. Today it is 47 degrees, last week it was 70. Knowing if I need to grab a jacket when I head out to lunch is nice.
how can you make meaningful changes if you do not measure what you are changing? Fitbits and the like are great at measuring exercise, then one can have a useful set of data when one makes changes to their habits. For me doing little things like parking further away and using the Bathroom on the far side of the building instead of the one that is 20 feet away has made a difference.
It is also nice to get notifications on my wrist instead of being that annoying guy whose phone chimes all the time.
Most debit cards are backed by Visa/Mastercard, so you still have the protections. Go with a good bank, or more likely credit union, and get the same redeemable points.
Actually reports I have read, say they believe one of the shooters is an employee who had left earlier in the day due to an argument. that surely sounds like a disgruntled employee to me.
Mandrake, the company, made some bad business decisions. They brought in some American MBA's and started branching into some stupid directions like E-learning.
It depends on the school. When I lived in the Midwest and Northeast, were the typical institutional meals- burgers and chicken nuggets, and pizza made from cardboard. In Louisiana, they had real southern cooking in schools. There can be good meals in public schools, but most places do not do it.
There is also the issue that some people have a gene, that if expressed, makes broccoli taste bad. For me, eating broccoli is like eating moldy food. I am just not going to eat broccoli no matter how hungry I am.
As far as Okra, try it fried or with stewed tomatoes.
Yeah, what of all the Carrier and Vendor pre-installed crap. It all sits right there next to the Google apps. No one uses them because they are crap.
I remember an old phone (Infuse I think) where there was an AT&T map application that required some monthly fee to use. Who would use that when there was Google Maps sitting right next to it. I ended up using Waze instead.
Look at what the industry was like 10 years ago. You paid out the nose for a custom ring tone. Remember those locked in app stores? Google's insistence on forcing the vendors to install their stuff is why there is an open market today.
Apps aren't the blocking element for the switch to Linux. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's the ability to recover relatively painlessly that is lacking in Linux. As for apps, there are hundreds of business specific ones (TimeMatters for the legal profession, Photoshop for graphic artists, Final Cut Studio for film makers, and so on) the open source alternatives for these are woefully lacking - most don't exist and if they do they are pale imitations of the originals (GIMP vs Photoshop... there's just no comparison). First and foremost, something like the MS KB system for errors with the OS rather than 3rd hand forum jockeying. Remote & trusted diagnostics/fixes that do not reset personal settings. Online anti-virus/malware/etc akin to Panda Software's old 'Active Scan' so that when stupid user syndrome hits it can be dealt with *without* having to lock my system down with every anti-whatever under the sun.
Once it's easy to recover, people like me will make sure the people around us switch and with userbase come the app developers.
CorelDraw (and the companion app) were really nice programs. There was even a version proted to Linux back in the day. Problem was, they were not Photoshop. Does not matter how good the program is, it does not have the UI of Photoshop so people complain.
You want a Vendor supplied knowledge base? You mean like http://rhn.redhat.com/ ? Satellite, Puppet, or Chef can all automate and remote administrate machines. I am not aware of remote scanning for Linux, but not really needed if you enable SElinux.
None of this is available for cheap home use. If you want cheap, go do a web search for a solution to your problem.
Some features are great, and not everyone wants the same exact set.
I love the Pandora App. It is essentially a shortcut: Car stereo connects via bluetooth to my cell phone, start Pandora on my Cell, then play the most recently selected station on Pandora. I do not need to pull out my cell phone and mess around trying to get it to sync and start playing some music streaming app.
Just use Evernote. If you really want a client on your computer, and the web interface is not good enough, the Windows client will run in wine on Linux.
Old news, my company started it last year. It is an optional program, but you are necouraged as you get a free fitbit, and money if you hit certain goals.
Calories matter, but source of Calories matter almost as much. Starch and sugars (Carbs) raise insulin levels. Insulin not only helps are bodies burn glucose, but at high levels of insulin, convert glucose into fat.
Low carb diets take advantage of low insulin levels to keep the body from converting food into fat storage. Other processes help too, such that fat, protein, and fiber take longer to process so keep on feeling satiated longer. One still needs to track food, but it becomes easier.
It is much easier to feel full eating a small salad, an 8oz steak and a side of steamed asparagus then it is to eat a 4oz steak and baked potato even if the two have equal amounts of calories. The former is also more nutritionally complete and keep insulin levels low.
I read a credit card just by looking at the front of the card. I generally use a piece of technology to read the card- glasses.
A few years ago, I used a credit card at a Restaurant, and the waiter must have copied down the number as a week later, I get a Call from Visa Fraud Prevention. Someone was using my card across the State from where I live. And they were swiping a card at gas stations. It is not really necessary to read the mag stripe to steal a credit card number.
This is why I use a Visa or MasterCard, so I am protected when someone steals my card number. It is going to happen eventually, as it is way to easy to copy down someone's number and reuse it.
The Volt has a pressurized fuel compartment, so the gas is good for up to a year, and the computer in the car alerts you when the gas has not been used and to turn on the engine.
On the coldest day last year (sub 0F), my Volt had about 25 miles range. In the spring, with mild temperatures, I can get 40 miles. In the summer, with temps up to 100F, I get about 35-37 miles. It drives fantastic on the snow, as the batteries provide even weight distribution and a low center of gravity.
I am never concerned about range, as I have a tank of gas as backup. I try to avoid using gas, not only to be green, but I am a cheap bastard and do not want to spend 3 the fuel cost for gas.

The states with more burdensome tax code do have a problem with getting retailers to open up new stores.

Unless it is government, then they charge the individual the fee.

The new nooks are just Samsung tablets with some Nook software. So whatever you could do with the base Samsung table you can still do.
The reason to buy the nook tablet, is a) cheaper or b) for the non-tech savy: lifetime support.
Unless you bought a Nexus device, most of the issues you mention are the fault of the Vendors and the carriers, not Google.

Actually, in some circumstances, leaving your car or house unlocked is considered an attractive nuisance, which is a crime.
I work at HAL. The lay-offs had nothing to do with the fitbit program, The lay-offs have a lot to do with performance or salary.
Really?

You need Mr. T as a Dark Elf Mohawk.
