they were total gypsies, and they screwed the landlord for about $5000 in total
"total gypsies"? Were they actual gypsies? I heard that the common phrase to "gyp" someone is a derogatory reference to gypsies. Like saying someone "jewed" you.:-\ I've stopped using the phrase "gyp" since then..
I recommend using Google to search MSDN. Just add "site:msdn.microsoft.com" to search MSDN (or "site:support.microsoft.com" for KnowledgeBase articles). The MSDN search engine is worthless!
Maybe those American companies will move entirely offshore. Or maybe those American companies (required to pay higher US salaries, benefits, and taxes) cannot compete with non-American companies? Those scenarios have 0 American jobs.
That's probably because a legit business would have to pay taxes. If you pre-tax business revenue equals your post-tax salary, then your business is paying you LESS money.
I was about to say Findory.com is a rip-off of Memigo.com, but then I saw the mention of Memigo technology in your About page.:-)
I love Memigo and read it daily. My only complaint is that it is has poor usability because of its power-user focus. Findory.com looks like it is a bit more usable.. though the site could use a little face lift:-) Good luck!

he replied, 'I've been out of work for a year, I have a wife and three kids and we're hungry.' He fit most of the qualifications for the position fairly well, but that was the answer that swayed our interview team's vote.
Good thing all the other candidates were already employed and were robots who didn't need food. Don't you think the other applicants had families and hungry mouths to feed? Why else would they be interviewing for a job?
In most social situations, it's far better to be overdressed than underdressed. My office has a laidback dress code. If an interviewee wears a suit, I don't look down on him. He's just trying to impress. If an interviewee wears jeans and a stained t-shirts, then I know he doesn't care very much (because he didn't "tart" himself up). That given, if Mr. Stained T-shirt was damn brilliant, I would still hire him.
I concur. I bought a Dell Latitude laptop last year. Right out of the box, the screen was dead. They sent someone out to replace the mobo (video card was built-in). Repair person bent mobo #2's pins, had to come back the next day with mobo #3. Three months later, the hard disk dies. Support person thinks I might need to upgrade my BIOS, which obviously fixes nothing. They sent a new hard disk (which I had to install my self) and all my data on my old hard disk is forever lost..
After rebates, I paid about $550 for my Tivo box, including lifetime subscription. Is the DIY hardware more or less expensive? For all the time and trouble, I think it would be difficult to save money. The only advantage over Tivo is that you are free to do whatever you want with your MythTV box (and recorded TV shows;-)
the electoral college was put in because STATES elect the President, not the people.

H.R. 3162 was passed on Roll Call 398 in the House of Representatives on October 24 by a vote of 357 in favor, 66 against and 9 members not voting. The partisan split was 211 Republicans voting in favor, 3 casting no votes and 5 not voting. There were 145 Democrats supporting the bill, 62 voting against and four not voting. There was one Independent voting in the affirmative and one voting against the bill.
no, you are thinking of the Libertarian Party. The GOP is a group of religious fundamentalists and Big Brothers. They are in favor of states' right only if the states agree with the Bush administration (pro-Drug War, pro-spam, anti-choice, anti-gay rights).
thank you! Those are great. I've always wanted an alarm clock that would wake me with a soft womb-like "whooom... whoooom..." noise, gradually increasing in volume until I hit snooze.
but the gub'mint makes lots of money from sales tax of those video tapes. The adult film industry makes about $12 billion in annual revenues, which is about the same as the (non-adult) movie theater ticket sales each year.
California's native grasses, which covered thousands of square miles, virtually all the entire coastal ranges and Great Valley, were perennial. They had deep roots and stayed green for much of the year (many all year) and served admirably to prevent erosion.
Grasslands in California are among the most endangered ecosystem in the United States and in California are on the decline. An area of approximately 7,000,000 ha (about 25% of the area of California) has been converted to annual grassland dominated by non-native annuals primarily of Mediterranean origin. Conversion to non-native annual vegetation was so fast, so extensive and so complete that the original extent and species composition of native perennial grasslands is unknown, however the prairies of California contain many elements of the original habitat.
Native grasses are interesting characters. They can be amazingly old. A bunch of purple needlegrass might live as long as 1,000 years. As one of the old Californios, they deserve our respect as tough survivors. Using roots that extend up to 18 feet, they tap into nutrients and water found deep in the soil, and so remain green even in the hot, dry months of fall.
EVANSVILLE, Indiana (AP) -- Fear of mad cow disease hasn't kept Cecelia Coan from eating her beloved deep-fried cow-brain sandwiches. She's more concerned about cholesterol than suffering the brain-wasting disease found in a cow in Washington state last month.
yeah and the non-native planet with no competitors (as forest cover burned away) grows uncontrollably, thus blocking the return of the native plants. Even if the non-native plant "terminated" itself after one season, it could be a big problem.
This same thing happened in California. California used to be green year round, but grasses accidentally imported from Spain took over. That's why California's hills are dead and brown most of the year.

If both parties are stinkin' liars, then we can assume:
1. The Republicans did NOT tell the Democrats.
2. The Democrats WERE told.
well, Mormons are not supposed to drink caffeine, so his Classic Coke was indeed "defiant."
The applause for "Key provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire next year" was predominantly by the Democrats
You mean the same Democrats that voted for it??

she isn't a very good reporter.
A programmer gets daily, if not hourly or minute-by-minute feedback on the quality of his thought process.
I've come to be very skeptical of taking the word of a scientist based solely on his being called a scientist.
Why do you assume the science-ignorant reporter is a woman, but your programmers and scientists are men?
