So your argument against someone protecting their home and family is...You might want to break into someone's home, with out knocking, to save them from a garage fire.
LOL
Do you really think that they would be waiting, armed, in a house that's on-fire for you to try and enter? Wouldn't you, like, try knocking first???
If your arguing against allowing people, even homeowners, to setup booby-traps then I'm with you. If you saying there shouldn't be "Make my Day" laws then you and I are definitely on differing sides.
A 12%-14% overhead is not extremely low. For some charities, I have seen overhead at 1% and up. In fact, I'm not sure I have ever given money to a charity that was above 10%.
While I have to agree that VB can do most of the things needed for small to medium sized offices, there is still one thing that bugs the crap out of me:
On Error Resume Next
I have a real problem which allows you to by pass all exception checking without a thought. Hell, the worse program I saw in VB had "On Error Resume Next" on every fourth line of code.
As to your comment It would have taken me a lot longer to accomplish the same task using C++ or any other widely used language. I'm willing to bet that is because VB is your primary language. Where as, if C++ was your primary language you would say the exact opposite.
The way they ship their product tells alot about the company. Packing materials, boxes, and shipping costs are easy spots to cut costs. And the ones whom truely care about keeping customers will have good packaging, EVEN if its costly.
Quote: My biggest concern is the RFID now embedded in cash. The new US 20$ dollar bills have an RFID chip in them (located in Jackson's eye),...
Umm, I call bullshit.
Beyond the fact it would be prohibitively expensive to put RFIDs in cash, primarily due to the sheer amounts of cash being printed and current prices of RFIDs. You would be able to see it if you held the 20 up to the light, because RFIDs are not to the microscopic size (yet).
Now if you said it was in the strip containing the denomination, I couldn't call bullshit. As its possible, just highly, highly improbable.
To a marketer, 60% is just 10% more than 50%, so that's pretty close (those with more than third grade math will, of course, note that 60% is 20% more than 50%, but I wouldn't even attempt to explain that to a communications major for fear of encountering glazed-eye syndrome).
Hah. I will trade you a DBA for that Comm major.
I once had to explain the concept of adding a negative number to a positive number, and why 1 + (-1) = 0 instead of 2. I found it very scary when that DBA got the "glazed-eye syndrome".
Hell, I spent my four in as a 4067 (Mainframe Programmer, only I was a PC Programmer) 97'-01'.Got out 1 month AFTER 9/11, scary.
I would have to say that it can be fun, if you take it for what it is.
That said, in four years of programming and dba work, I saw some of the stupidest things. Like a friggen 8 year Sgt who couldn't program his way out of a wet paper bag (but damn could he PT). In fact, that Sgt took 1.5 YEARS to do a simple MP tracking app, that another Cpl took 2 weeks to do.(they chose the Cpl's app HAHAHA). Also, you have what I call "Run fast, Shoot good" NCOs. These type of Senior NCOs and Staff NCOs are the ones who can PT really well, shoot expert on the rifle range, and not know a DAMNED thing about computers. And yet they get promoted like mad. They decide stupid shit, like telling everyone (including Generals) that a TEST system on a shared dev server is in production. WITHOUT TELLING the lowly Lances and Privates that maintain it.
And like someone already posted about the USMC, you spend a lot of time in useless crap, and I was base. You have rifle range, where you see women who couldn't hit the broadside of barn being "helped" by senior NCOs; NBC training, which is a friggen joke; PT , which can be a god send or just a waste of 10 hrs a week; Various Quotas, which mean being away from the shop for weeks to months on end; And my favorite, cleaning the office, "JUST BECAUSE" for up to 25 hrs a week (during business hours);Etc etc. On top of all that they set deadlines that can not be moved, which usually means weekend work. If you doubt what I'm saying Google for the Joke "Top 10 Reasons Why Working at McDonalds is better then the Marine Corps", and remember that every line of that Joke is based in USMC reality.
All in all, the people can be some of the best people you will ever know. And things can be fun if you take a good outlook on it. But, shit, I made more money, NET,in my first 6 months at my current job, then I did GROSS from my last year in.
HAHAHAHAHA HAHA HAHAHA. Damn I think I pissed my pants a little. HAHAHAAHA HA HA HA . Ok, I'm better now.
HAHA HAHA.
Second, At what point in your life were you promised, that just because you made a buck today, that you would make another buck tomorrow doing the same thing?
Huh? I would really like to know. So that way, the rest of us can get in on it.
People like one of my friends who made a nice salary as a DBA of a large bank, but was laid off due to the economy. Or the rest of the IT world that was a major purchaser of your "music" before they all lost their jobs. Or how bout people like my mother that had to work a dead end job for 8 years just to put food on the table for me and my brother and sister.
You are one big Troll and in dire need of someone to bitch-slap your ass.
You indigent little shit.

BTW, since Rush's 1st album came out in 1974 how is that the "late seventies"?
No,no. You misunderstood his meaning. He mean "late" as in dead,pushing up daisies,decomposed, etc.
And I, for one, have to agree. Death to Disco! Death to bellbottoms! Death to cheesy 70's hairdos!
20,6% VAT, actually.
And the insane use of a comma for a decimal point.

Still got you beat. While enlisted in the Marine Corps, I had acculmulated (sp) nearly 90 days of leave (vacation). So I took like three months off within the space of 7 months. It was the easiest months in.
Isn't the FBI stretched really thin as it is? Unless a lot of money is involved, they won't look at you twice. Are they going to run down every college student in the country who is sharing a few MP3's? No.
I have the feeling it will be more along the lines of commericals that show Modonna (sp?) crying in her mansion, or show Marshall Mathers cursing in his strech limo. And then in big bold letters "Everytime you download a song without paying for it, you take a diamond from Modonna and make Marshall drive his benz instead of a limo..."
I have to agree. Even for me, someone that was introduced to Metallica with the "Black Album", I found only a couple songs on "Load" that I liked, and even fewer on "Reload". I have yet to hear "St. Anger" , but where do I go to legally hear the album? Either I have to buy an album unheard (mostly) or download it. Not a great choice...
Here's a different picture for you:
1. Do people choose cars based on safety?
or
2. Do they chose cars based on color/comfort/racing strip/stupid "fins"(a la 70's)?
