There's no need to completely resurface the parking lots. Just trench out where you want to bury the lines and repave over the trench. This is a fairly common method of accessing and adding to underground infrastructure.
For example, the overhead lines in my neighborhood got buried about 2 years ago. They ran a small ~2ft wide trench on one side of the road to bury the wires and just repaved over that.
You seem to have misunderstood me. I am not arguing that porn should be outlawed. I find that a very stupid idea.
I was presenting an alternative to your anecdotes of strippers that have been very successful. I'm just saying that it isn't necessarily a ticket to success. I have no concern if a woman decides to try that career, and it certainly isn't up to me to stop her.
It's different because if you have a job that pays you a very generous amount and requires close to no intelligence at all to do, you are far less likely to manage your finances well.
It's also different because when they find themselves broke, they can't go back to this job. They lose the physical traits that allowed them to make money with age.
I'm not trying to excuse the lack of personal responsibility. I'm just saying, if you take someone with no clue how to handle money, give them a way to make large amounts of it in a short period of time after which they will no longer be able to make that money, the results will be less than stellar.
Yeah, it is ridiculous to think they would scrap all the code for every version. He does have a point though. Unlike an OS, an application only needs to open the file formats, so certain functionality can be totally rewritten if needed. There is no inertia from inter-operability with other applications slowing the rate of change of the codebase.
The code is not going to be rewritten every version, but it certainly can change faster than OS code.
All that said, I've known a number of women who stripped their way through college, to wind up with a decent education, and successfull careers. (Granted, a large percentage had serious drug habits, but that should not reflect on those that didn't and saw an easy way to separate men from their money for their benefit.)
I hear this a lot. Has anyone studied what effect this has on these women. That is, stripping their way through college must have some effect on how these women deal with men. They aren't like a guy that goes to a strip club sparingly and thinks nothing of it afterward. They have to deal with these guys every day at work. If anything, I imagine these women "objectify" men and start to treat them as a source of money that can be tossed aside when finished. This is all conjecture on my part, but this could be a subtle personality change that these women are subject to. Not exactly a violation of their rights, but possibly not a learned behavior that they would want.
The laws of physics. There's no free will term in f=ma.
Although I understand what your point is, that the mathematical laws of physics control the world and free will isn't a factor in them, Newton's second law is hardly the universal law of all physics. I would phrase this argument differently to avoid people going off on tangents about Newtonian physics.
We've all heard stories of professional athletes (making far more money than strippers) that have blown through all of their money and are dead broke. I'm sure there are plenty of strippers that do the same.
If a woman has the discipline to save and invest money it can work out alright. If they don't they can find themselves like many athletes, broke without the physical traits needed to make that kind of money anymore.
no, your blanket statements are wrong. You don't give any indication of the conversion processes used. Combustion of chemicals for kinetic energy is a lot different from the fuel cell conversion of chemical energy to electric energy that is used for motion.
That's exactly the same way, if you were actually looking to go fishing in Russia and didn't somehow didn't know about the rather large country in between the US and Russia.
How large a country can you fit in 6 miles of distance?
the audacity to label transgendered people as 'abominations'.
Really, what's so audacious about labeling people that have their bodies modified to try and change their gender as 'abominations'. Where's the line for you? What if somebody gets a dick grafted onto their forehead, because they've always felt that they were a penis unicorn, is that not an 'abomination'?
I have no problem with accepting people that are attracted to the same gender, or if they want to dress and act like the other gender. They are just being who they are. Surgically and hormonally altering your gender is trying to be something you are not. Just learn to accept who you are.
People like you are what's wrong with organized religion and one of the primary reasons of why I am atheist.
This is definitely a valid opinion, but It's not necessary to be an atheist to have issues with organized religion. A group of people taking advantage of people's faith does not necessarily mean that that faith is wrong. I'm not trying to support theism or atheism, just trying to point out that organized religion is not necessarily representative of the religious beliefs of that faith.
Drinkypoo is actually a Sasquatch. The hair is so thick and long that it completely buries and obscures the watch dial. The watches also tend to get broken in Sasquatch rage fits.
I know Apple has sold a lot of iPhones, but why would you limit the target audience of a watch device to only people with an iPhone? This watch device sounds iffy to me to begin with, I can't imagine that Apple would want to limit the pool of potential buyers at all by requiring an iPhone to configure it.
I wear a watch with luminous markings on the face when I'm stalking people at night. I can clearly tell the time, but it doesn't give my position away. A bright cell phone would clearly alert my potential victim to my location. Or perhaps more likely, I could check the time in a theater without bothering everyone around me.
It's well beyond just CBS articles. Are there comment posting bots that spew this retarded political commentary? It's the last idea I can cling to that the world I live in isn't really filled with these morons.
Except the US military gets to train with and test out a lot of new toys. The ability to get familiar with the weapons systems available to us is invaluable to the military.
I buy new games at used prices for PS3 regularly. By used prices, I mean a little under half the new price. Case in point, I just bought Borderlands for $25 at BestBuy. The difference between Steam and console games is that Steam games don't take up shelf space in a store so there is no limit to how many they can offer and how long they can sell them. Stores like BestBuy have only so much space for games and will want to stock the new games that are more likely to sell rather than 2 year old games.
For many people, a book or a game loses it's utility after one run through.
Not my fault they made games with no replay value. There have been many games that aren't like this. How many quarters did people continue to shove into Pacman machines?
A hamburger is something that you can't eat and then give to your friend to eat or else you won't be friends anymore. A game CAN be replayed, wether its fun to do it more than once is immaterial to wether it should be allowed to give away or sell.
And you're back to the original problem. People using insecure passwords because they can't remember strong ones. Forget remembering the password, how about even attempting to explain your concept of "line noise" in a passphrase to the average user.
What is the point you're trying to make. If the post office was not forced to pre-fund its pension plans, it would be making money. Regardless of the volume of first class mail, it would be making money.
Providing free products to be in a movie is a type of payment. The Businessweek article you linked to yourself states that they have kept inventory on hand to loan out to studios and that they helped promote the first Mission Impossible movie to get their products placed in it.

"270 mile range sounds fantastic (my car only gets 210 miles to a tank)."
You should get a better car.
Range on a full tank is not the sole determining factor of what cars are better.

It's a little late to get out now. It might be fine to hold at this point.
