I used to think this, but the difference in interest rates amounts to so little money over the term of the loan that it might be worth it to let the dealer take care of the legwork instead of wasting time doing the DIY loan thing.
Think about this in Kantian terms. If everyone was to not have any children, our country would cease to exist and we would be overrun by our enemies. Therefore, the childless route can only be an exceptional choice made by a minority of people.
IMHO such people are shirking an important responsibility to society; especially the smart ones. The Bible writers had it right-- go forth and multiply!
Please nobody tell the California bureaucrats about the Sun and skin cancer. It might cause the state government to go bankrupt trying to devise a way to put a warning sign on it. On the other hand, it might deadlock like the computer in War Games!
Do what I call the Balboa Exercise Program. Forget machines, run around the streets, randomly do pushups, pullups or situps to the side, randomly grab a heavy log to carry on the back while running, run up stairs, and--of course--finish your workout with a burst of sprinting ending at the top of the local mountain!
Hear, hear. You know, I thought there was more depth and character development in the 40 or so minutes of Dr. Horrible than in the last 10 superhero-comic-ripoff action flicks.
You're right, he's just one man. They can always find another CEO to run the company, it's the engineers that make the product! Heck they could even bring on the CEO from, say, Cocacola or something.
This argument comes up a lot; I guess it has a lot of appeal for the geek types, who started out early, tinkering with their {Atari|Commodore|Apple|Spectrum}, learning to program, etc. Sugar is almost exactly aimed at those types of kids. But I can't help but think that such users are a minority, and that the effort is lost on most others. When I think of average kids in my grade they would probably just stare blankly when told about "source code" and go send penis pictures to each other or something.
The incentives are wrong; the problem with digital is that it costs the operator almost nothing to add more channels by dropping the overall per-channel bitrate. At least with broadcast TV the channel allocations are pre-defined so there is a little more of a bar (but like TFA says there is still funny stuff going on behind the station).

Heh cost of financing is not quite *that* high.
Hi honey, I got you this fabulous graphite ring. It lasts longer than a diamond! Will you marry me?
It means if your level 10 cleric dies, you get to start your new campaign with 1 million gold coins.

Gee, I hope that he doesn't double the short term capital gains tax!
Women in wet shirts? Hello? :)
Awesome! Let's come up with a brand name. How about 'naive' backwards?
I second that. Remember: once you get into great shape nobody will know or care what you used to look like.
Go go gadget k5 flashback :) Love your fiction sir!

Why not make it illegal to talk about the movie? There could probably be a copyright basis somehow, and apparently it does hurt the business.

Used to be they beat up the freshmen with assembler, C, and vi, and they liked it. Not sure if they pussified the curriculum since then...
Yeah but a 100 million here, a 100 million there and pretty soon you're talking about real money!

Cisco should start selling Childs-proof routers! *rimshot*
You must switch to version control, urgently!
In Soviet Russia, the f... article reads you!
Just run the software on a monitor with mechanical pixels. You know, like those oldschool signs in train stations and airports.
Dude didn't you know? They have artesian gasoline wells over there!
Who else has the fabs to compete with Intel? IBM? TI?
