There's plenty, if you know where to look and how to interpret the information. Probably the most important thing to understand is that there are always two sides to a coin.
Get rid of the meters, they deter business. Ask local business, which need parking, to take on a local 1% sales tax and use the money to improve the area including the addition of parking lots.
People who just dismiss this as unimportant "spam trapping" miss the larger picture. WHAT A PERFECT COVER FOR CENSORSHIP!!!
What this really highlights is that email provides have refused to fix email and rid us of real spam once and for all. It's not that hard. There are two ways the problem can be solved.
1) When you receive an email from an address that you have never received email from before they are automatically sent a response that requires them to verify they are human Using a captcha or some such verification. By doing so their original email will be passed on, otherwise it goes in the spam basket.
2) Penny exchange. It costs a penny to send an email, and the penny is given to the person receiving the email. So we all have plenty of pennies to use for our everyday emails, but it would cost mass spammers a lot of money.
Why is American business dying? Because our stinking rich business leaders are now a bunch of incestuousness nepotistic numb-nuts. Hiring Meg Whitman is such a bad idea that I half expect Mr. Packard himself to rise up out the grave and eat the board's brains (as little as they have between them).
HP is all but dead. Tablets are going to eat PC and printer sales and that will be that.
But what bothers me most is that HP is taking webOS, arguably the best platform out there, down with it.
You know, if they just put in some windows (hey light tubes too!), they could save a whole lot more money on lighting too.
It always amazes me walking into these huge stores in the middle of the day, and they have hundreds of lights on to make it as bright inside as it already is outside. How hard is this to figure out?
This is getting ridiculous. First the game consoles are locked down, then the phones, then the tablets and not they are ready to lock down the PCs too. How long did it take open source (Linux) to make headway? It never would have happened if this was in place.
I say, if this goes down, then a big "open sit-in" at Redmond is in order. It would be great, like a OSS conference/protest all wrapped into one. And it would send a a nice message to the rest of industry too!
Who told you this? The Truth is if we could harness all the sunlight hitting the Earth we would have over 11,000 times the energy needed to power the entire world today. If we put in the effort we could easily harvest.01% of that.
Look around. You think people can't be cruel and uncaring to apes. Look at what they do to other humans!
I think this movie was great. Among one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. The only thing I hated about it was the last line of the dialog. They should of cut that last line and let Caesar have the last say.
Err... you need to see the movie. It's nothing like that. The movie actually paints a very plausible picture. (okay, it takes a few liberties, but surprisingly few).
Italian artist Sara Pichelli, who designed Spider-Man's new look, added: 'Maybe sooner or later a black or gay - or both - hero will be considered something absolutely normal.’
It already is normal!
It's fools like this who can't get past racism and have to go and prove to themselves and the world that they most certainly are not racist by "racifying" everything.
Many peopleare under the false belief that big cars are necessarily less fuel efficient by a considerable factor. This is not true. Only two factors effect the gas millage of a large car vs a small car: weight and aerodynamics. On the first count, a large car is mostly large by the fact that there is more space within the car. Space doesn't weight anything. So the added weight to a larger car is not proportional to its' size, but is considerably smaller. To the second count, the design of the car has more baring on aerodynamics than the actual size. That car makers refuse to put wheel well covers on their cars and are marketing square boxes on wheels as "cool", tells you are you need to know about their considerations of fuel economy.
To sum up, it is not difficult for car makers to produce huge cars "that people want" that get 60mpg. The tech is there and the additional cost marginal. The problem lies with executives seeking every last penny in savings to pad their outrageous bonuses and oil companies that influence decisions across company boards that have no interest whatsoever in better mpgs.
We can expect these new standards to be overturned by the Republic President. And they know it.
He he. I applied for a job once at the USPTO. Way back when I first heard they had a backlog problem. I have 20+ years of experience in the software development field. But b/c I have no formal education their online application system qualified me as a G0 (yea, a G ZERO!). And hence no job for me... and no help for those dumb shits. Pathetic.
I only repeat this every single time the subject comes up, but no one ever seems catch on. I repeat...
Since online retailers must SHIP product they are at a disadvantage with brick-and-mortar shops. Moreover, requiring sales tax collection for every state of every online retailer would create undue burden on MANY THOUSANDS of small business sellers and drive them out of business.
If taxes must be collected on online retail, there is only one sensible place to lay the burden -- on shipping. The shipping companies are already well equipped to handle per-state pricing structures and already have the computer infrastructure to easily add to a new line item.
I think everyone is under estimating HP an letting Apple fanboys dictate the PR.
Here's the first think that will differentiate the TouchPad from the iPad: PRICE
Although the SRP is the same as the iPad, Apple doesn't discount. HP does. Expect to see the TouchPad for $50 less than SRP to be common place. And as production scales up expect deeper discounts. HP doesn't sell more computer than anyone else for no reason. While the hardware specs might not be quite a good as iPad2, at a better price point they will prove good enough --especially at the next issue comes into play...
Most of the speed issues are software issues and will be ironed out over the next couple point releases of webOS. As will the number of Apps available. By Christmas the outlook will be much better.
Also, expect HP to release more many models. Already there are rumors of a 64GB model and a 7" model. HP's ability to produce models is actually a little scary --have you ever looked closely at all the models of printers and PCs they role out? It's like three new models every quarter. I don't expect them to go that far with their tablets, but I would not be surprised to see a half-dozen more tablets and/or phones sometime during the next year or so.
And then there's webOS on the desktop. That's the next shoe to drop. Expect HP to replace the "splashtop" they now offer with a light version of webOS. Now all those HP computer buyer are getting used to webOS too. That can have a powerful effect in a couple of years!
Bottom line, all HP has to do is hang tough and they will make out. And they have more resources than anyone else to do just that.
I usually don't care for government getting involved in these things, but we have an epidemic here. Hundreds of thousands of cats and dogs are being put down every year in this country b/c of over population and lack of homes. It's not a laughing matter.
I think it should be incumbent on our government(s) to respect these lives, to realize they not only represent humans but all animals that live in their jurisdiction, and fix the problem! The first thing they need to do is provide 99% free spading and neutering and it should be illegal to breed pets without registering the births --which should cost some $. And breaking the law should result in hard punishments, like mandatory jail time.
Is anyone else starting to wonder if LulzSec is a government cyber false-flag op? "He" seems to be in too many places too quickly. I waiting the next foot to fall up on capital hill, calls for government monitoring of all IP traffic and mandatory online identities for everyone so stop the likes of LulzSec.
Let me tell you how economical rail is. I worked the numbers for the cost of HSR based on the highest est. cost of England's HSR per km, and compared it to the total cost of the automotive system here in Florida. Floridians spend billions to maintain thier roads each year, they spend billions to maintain their cars, they spend billions to purchase new cars, they spend billions to insure those cars, they spend billions to put gas in those cars and they spend billions to police and pay for all the injuries and deaths caused by those cars. (Not to mention subsidies to oil companies, and wars in oil rich lands). In the end Floridan's are paying many 10s of billions each year to have cars.
You had pick me up off the floor when I crunched the numbers for HSR and saw that Florida could replace every inch of it's 43,000 miles of state roads with HSR at an annual operational cost of approx 10 billion (less than twice what Floridans pay for road maintenance *alone*). Floridians could easily cover that out of regular tax revenue if they wanted to do so, and no on would ever have to pay for a train ticket to use it!

Don't mind 'em but it would help if they made the circles bigger.
Makes you wonder who is p(l)aying who?
I've said it before and I'll say it AGAIN:
Tax the shipping companies and you wouldn't have all these problems!!!
