it only has to last until the next move. with people moving houses every 10 years or less on average ikea is a pretty good deal for the price they charge. why buy some expensive furniture that will be scratched up by the movers? and with kids everywhere ikea is awesome for the evil minions of hell that jump on furniture
most nations wont have air defenses to take on the planes even in 2040. and b-52's are good at carrying lots of air launched cruise missiles that can be launched 2000 miles from their target. negating any air defense capability
in the US we have something called double jeopardy. it says you can't be charged for the same thing twice. this includes filing new charges for the same action/offense. once you are found not guilty the government can only charge you again for something else you do/did
if this was Windows or some other piece of sold software then he would still be in jail
GS was using the code for internal use and not reselling it. interstate commerce does not apply then according to the court. because there was no commerce
you don't have to get your kid vaccinated in a lot of places. only thing is that he/she won't be allowed into day care, school and some other places where kids are together
so? why would i spend the exact same amount of $$$ on a laptop that does less than a similar spec'd laptop with a different OS
my ipad makes it comfortable for me to use a computer on my sofa, train to work and has a wide variety of applications that no one had dreamed was possible 5 years ago.
the chromebook seems to only be a web browser, something that is going the way of the dodo little by little
i was a CR-48 beta tester and never figured out the point of it. they look like laptops but the OS is gimped. yet cost the same as a netbook. what is the point of buying one?
the ipad does more which is why apple is selling every one they make
Mac's don't get viruses. it used to be magic pixie dust protected all the Mac's but my MacBook Pro and others bought since the death of St. Steve are protected by His Spirit
if you have regular income, you rent a home/apartment it's easy. you just fill out the EZ form or do it online and file electronically. depending on who your paycheck provider is they will even import the income data.
in the US we have lots of tax deductions for different things. student loans, child care, mortgage interest, buying specific cars, buying a home during a tax credit year, opening businesses in specific areas, stock and investment sales must be reported, interest and dividends have to be reported, and a thousands other things you may do will raise or lower your taxes during the year
except i don't want to fill out any forms. turbo tax takes the info i type in and makes up completed forms automatically. very nice when your tax returns are 50 to 100 pages like mine
no, the reason turbo tax costs money is they have teams of accountants translate new tax laws in every state into easy to fill out forms and the math functions behind them
the whole point of the justice system is to make the process so expensive that a company or individual will think twice the next time about committing a tort or not following the law
if there is no economic penalty then people will just break the law if it doesn't cost them anything
cell phones have this cool feature of unlimited minutes to cell phones on the same network and on nights and weekends. some carriers will give you unlimited minutes to any cell on any network
i can't remember the last time i have seen one. even the people in the housing projects mostly have smart phones now. only the old luddites don't have them
and by the late 1960's the USA was a toxic waste dump like china is today because people would build and screw the local communities. in the 1980's there was a smog haze over NYC that's not there today due to all the enviromental laws and advances in the last 40 years
in the USA we have these things called car warranties, so its the manufacturer paying for all these parts and services to the dealer.
there are two types of MB drivers. those who can really afford the car, and those who can't and just lease. I had a neighbor one time like that. renter, nothing to his name and yet he had enough money to pay $600 a month of a CK500 or whatever it was. until he got his girlfriend preggers and got rid of the car
DVD, bluray, 3GPP, JEDEC, the list goes on. you write a check, send in your patents or agree to license them cheap to anyone who asks and you are part of a standard
the trolls or whatever you want to call them want to be the standards body. why let a non-profit collect membership checks when you can start a PAE and do the same?
this is meant for the 20 something kid who shares rent of an apartment with roommates and spends all his/her money on eating out, partying and buying crap. this is just a way to get him to buy something as soon is it pops onto the glasses
for normal people with kids and jobs i don't see a point of wearing these
