I'm pretty sure if you accurately counted dollars and cpu cycles, open source software would show up in commodity business expenses a whole hell of a lot more than it would show up in households.
The never-meeting-the-guest and not-monitoring-the-accommodations are not intrinsic to the business model, they are choices the host made.
The not worrying about whether the host has proper insurance or the legal right to do short term subletting does seem to be a major component of the business model.
After this change, AT&T will be charging $0 for overages, with the caveat that the service isn't as good during the overage period.
I think the cell phone companies do very nicely for themselves, but to me, the people paying them a lot for crappy service are 50% of the problem, because there is no reason to offer better, cheaper service when people are falling all over themselves to pay for your expensive crappy service.
It really depends on how much mileage each vehicle gets. If the family car is going 50 miles a week and the commuter is going 70 miles a day, the savings on the second one are going to pile up a whole lot faster (and still, for most people, keeping the car(s) that run(s) just fine is often the most cost effective option).
I do concede that the MPG numbers can add confusion to the issue, I just don't think it comes up very often.
It doesn't particularly matter. Anybody doing something serious can figure it out in a couple of minutes by calculating the fuel needed for some distance and people comparing vehicles aren't often going to be choosing between the $50,000 gas-sucking SUV and the $15,000 compact Hyundai.
(but I agree that gallons/distance is clearer and easier to compare, I just don't think it is troublesome that it is the other way round)
How does raising the taxable limit by $12,000 (about 10%, cap is $106,800 this year) translate into more than a $4,000 (about 10%) increase in the benefit?
Basically, tepples has manufactured some scenario that applies to him (the intersection of people that care about having a Chase app but do not want a smart phone has to be tiny) and is wailing about how the companies don't support it.
If I wanted to pay for a smart phone, I would choose Android over Apple in about 0.5 seconds, but maybe I am under some sort of artificial influence.

Those advances in food production required massive increases in the amount of energy used for farming.
The summary is an excerpt and explicitly states that it is the words of one of the involved parties.
Given those facts, why on earth would you expect it to be free from bias?

So you think the 'some' really changes the question betterunixthanunix is asking?
I think they were asking why any prison control system would be connected to the internet, not asking why they all are.
And what does the other half of *that same sentence* say?
Money *can* force water through a desalinization plant.

Verizon has no desire to be your only connectivity service.
They want to be your high-end, portable connectivity service, they set rates accordingly.

It sounds like you guys had a fun week.
Google+ accounts get suspended when whole Google accounts get suspended, and also in Google+ only situations.
If you use the password to encrypt the key, you can store a copy of the key somewhere else.
So if the password is lost, to reset, you grab the key from the escrow and encrypt it with the new password.
I've seen it described as a computer with cellular hardware and a mediocre phone app.
I wouldn't be real surprised if some of the materials in a cell phone are similarly radioactive.
The current maximum benefit is $38316 (earn high, retire in 2011 at 70):

Okay, that's six people that have pointed out that I was misinformed.
I hereby apologize to the entire internet for opening my mouth without checking to see if I was even close to being correct.
Nah, I replied in the context of the entire thread around this post:

Micro-niche I was talking about: Android PMP+Chase App+No cellular.
It may simply be the case that the micro-niche that you occupy lacks any alternative to the iPod touch.
It isn't exactly obscure information that Google is limiting the market app to devices linked to a cellular plan.
You are policing British right now.
Once every 12 or 24 hours seems to offer some peace of mind without being hugely inconvenient.
It is in a harsh environment. It was not built to last forever. It needs periodic boosting to stay in orbit.
