If they will not honor the price I want, I simply will not buy, normally I have a few more things than just the main purchase and I'll abandon the entire shopping cart over one price. BestBuy has always been a bit sleezey, advertising a killer deal, limited quantity and only have 3 in the store kind of thing so I just don't play games with them; It's my way or I'm hitting the highway.
Oh Bullshit, the Bush Administration isn't really more corrupt than even the Clinton Administration. Bill Clinton was a willing Bottom for Big Corporate Entertainment, now the Bushies want to track every independently produced image or video distributed. It's all the logically continuation of the previous steps; the next step will be making increasingly draconian record keeping requirements similar to the porn industry's 2257 Regulations. At first It'll be more like having to keep model releases on all distributed images or videos, then the addresses will have to be kept current, next a "no animals were harmed" statement until finally your on-line wedding album will need a certificate saying all boobies fondled were prosthetic not real. This will keep the cost of entry high enough to keep most out and maintian the *IAA distribution monopolies.
Just because a sub-system didn't crash, doesn't mean that the pilot can operate them without the system that did crash, for example the crashed machine may have been responsible for running the displays and controls to the sub-systems. These guys are probably lucky they didn't lose the fly-by-wire.
Well the situation doesn't seem to be reversed yet, the majority of the murder/rape/torture is still Sunni victimizing Shia; it's just not a systematic government based genocide. The majority of the genocide is Iraqi on Iraqi, the Iraqi insurgents seem to be using the foreign Sunni's to engage the coalition forces as a diversionary tactic while they continue their genocide program.
I will admit if I was Iranian I'd be scared, real scared, if this turns into a Sunni vs. Shia thing, Iran is toast; most Sunnis only grudgingly admit Shiites are Muslims, most Sunnis are Arab, but most Shia are Persians and only one step up the ladder from the despicable Palestinians who were humiliated by the jews.
I realize Russia may think they're being tricky by challenging the United States in this way, but it's a fool's game. Russia is actually within range of Iran Most of Iran's angst was caused by this, they were merely unfortunate enough to be geographically desirable for monitoring the Soviet Union. Their feelings of persecution is like the mouse being angry at an elephant for fighting another elephant.
If Iran somehow gave us some credit for liberating the Iraqi Shia from the systematic murder torture and rape from the Sunni-Bathists minority, I might consider that weapons accuracy is a value for them. Simply getting something nuclear in the general area would be sufficient for them.
It seems to me that the obvious answers is for the ISP's to first install cacheing proxy servers. The in-network traffic is cheap for ISP's, cross border traffic is expensive, so proxy servers solves the problem by cache the content on a local leg of the network, the proxy server can be connected to the internet through fat-tubes, non-cacheable through the skinnier-tubes. Seems to me that there are a lot of gratuitous internet connections, mostly advertising related, I'm about ready to browse most sites through links, and am thinking about blocking the whole google-analytics.com domain. Secondly clean-put the bot-infested machines on their networks, they could route every spam-bot to tar-pit if they wanted to.
Well lets see, if you go to google.com and search for Paris and Britney images with safe-search off your going to come up with something that boarders on pornographic and violates anti-up-skirts laws in some states. Personally I don't care that the boys see some shaved genitals at school, but that whole Hollywood celebritard lifestyle is just plain sick.
You could get electric electric heater booster for the older air-cooled VW's, I had a type 2 and the heater duct rusted out and I replaced it with PVC pipe which helped quite a bit because it was better insulated; still the bus was a lot of volume to heat with a 1.6 L engine.
He may be European, in a lot of places in European cities homes touch each other. There is no garages, unless the homes builder was rich enough to want a horse stable. I used to drink in a bar that was there in a painting dated 1647! There is a saying,"Europeans are people who think 200 miles is a long distance and Americans are people who think 200 years is a long time" for a reason. In Germany, I once ran into an "outlaw" motorcycle gang complete with club colors, riding Mopeds.
Chernobyl was far from fool-proof, it's control rods were tipped with graphite in a graphite moderated reactor, in a car it would be like stepping on the brake pedal also pushed the accelerator pedal.
I've wanted one ever since I saw one at Disneyland 15 years ago. The biggest problem is it is small and the soccer-moms will never go for it; you know the ones, they preach about saving the enviroment, sing "KumBya" and want to drive a truck as tall as a semi-tractor.
There is no way a competent auditor can not know how to do the accounts I'm not an accountant but my understanding is the law requires an audit, not a competent audit. If they need help making Journal entries, I'm sure the consultants can provide that help for an appropriately high fee as well.
Now you show any actual scientific reference to little dicks and flashy/expensive cars. I mean other than bitchy whining from losers who can't afford to indulge a whim once in a while. It's true, just the other day I was getting out of my pimped Nav at the stables and Mr. Ed looked at me and said "Wilbur, you sure have a small dick", so I said, "yes my dick is small,but at least I'm not a gelding like you". The moral of the story is it doesn't matter how big your dick is if it's never used; and the ISP's have been getting fat selling bandwidth that's never used. When I go to those hellacious servers connected to big fat pipes over at Argonne Nat'l labs and download some big files I actually getting 760Kbs coming through my 3Mbs broadband connection. Start doing that on a regular basis and the ISP is going to squeal like a stuck pig and tell you that you need to lease a T1 for that kind of stuff; I guess that's why a T1 costs $300.00 a month and comcast is $49.95, one a stallion and one's a gelding.
The guys at SCOX act like new-money rich people, They buy something and pay a lot of money for it, and its better than what I'd be able to buy, but only a little bit better; and certainly not worth the price difference. Now guys like the SCOX guys have no self-esteem, and derive the sense of self-worth externally, and when they finally start to realize the Linux really is as good or almost as good as the Unix they overpayed for, then over course the Linux guys must have stolen it from Unix. Same with lawyes, the paralegal PJ is as good as SCOX's legal team, so to the SCOXers she's got to be an IBM lawyer.
Maybe Daryl's problem started when he was in the seventh grade, and all the other boys teased him about having a small penis in the gym class shower, one to many wedgies can snap a mind you know. Maybe we should in the spirit of forgiveness let bygones be bygones and all chip in and buy some of those penis enlarging thingies I keep getting advertisements for in my Email and have them sent to the SCOX corporate gym! That way the SCOXers can pump up their self-esteem in a way that doesn't hurt the rest of society.
The reason this will not work is because the states have tax laws that are too varied for any central authority to be able to administer it, so the obvious solution would be to shift the burden of tax calculation to the states! If Michigan or California wants to collect Sales/use taxes from out of state vendors, they should set up tax servers so my website can send them a SKU and a delivery address and they can calculate the taxes, let my site know by doing a CURL thing and pay me for the admin expense and/or Credit card discount involved. Vendors are getting screwed now anyways, they collect the sales tax, but the transaction houses are paying at a discount of 30 cents plus 1 to 2.5% of the total, the difference can add up over a year.
The tax is for the locality that the item is sold or used in. I understand that as an American, I can buy something in Ontario Canada and the retailers will give me a form to fill out and send into the provencial gov and they'll refund me the GST I paid there. Michigan allows or allowed residents to import one vehicle sales tax free (sales tax on vehicles is paid when you first register the vehicle at the sec of state) in a lifetime, my dad m bought a truck in Canada, registered it in Michigan tax-free and then got reimbursted for the Ontario GST!
That's what people really have to remember is that this IS Not a New Tax, they still owe the tax to the state, this is about requiring internet retailers to collect the tax for the state. As it stands now the internet retailers are sayiung it's too complicated to collect the tax because there is no rhyme or reason to them; for example Michigan doesn't require sales tax on unprepared food, so if I buy a bag of potato chips in a grocery store it isn't taxed, but the same bag of chips bought a sub shop is! How's a computer going to figure that out? Add to that some places the counties and cities also gave their own sales taxes the complication gets mind-boggleing.
The bad news is that his is a virus, and sooner or later it's going to jump into the human population and be able to transmit from person to person. When that happens, very likely birds will still be able to be infected and will provide a reservoir for the virus, so eventualy you'l either catch the flu and die, catch the flu and live, contact subinfective doses and aquire natural immunity, or get a flu shot.
it's unlikely we'll just wait it out
Still anything we do isn't going to change the peat bog burning in Borneo, or slash and burning the Brazilian rainforest to grow sugar cane to make ethanol for fuel.

Maybe it's the "everything is bigger in Texas" mentality; look at what LBJ did to JFK's little scrimmage in Viet Nam.

"your Honor, this man has no dick."
because SCOX sounds like male genitalia and or fellatio.

There were a few price wars back then as well, I remember pumping gas for $0.28 a gallon
