You should go to bed.:) The GP is right in that we get taxed in the 30s... but then we have a wonderfully convoluted system of deductions and credits that we can use at the end of the year so that I only pay in the very low 20s even while bringing home nearly 200k.
No it's not. Every other DVR I've used just stops for a moment when you hit play, and starts from that point - It's physically impossible to get the Time Warner DVR to stop when a show starts back up coming out of commercial.
The process ends up looking like this: FF->FF-> wait a few seconds, oops, it started, hit Play->Rew until you get back to the black interstitial, then Play again.
On the Tivo, when your brain registers "Okay the show's back on", you hit play, and it snaps back about 5 seconds before starting to play, which is almost always right.
It has nothing to do with MPEG encoding and everything to do with a fantastic user experience.
You're getting 30k right out of college (no exp). With comparatively limitless potential - you should be able to reach 6 figures within 10 years if you're any good.
At least in the 2004 model, you're wrong - the 12 volt most definitely DOES start the car.
Leave the car off with the lights on too long, the 12 volt battery dies, and you WILL be calling AAA to get a jump start. The only trick is finding the terminals to plug in the jumper.
Um, they don't have "health care for everybody" and they don't "take care of their elderly" in some magical way where everyone who gets a boo-boo gets a free band-aid and an adult diaper wipe when they're old.
Funny, but I would think the threat of death to those poisoning others with nuclear waste would be a pretty simple mechanism.
Gov't doesn't have to tell use what to do with nuclear waste. Gov't just has to tell us what gov't is supposed to tell us: Don't fuck up someone else's rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Law should severely punish those who do - but right now we've allowed corporations to buy their way out of all kinds of trouble... and THAT is your "massive externality".
The photos from the following day are impressive, but I'd like to compare it to what it looks like today: How much has been able to regrow in relatively cold climate in 50 years?
What I don't understand is, if the utilities are "appalled" why don't they just implement their own frigging pollution controls?
Oh, it'll cost more than the other guy? Then market him to death on it - no company is going to want to be low-man on the pollution-control totem pole.
As I've thought about it a little more, military guys in America do say it the same way you do: 12 June, or 23 May... regular folks always say the month first though.
Things is noone ever says the year first.
Also, when using quotes around a little clause at the end of your sentence we also put the quotes before the period. Only time you put the period inside the quotes is when the full sentence is quoted.
He said, "I put a period inside my quotes."
But we also do it "like that" just like you do it "like that".:)
I guess it depends on who is in your personal circle of "most people".:)
In my experience, most folks are too old to have grown up with them, and think of them like the TV - it should "just work" for a few years without having to worry about anything.
I just got done replacing Windows on my in-laws machine with Ubuntu because I was sick to death of them getting a bogged down, clogged, full-of-crap install.
And they are computer idiots. And they had anti-virus but they're so conditioned by the crap they just click "go away" when it tells them it has to update.
And now, they are happy with their computer.
Anecdote, sure, but your "normal people" comment was nonsense.

So, Ireland is smarter than us in how they go about attracting corporate dollars... ... and you fault THEM for it?
Maybe if we were a little more competitive companies wouldn't bother fleeing there. Just a thought.
You're getting 30k right out of college (no exp). With comparatively limitless potential - you should be able to reach 6 figures within 10 years if you're any good.
And you're complaining?
I didn't say it was a "12V starter". The GP says "The standard 12-volt battery is not used to start the car", and it does.
Good call.
Probably just a matter of semantics.
At least in the 2004 model, you're wrong - the 12 volt most definitely DOES start the car.

Yes, I have done it.
Is Blamecasting a new sort of arcane skill?
The imagination runs wild.....
Yeah yeah yeah. Been there, done that, took plenty of pictures.
If you are sick and/or incapacitated you will be treated in America, too. Don't let the demagogues lie to you.
Don't act stupid.
"Universal" health care doesn't cover everyone. Sorry.
Um, they don't have "health care for everybody" and they don't "take care of their elderly" in some magical way where everyone who gets a boo-boo gets a free band-aid and an adult diaper wipe when they're old.
Get real.
I agree with your entire statement, by the way.
I just have hope that someday we could see a gov't that just does what it's supposed to do and nothing more.
I've been there and am way too familiar with too much rain (the 209" high marker in Ketchikan is kind of funny though).
The thing is, if the water scoured it down to the rock, all the rain in the world ain't gonna make a lot grow on it.
Goddammit. And I'm a geographer by education too.
Thank you, sir. :)

My question:
Can you hurry it up, please?
Thanks.

Because it's the way we speak.
People would avoid you if you went around talking shit like "back on 2008, January 12"...
Solution: Stop surfing porn sites. Duh. :)

Stop touching yourself!

And that's what Ubuntu has given me, so far.
Provide even one anecdotal example of clicking the updater in Ubuntu resulting in a "complete hack of the system" or just STFU.
You're kidding right?
