If you keep your business with minimum expenses from the start you'll end up with little overhead later. (Of course, always compare stuff as a cost vs. profit ratio).
If you're gonna be working full time for your new company, then you can work Part Time for somewhere else if you have to.
I think the US supported Saddam in getting elected, but he's the one that took his power to dictator status.
The idea has always been that the Middle East is far too valuable to leave in the hands of the people that live there. Saddam was elected, but took power. The people there need to learn that you can't give absolute power to a single ruler, and the people of the US need to remember that.
Not for me, give me a Diesel/Hybrid and watch it go Bio-Diesel. Diesel/Hybrids(the clean kind of Diesel that's supposed to his US markets in the next few years) get about 70-80mpg already, then switch it to Bio-Diesel(which normally gives another 5 to 10mpg depending on the type, or none at all). Suddendly you're paying 10c/gallon for 70+ mpg.
Even at 60mpg @ 10c(est cost of making it at home) you're doing pretty damn good.
Hm, with the right Hybrid car that situation, as long as it's sitting in the sun all day, the gas engine would probably not kick in if you live decently close to work. That'd be good gas savings. =) 5 days out of the week maybe a gallon or two. I forget which but some Hybrids kick their gas engine on only when the need more energy. If you did it right(no quick starts, etc..) you could even avoid burning fuel at all, depending on rain or not, etc...
Yeah, but who cares about the security of a home user? Get a NAT firewall and a good backup and if your computer crashes, burns, and blow up simultaneously, who cares?
Now, workstations, with actual valuables on it and that are needed for day to day operations of the company, need to have better security than just a NAT box and Norton.
And servers, where Unix really excels, let's just say Bank of America ATM's down because of a SQL Server Worm and leave it at that.
Home users? Who cares? I work from home and have enough friggin backups it wouldn't kill me to have my computer crash and burn. It'll put me out of comission for a few days sure, but still.
Prove that your straight. Prove that you're attracted to the opposite sex. If being gay is a choice you must be equally attracted to the same sex, correct? Because it's that attraction that is the deciding factor. Some are attracted to both, some are attracted to the opposite, and some are attracted to the same. You must be attracted to both, since you believe it is a choice, and you must also be able to change at will and be attracted to the same sex.
It is a choice, afterall? So that must be incredibly simple to do.
I don't know. Are people constantly bitching and harassing people about "Lopsided arm-hair color"? Then maybe you should, somewhere friendly where the insults will die down a little.
Co-ed bathrooms. Just imagine it, a bunch of fat geeks and hot hot women. Have an ep where a male co-worker hooks up a webcam in the stall. Hell, this thing writes itself!
Do some pointless drama, have someone FREAK OUT about not getting the traditional offer of "pick you up a burger for lunch?" Later have her kill the man who didn't offer that day, then make it happen because he had to go to a meeting with a teacher about his daughter for lunch that day.
Make the show in ridiculously short clips, so to find out what happens next you have to tune in next week too. Make the clips only about 5 minutes, or less!
Just pull from the other big popular women's drama shows and someone'll pick it up.
Don't say the show is about women in professional male-dominated jobs. Say it's about cheating, sometimes murderous, professional women who work in a place with a co-ed bathroom!
Yeah, but the enviroment of those words is different. People aren't afraid to admit they're women. Pretty much everybody(excluding slashdot) has probably seen them. It's a whole different world when it comes to gay. People ARE afraid to come out of the closet, you can be fired for being gay(yes, you can), people constantly attack people for being gay, at least with rape there's at least a second motive(sex) not just a victim(the women, in most cases).
But yeah, they're just common insults, gay, fag, bitch, nigger, and there should be nothing wrong with them. But unfortunately, there are. It's better to be called bitch or fag from someone you know is that way too, instead of someone using it as either a light-but-nothing really insult or a i-hate-dem-homos-gonna-carve-me-up-another insult.
Sara Andrews has stated that she will not be renewing her World of Warcraft account due to Blizzards lack of support for a GLBT friendly environment, "It seems to be OK for general chat to be flooded with, 'That's so gay!' and 'I just got ganked! What a fag!' yet advertising for a GLBT friendly environment where we don't have to deal with such language is deemed inappropriate."

But I don't see any links about "Damn republicans! Stupid GOPs!" or anything like that. If done right it can be a positive thing, and people see that there are gay gamers out there. A thing more rare than women it seems. It doesn't have to be an isuse, it can be a positive thing. Instead of grouping with a bunch of people who just yell anti gay slurs and being a closet-case-ork.
The problem is the society, you can't take the issues of contemporary life out completely, and it never hurts to group up with similar people so you don't have to worry about those issues either.
What blizzard has done has simply left those issues in.

Introducing one of the more intelligent detectives, damn than Canada:
Det. Lobsinger said. 'You have this game that's all about fast cars and racing through city streets. It's actually really ironic,'
It is ironic. I'm glad to see he didn't jump the gun, at least in the article, and say it was the cause.
Kids have been racing for years. Long before need for speed was impossible. Hell, back in the days before NES kids raced. In the 50's kids raced. There's no connection other than it was in there. It may have given them the idea, but it wouldn't be hard to get to that idea anyways, it's what kids do. Sounds like the parents should have given them some more life lessons about driving and racing and being stupid, but they sound like they're a bit spoiled already. Such a tragedy.
While your comment is valid, you missed the point of the ID discussion at hand as well. For some reason, people want ID to be taught in schools.
I'm of the opinion, if you want your kids to pray in school, pray before you get to school. Not enough time? Wake up 30 minutes earlier and pray to your heart's content. Pray Pray Pray. There's 0 reasons it has to be done IN school DURING school.
Wanna teach your kids about ID? Why? Just teach them Creation, and do it at home. It's your kids. You teach them what you want.
But there's no reason to teach ID in schools.
The war is an all out war from the ID people, not from the Evolution crowd(who weren't even a crowd before, arguing amongst themselves about evolution before it went udner attack!).
Evolutionists aren't the ones who wanted to put "Evolution is a THEORY" in books, they assumed the chapter entitled "THEORY of Evolution" would be enough. They want to teach something with no scientific backing to the kids. I say they can do it at home, if the kids question the parents, then the parents didn't teach their kids right from the beginning.
Now, this isn't an attack on ID people or Christians, it's been an attack, spearheaded by mostly Christians, against the Evolutionists and scientific community. When I learnt evolution, the teacher said we don't know how life began, but we have an idea of how it may have formed to all the creatures we have now.
Again, your comment is right on, God probably did create the big bang, or something else for us to find and figure out. But I'm so sick of this Evolutionists sending lions to eat the Christians idea that everyone seems to take up, when the Christians ordered in the lions to eat the Evolutionists. Don't yell out "Please No! Don't eat me!" from the stands watching.
But ones "proof" weights far more heavily than the others. And as someone else pointed out, evolution is more about how species evolved, it doesn't really talk about where life started, just where human life started.
There's lots of evidence of things evolving, and we have seen new species of insects form. What we didn't see was a large hand come down and swipe at a couple of different insects to form a new one.
ID has nothing behind it but some churches, and not even the Catholic church. When people get offended by Evolution and try to defend ID saying they are pretty much the same as far as theory with little or no evidence, I say I want my TPWMAF Theory taught in school, because it has far more evidence than ID.
TPWMAF is basically I took some Toilet Paper and I Wiped My Ass and Flushed it, and life formed because of that. I have more evidence than ID. Why? Because I can prove, without a doubt, that I did wipe my ass with toilet paper. I can't prove life came from it, but with ID, you can't even show that an intelligent designer is out there and created life, nor how he created life(or she, of course, or it if you prefer, but not as an insult).
So, TPWMAF has more evidence than ID. Hell, maybe everything evolved from that piece of Toilet Paper, and now you have a possible complete theory, whereas ID still relies on Magic(which we haven't proven) or Aliens(which we haven't proven and seems to offend ID people).
Wanna insult evolution? That's fine. But don't use it as a method of bringing in ID.
I really agree with another poster, it's most likely a testing ground. That's one thing TV writers lack(Watch your favorite comedien, then watch, a lot of them have travelling shows that aren't advertised, aren't big, and not in a huge theater, and are normally about $10 or $15 per person at some small improv. It's not as funny, but you'll hear all the good jokes again from the big tour). It's a great idea for a testing ground. It will NOT replace the show, it will NOT replace the show, and, it will also NOT be a replacement for the show.
Probably just some crap flash animation reused and recycled a lot and you'll see the good jokes repeated in the series, but probably not all from Stewie.
Everything is going to be like something else, normally multiple things. Otherwise people wouldn't recognize it, it wouldn't be funny, it'd just be alienating.
Simpsons were like the Munsters, which were a rip off of the Addams family, which was a rip off of the not-so-normaly typical nuclear family. Yeah, not a total rip off, not "goth" or "scary" but they went for all the stupid gags, making fun of the typical family, all that stuff the simpsons embodies.
Dogbert's just a badly written, unfunny version of superman-but-in-business-and-intelligence. All things are relative.
That's how it works.
So yeah, you can make a comparison, but it really doesn't matter. Stewie is far funnier than dogbert and doesn't have to rely on Deus Ex Machina 100% of the time.
Simpsons, eh, they were good, but they died years ago when they stopped making the show back in 1999. (And don't tell me otherwise damnit! I'm convined that the "new" simpsons episodes coming on aren't really the simpsons, but a really really really really bad parody of them)
He's an asshat because why? Because he hasn't copied and pasted his resume word for word for governor? You gotta be kidding me. Carole has no info on what she supports doesn't support, has almost no use of internet technology(wow, yet another unimpressive candidate who has no clue of INTER-NET) and says, like all Republicans initially do, she wants to lower taxes. But, like all Republicans(yes, I know she's running as an independent), she'll probably raise them here and there while lowering this other one by a little and blabbing all about it.
There's a little city out here east of Dallas called Canton. They have what is called "First Monday Trade Days" (where Dallas got the name for it's very gray market tech trading midnight rush called "First Saturday"). There website is here. Because of first monday, and because they lease out that land to other conventions/shows(such as farming equipment trade shows, etc..) they don't have a city property tax. Wikipedia has more info. So there are ways without even taxing stuff traditionally.
Of course, you get into a huge deal over whether governments should be meddling in the business of conventions, real estate, etc... but it is a thought. Run it like a business, make it profitable, and remove taxes from the people.
