The difference is that doctors don't have to use black market products of dubious quality and contamination... and if the shit was legal neither would anyone else.
I often wonder who writes these positive reviews. The only time I have contact with customers after a sale is when there is a problem, I don't often hear that the product is wondeful and works as advertized, I hear "this hunk of shit failed after just four years, I want my money back" If things go well that doesn't get people to make action. Happy people tend to do nothing.
Your argument requires a strong leap at the last step, also worth note the last step is the largest step and the least likley, in the original argument the steps were smaller and the last one not so big. My only worry about these is that it might make the guards complacent, or more likley cut the number of guards leading to scary new problems that will be hard to resolve with the fewer guards.
Deep down inside, I don't care if yousmoke dope or not a long as you do it on your own time. The dude who flips my burgers or sweeps my floor could be stoned out of his mind and not change his performance, but the anti drug folks always bring out the surgeon strawman (which is funny because I know a few doc's that are half in the bag most the time. In fact to be stuck with a mind numbing job like watching a cash register and not be blotto seems like cruel and unusual punishment. Oh and to the folks that point out that pot makes you stupid, I say so what, I don't use pot so its just less competition for the few remaining good jobs.
Most of the articles on the Times and other big papers are not written by them, look at the by line of your paper and almost every article will say Rueters, or AP, or have another newspapers name, why because its cheaper. The exception is the WSJ check outs its by lines almost all staff writers. Their content is valubale and expensive to produce, but to some its worth it.
Do you realy think it only costs $.50 a day to bring you a paper? the cost is just to insure that you read the copy you are delivered, giving the advertizers the warm fuzzy feeling that the ads are reaching people and the paper some number of people willing to pay to read their fishwrap. if web ads are only 2 to 3 percent of the revenue it is because there are too many places to sell ads and not enough people buying. changing to a pay method only reduces the number of impressions and therefore also the amount of revenue. Having them go offline (or to a pay only link) lessens the value of advertizing on the Times website
I know half my marketing budget is spent on wasted ads, but I don't know WHICH half!":)
And with online ads you still don't. You know about a tiny percentage of folks who clicked through, but you still don't know about the people who now know your name, but didn't before. For example I know about rackspace offering colocation and hosting services, but I have never clicked through, and aparantly they offer support. Rackspace doesn't know that this ad was sucsessfull (they might now) because I havn't cicked on it. I haven't clicked on it so they can't measure its succses.
we have little local fishwrap here that comes out once a week, that get this... is free, it has several pages of news, some reviews, some comics, and some great off the deep end opinion pages (well worth the cost of admission). It's not delivered (if you don't count the stack in front of Taco Bell), but it suits my newspaper needs fairly well. The point here was that there are business models taht work with newspapers thatdo not include subsciption And look its online too http://www.newtimes-slo.com/
strangely enough I do, meatspace to me describes the world we live in, in a harsh light that reinforces the difficulties associated with getting things to work, when we have all of this delicate, stupid, and self destructive meat running around making meat noises, and more meat. I guess I coud call it peoplespace, but it doesn't convey the same disdain I have for many of the folks who make my life difficult.
Lets take an Ad based media business in meatspace, and try to move it to cyberspace, (I hate that word) but heres the kicker, instead of being and ad based cash flow, lets be subscription based. Somehow I don't see this working, and I am fairly sure taht the subscribers still get nailed with ads even on the older articles. On the other hand, full access to their archives is worth a few bucks a year (think 20), but their OP page is worth less than the electrons needed to display it.
This case settles a conflict between the interstate commerece clause and the 21st amendment Passed February 20, 1933. Section 2.
The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
well that alows states to regulate the transport of booze in their borders, but many states NY in particular were using this to bolster local wineries at the expense of out of state whineries
I don't see anything that he has done to cool the oil it would seem that he has decreased his surface area for air cooling, It just seems to work off the thermal mass of the oil. This would work great until the oil reached a temperature similar to the max temp for the CPU. Now if he added a little fountain or a bubbler, or something, that would increase the surface area and thus increase the cooling. Now if he added little neon lights, some racing stripes, and some anime stickers, we could get some of the less infromed case modders to make some great messes in their cars
Probibly, but perhaps after packaging the cost comes out close to the same (in this case it was an almost all cardboard package). Another factor the studio may have considered is the rental aspect. with two DVDs you could rent SATB3 (why? dear god why?) seperatly from the other "gems".
Not long ago I purchased the "Smokey and the Bandit" trilogy on DVD ($12.50 at Staples), and was suprised that it fit on one DVD. They used the trick of the double sided DVD to acomplish this mission. Since only Smokey and the Bandit 3 is on one side I can safely say that there at least one side with no quality data on it (how horrble must a script be for Burt Renolds to turn it down?)
My problem is that these fundies are selective about what they belive. Levitcus says homos are bad.. it also sets the price scale for selling your daughter into slavery. But they will say that slavery is bad. it also says that the scent of burning bull flesh pleases god, but I don't smell that when I cruise past their church. Every word in the chapter or nothing take your pick.
Institute for Creation Research A Christ-Focused Creation Ministry The name pretty much sums up the group. They are not scientists, they are theologens. Theologens should not pretend to be scientists, and for the most part scientists don't pretend to be theologens. ID proponents would have more credibility with me if there were any of them that were not sponsored by fundamentalist churchs that would like to revert the world back to the dark ages. At this point the Catholic Church has even acknowledged evolution as being valid.
Africa, Asia, europe, New York, Israel, Texas all of them are a long ways east of me and outside of walking distance, I'm not planning on visiting any of them in the near future, so as far as I am concerned they all might as well be in the same place (not the peoples republic of california).

I love the peanut butter jar tech, I also love the comment that it requires.25 V, which is just tiny fraction of 6V. For that matter its an even smaller fraction of the 25,000 V in my TVs flyback transformer. I get that.25 V is small but at how many amps?.001 mA, or 1000kA the pouwer requirement is vastly different. On the other hand this could be a neat way for cities to deal with sewage.
You and I won't be hoarding $50 M worth of IP. If we have our ideas assesed and taxed perhaps we can come up with a reasionable value system. Perhaps we could add a short (5yr?) tax free period, or perhaps a floor below which you pay no tax ($10 M). At any rate IP has become an assest and needs to be taxed
Part of the problem is that IP is currently an untaxable asset. It is something that you can have tons of in inventory, but its not bad in the same way that having two years worth of wigets in inventory is. This leads to hoarding, some companyexist only to hoard and licence out bits of IP. We Need to create an Intellectual Property Tax. This will keep corpoartions from hoarding and speed the flow of material into the public domain. If $Member-RIAA thinks $Boy-Band latest album is worht $50 mil let em pay 1% for the goverments protection. Since the IP cartels want real protection for their "assets" let them pay for it in the same way you would have to pay for real assets
Jeff Jones at cuesta college in Ca. I use his name freely because he is proud of his techinque. For his classes you buy a copy of his notes at the book store or print them from his website yourotherteacher.com he has all of his lectures recorded there. If you are taking a class from him he gives you a free pass to the site. But when you take a lecture from him he expects that you have already watched the pre-recorded aspect, and are ready with questions. It works pretty well for his subject matters; He teaches, statics, strength of materials, Autocad, and smoe other basic engineering courses.
It was my understanding that the high corn syrup content of soda is a remenant of WWII when sugar was a rationed item, but corn (and thus corn syrup) was not. People came to prefer the taste of corn syrup soda, also it is less prone to crystalizing than sugar based soda. Also corn syrup does not have a goverment mandatd minimum price like sugar. It just sort of makes sense to use one over the other. For what it is worth I perfer the taste of european coke to american coke.
The owners of intellectual property have created a mass of strange and new kinds of property. There can be only one real long term solution.
PROPERTY TAX. Yep, let the company assess a value to each patent and charge the holder 1% PER YEAR, however the max damages for violating this patent can only be its value. I can just feel the national dept melting away. not sure wether this was sarcastic
last time I went to comp usa they had $10. keyboards, and I'm sure you could get them for less in bulk. if it takes 20 min to mess with each cover, you would save money by jsut throwing them away and putting in new cheapies.
