  1. Re: Cash never fails. on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't sure of that. The definition that google presented said something like "must be accepted". But I dug deeper, and found a treasury.gov q&a which backed you up...
    "
    This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise.

    Yeah. For me, all indexing stopped at a certain point. I could search older stuff in Outlook, but not newer. It broke File Explorer searches too. I reported it to my IT on 6/30. They ignored it until Wed when the owners started having issues.

    Then they said "We have a patch!". Then "Wait, we have another patch!". Then, "Ok, we have to clear your cache and *then* we have a patch!".

    Indexing still broken.

    If you think his posting or TFA is about price controls, you should move to the remedial class.

  11. I like what Mr. Rogers had to say about it:

      "The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands.”

    Ha! I remember my old Olds Delta 88. It looked ok, not beat up, but it was a real cruiser; obviously big, old, and did I mention big? And, yes, I too won every game of chicken--except for the battleships. The Mack truck always wins.

    +1 insightful. Fwiw though I did think it was a visual artistic treat. I was glad that I saw it in 3D. This is the only movie I can say so.

    So, I haven't seen one since. My biggest bitch was the drop in light intensity with the goggles. Has that been fixed, I wonder?

  15. People are too embarrassed to buy from companies with names like that.

    I wasn't sure about that so I had to google it.

    Yeah, whatever, fuck that. Go to Faux for your own echo chamber. The "news doesn't have to be factual" network.

    We can all play this game.

    But it's not news.

  18. Ah, but the evilgreedycapitaluses were trying to get $60 for a pair of headphones that was worth $35.

    Oh wait. I've lost track. Which evil corporation are we supposed to be rooting against here? Or maybe it's the system. Yeah, that's it.

    Ah well, it's just another lazy saturday afternoon, passing time on a website where noone gives a damn about TFA, just letting my line drop where it may, waving with the currents until the flow brings another troll within reach.

  19. That's the best you got?

    Do you start your day with a bowl of cornflakes and outrage?

  20. Thank you for my 1st Laugh Of The Day(tm).

    Good sir, can you tell me which queue I should be in for outrage?

    Yeah, Reagan changed the way unemp was calced, and how the dems howled! Well, we're stuck with it now. Until another prez decides he needs to change the calcs to make himself look better.
