Everyone can now hear Stewie speak in the new season. He was able to have a conversation with a police officer while disguised as the living head of a corpse lying on a bridge.
"prayer in school" is an ambiguous position. Does he mean it's ok for students to pray on their own, personal time in school or does he support school-supported coerced prayer?
"2. Purchase 11,800 songs from iTunes for $11,682.00"
Out of the thousands of songs on my iPod, maybe 50 of them are from Apple's Music Store. Are people actually that misinformed that they don't know you can just rip your own CDs or just get MP3s from emusic or other sources?
"What if parents divorce and only one has custody?"
Things are going to get nasty when that happens, the waiting line to pick up your kids will last for hours and the police will get called in when everyone starts to lose their temper. A lawsuit will probably ensue. So, let's see who's getting paid here:
1. the company that made the device 2. the school staff that must get paid overtime to manage the parental traffic jam 3. the police who have to come in and bust heads when the parents get unruly 4. the lawyers, because they're going to be involved at some point in this mess
That's at least 4 contingencies that will be getting paid. That's about par for the course around here.
That's not going to happen--NJ is strapped for cash as it is. The school systems could be run much more efficiently, dollar-wise, if they were all run at the county level (Hunterdon County does this IIRC), but there is too much racism here to make that happen.
That's not going to happen again for a long time. Roger Ibbotson (the guy that the financial community determines long-term returns) and his colleague, Peng Chen, have knocked that long-term return down by 1.25%. And that's a long-term average going from 1926 to 2005. Year by year over the next few years are going to be rough.
"After just two years, you'll be making so much money just in passive investment income (which means money from not working) to cover a full month of rent (over $2,000)."
Not exactly. The only way to keep up that 10% growth (which I've already adjusted to 8.75% for you) is to keep the money invested. In other words, in order to keep accumulating wealth, you'll need to keep it locked up. And dividends? If you're invested in an index fund that tracks the S&P 500, you can forget about it, as the dividend yield on the S&P 500 is only 1.6%.
That said, it's still a great strategy to save up for a house or retirement or the kids' college.
I have already paid for an IP address at a given speed. Anything that screws around with any of my third party dealings (ie Google, Yahoo, eBay, etc.) is theft of service, IMO.
If something like this goes through, these greedy bastards should lose their common carrier status since they are controlling the types of traffic going through their networks. I, for one, welcome the combined forces of the RIAA, MPAA, FBI & DHS permanently shutting down any ISP that slips up even one bit and allows something illegal to go through their system.
There's no scam. Everyone that invests in Google is aware of the stock structure and concedes to it when buying shares. There are lots of companies set up this way.
A PE ratio has nothing to do with splits or adjustments. It's market cap (price * shares outstanding) divided by earnings. Here's the math to compute MSFT's PE ratio:
Price [26.41] * Shares outstanding [10.64 billion] = Market cap [281 billion] Latest-year net income = $12.254 billion Market cap divided by net income = 22.93 = PE ratio
Specifically, the founders hold all the voting stock of the Company. Everyone else has non-voting stock. Even if other investors hold a large number of shares of non-voting stock, which outnumber the voting shares, they can't do squat. This was a brilliant move on Google's part. Fund the Company like a public one, but run it like a private one (ie with long-term goals and responsibility).
Anyone that has a website and serves it up using the HTTP protocol went in with the understanding that the information would be accessible and indexable by the world. If they don't like it, they can turn on robots.txt and enjoy a nice warm cup of STFU.
Not only that, but it turns out that when little kids eat their boogers, it helps to strengthen their immune systems. They're effectively giving themselves small-dose vaccinations every time they do it. Heh, no wonder I hardly ever missed a day of school as a child:)
And if there were also some way of receiving elicit photography for private viewing in one's home. I predict this will happen in the far-off year of 1975 and it will be called the Discotron!

WWASD?
What would Adam Sandler do?
Don't trust anything he says.

Heh, that's just like the time I used to work for Seth MacFarlane and got a kick out of reading all your comments.
At that size? Probably up someone's urethra for all we know. Except for Hank Hill's.

"Star Locke, Kinky Friedman, and a few others,"
Whoa, back the fsck up here...they have a candidate named "Kinky?"

"10% per year (based on historical data)"

I suspect if they took over the world, they would just be concerned with fashion and talking like James Brown.

Three words for you my friends: tax evasion scam.

Chuck Norris doesn't use search engines. All the relevant results simply huddle together in fear.
I was actually going for an "Informative" mod since this is something I actually heard, but hey, whatever floats the mods' boats I guess!

My mom grew up on a farm in Eastern Europe. I was born here, but presumably I'd inherit all that extra-strong immunity, right?
Not only that, but it turns out that when little kids eat their boogers, it helps to strengthen their immune systems. They're effectively giving themselves small-dose vaccinations every time they do it. Heh, no wonder I hardly ever missed a day of school as a child :)
To put things into perspective...think of the Dwayne Dibbly character that the Cat sometimes plays on Red Dwarf.
And if there were also some way of receiving elicit photography for private viewing in one's home. I predict this will happen in the far-off year of 1975 and it will be called the Discotron!
There has got to be some law on the books about fscking around with interstate commerce to prevent this.
