Let's say you're an elite criminal in the city of Metropolis. Let's say there are 100 police officers in the city. Let's also assume that Superman, a superhero living in the city, has the strength of 10 men, or 10% of the police force. Sure, as a criminal genious you could fsck up the police pretty easily, but wouldn't you want to be known as the guy that took out Superman?
Let's add to the list...libraries, schools, some streets that perhaps you'll never drive down. Towns try to do things that are for the benefit of society in general. And you're *not* forced to pay taxes...if you don't want to participate in something bigger than your personal needs and interests, you can move. There are vast, unsettled parts of the country still.
Personally, I would like to see what happens if a group of people start an experimental town centered around their own self interests vs the town as a whole...sort of like a reverse hippie commune.
A town in essence is a group of people who have gotten together because it's in their best interests to consolidate their efforts to make the best use of resources (ie roads, schools). If this group of people begins to see the benefits of locally-provided high speed access (albeit wireless) and votes on it, why shouldn't they be free to exercise their will and implement such a plan, assuming it will be affordable?
If companies are allowed to make money, then my townsfolk should be allowed to work together to *save* money. What next, bulldozing the library because Barnes & Noble wants to open up a store?
Rather than signalling to women around you that you've already got someone willing to spend the rest of her life with you, this ring indicates (and guarantees) that pretty much that no woman will ever want to be with you.
I don't know, as I'm not an accountant or lawyer. My dad's social club is a non-profit corporation, and that's the extent of my knowledge on non-profits.
Here's another way to look at this issue. If I buy something online (ie a book, vacuum cleaner, whatever) at work, does it automatically become the property of the employer?
There's an old cartoon floating around that shows a Pepsi truck driver being called into the boss's office. The driver gets fired because they found "coke" on him:)
You can usually sell restricted stock after 2 years. However, if you're an insider, you might be subject to SEC Rule 144, which only allows you to "dribble out" a tiny amount of stock every quarter. Otherwise, you can sell your stock (as restricted) to someone at a discount. The actual discount varies from company to company, based upon size of revenues, earnings, trading volume, etc./does this for a living
A word about using external mice on Dell laptops (at least in Inspirons):
The touchpad and nubbin are internal PS/2 devices. When you plug a PS/2 mouse into the PS/2 port on the back, you will automatically disable the touchpad/nubbin. When you plug in a USB mouse, they're still enabled and you would have to go into the Device Manager to disable them.
2. Yoda kills Dooku on Dagobah. Dooku's death is indirectly referenced in ESB when Luke comments on how dark in the Force some area is. This "dark force" from Dooku's death is also what allows Yoda to hide out without being detected by Vader.
4. Clone troopers and storm troopers are different people.
Slashdot Mirror
Because everyone else on /. hates her. Get with the program!
The colons in there probably reminded them of the Cue:::::Cat days and scared them away from it.
True, but as a criminal, you'd want to be known as a genius :)
Hell, isn't this just the business model for HBO/Showtime/Skinemax and PBS?

Maybe he's already asking the question from the pre-European settlers' point of view.
A stake...to plunge into smittenedkitten's heart to make sure she's really dead. But what do I know, I only submitted this with a funnier headline.
And don't forget the tagline for the game...
Where Victory is YOURS!
Here, let me beat you over the head for a while...what, too ignorant or stupid to buy a helmet?

No thanks, I'm not going to eat anything whose name sounds even *remotely* like "Hot Karl."
It's still too soon to make fun of FDR, so YMMV.

Hopefully, you're not located in New York, where single member LLCs don't count for anything.
"...when you consider how small of a share of the market they have."
Yeah, same with all these Linux and Firefox stories!
Actually, it said "Coke Is Life."
That's why I steer clear of farmers' markets nowadays...because the old people can't!

Oooh!!! Oooh!!! I know!!! I know!!!
