So, unless Wikipedia is pretending to "be" the FBI, this is just a waste of taxpayer money.
if all the bands end up with 0 dollars how does MTV Cribs work? Like, most chart topping musicians have boatloads of money, if they're getting screwed down to nothing where is that coming from?
The article is a bit one-sided. No mention at all about how the songwriters (typically the band members) earn 50% of the mechanical royalties for each record sold, our how they also collect performance royalties each time the song is played on the radio.
Yeah, the record deal pretty much sucks, but if you wrote the song yourself and its a hit, hello cash cow.
It surprises me that they have enough users to be able to afford this upgrade.
They probably don't, much like their previous incarnation. The vendors they screw over in Chapter 11 will likely foot the bill, and we'll see the emergence of Iridium v3.
Meaning no offense, but why in the hell would this make me want a debit card?
Mod this up. Why anybody would use a debit card instead of a credit card is beyond me. I've heard people argue that they'd rather use a debit card so they don't get into credit trouble. If you have the money in your checking account, just use it to pay the credit card off at the end of the month. You wouldn't use a debit card to buy more than you can afford, so how is it any different with a credit card.
Credit cards give you the advantage of excellent fraud protection (ok, maybe you are screwed out of $50 max), you get a 25 day float of your money, and in most cases earn rewards of some type or even cash back with the credit card.

Nope... we've never noticed that, ever.
And kudos to the genius who modded your post "informative"
That tragedy had nothing to do with a permit, and would most likely not have been averted by paying the city to OK the building of the pool.
And you know this how?
Perhaps the pool wasn't properly grounded, or a GFCI was not installed or wired correctly, or any number of other electrical installation issues.
Or perhaps everything was done right and accidents just happen.
But the GP is correct in saying that "sometimes" proper permitting and inspection can prevent tragedy. I'd go so far as to say many times.
Indeed they do, or maybe they're just bored.
I believe this is the relevant statute

Looks like the graphics have been replaced. Yet bizarrely they kept some stolen Javascript functions in there that they don't even use.
After reading what I wrote, I realized that I'm an asshole too. Going to pick up an iPad later today.
So im going to turn into an asshole?
Maybe it's your wife's subtle way of telling you that you already are :)

Nope, never have. ABP FTW
If only you could have fixed their Y2010 problems at the same time.
They want to see your underwear, that's why.
Why not have Google spend two-years building the interface with a plan to turn control of it over to USPTO employees in 2012?
How exactly does any government employee get a kickback from that scheme?
Nah... it's probably all downhill from here.

Damn, where's the "overinformative" mod when you need it
Oh, well thank goodness Wikipedia has gotten to the bottom of this. Case closed then.

Drink beer and switch to methane.

No need... the lawyers always win.

You're taking it out of context. He was talking about how far ahead they are at fucking over their customers.
Computers are really bad for a lot of people. Get outside and interact with actual people in the sunlight.
