Many networks like Discovery and Fine Living give us massive price breaks if we show their second and third tier channels to a certain percent of subscribers.
This system isn't written in stone. I assume the people involved are smart enough to come up with another system that works for an A La Carte cable network. Maybe limit the pricing to the average over a whole year? How about pricing based on subscriber demographics? Just because you use one business practice now doesn't mean that is way it always has to be.
Wow, another reason not to visit Japan. That and their $10 hamburgers.
I have fingerprints on file from a DOD clearance I had once. I had psoriasis on my fingertips at the time. My skin was like smooth leather. Good luck matching those prints with my fingers today.
I had a friend who worked for baggage search (check-in bags) once. I asked her the question we all want to ask, "Anything, ummm, interesting in those bags? Purple silicone maybe?". She said that they referred to those items as "items of a personal nature".
I think it is safe to say he isn't an idiot. You don't work your way to being president without some smarts (even if they are just the charismatic kind). Now as far as wisdom goes and being able to think beyond his advisors or his own preconcieved notions that is a different matter.
Did they think he was going to brew something up in the toilet? What was he going to make? A doody bomb? Maybe if he ate bean soup and cabbage first...
Going off backpacking for 6 months usually only works if you are very single. Once you have a partner they are unlikely to enjoy being dirty and uncomfortable for 6 months as much as you.
That said a few weeks off in the wilderness is doable even in a marriage and with a steady job. I also have her full support in doing some long distance trail when I'm retired. I just got back from a great 2 week trip overseas with my wife and plan on a couple of weeks next year in the Rocky Mtns with a friend. A few weeks is generally enough for me, I like my cushy homebase.:)
"If you're not getting it in the first place, you're not 'giving up' anything."
That stems from logic similar to that used by the RIAA that says that if I copy a tune that I would never have bought in the first place then that is somehow a lost sale.
My solution to getting ripped off when reselling textbooks was to head down to the textbook annex with my old books and hang out by the stacks where they were selling the same book I used. I'd let someone looking to buy know that I had the same book for $10 less and resold them that way. Only took about an hour to sell them all. The buyer saved some money and I got A LOT more than the store would've given me. Of course the weasels in the textbook racket now get around reselling by making new editions (maybe change three sentences) and make that the semester's required edition.
I like the remote control cameras. I once played with googling for them and finding unsecured control webapps. One time I kept scanning a camera around but it would start to move back. I was wondering if the owner was trying to keep it from moving ("This thing has a mind of its own!") or if other people had found it and were also screwing around.
Oh, and the rest just wanted to see everyone else naked.
(Overheard during the robbery) "Ummm, did he say he wanted us to strip? Everything? Oh, just shirts. Ok. Sure he didn't mean underwear also? Sure? Because I will if he insists. I'm willing to do it. I'll get totally naked. Would he like us to dance real sexy-like also? Is that a security camera? Can it see me right now?..."

Personally I belong to that elite "Telemundo-Fox-HSN-Oxygen" viewer demographic.

And now you never will.

They were THAT CLOSE to being helpless against an attack by New Zealand. No more Olivia Newton John, Crocadile Dundee, Men at Work...
I'm probably going out on a limb here but I have a suspicion that it is a bit more complex than that.
I wouldn't automatically assume books are better. Wasn't Erich von Däniken's "Chariots of the Gods" a book?

Does looking at other people having sex online count?

What's next? They claim they own the page numbers too?
Does anyone have the VC guy's contact info? I have some ocean front land on the Sea of Tranquility on the moon I'd like to sell him.
You can unlock the 4th core only if you can find the button hidden in the wall mosaic in the 8th level of the dungeon.
I'm not sure it was a joke...
It does come with a lubricating strip however for faster processing.
It is the religion of the modern age that with enough laws and lawsuits we can keep all bad things from ever happening and create utopia.

Those would be be great names for bands.
Looks like the employees will have to go back to the preinternet time killers, extended bathroom and smoking breaks.
They've only seen reproduction in neural stem cells and glial cells. Neurons lack centrioles so they cannot reproduce. There is evidence of neural stem cells reproducing in the hippocampus and olfactory areas.
