He's making wagon wheels in the age of the automobile. He is going to either have to shut it down or become a retailer in a successful retail market (difficult). I just laid off two employees and let go of half my customers because it just wasn't the success I tried a year and a half to achieve. I'm not stopping my entrepreneurial drive I'm just going to do something different.
I really hate yo say that because there are great entrepreneurs in that industry, but reality is reality. Maybe your friend could do a hobby/games shop? He could transition his current store to that gradually perhaps as DVDs become obsolete.
ummm.. my ford escape has had all this and more for over 4 years. I have had one accident not caused by me, and the cops were impressed by my setup, not busting me for it lol.
It is sad that a site that so prides itself for smart members is so stupid with basic business math. It devalues opinions on other topics that are without a doubt more complex.
This just ten cents a pizza thing is bullshit. Its not like your receipt would have a line saying 10 cent obamacare tax. If they could raise their pizza price by ten cents they would have ALREADY done so. I have a couple friends in local management for different chains and every food chain is seriously considering this. It is an extremely cutthroat industry and those that can't make tough decisions are replaced by those who can.
Umm you do realize Cambodia had city sized areas of weapons and supplies for insurgent fighters right? Also that is where fighters were being trained and attacking from. I'm not saying the invasion was smart but saying that Cambodia was not involved at all is a bit short sighted.
no I get a lot of calls even now wanting me to sign up for my free Google 411 listing and he calls all have the area codes that Google voice uses by default if you don't choose a number in California. Your absolutely right that I may be making an incorrect assumption, but how would you make an auto dialer system. would you buy a ton of land lines or would you just use a cheap obi box and Google voice so it is harder to track you down? I would never blame Google for this but I think they may be being abused here.
was that the response team that violated orders not to respond? being serious not a troll. I've read a lot on it including the timeline and I have never read this. I know there were some CIA guys that responded in direct violation over their orders, and they lost their lives saving some embassy workers at a different base.
So how do they reconcile if someone emails a ballot twice from two email addresses? I can see how it's a bit less likely to be fudged if the email was sent from a.mil address because those would be verified email addresses. I'm not so much against it as I'm interested in seeing that it's accurate, and people don't feel disenfranchised by fake votes.
I have a friend, and ex-professor that has a PHD in American History. He has always wanted to sit in a jury, but as soon as they find out how educated he is both the defense and the offense strike him from the rolls.
I have noticed most of these calls come disguised via google voice numbers. They change their numbers nonstop, and the majority of the time when you press one to talk to an operator the system is overloaded and just hangs up on you. I knew they were making crazy money when I saw that. If they can't even handle the amount of traffic the robodialer is generating for them, they are obviously being very successful.
Who is pretending? This is NOT A TREATY IT IS AN AGREEMENT. I said so in my comment. The federal government could have signed a law or treaty. Agreements are not legally binding to the states, and it is currently illegal for states to ignore their own laws for something that isn't superseded by a higher governing body.
Last time I heard if you shoot a police dog you get a very similar treatment as if you had shot a police officer. I'm a big proponent of the second amendment, but you gotta use your head and act rationally!
There are approximately 4,450 federal crimes, and that doesn't include state, county, and city crimes. You are almost surely a criminal, and you don't even know it. In my town many people have gotten snagged for throwing away a water heater, or the box it came in. That is not illegal, however it is illegal to replace a water heater without having a city inspection. The fine is thousands of dollars, and then you have to bring up everything to code in your house for your water heater. Now people throw water heaters and boxes in their neighbors dumpsters. How would you feel if the police saw that in your alley from someone else, and decided to bust your door down, and found an illegally replaced heater from the previous owner of your house putting you on the hook for thousands of dollars?
I didn't see anyone mention in-wall USB ports. I have torn apart most of the ones on the market to check out the insides, and I will say that the Leviton is the best built and best amperage.
My home is 4400 sq foot, with 2200 on the first floor and 2200 in a basement, and one of these puppies gets me a solid connection anywhere in the house, and I have another one in my back shop that covers the gazebo and back yard.
If you don't have one think about getting a gazebo with a nice firepit in the center, and ceiling fan over it. I know this doesn't sound "geeky", but I spend a TON of time with my laptop outside on it. My geek freinds and I have had enough with cave dwelling, we are all about a nice cool breeze, a bucket of beer, and laptops plugged in to sockets conveniently placed on every 4x4 at the corners:).
It's pretty decent if you believe what the country is reporting, and understand not all countries use the same figures to get to the conclusions. A good example is the infant mortality rate. The U.S. ranks very high on the infant mortality rate, but the reason is that many countries don't count an infant as being a viable human for a certain time frame after birth, while we count every baby with a heartbeat. We used to spend the most according to that chart, but with the recession we have cut back as a country. The point is still valid in my mind. Why don't we get MORE out of the money we are spending? Hell I don't see Finland on that chart at all and they beat the heck out of us in education. Spending as a percentage of GDP is a silly chart. A third would country can spend half their GDP on education, and still not spend 1/100th of the us per student, not only that those countries tend to like to report stuff that is grossly inaccurate.
what you have written is not at odds with my statement sir. There is no law however, nor is there a treaty making the Texas statute invalid so the supremacy clause is not in play.
maybe, but you could also look at it as purchasing something that someone else makes cheaper than you can. My father was an oil and gas company manager who had to lay off employee after employee as the middle east dumped oil on the market faster and cheaper than we could. Eventually my dad also lost his job and took a much lower paying job in the industry. Now my dad is once again in high demand as other countries have squandered their easy to get oil at a cheap price and the field is once again more leveled. So who is the real losers here? Sure it hurt the us oil and gas industry bad for a while , but now we are getting back to business and the savings account of oil from shut down wells is now paying much better dividends, and othher industries in the US took advantage of the low cost energy in the interim.
Same with these elements. If they pull back on development we just step up if it is worth our time. Maybe china sees this and is stopping the cheap easy sales to drive up prices to the long term price now instead of burning supply when the price is low.
That's one reason, we also used to have violence against minorities that showed up to vote by people that were "monitoring". By making sure monitors are registered and legally able to vote in the place they are monitoring it helps keep outside violent people from wreaking havoc in other voting areas. If the KKK wants to monitor an election, they can't go 200 miles away to intimidate people, they have to do it in their own back yard. In other words, if you mean to do ill, you have to do ill where the people you are doing wrong can find you. Basically it's an old school anti-trolling mechanism:)
My mom used to say "animals don't poop where they eat". This law makes sure if you are doing bad, you are doing it in front of your neighbors, thus discouraging it.
Because the tea party is using local people registered to vote at that polling place as Texas law requires. OSCE could do that as well, so could a socialist party, or the flying spaghetti monster party.

People just don't think this shit through.
I didn't see anyone mention in-wall USB ports. I have torn apart most of the ones on the market to check out the insides, and I will say that the Leviton is the best built and best amperage.
Here is a link to what I'm talking about on Amazon, but I found it 6 dollars cheaper at home depot when I purchased mine.

Also I don't really care about all the Ethernet ports everyone talks about, I'm fine with wireless. Personally I would rather have a really great wireless network with segregated guest access. I have found the best home wifi is the Ubiquiti unifi line: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B004XXMUCQ/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351449761&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=ubiquiti+unifo

That's a great question too!
They do allow it, they just allow it by people that are local to the election. This helps keep outside influences such as the KKK out.

By making sure monitors are registered and legally able to vote in the place they are monitoring it helps keep outside violent people from wreaking havoc in other voting areas.

Except you seem to ignore that the OSCE is not a treaty, therefore it does not supercede any law from the constitution down to leash laws.
