Look in the lower right. According to this, the value of all gold ever mined was $9.12 trillion as of late last year. That's a small fraction of the world's total annual economic activity.
The Police will soon have a list of all the people who changed ISP after this announcement. People who demand privacy obviously have something to hide.
What does an 80s rock band have to do with this? Are they suing downloaders?
Exactly how has this administration tried to take away your right to bear arms? (Crazy internet conspiracy theories about making weapons more accessible so as to increase violence and citizen demand for future gun restrictions are not acceptable answers.)
Get with the times, man! Now a days all the Democrats are trying to do is take yer marriage, by forcing you to wed a gay person. Keep your rhetoric straight!
Man I tried. Could not find it in a year of looking. I was contemplating trying to capture Pandora for hours at a time so I could grab the song when it happened to play, then I found it on one of the newer sites where you can request specific songs.
Someone decided to down mod me for this. Huh. This wasn't meant to be punitive; it was advice that most people need.
Our financial planner talked us into saving my wife's entire severance pay when she was laid off a few years back. Jump forward a few years, and when she had several large medical bills and couldn't work for a time, that reserve kept us afloat. I'm quite relieved we had the option, even as I understand many others never had the luxury of savings. Now I'm trying to build that reserve larger in case one of us lose our jobs, and it's painful to save that much again.
An article I read a few years back said that's basically how his charity works, yes.
And regardless, gsgriffin wasn't talking about what Bill Gates should do with his charity. He was talking about what "you" should do with "your" charity - e.g. all charities in general should do this.
"If you're talking about where you invest the money in holding, then DUH, you invest in what is making money. "
Sometimes people make a general statement, which elicits general responses. I'm sorry we didn't stay narrowly on the topic of Gates' foundation.
The real complaint is they paid billions to elect these guys, and look what happens. My suspicion is within days / weeks this will be defanged.
If Republicans win this fall, expect the consumer bureau to be gutted then eliminated. It's not like they haven't already been trying to block or defund it.
You neglect to mention that every seller is required to accept Paypal. It's the easiest way to manage things only because having one payment system is easier than multiple systems, and if you go with one system, that one system has to be Paypal.
I do it the way the parent describes, and my credit score could not get that much higher. Because I'm getting points or cash back on everything, I run -everything- I can through a credit card. Thus they make more in merchant charges off me than they do off a typical person who pays cash or check for somethings. That's where they get their profit off me, from the higher prices all merchants charge everyone for everything to cover the costs of credit card fees. (But merchants would charge those costs whether I paid cash or check or credit, so the best I can do is use credit and skim the cash back and reward points.)
We're taking a family vacation this fall courtesy of starpoints. The price of everything everyone buys covers the cost of cash back and points programs, so people that don't use them are effectively funding those of us who do.
It's painful, but after you finish paying off your card, keep paying the same amount into a savings account for six-to-twelve additional months to build a reserve. This way, next time you won't have to rely on high-interest credit for emergencies.
This is why I still have my first credit card, from like 14 years ago. I charge something on it periodically so they don't cancel the account, and pay off the balance immediately. I'd prefer to have fewer cards but would rather have my credit score.
Next time you vote, remember which party created this bureau and which keeps try to block it or defund it. Despite what a big pile of slashdot users regularly say, there are still differences between the major parties.
Not that Google isn't evil when it suits them, but I'm relatively certain that this is a CYA move to keep YouTube from being sued by the **AA using whatever made-up laws their lawyers have pushed through to make this illegal.
I've only ever bothered to do so with one song: a song that I like from my Pandora station that isn't available for sale anywhere physical or digital (a remix from an old import CD). I found it on a different, legal on-demand streaming music service and captured the audio.
For anything else, though, $1 is worth far less than the ten minutes it takes to do this process, so I just buy the song.
DID you not see the BIT about them dropping all THEIR other plans? So there's plenty point TO comparing these new prices to existing one-LINE Verizon prices as Verizon CUSTOMERS will soon be paying these prices or no LONGER be Verizon customers.
I've fat fingered my bank's or broker's URL a few times too often, and I don't like getting redirected to anything unexpected. Dropping it in the Google box yields results with the correct site at the top, whether I typed it correctly or not.
Yeah, it is sort-of unfortunate. My MBP is three-four years old now. I have the disposable income to buy another one, and I could at any time, but I'm not happy at the inability to swap the battery. I'd sort-of like an optical drive, too, but I could live with external for that.
I guess I'm in a minority they no longer care to sell to - I guess now that I have an iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, and MBP they'd rather go make a new customer than keep one they already have.

LibreOffice works really well on Mac, in my experience.
NeoOffice switched to this model, and shortly thereafter I switched to LibreOffice. Lo and behold, LibreOffice was already leaps and bounds ahead!
Is there even 1.2 trillion dollars in gold in the world? How about 5 trillion? 6? How serious would the difference between 5 and 6 be?

Is that why the party in office created this bureau, then? Or is the existence of this database some ruse to reduce your rights?
Thanks. I don't think the OP got it.
No warranty, at the Apple store in north Austin. And I did expect to pay for it; not even being asked to pay was a pleasant surprise.

It was poor luck that the flood occurred from the 8' to 9'2" marks only...
