    Question, did the job come with stock options, cause if so you probably should be kicking yourself.

    It is funny. Last pass openly stated they dont know the extent of the data that was take, just that they feel it was not much, yet you think that is handled well?

    I did not move the goal posts in any way. It goes tiredly towards your sign comment, which implies that adults are allowed to make up their mind about what places they enter. This is less so for kids, so just a simple sign does not work.

    But you have basically come to the end conclusion of a "club" which can already exist.

    And do you block all children from entering, or atleast the teenagers coming to eat with friends?

    Who said anything about a sign? And how large is the sign? Does it have to be in specific places or can it be hidden? Does it have to be in braille for the blind? What about kids, will the establishment be forced to turn away unaccompanied teenagers?

    I have honestly never ever seen that argument. I have seen,and made the argument that you dont know what is in the vapor, but always seems to be ignored.

    And how would I know when I enter a restaurant that half way through my meal the person in the table next to mine is not going to start spewing unknown chemicals in my direction?

    Should I then be forced to get up and leave, without finishing eating but having to pay for it, or be poisoned?

    That is an oversimplification. First of all where I live relatively few places ban e-cigs, the few that do ban them is more about people not wanting cloaks of smoke, or nicotine steam, sprewed on them.

    But to be honest you do not know what is in the vaps. Are they using the "safe" liquids you can buy at the store, or did they mix their own and have other "unsafe" chemicals in them. You are free to smoke, you are not free to poison me.

  13. I think you are talking about the terrible Bush recession.Things look pretty nice now.

    Google does not reject aps. They may ban them if they are discovered to have maleware, but if you get the developer license then you can post your apps.

  16. Yea, because IOS users would never troll Andriod users, it is always the other way around.

    How many of the 5 star reviews are coming from users who already use IOS over andriod.

    Umm SS is not free money, neither is disability or survivor benefits. Food stamps is only free for some.

  19. Re:How is this paid for? on The Campaign To Get Every American Free Money, Every Year · · Score: 1

    It would be paid in part by efficiances. How much dose it cost to have snap offices across the country, how much is given out in snap and other resources. All that would would be moved into this system. There would be a need for less wages to pay to those who have to support those programs, so that would pay for it as well, plus making government smaller.

    If 40k does not give you anything but rent food and basic clothing that 15k will be a lot to do what you could not do otherwise. That will be about 1k extra a month.
