The decrease in corporate taxes that funded the SEC would most likely be offset by an increase in fees paid by companies to external auditors (which is already a sizable chunk of dollars even today). It would probably be cheaper overall as the auditors are probably already duplicating some of the effort the SEC puts forth.
Only in primary elections do some states require a party affiliation to cast a ballot.
General elections have no such requirement. If you are having to prove party affiliation to vote in a general election, then you might want to figure out why the elections in your area are being rigged.
The fact that my tapes currently hold 320GB (SDLT) compressed and I don't feel like hooking up a cd changer and spending $35 for a full backup, especially when a tape is $70 and can be reused.
You probably are referring to this one.
It has a proprietary connector to hook the xbox directly to the tx, not that this is any harder than a normal connection.
Unless they setup a system like in Exchange Server where the original message only exists in the database once and the rest of the users simply have a pointer to the original message.
Each time you forward the attachment, you are only really forwarding a pointer to the original file, not another copy of the file.
Cost is pretty much the negative effect that drives anything in business. If the cost of providing open source drivers now outweighs any potential future earnings, then it won't happen.
No, all this would do is minimize false positives of those senders who happen to be from the.mail domain. It would do nothing to increase the accuracy of identifiying real spam.
They probably mix up their DHCP pool regularly so they have a reason to sell you a static ip. Since your modem is online 24/7, it would normally always renew the same IP address, effectively giving you a static address for free.
You apparently aren't keeping up. The latest news shows that some of the executives are almost surely going to be serving prison sentences, it's simply a matter of how long.
Gates seems to be doing a good enough job spending his money in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to help search for an Aids cure as well as fund education iniatives.
Unless of course you are meaning to imply that private space travel is more important than these other causes.
So why aren't movie tickets $1. I know I would see a lot more movies if it wasn't $20 for my wife and I.

I think you're low rates are the exception, not the norm. I get around $100/check for medical and $5/check for dental deducted each paycheck. I would assume most people are spending that. Of course, my deductible is only $400, so that makes up the difference I guess.
Wait, so using that same logic, I shouldn't be mad at Joe's Carpet Cleaning when I get a telemarking call on their behalf. I should blame the telemarketers? Or the phone company? Well, each of them plays a part, and I will certainly not knowingly do business with any company that uses telemarketers.
I look at it from a different angle. Telemarketers are calling you uninvited and intruding on your time. When you get a pop-under, you had to manually visit the site that has the pop-unders.
Thus, if you don't want pop-unders, you should either a)not visit sites that use them or b)encourage your favorite sites to find a different economic model to generate revenue.
Most websites have to use these ads to make money in order to feed you free content. However, nobody is forcing you to surf the web, thus you are able to avoid pop-unders if you choose. On the flip side, I really have no way of avoiding telemarketers short of disconnecting my phone.
That's fine and I can accept that as a reason. What about the hordes of users who bitch about how much britney spears and U2 suck, then go download the entire album anyway?
Why would you download a file you would never buy to begin with. If the song sucks so bad you wouldn't spend money on it, why are you spending bandwith to acquire it anyway?
So in your opinion I actually do owe someone a stamp for every email I send?
Why? I've already payed for the bandwidth.
I don't see this analogy as being similiar. When you send an email, it is not delivered to the recipeints mailbox outside. Conversely, someone cannot write a letter and have the post office deliver it to your inbox. With VOIP, a user can place a call from a regular telephone to another POTS user using the IP network.
The last two vehicles I've owned have had nearly perfect speedometers (based on those radar displays the police occasionally have on the side of the road). And how difficult is it to maintain a constant speed? Anyone who's been driving more than a year can keep a constant speed without even thinking about it. And finally, if your cruise control is speeding up on you, you might want to get that looked at. Mine occasionally dips down when going up hill, but it never speeds up faster than what I set it for.
Thank you. It seems most of the time congestion is caused by those few who think the NEED to travel faster than the rest of traffic by weaving in and out. In my experience, everytime the weave over and cut someone off, that person has to slam on their brakes causing a chain reaction down the line.
It is the contantly having to brake to avoid hitting someone that causes congestion, not having traffic moving at a constant but slower speed.

I believe you have it backwards. Bill Cosby was accussed of acting white because he encouraged young blacks to get an education.

Doom 3 is coming out on XBOX in a few months.

And gas prices are that high because of taxes, not because the raw material itself costs more.

This guy was unfairly modded down. Just because you may not agree with what he said doesn't mean the author was trolling.

Yes, but we have no idea what they are running behind the firewall or webserver.
How is this offtopic? If you bother to read the link it says I get a free shrimp if it is conclusively proven there is water on mars.
Sweet, so when do I get my free shrimp?!?
