Yes but you don't have advertising going for your belly-button lint. Send a few million on TV spots and you could raise the vaule of your lint.
Being famous would also do it.
If she is into history you may beable to get away with going with an emerald.
Beyond that you are out of luck, the diamond as the wedding ring is to engrained into the american and probably the world's thinking.
Just try to not buy to big of overpriced piece of common gem.
It gets worst then that, according to various studies I have seen hard-core players tend to just focus on a single game. When they are done with that one they move on, and only rarly go back.
So for most of theses new games they are going to have to focus on the non-hardcore gamer. This will make it interesting to watch just to see how many of them will be willing to pay a monthly fee, and how long they will be willing to pay it.
What is even worse are the government regulation on how much foreign products can be in items such as bread, flour, peanut butter, etc.
Do you think when they get a batch that is higher then is allowed that they throw it out? Nope you mix in a batch that has less to average them out.
My parents at one time owned a few restaurants and some donut stores. So I spend some times learning that business, where are profits, etc.
As mentioned soda is cheap, except for very small servings, the cup/straw/top is going to cost you more then the soda is.
Also food is cheap, which is one of the reasons that places are piling it on. It was really no cost difference to double an order, we could charge a few dollars more and people were getting double the amount. Now places are just throwing that out and just making the double order the standard, huge serving to the customer, more profit for the restaurant.
To give you an idea on some of the costs of food and what the average customer pays; as part of a fanchise we could purchase and item for around $4.00, if we sold out before the next shippment came in we could sometimes purchase from a restaurant supply store for around $10.00, however if they were out then we would probably get it from a Sam's Club for around $17.00.
To get idea of some of theses supply places take a drive to any large city that has a big restaurant, then go into the side streets and you will probably find a bunch of theses restaurant supply companies in warehouse building. Some of them you can actually go into and purchase from, just create a fictious restaurant name.
None, and there is nothing that stoppes a US citizen from going to netherlands and smoking marijuana, just don't bring any back with you. However at the same time if the company you worked for had a drug policy that restricted drug use and you tested has having used drugs, just thoses during the time you where in the netherlands, you would probably not have a defense saying You only used them in the Neterlands where it is legal.
Generally not, most extradition treaties require that it be a crime in both places, and since it would be legal in the US they would good. This is the same way that various gambleing site work, the owners all live in places where a gambleing site is legal, but as soon as they would return to the US they would be in trouble. It could be interesting if the australian law allowed for payment of monies because then I presume you could sue in the australian courts for the money and since most large corporations have an office in australia the could get money from that. The other thing is now some countries have started to be stupid and pass law that say that will arrest people who have commited crimes anywhere in the world. Now if they ever actually do that could cause alot of problems.
I did the booklet around a year ago. First they called me, I was waiting for another call so I actually picked up the phone, then they mailed me the information.
With the booklet it was a real pain since it is designed to record "live" TV. With me using a Tivo I had to record all the shows I record, and then make references to that when I actually watched the show, and who watched it.
When on the phone interview just just mainly asked demographics about me and family, not much else. They probably have alot of the general information based on the area I live.
Also they have two types of people. The first are thoses who get the a call and are asked to fill out the booklet for a period of a week or two.
Then they have the permanent families who are on it for a longer time, theses people get fancy recording boxes and stuff like that.
however informing the public how to create the watermark would also be illegal. So to take the hologram example, if the same level of law was applied it would be illegal for me to example how to make a hologram sticker of a pony, because you could then use that information to fake a microsoft hologram. Not a microsoft put down, just don't know anyother company that puts holograms on thier software.
Yep kicked the bucket back around March of this year. Never did give a reason, just stopped getting the mag and all subscribe links lead to 404 errors.

The internet killed computer shopper.

Computer Shopper was great in its day. Waiting for it to come each month so you could see what new equipment was available and at the cheap prices, checking a bunch of the ads for the lowest price, then calling up ready to make an order only to be told you needed to wait a few days to get the new price. The article were just something to skim through before you tossed it for the new month. However the internet killed it. What value does Computer Shopper have when you can go to places like pricewatcher and do a quick search and get the lowest price. In addition the internet provides quicker access to new equipment.
Laser-armed planes could pick their targets. "For example, instead of attacking the hood of the car, you might go after the tyres because the chances of a reflection hitting the driver are less," Burris told New Scientist.
I am going to have to stop reading this article after that comment, way to funny. So now we you cannot use a weapon that would not affect civilian 10 feet from it, provided were facing away from it, instead a explosive device would need to be used so that thier is less chance of a person being blinded? Killed yes, but a less chance of being blinded?
You pay for road in the gas tax, and if check in most states you can get a refund for that tax if you can prove that you will not be driving on public roads, same for most of the federal tax. If you living in a farming community it is even easier since most gas station are already set up for that, however it is now more common in some recreational areas because of off-street dirtbikes. Same for insurance, registration and most fees related to driving, including a license which is not needed if not driving on public roads. However you do have it right on taxes on your new car, you do have to pay sales taxes on that the same as if you had purchased a new computer, pen, or plate.
I am expecting that Dell will throw in one of thier printers with every home purchase. Then just write the software so that when you start running low you get a message to call Dell and order new ink. Most people will do this, after all they got a free printer so why purchase a new one. From Dell standpoint it is smart they get in the profitable ink sale market, and get someone else to advertise why you should buy from them "A free printer with each purchase."
Where it is nice, from a US citizen standpoint, is that various US TV shows are released in DVD in Europe before they are in the US and for a lot cheaper.
Actually if the kids could give back some of that force fed rote knowlege some of the problem would be solved. The problem is even when force feed the information they still cannot pass the tests.
I rememeber a really old TCO survey that some company did back just as Linux was coming out.
They did equal machines, and all that but for services they said they could not find support equal to that which ms gave right out of the box so they went with what they could which was 24hr direct phone support and on-site service. After totalling that in the price for the Linux box was around $17K. While the windows box was in the $4K range.
Back in my days of being a trouble maker(80s) I lived in a large city that had thier traffic light system hookedup to a dail-in modem, complete with a simple password.
You could read the status of the lights if you provided the address, and while you could not directly affect lights you could cause them to go and restart thier sequence for that intersection before they should.
Pacemakers are all ready being hooked up to the internet, and the use will probably increase.
What is happening is that alot of medical implanted devices are being setup so that the user can use a special device hooked up to thier computer that can monitor them and thier devices and then report back to the doctors. Quick and easy way to make sure that everything is working, and could also report usage, and monitor for other health related items.
Also there has been some talk about go the next step and allowing the doctors to change the way device is working to improve the support to the user(patient).
Because the government is not involved in this. Now if the government would want to purchase this information, instead of a warrent, thier is past cases that said they would still need a warrent.
This information is the same as if I as a private citizen recorded your backyard, and got on tape you commiting a murder. I could give that tape to the police and they would have no problem using that tape in court. Now if the police went up to me and said "here is a camera record that person backyard" based on some other court cases I would then be an agent of the police and a court warent would be needed. However you still need to write your representaive and tell them to slap down the FCC, and restrict the sale of this information.

Very much. The easiest may to check this yourselve is with cattle. Try a grass feed cow to a corn feed cow and thier is a huge difference in taste.

That movie was terrible. However the book it was based on was really good. Just don't get the book based on the movie, get the original version.
however informing the public how to create the watermark would also be illegal. So to take the hologram example, if the same level of law was applied it would be illegal for me to example how to make a hologram sticker of a pony, because you could then use that information to fake a microsoft hologram.

The article discusses that. The geneva (kill, don't wound) convention only forbid thoses designed primarily for blinding.
