It's coming... Starting in Oct 2015 there will be "incentives" for vendors to have the means to accept them. It will still take a few more years, but it is coming.
What!!! After "wait 10-15 years" everything isn't going to be all peace love and understanding? We have to plan for the next war after the next war we deter?
Next you'll be telling me I am not going to get a flying car before I die.
Well then, you Democrats and liberal types should welcome this move. Seattle will be the perfect test bed to prove your argument that raising the minimum wage will do no harm to the economy and eliminate poverty. All we have to do it watch Seattle for the next few years and see what happens. If you're right, we'll see no ill effects, continued growth, unemployment decrease and everyone will be able to afford shopping at Mom & Pop stores instead of the evil big-boxes.
Hell, Seattle is *ideal* for your cause! They not only raised it to the $10.10 that you have predicted will solve the suffering of the poor, but they've went even *further* and raised it to $15!!!! If you're even remotely right, Seattle should become a Detroit style paradise soon.
For those of us who don't watch sports, sports programming is a large part of the cost of cable, and I can't get just the channels want a la carte... everything is in tiers that cram sports into the mix.
What happens when I poke at the device beneath? [Full disclosure, I won an iPad and used it long enough for it to piss me off, but realize a tablet was cool. I gave the iPad to someone who appreciated it, and bought an Android tablet...]
If you make $50K a year, you are in the 25% Federal bracket,and if you are in California another 9.3%, then don't forget social security and medicare - 7.65%, and if you go thru the trouble of being self employed, you get to pay that twice, or 15.3%... OK you're right. It is ONLY 49.6% tax, for a self employed person in California. But, with what you have left you still have sales tax, gas tax, taxes on phone bills, cable bills, car tax (annual vehicle license fee), real-estate taxes... you get the idea.
While I have heard of the show, I have never seen it, nor do I know anyone who has.
The viewership for "keeping up with the kardashians" (2.5M) means 99.964% of people have NOT seen it.
Actually, as far as I can tell, nobody watches anything. Even a "wildly popular" event like the Oscars (44M viewers) was NOT seen buy 99.4% of the world.
Is dumpster diving ID theft really that much of a threat from old receipts, which generally have no "interesting" information? Seems to me all the juicy ID data has gone digital...
I just compromise - when I have a large amount of old paperwork I need to dispose of, rather than waste time overheating my shredder, I just toss piles into a sink of hot water, stir a bit, crumple, tear, knead, then put in a trash bag, preferably on "fish night", after dinner.
Since I work from home, I can wait until just before the trash pickup before putting out my bin... good enough for the risk.
1) decide how tall you would like the pile.
2) move that much of the pile to a temp location.
3) remove the remaining pile to the garbage/recycle/shred bin, as appropriate
4) move the temp pile back to the production pile area.
You never said you were looking for anything... sorting piles of kipple seems to be a rather dull hobby.
My family got WhatsApp while traveling in Europe, with no data plan on our US phones. Since most hotels have free WiFi, it was the low cost way for my wife and I to communicate with our kids when we split up for a week to different countries.
Back home, it is still being used, as it is handier to group people than SMS/MMS... I was thinking of paying for it when my free year was up this summer, but now that FB bought it, I will drop it. I am not a FB user.

Taco Bell does not make any sense, anywhere.

I think you have just invented Science!
Depends on what the meaning of THE is.

Is the California Legislature in session
Unfortunately, they are ALWAYS "in session" (numerous paid absences aside).
What? Do you have something against Employee Number Zero?
0 - 65535 = 65536 numbers...

If not, I am sure you can find an under employed lawyer to sue somebody for something... maybe even if it is NOT in the EULA.
I heat with natural gas (if at all). I don't even know if burning wood is legal anymore in California...
But what about when Curly says - "I'm trying to think but nothing happens."
Obviously his brain is working enough to make him speak...
Careful - the username has "007" in it, so you have to assume they have a license to kill.
Heh, we'll never hear from THAT Anonymous Coward again...
or will we?
Well, yeah... making stuff illegal makes it more profitable, e.g. See "drug trade".
I am confused - I thought the patent was on the "automatic" (RSS?)-ness of things, and/or a "device" that automatically gets the show.
If I just go to the website and download mp3s by hand, that seems non-infringing...
If I uses iTunes, then, as you say, it is already covered?

Just need the insurance, as, well, insurance... in case this billionaire dies before they get a chance to retire outside of California, I suspect.
I found it on the beach the other day - who ever owns it can have it back.

Assuming the bottom of the pile is the oldest....
1) decide how tall you would like the pile.
2) move that much of the pile to a temp location.
3) remove the remaining pile to the garbage/recycle/shred bin, as appropriate
4) move the temp pile back to the production pile area.

Don't anthropomorphize the machines. They hate that, and will go back into their past to get you!
