I remember going to the pub on a University of California school...
They even served a combo called the "Irishman's lunch" - a Quart of beer and Potato Skins. I am sure that is no longer "PC", and I am not even sure if the UC system has gone "dry" or not, but, back in the day it was the best thing, even above "toastada Tuesday".
Having credit cards, and even using them does not mean living on credit or being in debt.
My "main" credit card gives me 2% back on everything I purchase. Every time there is $50 or more it is deposited directly into my account. No fuss, no muss. 2% off everything it purchases.
I pay my bill every month. Zero cost to me, 2% back vs paying cash (writing a check, whatever).
I charge my cable, telephone, newspaper (yes), cell phone, and a few other "no fee for credit card auto-pay" bills with this card. I get several hundred dollars a year back, so why not? It is not like "they" don't already have my phone records if they want them....
Besides, there are some things that are hard to do without a "credit" card.
If there were one thing that could be different about the US Constitution that would make it better - it would be a 4th branch of government that had limited and enumerated powers over the other 3 branches. This fourth branch of government would be drafted, at random from among taxpayers. They would only meet once a year and all they could do is have absolute veto power, with 2/3 majority over ANYTHING that has been decided by the other branches of government in the last 2 years.
Off topic, but your 16384 spaces made me laugh, but also reminded me of how irked I get every time the instructions for entering credit card data say something like "enter numbers only, no spaces or dashes" - I mean really? Just take whatever people put in and clean it up for them!
While the actual numbers vary by car and conditions... The example in the chart shows roughly 33mpg at 50mph, and 20mpg at 80mph, but doesn't consider travel time.
You can decide if you value your time at more or less than 2.6 gallons per hour.
Crowdfunding is similar to buying raffle tickets at a Church bazaar
Actually it is more like stuffing money into the poor box in a church's foyer, only with a note on it that has your name on it and a request to "say thanks" if things work out... but yes, it is definitely NOT an "investment", in any normal sense.
Truth be told, the "middle of the road" party would win by a landslide in the US... if it were running (and could do anything if it "won"). However, we don't have that choice, the way things have evolved - we have a two-party system, since the two parties have made the rules (primaries, congressional committee assignments, etc.)
So, we flip-flop back and forth in an "us or them" proposition for each election.
Unfortunately the flip flopping is more like "ratcheting" - the "left" keeps telling you what you have to do, and the "right" keeps telling you want you can't do. Lose-lose with each flip-flop. Odd how the "in power" party doesn't undo anything... they just pile-on their agenda...
So, you want to take the first shot that could start an interstellar war? On the other hand, it could be like sending them chocolates, maybe they will like it!

Is this search in the TOS, or is it an "unauthorized" search?

Heh, reminds me of an oldie, but a goodie -
All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot;
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom,
He made their horrid wings.
All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.
Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid.
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did.
All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small.
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.

I predict the squirrels win. The one ox will eventually die, but a thousand squirrels is a viable population.
It could be "sew what you rip", except most people just throw it out and buy new cheap stuff from overseas...
For Princeton, it could be "reap less than half of what you sow", the part the government doesn't toss to the birds...
sorry, wrong mod button... undoing.
On the days it isn't wet and/or blowing then the simulator might be needed.

No, this is America - these are are children's children's tax dollars hard at work.

Kind of a final sanity check, with teeth.

Wow, all of my gmail accounts are going to be linked to my (non-existent) g+ account? This could be fun.
And I would have used any google ID for "professional" purposes???

"Good" test data is often an issue... in this case, I am sure your test suite includes some "carefully crafted fonts", right?
I like the fact that US 1963 50 Cent pieces could buy you lunch in 1963, and in 2013 are will still worth lunch money.
A1965 or later 50 cent piece? not so much.
We'll see how BitCoin does over the next 50 years...
Who had been around for millions of years to detect them?
Your question implies you also have a theory about trees silently falling in the woods, right? It is not all about you, sometimes it is about them .

I hope that there is a large overlap with the 31% that believe in astrology - keep them all in one bucket...
Empirical evidence, however, sadly, shows that wrong-thinking folks are spread all over the place!
destroyed by typos and autocorrect stupidity
You see how powerful a GUI is! Good thing your typing is perfect, I am sure the command line never gives you syntax errors.

"Apparently you can't teach and old god new tricks."
LOL'd at that one.
