Not a farmer, eh?
It takes longer than a day, but farms can be created in rather short order with today's farm equipment. That is, unless you take all their fuel away from them.
Does that mean that if all the public domain stuff that Disney used in making most of their movies was put back under copyright, then Disney would lose its copyrights to those movies?
The Brothers Grimm could suddenly be rich, though still dead, of course.
I get the joke, but Disney's Pluto was named after the "planet" Pluto, which itself was named after the god of the underworld who was around a long time before Disney.:)
That's probably right. The selection online is simply better and comparison shopping is easier. Sure, I might find what I want locally if I look hard enough, pay higher prices, drive to enough stores, and spend oodles of $$ on gasoline. But most of the time I can't find what I want or need in a brick & mortar store locally.
If I have to pay a little bit in taxes to shop online, I'm still saving money.
My feelings on taxing online sales is this: If nobody in my state sells an item, then don't make me pay taxes on it because I had to buy it somewhere else.
If you were a mugger (or breaking into homes) in my neighborhood, you'd get your ass shot. That's why good neighborhoods are good. We don't tolerate crime. We don't make excuses for the criminals. We report crime and testify in court when the time comes. We vote for leaders who care about the safety of the citizens.
It has nothing to do with color. There are people of nearly every race living in my neighborhood. The difference is that they're good people, not thugs.
Everybody knows what it takes to turn a bad neighborhood into a good neighborhood. Either do it or quit your bitching. You want the title - live with it.
As long as we have any publicly funded health care, then government is paying for the health consequences of smoking. With that in mind, why is it wrong to tax a behavior that increases an individual's societal burden?
Ah, there's the problem. If all health care were from the government, then ANY activity could be considered risky by whatever government was in power. Maybe even YOUR favorite activity!
Like skydiving? Too risky.
Like riding motorcycles? Too risky.
Like bungee jumping? Too risky.
See where that goes?
A human right is something you're born with, not some product you get free just because you want it. A right cannot cost another human his time or money.
The one exception is, at least in this country, that you have a right to a jury trial. The jurors are giving up their time for you to have that right. You should thank them even it you're found guilty.:)
You don't inherently have a right to health care, internet, and all the other goods and services you want unless you're willing to pay for them yourself.
The page as it is now is fine, but it needs one thing changed. The black bar with gray text is hard to read. Why are web designers so obsessed with making their pages so hard to read? A little more contrast please.
It extends to programs, too. A lot of photographic software has a gray on black interface. Give me a choice of skins or at least a break!
The other day I caught a handicapped person parking in one of OUR parking spaces, and I beat the shit out of him.
Just kidding. I've been unable to walk without difficulty (before my hip replacements), and those handicap spaces were a godsend. Stay out of them if you don't need them!
Tell me about it! My Congressman is Spencer Bachus, one of the biggest crooks and liars in Washington. We're probably going to vote him out next year, but whoever replaces him will probably be just as bad.
I say "probably" because we have a lot of idiot voters, too.
Slashdot Mirror
Finally! Somebody on slashdot who knows the difference between profit and profit margin!!
Mark this day in your history book.
The real thieves are elected. Congress makes the TSA look like pikers.
Throw them all out this November. If you recognize the name on the ballot, vote for the other guy.
I trust facebook even less than I trust the U.S. government, and I don't trust government at all.
God forbid facebook ever becomes a central bank!
Because farms can't be built in a day.

We must have some slow readers here. How can a post be redundant when it was posted before 90% of the drivel here was posted?
That's peanuts compared to what they steal.
It's like polishing a turd. Yeah, it's shiny, but it's still a turd.
. . IF I could get it! I have 15 days a year off, but trying to take any of them is like pulling teeth. My boss has an excuse for every season.
Winter - We're not getting much done because of the weather, so we need to work every chance we get.
Spring - We need to work more to make up for a bad Winter.
Summer - This is our best time of year to get a lot done. Let's work over if possible.
Fall - We're behind. Nobody can take off from now until the end of the year.
I have to put my foot down every time and demand to be off.
The mature (fun) ones do. You need to stay away from little girls; it's illegal.

But if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Years ago I owned a 1978 Ford Fiesta that consistently got 35 - 40 mpg on the highway. It seems we haven't advanced much since then.

I have yet to find a CFL or LED that's made to be used in my oven.
Yes, God exists and is still alive. The bad news is He works for Goldman Sachs.

Most all laws over the last few decades have been deeply flawed in some way. That's what you get when you elect idiots.
Am I the only one who read that as "Progressive Error"?
Seriously, the Progressives were wrong then and haven't learned a damned thing since then.
