They find that a combination of an iPad, iPhone, and a PS3 meets all their needs much better than the "jack of all trades, master of none" PC did.

That would be awesome. And I will be right there to capitalize on the new market for a video game player that you don't have to carry in your shirt pocket, but can sit right there next to your TV and remain constantly plugged into it.
a $100 will run one monitor in hi res with most options on for most modern games. The more expensive video games are overkill unless you are running a game that can utilize multiple monitors. Of course, a lot of people do just that.
Yes, but you have to sue to get it, and by the time you pay the lawyers, and get blackballed for life for the temerity to demand that you are paid for the work that you performed, then it is just not worth it.
Insurance does cover catastrophic illness only. What people have and what they call insurance is not insurance at all. When I switched to Major Medical, my monthly payments went down by $600. My yearly deductible is $7500. If I add up my monthly premiums and my annual deductible, it is LESS than I was paying for monthly premiums before. PLUS before I was also paying copays and deductibles in addition to the monthly premium. I pay everything up to the deductible out-of-pocket, but it is at contracted rates, so it is still discounted from the non-insured price. I would estimate that I am saving about 75% now compared to what I was paying when I had "Full Coverage".
Err..I don't get it...why would not today do the same thing as in yesteryear. The mom take him to the family dr. and he'd do some stitches in office.
Where does the ambulance, ER, and hospital come into it and why?
Because now you can't just go to the doctor and get them to do something, nor will they make a housecall. If you call the doctor, they will set up an appointment to see you in a week or two and if you tell them that you need something done right now they will tell you to go to the hospital.
Frankly, I blame the lawyers. Your family doctor can't afford the malpractice insurance required to stitch up a wound. And of course, the ridiculous cost of malpractice insurance is due to greedy people who see a random accident as a chance to CHING-CHING cash in.
Before they make it mandatory in my city, they will first have to make it legal. They have decided that composting is dangerous because composting generates internal heat that can and does catch fire.
of course, the subject of this article is San Francisco, where a large percentage of people have exactly zero square feet of yard.
I guess I don't understand what you are saying about landlords. Are you saying that after the lease contract is up, then the landlord should give the house to the renter? If that is the case, i am sure the landlord would be happy to oblige. unfortunately, you won't be able to afford the monthly payments required to make that happen.
Or perhaps you are saying that after the rental period is done, the landlord should give all the money back. That is pretty stupid. Obviously the landlord has costs as well. If you are just going to make being a landlord illegal, then a large percentage of the population of the world will become homeless. Most renters cannot afford to buy a house, or their credit is not good enough to do so, so they will just have to live on the street until such time as you see fit to make renting legal.
Being a landlord is not as hugely profitable as you imagine it to be. If it was, then everybody would be a landlord. Unfortunately, as a landlord you have to float the costs of vacancy, damage caused by tenants, insurance which is higher than owner occupied due to the fact that tenants allow more water and fire damage than owners do, higher taxes due to the fact that most states allow an exemption for owner occupied, costs of maintaining an office, phone service, website, costs of advertising, costs of fixing stuff that tenants break, costs of fixing stuff that the state requires to be working for tenants that you know darn good and well that the tenants wouldn't have fixed if it was their house, and the list goes on.
In higher priced areas of the country, many landlords went out of business. They were LOSING money on a month-to-month basis on rents and hoping to make it up by the appreciation of the house. But the real estate market crashed. In many higher priced areas of the country, the rent is STILL cheaper than a mortgage payment would be. The only reason that the landlord's can do this is because they bought the place 20 years ago and they paid a lot less for the house. If you went to buy that house now, you would have to pay more month to month for the mortgage than you are paying for rent.
End results:
- Charity gets more money
- Banks get more money
- regular people lose more money
No, you are forgetting chargeback fees, costs to bank of dealing with the chargebacks, overdrafts that occur while dealing with the chargebacks, and so forth. The actual end result is:
- Charity gets no money and has to pay chargeback fees.
- Banks get less money
- Regular people lose more money.
I think that people are just using the "bad laws" excuse as an attempt to present an altruistic motive to their otherwise disgusting desire to steal and cause general mischief and mayhem.
Well, I don't know that, but then I don't live where there is a major population and food crisis. Further, I don't see why we should cull humans all over the world when it is only limited areas that are overpopulated and hungry. particularly I think it is a bad idea to cull humans from areas that are net producers of food.
I have yet to see an 'educate the people' campaign that isn't dead on arrival.
That's because we don't use a large enough Board of Education. An 8 foot 2X4 would work wonders.
I would assume none, because if you know how to use just about any WYSIWYG document editor, you can certainly use the base functionality of any other WYSIWYG document editor, ESPECIALLY if the one you normally use is not MSWord.
I would say that that company has a different problem than they think they do. 90% of their e-mail is not business related. But 95% of my work e-mail IS business related. I mean, if HR reminders and whatnot are not necessary, then don't send them. Don't just throw out e-mail because you are not regulating it well.
Another thing, if 90% of it is useless, then 10% is on target. What happens to that now? Are they going to send that 10% through Skype? I sure hope not.
So yes..people now expect email to be instant.....like a task listing....new tasks come in
So how is Skype or something else similar supposed to be any better? People are still going to have an unrealistic expectation that you are going to drop everything you are doing and work on their issue. The problem is not the medium. We need to educate people that there is an order and prioritization process that needs to happen.
That said, it would be a quick way to get our population down to where it needs to be and shut up those fucking anti-vaccers for a very, very long time.
Unfortunately, the flu would probably mostly affect the part of the world that is actually able to sustain itself, since a lot of the population of the world that is unable to feed their children is more isolated.
You're not legally exempt just because they tell you that you are. Most people classified as exempt do not meet the requirements of the FLSA for an exempt employee.
Ground water will cause a lot of buoyancy for this building - how will they prevent it from 'floating' upward? Other than using very thick walls from heavy construction materials?
Same as a swimming pool. Keep it full of water to counteract the pressure.

Yeah shame about that. And then there's all those Jews who are racist against Hitler.

What do you mean? With odds of 1 in 250 million for winning powerball, I just have to buy 250 million tickets to win that 100 million jackpot!
No, the other people are still going to pay, so if you buy 250 million tickets, you will have a 50% chance of winning 100 million. Oh, that's $50 million if you take it as lump sum. $25 million after taxes. So, expected value of spending $250 million on powerball tickets is $12.5 million.
many HR departments use automated scanners to filter resumes and if you don't have CS or and Engineering degree, you won't be interviewed for the position.
Mod parent up. Further, at least in the area where I live, they filter resumes for MIS majors, and filter out CS and Engineering majors.
Wow, you really think that someone can't learn those thing alone ??
Absolutely they can. And the way you learn yourself is by making mistakes. However, there is already plenty of room for people to learn the best way of doing things without having to also learn the best way of doing the fundamentals.
You could also learn for yourself that fire is hot, or you could take someone elses word for it.
