I've NEVER had them tell me to put my book away during takeoff or landing. But I usually buy softcovers, so they are less likely to damage someone if they go flying around the cabin.
They can certainly opt to not buy the domain. However, the threat from ICANN is that if they don't, then someone else can have that domain and the porn company may have to risk being misassociated with the other entity.
Like any site, you have to take the reviews with a grain of salt. Most people are too lazy to leave a review. Thus the reviews are skewed toward people that have had a bad experience. I usually figure if 10% of the people say that a component arrived dead, that probably translates to well under 1%.
Why not be honest? Instead of calling it a "high-value area", call it "shit our stupid employees would like to steal" area.
The thing with people who steal stuff is that they are kind of dumb. If they were smart enough to steal stuff that was worth money, they would be smart enough to not need to steal.
Domain names cost like $7. Why do they have to pay $200 for one in another TLD just because it has the same base name? Disband ICANN and ICM and sell of their assets.
Domains used to be free. Whose brother-in-law in congress gave these a-holes authority to charge money for a free service?
Small businesses don't have a lot of internet bandwidth
And large businesses have even less internet bandwidth in ratio to the amount of data that needs to be backed up.
In fact that is the school's new slogan: Nerf or nothing.
Slogan? No. It's in the name. Welcome to Earl Beatty Public School, brought to you by a grant from the Nerf foundation.
Well we already know that capitalism doesn't work, so I can only assume this is a heartfelt wish for communism to come to the fore.
From what I have read of capitalism, I believe it would work. We should try it here in the U.S.
So the snowball fights had to wait until after school
That's fine with the schools. Just don't get hurt on their watch. For largely the same reasons, they stopped bussing where I live except for handicapped and kids who live over one mile away from the school. Partly it saved direct costs of the buses, but it also saved liability costs of kids getting hurt on buses, getting in fights, etc. Now, instead of 10 buses running around picking up children and dropping them off at school, there are 600 cars taking their kids to school at the same time as another 600 kids are walking the neighborhood streets on the way to school. The actual danger to each child is probably 10 times as high, but the liability is not on the school, so they don't care.
I also was stabbed with a pencil, but I guess the lead worked it's way out or dissolved. I think we are up to 20 or so. A google search brings back 925,000 results. Maybe banning pencils has some merit.
How did you get the "making money without working"? To a stock trader, trading stock IS his job, just as hammering nails is a roofer's job, or running a restaraunt is a restaraunt owner's job. But the restaraunt owner and roofer are taxed at twice the rate of the stock trader.
That is just false. A person who actively trades stocks has resultant short term capital gains (or losses). These are taxed at the normal income rate. Long term capital gains tax is the one which is lower. But, of course, we want to encourage long term investment, don't we? Short term investments causes the need for quarter to quarter profits which stifles innovation and research and leads to commoditization of jobs and makes the jobs ripe for outsourcing.
If political authority doesn't wave a magic wand and declare the criminal activities of certain financial institutions to be as pure white snow, then the courts will eventually get around to enforcing the law as written.
Foreclosures are not just a problem of the banks. People were greedy enough to buy houses that they couldn't afford as well. Then they cry that "the evil banks" forced them at gunpoint to buy a house that costs twice what they can afford.
There is one guy at work that bought a house for about $450,000 that crashed to $150,000 in the housing crash. He still had a job and could afford to make the payments, but he chose not to and allowed it to be foreclosed upon. Before doing that, he bought ANOTHER house and an RV, so clearly there was money to pay the mortgage, but he decided to let it go and let other taxpayers like you and me foot the bill.
I'm all for punishing the banks for lending in situations where people wouldn't be able to pay, but the people who bought the houses share the blame. They should be required to pay for their houses if they can afford to.
Of course, there is also the problem that the banks were REQUIRED to make mortgages to people in areas that had a historically high rate of foreclosure. I don't know how anyone could think that would turn out well.
They are bad at math in more than one way. Twitter followers are also not worth $2.50 each. I would say more like $0.00 or maybe one hundred per penny. If they were really worth $2.50, than surely the company would pay me $1 a month to be a follower. I'd bet a million dollars that they wouldn't pay me $1 a month, even though according to their own words I am worth $2.50 a month.
Apparently, this is their last ditch attempt to not fall apart and die. From what I understand, Noah WAS the voice of the company and the only reason that people read the reviews. They allowed the only worthwhile person in their organization to leave and are now essentially suing him for leaving.
This is even more straightforward than that. He didn't need to "get around town" as a job requirement. He purchased the car for his own use, and happened to sometimes use the car during business hours, but at any rate, he had the companies logo on the side of the car. Then when he quit the company and took the sign off the car, they said the car belonged to them.
Honestly, with a $500+ entry tag plus cooler which is not included
Kudos to Intel. Please don't include a stock cooler on your high end chips. Nobody buying a high end chip wants to use the stock cooler, and neither do they want to pay for a cooler that they are not going to use.
I'm PC? Boy, did you read my comment wrong. I'm saying there is nothing wrong with the word itself. it is just the feelings that people have toward the people that the word describes that is the problem, and no amount of PC "Don't say that word. It is hurtful: is ever going to fix that problem. They'll just be a new word come along that eventually will come to have the same connotations and eventually we won't be allowed to say THAT word either.
It's due to the comparative lack of computer availability to young black teens.
Anybody that can afford a free public education or who can walk to their local library has access to a computer. You have to put in effort to reap a reward. I had to save the $100 I needed for my first TRS-80 Color Computer instead of buying Boom Boxes and sneakers like all the other kids that I grew up with. As I have said elsewhere, my school district was 69% black and we were poor.
We had computers at school. Before I got my computer at home, I used to go write programs on the computers at Radio Shack. I had no way to save them, and I knew every night my hard work got shut down, but I got to make pretty graphics and interesting programs for the passersby to see.
There is even more availability of computers today than there was in my day. Most everybody has a computer at home now. Unfortunately, most people, black OR white, see computers mostly as a tool these days. They don't try to learn programming, they just learn to go to youtube and facebook and how to illegally download music and video.
When I went to school, the only thing you could DO with a computer was program it.The computer class in High School was a programming class. Now, in the same school district, they don't have programming classes anymore. They have class on using the computer, but after taking that class (and getting an A), my stepson did not know what program to use if he wanted to write a report. However, he did know how to burn illegally obtained music and videos to disc, and how to obtain games illegally for free, and how to make his own facebook and myspace page.
I'm from the south, but I don't speak like a southerner. People who talk with a southern drawl are assumed to be dumb inbred hicks, just as people who talk ebonics are assumed to be dumb welfare thieves.Presentation determines 95% or more of your success. If you want to be successful, talk with a region neutral voice, be polite, dress nicely.
It's not a shock word. It's a word that was used to describe black people. The way they were treated back then was associated with their description, so rather than fix the problem, we changed the description. This has happened three times now. We still haven't fixed the underlying problem. We could call them "really great hardworking guys and gals who are a tremendous benefit to ours society" and as long as racism exists (on either side), the new label will eventually have the same connotation.
Did you not notice the racism during the race
I did notice the racism. In fact, that is a large part of why he won. Another large part was people trying so desperately hard not to appear racist that they felt they needed to vote for him.
It's like the whole country said "I'm not racist! I'm not racist! Look, I've got a black president!"
And he's actually only half black.
Money is not the issue. I grew up a poor Black kid, just like Steve Martin. Yes, I am really a Caucasian, but I grew up in an area where the black population is 69% and white is 20%. The median family income in the area now is $15,000. I have no idea what it was back then. There were computers in the school, even though this was way back in the early '80s. They didn't have any signs up that said "Whites only". I saved up and bought a TRS-80 Color Computer for home and learned to program in Basic and Assembly. Other people could have done the same thing, but they had other priorities. The CoCo cost me $100. The "Boom Boxes" that other kids bought cost twice that. A pair of fancy sneakers cost that much. I did without all that so I could have a computer, even though I had the same resources or less than other students.
You forgot about:

I agree. There ought to be a negative sign in there somewhere.
