If you do $5.00 denominations, you can train the kids to withdraw less money more frequently, of course incurring a fee every single time. So if you take $5.00 out 4 times, or $20.00 out once, your fees can be $4.00 instead of $1.00.
Decisions like this will be self perpetuating. As the difference in cost grows between degree paths, the makeup of those groups will change dramatically.
I bought a mini when it first came out, and am using it now to type this reply.
My power bill is only $16 a month, and falling. It does everything I need for normal usage. Once in a while I play some games, and I have my old supercomputer for that. But it's 750W, this one's 30W. So it gets used 95% of the time.
As I understand it, the release of Safari to the Windows platform allows people to develop and test applets that should work on the iPhone.
Was there really a plan for Safari doing well against Firefox and IE?
It just seemed to me the best way to release a product that helps increase use of another product. Safari isn't going to make anybody any money. iPhone will make Apple a boatload of money if the product and attached cellular service are decent.
I just wait for them to blow it IN the playoffs so that my hopes are dashed that much harder. At least your team has the decency to suck up front. Mine strings me along and then commits suicide in new and increasingly heartbreaking ways.
I just go by what I see when I watch the games on Center Ice.
I'm sure my northern bias is in play when I watch the game and yell "Look at all those empty seats! Stupid hockey in the south!"
And I bought my HDTV for hockey. If you can't be at a game to watch the play develop, HD is the next best thing. Standard definition games are fine when the Canadians are running the cameras. They generally pull far enough back that you can see the play develop. But the jackasses at the game in the front few rows know it, sit there on their cell phone and stand up and wave every time the puck goes in their end since they know they're on TV now. Yes, Detroit, I'm looking at you.
If it weren't for my dish, I couldn't have seen the majority of the games during the season since only 2-5 games were on a week. Once the playoffs rolled around, I got to see them all, again, thanks to my dish.
And as far as "ratings" go, do they tally me and the people who come over to watch the games? Nope, I don't have their magic box. Now, why is it that Family Guy was canceled again? Oh yeah, low ratings. So few viewers that it set records when it hit DVD and came back from the dead.
The NHL doesn't have low ratings, the idiots that count the viewers don't count the viewers.
But, doesn't your team play in a dome? Kind of easy to pick on a team's fans that "don't like the cold" when you get a heated balloon to watch the game inside.
Nonetheless, I do agree, my fellow Broncos fans are kind of silly.
Not to bash the southern teams too badly, but they don't fill the buildings, they don't watch the local broadcasts, etc.
New Jersey can't sell out playoff games, so it's not a uniquely southern issue. If the on-ice product is so boring you have to advertise the competition coming to town, you have a problem.
The biggest problem with those teams is that they were the markets that were easy to expand to. Which meant more teams with the same number of quality players. So the league is diluted and bums are allowed to skate with future legends. Some of those bums attack other players because they aren't all that great at an NHL level without it. Scott Stevens, I'm looking at you.
I love what Don Cherry said during Game 4. People who believe that Americans won't watch hockey because it's too violent are crazy. Americans watch football, and ultimate fighting and Nascar. They don't watch them for incredible skills, they watch for the hits. Unlike football, ultimate fighting and Nascar, hockey has hits AND skill. Anybody who believes differently has probably never put on a pair of ice skates.
One last thing, I have no doubt that one reason that fewer Americans watched was because a Canadian team was in the finals. Everybody I talked to about the games were in two camps. The ones cheering on Anaheim weren't watching the games and just hated Canada. The ones watching each game intently were cheering for Ottawa.
These deployments of missile protection systems are limited in their rate of fire. When they work.
The Russians are not nearly as limited in firepower as the defense systems that could ever be deployed.
Artillery is also an excellent target since it can't shoot something coming from so far away. If you have a defensive ability to knock 3 missiles out of the sky in short order, yet your opponent can drop 20 on you, you're screwed, and so is your artillery.
So the guy who was shooting people had to reload less frequently? I think the clip is the least of the worries.
There's oops, you have an illegal piece of hardware, and there's you've just shot one or more people. I think if somebody decided they were killing people today, the clip didn't make them a worse person.
FWD in a car that is shorter than the snow drift isn't very helpful. I didn't say I could drive 80 km/h to get to my family, I just said I could get to my family. You might think a Honda sedan is great when you get that kind of snow, but that's probably because they plow up there. We don't get that kind of service where I live.
Yes, some people think 4WD means they can slow down better. They're stupid.

If you receive a call in the middle of the update, it will probably crash, forcing a slow restore.
Me? I'm bitter and lonely, I could update the phone on my birthday with no concerns.
But normal people will probably want to do it later at night to prevent a painful experience.

Gotta love it.

I like to think that more than seven people might get it though.

How cool is it that after all of the concerts, the world tours, the money, that he completes a life project like this?
How many people that attain the level that Queen rose to, would just spend their time spending the money?
I think it's awesome that he's going to finish up.
I had great luck and very inexpensive bills when I used this phone.

Because mine certainly are.
I didn't read the press-release.
I just assumed that you'd promote a beta browser to get apps ready for the iPhone.
Apparently they did want Safari to compete. In that case, I'm thinking they rushed it.
Thanks for the info.

Yeah, the Packers fans deal with the professional cold. I respect the hell out of Packers fans. I saw Vikings fan, and just went off on that trail.
Not that going to a Vikings game at 30 below doesn't suck. But inside, it's nice.
Clean hitters don't hit from behind, don't go for the head, and don't do it on a consistent basis.
Pronger's a bum. And I still think Stevens is worse.

I read the original post, and the replies.
:-)
Other than the word "the", I don't think I have any idea what anybody is talking about.
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
From the song "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang, from the Hooray For Boobies album.

But I'd be interested to find out who is funding this. 100% of the production cost, distribution, etc. should be borne by Lucas.
Is this why stamps go up in price? To keep the marketing budget in line?
I can't get a box from Omaha to Denver in under two weeks by USPS, but they sure have purty stamps.
They're a monopoly, and should not be allowed to advertise at all. No commercials, no ads, fund from the stamps and add some value.
I'm with you.
One of these days, something from the Monster Manual is going to happen.
I don't know if that's good or not.
While it would be cool to see a Mind Flayer wandering about, it's probably not a good start to the day if you run into him.
