How about the opposite... how anout as municipalities, we band together and start charging them rent...
If government stood for the general population rather than for businesses, we wouldn't have the DMCA, eternal copyright, overly lax banking regulation, or the inability to erase consumer credit card debt via bankruptcy court.
So as nice as your idea sounds, I'm afraid it's pretty much just fantasy.
Oh, and another part of the better lifestyle is that I generally get my caffeine from green or white tea, not soda.
It has enough caffeine to help me be alert, but not so much as to make mess up my sleep schedule. It also has basically no calories, and helps me to not be hungry.
If your job requires you to give up sleep, you have to be aware that you're paying a very high price and you might not notice that price until your body (or mind) complains to you in an unpleasant way.
I agree. My weight generally shoots up when I'm short on sleep, and goes down when I'm well rested. For me, it's this system:
1. Lack of sleep on day N, so drink Mt. Dew to be alert. Mt. Dew packs a lot of calories, so that's bad.
2. Lack of sleep also messes up people's appetites, making them over-eat.
3. Lack of sleep also lowers self-control, so when I over-eat, it's not carrots, and when I seek caffeine, it's regular Mt. Dew, not green tea.
4. At the end of day N, I'm wired on caffeine, so I can't go to bed on time. Also needed caffeine to drive home safely. End up staying up late, which is the last thing I needed at this point.
5. Day N+1, just like day N.
I've found that the best balance in my life is to have the policy: whenever possible, sleep as long as my body wants to each morning, and work the rest of my life around that.
Newspapers go the way of the buffalo just like drive in theaters.
That would be fantastic. Because after a long hiatus, I can now get a buffalo burger at a local restaurant. I can. not. wait. for a delicious NYT burger in 50 years.
Are there any other issues that might make the Confirmation Hearing more than a rubber-stamping?
Dude, Congress ignored illegal wiretaps, Bush signing statements, being lied to about Iraq, and torture. But they did find time to have hearings on the Bowl Championship Series playoff system.
Do you think they really give a f*ck about something substantial?
Space radiates. If we were to put a black body in space at absolute zero, after a while it would be about 2.7 Kelvin. This is because of the cosmic microwave background (which is what they're trying to measure here).
If you have a distractor (radiation from the craft itself) as big as the thing you're trying to measure, you won't get good results.
But emitting EM radiation isn't the same thing as having a temperature, is it?
I mean, I can see how the net effect is similar, because you still end up heating up your black block, similarly to what would happen if there was a heat transfer due to conduction.
It just sounds a little loose with terms to say that space has a temp.
It may be that they're hedging their bets against a possible dry spell in their business. Better to get the cash now, while their bond rating is good and they can get a low interest rate, than trying to issue bonds when they're not looking so hot.
I was going to say "I think most of us were capable of interpolating that without your assistance", but your current Insightful mod might indicate otherwise. Kinda sad, really...

It's a copyright case. Supposedly, the winning party gets their lawyer costs; so if he wins, he can file for his fees.
But if it was pro bono, wouldn't that be $0?
Great post. Wish I could mod you up.
Why is this a when question, rather than an if question?

Maybe it's in Austria, Switzerland, or Luxembourg.
You almost left your wife for a hard-core cleaning lady???
Damn, dude, time for some marital counseling.

Interesting. Why do you believe that?

Well, since you're obviously an unpatriotic Taiwanese, ...
Oh, sorry. I got caught up in the scrum. Never mind.
I'm never going to understand Asian tastes...
OMG. Best. Game. Title. Evar.
Analyses are a dime-a-dozen, and as we know from past experience, analysts are often biased, stupid, or insane.
So does it really matter than one analyst came up with a number that, if true, would make NYT look foolish?

Well, that's because the space is too hot.
Huh? How can space have a temperature?
So it sounds like AMD doesn't get a cut of the EU's Intel fine.
But does the finding of fact in the EU's ruling pave the way for AMD to nail Intel with some kind of civil suit?

I don't really feel like paying $27B so that people in Arizona can have super-duper-fast commute. That's a lot of our cash or the riders' luxury.
Can't they just get a 60 mph version for a lot less money?
So is this France's rejection of EU sovereignty in these matters?
And if so, will consequences might France experience for rejecting an EU ruling?
I'd feel a lot more positive about the NSA's capabilities, if they didn't have a track record of illegal wiretaps.
the five-sided building
...most buildings have a roof and 4 walls, so that doesn't exactly narrow it down.
Yes, but let's assume his building also has a floor.
He works in The Triangle!
Uh, what makes you think that they aren't? Your comment is utterly devoid of value unless you can prove a negative somehow. Good luck!
You really can't prove the negative of a proposition like, "Not (all triangles have three sides)." ?
I suspect you're appealing to some scrap of wisdom that you misheard or misunderstood.

It's just a matter of knowing your audience ;)
