Yes, this free market thing's just not working out. Maybe we could have everyone that wants to open a store check with a central planning office in DC first.
If I could return them at walmart I'm assuming they could scan them as returned and I would save the 3 days it takes to mail them back. Not neccessarily a valid assumption I suppose, but it seems likely to me they would scan them there just to make sure they have a record of what went into the system.
Yes, I'm offended. Maybe in very rural areas of less than 40 people:) The big difference from living in the big city is I hear gunshots slightly more often. Of course I no longer run to lock my door when I do.
I thought so too, especially as they were planning on being able to return at any walmart. That would have really increased the number of movies I watched. All in all though it's not a bad thing. Some of the more obscure movies I wanted walmart didn't carry and I think netflix will.
It always griped me that the trucking company I worked for paid the truck drivers 2.5 times what they paid their programmers. I could step in and drive that truck tomorrow and they'd never know the difference. Somehow I suspect the coding might not get done as well with a teamster doing it.
Voltage is not an amount of electricity. That's like saying you need 10 psi of air. If you're blowing up a balloon that's great, if you're blowing up a tractor tire that's a problem.
That's exactly the problem. The company I worked for gladly payed $60,000 a year for people to work on their trucks and spent money on continueing education. But the guys that work on the computers get half that.
The sad thing is nothing much happens if they can't fix one of the trucks. If one of the servers can't get fixed they have a real problem.

Yes, I hate the xp icons. My quicklaunch bar is now a row of indistingishable blue icons, and if that's not bad enough every few days they rotate a position or 2. My quicklaunch bar has become roulette.
I noticed you said "it's been postulated" Most fundamentalist I know don't mind a documentary of evolution as long as you throw in a few "scientists think" and "it's theorized" I don't think that's too much to ask.
Yes, it's already happened in trucks. Often the difference between a 300hp truck and a 500hp truck is just software. The difference between the brands is almost just the cab. They've outsourced everything else and the same companyies make the parts for everyone.
That's pretty funny. Someone who supports evolution complaining about that another theory can't be tested and offers no predictive power. Creationism may be psuedoscience but evolution isn't any better. It can't be tested, and when it's proven wrong the proponents quickly change the theory to fit the facts without ever considering the theory may be wrong. Another sure sign a theory is psuedoscience.
Practically all the "facts" I learned in school turned out to be mistaken, or just out and out lies. I spent considerable time memorizing charts of horses evolving from tiny 5 toed animals to large hoofed animals only to find out later that someone just made all that stuff up, the specimens presented where not in chronoligical order and not even from the same continent. If you have to intentionally mislead people then maybe you're supporting a psuedoscience too.
Creationism obviously has a lot of problems but so does evolution. I'm still waiting for an answer to the question I asked in 9th grade. The showed a picture of a flounder and said over millions of years his eye moved from one side to the other. What possible natural selection process would select a fish with an eye 1/1000 of inch higher than the other? I can see having it all the way would be a great benifit but unless there was a sudden mutation it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
Agreed this is horrible. I used to be able to find my group immediately by typing a keyword and hitting search all groups and it was listed at the top of the page. When I do that now I get a spanish group thats barely used.
Secondly, I only read about 1 in 50 posts. I can tell from the subjects if I want to read it. I don't need a preview. What I need is a large list of subjects like I had before.
Yep, we have pizza delivery. We have Taco Bell, MacDonalds, and Sonic and a Walmart super center. We even have broadband. The main differnece is the payments on my 5 bedroom house are less than my former coworkers pay in property tax on theirs.
Seeing as how both major parties are for free trade and the equalization of the standard of living in all counties I don't see how you can blame this on Bush.
You don't necessarily have to have emulation for that. I have most of my 2600 games on a single cart that cost less than I sometimes paid for a single cart in the old days. I also have a hard drive controller attached to the expansion port of my colecovision.
Yes, you do. Look up caveat emptor. That's the free market at work. Nobody's going to hold your hand and help you pick what you want to buy. If you want to buy a poorly made product that's your choice. What you want is a magic product that costs the same as one cheaply made but lasts forever. Good luck with that.
Caveat emptor? Buyer beware. Did somebody change the laws since I was in junior high school? You bought something that should have cost $250 for $150 and now your complaining because it broke instead of lasting forever? Since when can you sue somebody for that? What's wrong with you people. That's how the free market econmy works. Some companies put out good products that cost more and some people buy them. Other companies put out junk for less and other people buy those. Next time buy from a reputable company if you want a product that lasts forever. Duh.
Trucks didn't just explode under Bush. They've been exploding since the 80's. And it's because the goverment tried to force everyone to drive tiny plastic boxes. Most people don't want to drive tiny plastic boxes and no amount of legislation is going to change that. The only thing you could do is tax gas until it's $3 a gallon which is extremely regressive, and pretty much guaranteed to get you voted out.

That's the whole point of the article. The rate is slowing for that very reason.

Yes, when I saw he'd picked Kerry the other day I knew Bush was in.
That's because the dealer you purchased it from was concerned about his reputation and good will. I don't think anyone has accused MS of this.
