Up until a few years ago, Cathay Pacific had clamshell non-reclining economy seats. You slide your entire chair forward to get some recline. I absolutely loved it, but apparently everyone else hated it. They took it all out a few years ago and replaced it with the traditional reclining seat. I doubt it'll make a come back anytime soon anywhere.
Also commented a few weeks ago. My senator (NY) sent me a couple of follow up emails since. They're canned emails, but at least someone is reading them.
The site in question has been hosting malware on and off for over a year now. They were flagged at least half a dozen times by google over the past year for hosting malware. The site then went down for weeks while overhauling the entire forum software and then bam, this happens. Unfortunately some very good discussions happen on the site and I just can't quit using it.
We also ditched $1 and $2 paper currency for $1 and $2 coins. That was also a good move in getting rid of those ratty dollar bills. The US cold easily do the same thing as you already have $1 coins in circulation. About the only people who will notice a change are the strippers who will now have use their coin slots.
Wait what? How am I suppose to tip strippers without $1 bills!?!
If not to buy Apple, what’s the substitute – Samsung? Don’t you know that Samsung’s products are from its OEM factory in Tianjin? Samsung workers’ income and benefits are even worse than those at Foxconn. If not to buy iPad – (do you think) I will buy Android Pad? Have you ever been to the OEM factories for Lenovo and ASUS? Quanta, Compaq factories of other companies are all worse than those for Apple. Not to buy iPod – (do you think) I will buy Aigo, Meizu? Do you know that Aigo’s Shenzhen factory will not pay their workers until the 19th of the second month? If you were to quit, fine, I’m sorry, your salary will be withdrawn. Foxconn never dares to do such things. First, their profit margin is higher than peers as they manufacture for Apple. Second, at least those foreign devils will regularly audit factories. Domestic brands will never care if workers live or die. I am not speaking for Foxconn. I am just speaking as an insider of this industry, and telling you some disturbing truth. — Anonymous.
Yeah, I know it's unlikely, but if Apple or anyone else can pull it off, it'd be a huge reason for me to buy a new TV. The cable boxes are old, slow, and clunky.
I was indeed thinking of a similar launch strategy as the iPhone. Maybe they can bring the satellite companies into play as well.
* Runs any of the 500,000 apps in the App Store w/ iPhone/iPod/iPad as controller.
* AirPlay becomes more fluid, maybe uses new Bluetooth chips in the 4S (currently uses wifi and can be extremely laggy depending on your home wifi setup).
* Opens up new API that allows apps to overlay menu/images over TV signal (Don't like ESPN's stats on the game? Download XYZ app w/ real time stats + chat.)
* Allows Siri on iPhone 4S to control the TV, setup DVR times, search through recordings, etc.
* Announces a deal w/ TWC/Comcast/Verizon/etc to replace their cable boxes reducing my number of remotes from 3 to 1 (or 0 if I can use my iPhone).
Brazil did it briefly but then after a couple of months it just dropped off for some reason. It's already a pain in the ass to get the visa if you don't already have it. More fingerprinting and picture taking might stem the inflow of tourist dollars.
Are you nuts? Do you know how angry the strippers get when you start throwing $1 coins at them? Have you ever gone to a strip club in Canada and have to deal with looney coins?
When I flew back from Colombia, they actually did check and squeeze the breasts of every female passenger before they got on the plane. Man, I just wanted to stand there and watch.
The dataset contains personal information including first and last name, SSN, last known address, and telephone number of at least 2 individuals. There are a few more with SSN and full first and last names.
One person was apparently trying to locate another person and entered the search query. So it's not even about you giving up the data, it could be anyone that knows you and is searching online on your name. This release is bad news.
Spend it on getting laid. You will NEVER have as good of an opportunity to lay college girls again. A few thousand may seem like a lot now but it's nothing once you start working.
The average portfolio manager would've never been able to earn the amount he has over his career. He has a special talent of being able to identify and invest in great companies. These 10 years, he has compounded his money more than any portfolio manager could ever dream of doing. The net effect is more money for more charitable causes.
You didn't think a foundation is going to spend it all over 10 years did you? They hire someone to manage the money and work off whatever gains that portfolio manager is able to generate. Plus they take a nice fee on top of that. Why hire some average manager when the best is willing to do it for free?
PPA is basically an organization funded by Party Poker. It serves as a way for an offshore entity to funnel money onshore and make it look like a grassroots organization for poker players.
When PPA first started, Party Poker gave every new member a $100 bonus. It cost $15 to join PPA (or $20 if you want a tshirt). PRTY is continuing to get players to join PPA by giving any new PPA members $25 in their account.
If the number of players from the US decrease dramatically b/c of this bill, PRTY is basically done. People won't stop gambling but they won't be doing it with offshore online poker operations.
I quit my first job after seeing exactly what you described here.
The mass exodus will continue as the smart people get jobs elsewhere. We've lost quite a few people but that doesn't seem to worry management. Just ship everything off to India! They're take care of it.

I've opened a lot of accounts in the last 3 years with nothing attached to them for older people. It can absolutely be done.

I used a 26" LCD TV for 8 years as my living room TV. Not everyone has the space to upgrade to a 55" TV. Especially not when living in Manhattan.

Citibank is now offering 5%. FDIC insured and will not lose value like a money market fund.

We have the technology. But we don't want to spend a lot of money.
