Yes you can afford it. Assume an officer is getting paid £10/hr. That is a rather cheap cop. Now he normally works 160hr/mo (assuming a 40hr week). The combined citizenry is working well more than 160hr/mo, and only being paid 1000 which is a mere <63% of what the cop was paid. More hours and less pay? You are getting a bargain. Maybe they will shell a couple of more police for a second and third place "prize".
That funny smell coming off the tiny, home rolled, cigarette like thing that doesn't smell like tobacco? Yeah, that smell is coming from the little "bud".
Well, I guess the question then is are you moving to Boise or Athol. In Boise, it's not so bad. In Athol, that pick up line will come in just fine. As for teenage pregnancy, you didn't read yesterdays "news" article about religious states did you?
I don't think they are aware of the weekly FUD Sen. Risch (and formerly Sen. Craig) sends out, and I'm not sure if it counts as spam (though it should) since politicians likely gave themselves an exception in the CAN-SPAM act.
But Microsoft is nearly all of those. Microsoft has broken many laws, but has good enough lawyers their game isn't up yet. They've done more than rooted your PC, they Pwn most. As a corporation, they cannot "be" a politician (yet), but they likely pay a few, and we all know they lobby hard.
So, maybe Mr. Madoff and Blago aren't so bad. They're just small time crooks when stacked against Microsoft.
No. The problem is that the store doesn't sell bread by the slice (for which I would need 4 slices). The bacon I buy comes in a 1lbs package (about 3 slices per sandwich). The Miracle Whip, like the bread, comes by the container which is way more than I would use (about 1/2-1 tsp). The Fritos, though in a similar boat to the other items, tends to be doled out over days, but I buy it to make the sandwich meal complete (Actual use with meal: 1/4-1/2 cup).
Why it was "insightful", I'm not sure. Although I am being honest in saying it costs me about $20 to make a sandwhich, I was trying to be funny. A sandwich for 1 guy can cost a bit since I make about 2 sandwiches a year. Most of it goes to waste. The bread is moldy after being shoved in the back corner of the cupboard by the time I need it again; the "mayo" will expire on the refrigerator shelf, and the lettuce and left over tomato will wilt in the crisper. If the Fritos are not taken to work, then sadly they will go stale. On the good side, bacon never goes to waste. It will be accompanies on Saturday with some eggs and pancakes (I don't really like toast).
A sandwich costs me about $20 to make. When I make it I have to buy new Miracle Whip cause the last one went moldy. That's almost $2. Then I buy a nice loaf of Potato Bread (usually Oroweat); about $4.5. If I don't have mustard, then that's another buck (but truthfully, mustard doesn't go bad any time soon so I usually have some on hand). A couple of roma tomatoes at $0.79/lbs, so figure another buck. A head of lettuce (preferably green leaf or butter) which varies wildly over the year, but say $1.25 for that 'cause it's summer. Then I need some deli style ham and that runs about $4-$5. If I'm making a BLT instead, I'm still paying $4-$5 for a pound of bacon. Since I'm having a sandwich, I need Frito-Lays which are usually around $3. I also need some cottage cheese for another $2.5 and a piece of fruit to slice (which is where your apple comes in) and put on the cottage cheese for another $0.75. Then to put all this down, I need a nice glass of cold milk, so I spend another $1.75 on a quart of whole milk unless I'm feeling particularly good, then I go over to the dairy and buy theirs for $2.50 cause it is way better than I can get at the store.
I will admit, I loved my Amiga. It was my only friend. It was awesome in its day. I held the banner of Amiga zealot proudly until '95.
Today, I see the Mac fanbois and Linux zealots, and I harbor scorn and envy. There is no platform that deserves such a pedestal. Not just because the Amiga died, but through it's death I could see the world for the cold place it is. OSes & manufacturers will come and go. Apple will die, and Linux will fade. I know not when, but they will. Yet, I am envious of the fanaticism these people hold. The joy they get from the belief their system is superior to all else. I remember when I had faith in Commodore and wish for those days of old.
Today, I move quietly from machine to machine and hold no special attachment to any OS. They are all the same despite their differences.
Once. A few years ago. There was a brief moment I thought I heard the song of BSD, but I turned around and it was just a wrinkled old harlot clearing her throat.
No, the Amiga died, and so did my passion. I miss my old friend, but there will be no more friends like her. Now we only visit -- in the still of the night -- when I am fast asleep.
Corporate tax is a myth. A tax on a corporation is simply passed along to the consumer. Therefore, a corporation is simply a mechanism used by "the government" as a tax collector of the consumer.
However, in our current system, the plutocracy controlling the corporate "entities" wield the power of representation as though they paid the taxes from their own pockets.
By "devolve", I was implying a perception of "changed". And by "no idea of what you are mumbling", I mean to say that the language is currently in a state of change. A bit more than 100 years from now, English is likely to be a rather different language. Over the last century, words have come and words have gone; this will continue. Add to that we are currently under what may be another "Great Vowel Shift", but at least a minor vowel shift, four generations after you may not understand much of what you said. If you also add that you great great grand child may live in a different country or part of the country, it really adds to the likelihood of not understanding each other.
Massive propagation of literacy and mass communication is not stopping, nor is it going to stop these changes. What it does though, is document social and geographic differences in dialect. It will document how the language (d)evolves over time.
Shift does happen. I suspect it will happen quicker than you realize.
In linguistics, we discussed how the older generations always think the young people are ruining the language. How language is always in a state of devolution from when the one pondering it remembers their youth. So, ever since the first speakers, language has devolved. Just for the record, your Proto-Indo-European is horrible. By the same token, your great great grand children will have no idea what you are mumbling.
Well, I gave up tv in 04/05, but I'm not one of the "younger" audience. I'm 37. I grew up on TV. It was my babysitter and a member of the family. There were no video games or DVDs. We were too poor to own an Atari, and I was almost 10 before we would rent a VCR to watch a movie. So, kicking the TV habit took a bit more than you young whipper-snappers. But I started with TiVo in 01.
See, and I've worked for the Military, the State of Idaho, and currently a software company. They all required drug tests to start and the military tested regularly (nearly every month). All of the employers have in the contract that I could be tested at any time with or without reason. My current employer also states that if I am ever convicted of drug use or I test positive, that it is grounds for immediate termination. So, I'm not sure where you live; Amsterdam? And yeah, I have known people being terminated by the military and state for drug use. This company is rather small, so I'm not sure anyone here partakes in such activities.
Okay, I didn't RTFA. Let me pose a couple of questions: How often have we found a way to squeeze more bits into a frequency range? Do you really believe we know everything there is to know about the physics of the universe to say there is nothing more we can learn to squeeze more bits into that frequency range?

Maybe not, but Tiffany's data may become twisted as she txts from teh b3nz.
I figured they were talking about "Warm smell of colitas" to mean that Could computing stinks like *ss.
Well, maybe they were thinking BnL from Wall-E or Costco from Idiocracy.
I thought it was funny too, but we're getting our first snow of the season today.

I got a chuckle out of that too.
If they're going to drool into the keys and ruin it, they're too young.
If they're going to type at me all day, they're too young.
I'm sorry grandpa; you're just too young to have a cellphone. You keep drooling on it, and you won't stop texting me about Matlock.

but then TV got boring. So, I canceled all of that years ago. It's a shame they are becoming a troll though, cause I really liked it way back when.
