You first. And that means no accepting rides in other peoples' cars, and no home deliveries since that always involves cars. Nothing but a bike or you're a hypocrite.
If Muslims refuse to fly because of these scanners, terrorism will have been defeated after all. Maybe the TSA is a little smarter than we give them credit for.
You've obviously never driven in a big city. You would NEVER get to make a left turn at a non-left-arrow intersection if you waited behind the line until there was no oncoming car in sight. And you've also never made a left out onto a busy four lane road if you've never waited in the middle to pull into traffic.
EVERY city with a red light camera has done this. Its the only way the cameras are profitable. And since the cameras are always administered by a politically connected private company, they will ONLY be installed if profitable.
I don't think someone could sue you (legitimately) and have a case just because somebody else on your ISP's network was spewing viruses or other attacks. If it was running on your own in-house network that you control, it would be a different story. But someone can't be held responsible for what their ISP allows in other areas of the network they have no control over.
Actually, its Eastern European culture. Due to the large number of immigrants, it has rubbed off on New York and other big cities around the world as well. Doing business with anyone from Russia or former Soviet Bloc nations is a GUARANTEED way to get ripped off.
The IOC is one of the most greedy organizations in the world. Profit is all they care about, not amateur athletics. How many of the members make huge salaries, and for doing what? The host city pays ALL the construction costs for the games. The sponsors and broadcasters pay ALL the cost of the games themselves. What does the IOC do other than take kickbacks from potential host cities? Keep the Olympics, disband the IOC and start over.
The IRS won't tax you on your refund itself, but they will absolutely tax you on the interest. All at once. Then again, it will only be paid at.5% or whatever minimum level they use.
Do you have the same level of outrage for members of congress who piss away your tax money on frivolous things like this? Pigs like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, George W and others of their ilk cost us far more than all tax cheats combined.
The amount of interest they would pay (especially over the long term) would make even the worst mutual funds look attractive. And then when you file your return and get a massive refund, you'll be taxed on the piddly amount of interest all at once. This is the worst retirement planning advice I've ever heard.

Both of the articles linked in the summary (which you obviously did not read) stated that computer programmers are the least likely group to be dodging taxes as consultants, compared to other occupations. In other words, your flawed analogy is completely backwards.
Yes, but this being Slashdot it is critical to play up the paranoia aspect for all its worth. Don't let facts get in the way of a good tinfoil-hat conspiracy rant. We must maintain the illusion that any and all privacy will be lost forever if any employer uses a fingerprint time clock.
Sadly, Adobe has turned into Symantec. A once-innovative software company now being plundered by MBA/PHB/Marketroid types only looking for short-term profit. Things will only reach a turning point once corporate IT departments stop installing Acrobat Reader and Adobe is forced by the market to innovate again.

Fuck you for perpetuating the problem and contributing nothing toward the solution.

Nothing in this decision or in the law says that molesters will be imprisoned forever without trial. Nothing at all.
Only to the politically connected.

Yep. There's no such thing as a temporary tax.

What fun would Slashdot be without all the know it all self-righteous pricks like Red Flayer?

Diebold seems like a company that has been living off its reputation for the last couple of decades and pumping out high-cost junk, much like Sony.
Your tin foil hat is wearing thin, time for a new one.

The problem is, the people of the UK support their ass-backwards freedom-hating government.
And as we all know, its wrong to have insider information... unless you are a high roller.
Good cars can be built in the U.S. so long as the UAW isn't involved.

This is pretty much the official policy everywhere. The practical implementation of the policy, however, is a different matter entirely.
