They didn't list Taiwan in that article but there is an additional problem here, they have two different ways of counting years. One is using western years, and the other is using dynasty, the latest having started in 1911, making this year 98. When I first moved to Taiwan in 2006 I thought they were trying to sell me 11 year old milk when the container said good till 95/08/01.
Or the other 9 million are children without credit/debit cards and can't buy music online, so their parents( the 8 million ) help them buy it, therefore showing an increase in sales still, although the total number of "unique customers" has shrunk.
If they understated the number of blacklisted URLs by 1000, then there were 2300 when there should have been 1300. If they understated the amount of URLs blacklisted by 1000, then while there were actually 2300, there should only have been 2.3.
I am pretty sure you meant the former, not the latter. Please try harder next time.
I'm not sure why the parent post is modded troll, he makes a joke based on a play on words. It should have been modded funny, but now no one gets to see it.
I would just like to make one point, that being pretty much all sectarian churches are formed by people leaving the catholic church, or nowadays, by people that have left churches that were formed by people that left the catholic church, and so and and so forth to how ever many degrees you want.
Yeah, but they kill you with the Social Security Tax, at least income tax you can claim deductions, but with SS and Medicaid it comes out to 15.3% of net profits. I'm a contractor by the way.
...I just hope they block overseas views so our taxes don't pay for that bandwidth. Just like the the BBC does with it's feeds.
I am an American citizen but I live overseas, I wouldn't like having it blocked, I try to stay up to date on things happening in the US and I still have to pay US taxes on all of my income.
I wouldn't really like that very much, seeing how I live in Taiwan currently, and although Taiwan is its own country our great new Secretary of State refuses to admit it to the Chinese.
I still work for a US company and use a vpn to communicate back and forth. I am sure there are also plenty of US workers in China that do the same. If I can't use my vpn then I can't do my work.
Why should the government be able to look at everything that I do, I thought that there was the right to privacy, or do we not believe in extending that to others. Many have quoted the words of Franklin concerning those willing to give up rights for security; I think we may also do well to remember the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as thou wouldst have them do unto you."
I live in Taiwan and bought my girlfriend a Hello Kitty cellphone for Valentines day, it is white with pink highlights; her friend has the black edition and they both love them.
The civil war was fought over state rights, not slavery, that was added into the war and has been overplayed by media and reverse-racists. It was a similar situation to today where the federal government is getting out of control with spending and regulations.
The constitution of the United States does not forbid a state from seceding from the union.
Another thing, the emancipation proclamation only released slaves in states in the confederacy if they did not rejoin the union by January 1, 1863. It did not free slaves in the US, for fear of driving more states away by trumping states decisions on slavery.
My problem with calling it "7" is that I live in Taiwan where 7-11's are on nearly ever street and that almost every one just calls it "7", using English none the less. So when I hear "7" I think of a convenient store.
The thing is you cannot have freedom of speech and censorship at the same time. The freedom of speech is one of the most precious freedoms that we have, the freedom to express ideas and opinions. I may not agree with what a lot of people say but they have the right to say it. The power ultimately is in the hands of the people, there may come a time when the military has to choose to either side with the elected official or to side with the people, but that day will not come while the people sit idly still getting trampled upon.
You're right, you don't know your chinese numerology.
Even numbers are lucky in chinese culture, (except the number 4 because it rhymes with death). You are thinking of western culture where numbers such as 3,7 and 9 are considered lucky. For example, the 21 shot salute being made of 7 people firing 3 shots.
I lived in Taiwan for a while and it is illegal to serve dog there, although that doesn't stop certain shady places from selling "good smelling meat", which is just a codeword meaning you want to eat dog. Never tried it myself but that's what the natives tell me.
It has seemed very strange to me seeing all the hype about global warming and such since I was young, yet seeing years like these recent ones where we are hitting some pretty long cold stretches, this year particularly. Are we or are we not actually having "global warming"?
As I lived in Taiwan for awhile I noticed that outside every college were at least three or more print shops. I went and got a book for learning chinese copied (because for some reason you can't really find any good books on learning chinese in Taiwan), which was around 300 pages; took less than a day, high quality, and cost about $10USD. I have even gotten some other books that I had bought shrunk there to make them easier to carry.
At one point we needed too much proof so we started printing a lot of it; proof then went down in value due to inflation and is now lower than the US Dollar.
I have seen a van for Pickled Pics driving around. I have never done any business with them but they seem to do exactly what you want. Hope this helps.
I would say good, then the wealthy people can line the pockets of the mega-pharmaceudicals and have the wealthy pay all the costs for the creation of the drugs. The costs has to be payed for somehow, in someway, by someone. If it saves thousands of wealthy peoples lives then they may feel a little bit more obliged to donate more to the research and development to lower the costs so that it CAN make it into the hands of the poor and needy without them having to sell their house in order to receive the treatment or causing the "evil" mega-pharmaceudical companies to go bankrupt from giving away all of their products because it saves lives for this one disease without the forsight of needing to create the new drug for the new disease that comes to kill us next./* sorry for the run on sentence */
is found on this website. I watch some movies in german with german subs. I read some books in germarn and mostly try to avoid my german-english dictionary if at all possible. I found that reading out loud is a good way to practice saying words and to start recognising the sounds of words when you hear them.
using Vonage for nearly six months now and have had no trouble with their service. I do have some trouble with my phone getting caller ID and not ringing, but that is a case for another day.
To know better what that verse means you should also take a lesson on when the books of the New Testament were written. The Book of Revelation written by John the Divine was written while he was in exile around 68 AD. His other book, the Gospel according to St. John was written at a much later date, some saying as late as the second century. With that we can conclude that his Gospel should be excluded from the New Testament which was not canonized until the fourth century.
Another reference to look into is Deuteronomy 4:2. If you want to be really picky you could say that anything after Deuteronomy should be discarded and considered blasphemy since it says:
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
In conclusion the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is not put at ends with the passage that you quoted.

Should probably make museum possessive:
That reads a bit better now. Have fun!

But David won, right?

For me it was more of the previous stories about Wal-Mart selling linux boxes combined with other stories of $100 laptops.
I noticed the spelling but thought it was just another person with a quirky way of spelling Wal-Mart, e.g. wally world.
