I like where you're going with that. Only instead of running over the internet, why not set up broadcast towers all over the country to beam the data straight to stand-alone computer monitors with built-in tuners?
Last I checked, we don't have a Disposable Income Tax. We have an Income Tax. If you want to be fair on an Income Tax, then you assign a single tax rate that applies to each unit of income.
As far as Schedule A goes, anyone can fill it out. You don't need a mortgage deduction to "activate" it. The only reason a lot of people don't bother with Schedule A is that there is a standard deduction which is often higher than what you'd write off in Schedule A. My mortgage deduction alone has never been higher than my standard deduction, but with all of the other write-offs available, it is higher. In fact, all of my other Schedule A write offs are usually enough to beat standard without my mortgage interest.
Run an amortization schedule on $120K at the rate you expect to have. Places like bankrate.com have them and they'll break down how much you pay in interest each month. Adding those up by year will tell you how much to expect writing off. And keep in mind that the amount of your payment that goes towards interest goes down each month for a fixed rate mortgage.
In the style book my wife has to use for teaching in the State of Georgia, the way you posted is correct. However, when my wife and I were kids, we both learned to omit the final s: Norris'
No, it's not the same. Sports games are simulators. When people play flight simulators, they generally want the planes to be based on real planes. When people play racing games, they generally want them to be based on real cars. When people play Guitar Hero, they want to play songs they've at least heard of. When people play sports games, they want the teams to be based on real teams. A fun game engine is a must-have for a simulator, but filling that world with familiar objects is also important.
How about a little birthday song, just for Mr. Shatner:
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...
My FLAC goes up to 25-bits. It's not 24. You see, most blokes will be playing at 24-bit. You're on 24 all the way up, all the way up, all the way up. You're on 24 on your 24-bit. Where can you go from there? Where? Put it up to 25-bit.
Did you really not follow along or were you just trying to find an opportunity to shove in a snarky comment about Kindle's browser shortcomings? The publishers of paid content pay 'delivery charges' to Amazon that subsidize the 3G costs. Even though you didn't "buy" Wikipedia from the publishers, they still paid the cost for you to access it. As far as what you can access, I've found that it's no worse than non-smartphones. I can run my email, Facebook, Google Voice, and the mobile versions of weather.com and ESPN with it. Other sites can very much be a pain.
What does using the Internet illegally have to do with cheating? There's a huge difference between downloading the newest Ke$ha song and plagiarizing a source online for your paper (where the 61.9% figure comes from).
As a consumer I support net neutrality, but what the FCC is implementing isn't it. This is worse than nothing. What is wrong with the world when Al Franken is the voice of reason?
"They're the only company to ever REMOVE an official feature from a functioning console."
To be fair, updating the console after the sale is a pretty new phenomenon. But consoles lose features all the time. The Atari 5200 lost two controller ports and the Master System lost the slot used with their 3D glasses. I'm sure there are others examples. That's not exactly what you're talking about since only the new consoles were affected but it's as close as you can get for consoles that you couldn't really update.
With visuals, we build everything out of red, green, and blue. With sound, we vibrate speaker cones to get a variety of sounds. Do such basic building blocks exist for smell? Are there base smells which can mix to make a wide variety of smells or will each game be limited to the scents the game-specific carts? Without a universal system in place for smells, I don't see smell ever being a major component in gaming.
I worked for a place where everyone was expected to have their own PCs for work. It was an f'ing nightmare. It's all well and good to say that PC issues aren't the IT Deparment's problem... until your best salesman cruds up his computer from spending all of his free time looking at porn and playing poker online. So he's out there not making money which makes the company furious. They can't just fire him because he's worth too much. If only they had someone who knew how to fix PCs.
Hey you know who knows a lot about fixing PCs? The IT Department. Why don't you guys do us a solid and fix the golden boy's PC so he can get some work done. You know... just this once.
You could probably argue that the majority of Pentagon employees are members but with one million members I highly doubt the majority of PenFed members are Pentagon employees.
I think the only reason Pentagon is in the title is for the prestige. It's wicked cool when you pull out your credit card with a huge Pentagon on it to pay your bar tab. It's also cool when the lady at the tag office looks over your new car paperwork and asks you wide-eyed, "Do you work for the Pentagon?" (To which I have a canned Chevy Chase reply: "No... not anymore.")
What do you mean by "your security?" Are you under the mistaken impression that PenFed is a government entity? It's a credit union like any other. It's charter just happens to define its common bond as those involved in the military. This is not the droid you're looking for.
As another PenFed customer, I'm surprised they didn't contact you. They sent me a letter a few days ago explaining the situation and offering 2 years of free enrollment in one of those identity theft tracking services. I also have a new credit card and number being mailed to me.
I'm not happy about the situation but how they're handling it is everything I've come to expect from PenFed.
It's all a matter of priorities. Even at $100 I'm not interested. I get all of my TV and movie content online, over-the-air, or from RedBox. RedBox is still predominately DVD and if they have something in BluRay you have to pay a premium for it. Thanks, but no thanks.
I'd consider BluRay if RedBox dropped DVD or severely cut the selection of DVDs but even then it's not a slam dunk because I'm pretty sure I'd have to buy an actual player instead of just adding a drive to my HTPC (It's not the fastest machine on earth). I don't want more crap in my living room.

I definitely meant "wary" though I do agree that the misspelling also makes sense.
Because we haven't strip-mined the past enough. I'm impressed by the results but weary of its implications.

Was Babbages still around then? The ones I remember all closed in the mid-90's after the Software Etc merger.
So is my Pre-Order from Electronics Boutique still good?

It's better than "You're holding it wrong."

So a private company having a security breach is evidence that the US government can't keep anything secret or secure?

They extended me two free years of credit monitoring service in addition to reissuing my cards. You might see if you can get the same.
