I dropped my landline due to all the telemarketing calls I was getting and switched to my cellphone exclusively. I did this over two years ago and have yet to get a telemarketing call on my cell. And I haven't sign up for any do-not-call lists.
I think one reason many blogs fail is because the blogger didn't set up a posting schedule beforehand. Many blogs that I like to read promise they will put up a new post every Sunday, or every M-W-F or whatever works for them. I like it because I know when to look for new posts and also because it shows commitment on the blogger's part to the blog.
I'm 24, and I'm not planning on getting any retirement money from either the government or any company that I work with. Many of my friends who are around my age also share the same beliefs. We're not worried about the fate of social security simply because we don't expect it to exist by the time we qualify for benefits.
I also expect to work past the age of 65, simply because I can't imagine sitting around and doing nothing for 35+ years.
What I am doing is saving as much as I can so that in 40 years or so, I have the option to work less or not at all so I can pursue things like volunteer activities, traveling, and hobbies.
As I see it, we're slowly shifting over to the privatization of retirement benefits. By the time I get there, we'll be switched over and only the truly destitute might get something from the government.
Actually, I regularly play with family members in other states on the Xbox. It's helped us socialize between family reunions since it's not always easy to drive several hundred miles to meet up. When we do get together in person though, we end up playing on a Wii.
Forgive me if this sounds like an ignorant comment, but wouldn't be possible to set some kind of limit on the banner ads. That is, tell Google that you're willing to pay up to a total of $X per month for clicks. Once that limit is hit, Google wouldn't run any more ads for the store until the next month or you increase the limit. If it's not possible to do this, it might not be a bad idea to suggest to Google.
I agree. I would pursue a graduate degree if I felt the reward would be worth it. However, in my field of work (TV broadcasting), pretty much anything above a bachelor's degree is useless. Most stations/production companies aren't going to pay more for having a grad school education. When I think of other friends in different fields, the same applies to most of them as well unless they are in the legal, medical or education fields.
Actually, it seems to me based on the article that it's not so much the 90% losing ground so much as the top %10 is gaining ground much faster then everyone else.
Not so easy if the shredded page is mixed up with lots of other shredded pages. Besides, if you're going to prowl the neighborhood for sensitive info, it would be easier to go to Joe Schmoe's can and go through that if Joe doesn't shred his stuff. Now you don't even have to bother with the jigsaw puzzle (the rotten bananas from last week might be a nastier problem though.:P).
Yes, I realize that audio engineers use a lot of other instruments besides the ones attached to their head, which is why I figured it was unlikey. It would be fantastic if somebody posts the real reason.
One possiblity is that electronics/audio people often do have to work in situations where they wear a headphone with just a left-ear input (this is in situations like a TV station or film crew where the audio person needs to communicate with other people on set). Because of that left-ear only design, the workers might have slightly worse hearing in the left then in the right and compensate for it during recording.
It's a stretch, but it might be a possiblity.
I have been using a Rakgear (http://www.rakgear.com/) for over two years at college and it's held up well. It's large and roomy and has some places for power cords and such. The main disadvantage is that it's expensive (around $80-90).
My only perk is $5.25/hour and some control over when I work (although it's normal for shifts to start at 4AM).
Then again, maybe the fact that I'm a part-time worker who is also full-time college student has something to do with the lack of perks . . .

Actually, I've been able to use my cell phone in several different hospitals now. Their policies changed over the last few years to allow them.

Also, DA nominees have to be 16 or older to be considered. This teen was 14.

Come on, surely everyone knows what a nonesevent is! That word deserves to be in the dictionary!
Actually, the better question is why didn't we leave him there?
Maybe there's a mothership hanging around somewhere . . .
Guess someone will just have to build some lego heatsinks and fans for that computer . . .

And all this time I thought it was a glorified Industrial Light and Magic ad.
Nah. I think they might hear "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or "Over the Rainbow".
Sounds like a cheesy idea to me . . .
Perhaps this guy got a little mixed-up in acting class. "No, no, you're not trying to be infamous. You're trying to be famous!"
