I can see the logic in that, it might be a logistical nightmare but it definatly has merit. Just curious [honestly curious, not looking for flamebait here], do you oppose all the tax breaks currently in place for the hummer and excersion as well?
They currently largely have it, a number of politicans have been trying to elimanate what tax breaks there are currently for hybrids while pushing for more tax breaks for the largest suv's.
So fixing the problem for 5 years before having to revisit the issue vs having it corrupted now would be at least better then nothing in my opinon.
And how do tax breaks tell someone what to drive what not to drive, it helps those that want to be eco friendly [which every little bit does help considering pollution costs to the gov in forms of cleaning the air in other ways and pollution related medical bills].
I am not going to tell someone that they need to take their 92 Suburban off the road as long as it isnt a safety hazard, nor their 88 honda accord, yes the pollute more, but without stripping property from people you can't change what is already out there. This would focus on the future because that 86' camery only will go for so long before the owner needs to get a new car.
When did someone say ban car "x". What was suggested is reduce the tax incentives to buy inefficent SUV's [there is NO reason Hummer drivers need massive tax breaks] and give breaks to those that get more enviormentally friendly cars. The gas tax does not fully cover the difference between driving a hummer and a prius since not only does the hummer use way more fuel, it also does considerably more damage to the roads, poses a larger safety hazard for other drivers, and puts out far far more pollutents.
Congrats reading the poster you just replied to. He commented on the fact it should be higher in warmer climates. I don't think anyone is going to argue the need for 4wd vechiles in parts of new england, wyoming, minnasota, etc.
I lost the ability to reproduce to chemo, its very common when going through many types of more intense chemo, and even some radiation treatments will cause it. I should mention I don't want kids so it worked out well.
His point is "Limited freedom" is not freedom, calling something more like flexable actions or something else to mean having options but still having rules/restrictions.
Same thing we had last night on a nonprofit server I keep an eye on as a volunteer job, Until I manually added every address that it was coming from to the access denied lists it was choking the box from spamassassin, even then it still kept the mail server occupied sending out hundreds of thousands of connection refused messages. [I don't have firewall access for the box's network].
Right because we know the rich will happily pay for road maintance, and supporting those that are currently out of work, and things of that nature out of the goodness of their hearts.
On the same argument, members of society should not subsidise the education system from those who cannot or choose to not have children.
Or even better yet, people that don't need social security should not pay into it. Lets just let the top 3% of society stop paying most taxes since they won't use those services.
I am a different asshole but victimless drug abuse even dealing should not be a jail time baised offense, thats why the prisons in America at least, are so overcrowded, a good portion of the people there are in for things like posession of weed.
Drunk driving is not a victimless crime, even if they have not hit someone yet, if they keep doing it statisticlly they will eventully, doing pot a number of times will not make you go rob your neighbor.
And if you do rob your neighbor it is no longer a victimless crime.
If you shoplift it is a crime with a victim, you are taking an item that store no longer has. I don't think shoplifting/petty theft should be jail time offenses but grand larceny should be.
As for movies and music by trading those [I am using distributing here] you are potentionally hurting the sales of the company but you do not cost them money directly. Its the same as if you were to rewrite a novel, and publish and sell it. Hence "copyright infringement", doing that would allow the author/publisher to sue you for damages, the courts would find what was reasonable [normally what you made off of it, plus often a small percentage extra] and make you pay them.
If you distribute a new Dvd release, I could see the courts requiring you to pay 20$ to the movie company for each copy that you sent out and that would be fair.
My point was we have the latest medical technology, I was lucky enough to live in a good area of the country [DC] and have medical insurance. If I had not either I would not have survived at all, or I would be bankrupt and the taxpayers would have footed the bill.
Don't take this as me saying the US has the greatest health care system in the world, for those with money and insurance it is [in most areas] one of the best systems out there. However for the rest of the population it is a completely different matter.
Its amazing to see the effects of obesity both on life span and quality of life. The reason that America has such a higher life span then the rest of the world is due to our medical instatution for those that can afford it. And even those that can't still get emergency help [for 10-20x the cost, straight to the taxpayers over the cost of preventive medicine, but thats another rant fest]. Most of the rest of the world has limited at best medical care, nothing like what we often take for granted.
When I got diagnosed with an aggressive strain of cancer, a lot of what helped save my life was the quick availability of expensive, non common drugs, and what found it was very expensive imaging equipment. These are things that people in the 3rd world never have access to.
We also have amazingly sanitary conditions, which prevents large scale disease here. And all of this has improved drasiticlly over the past 200 years with America, some of Europe, and parts of Asia leading it, the rest of the world lacks because they don't have access to what we have.
Is it just on Windows, I have been browsed using netscape/mozilla/Konqueor/Firefox and have yet to see problems on/., or do I just not see them as problems? What does not render properly?
Wow that was an impressive twisting of the article. Not that I disagree with your point of worthless MBA's but the fact that you somehow turned a software design flaw into the current CEO's fault.
Thanks, thats what I was curious about. I have heard nothing but good things about it so I was wondering if it was a similiar jump in features from IE > Firefox, of if it was more on the overall polished feel that most Apple products have.
I am honestly curious here, [I am not a mac user], what makes Safari better then Firefox are there features out there us *nix users are missing out on?
There is a huge number of deadbeat dads out there that intentionally only take jobs that pay under the table so they can avoid child payments.
A friend just got her first child support check in almost 7 years due to her sleezy ex having to get a job where his boss would report his salary to the gov.

You can often get random dice by the lb on ebay for 10$, plenty of d8s in there.

What criminal style, unbaised, lawsuits being brought forth from Utah, we have never heard of anything like that before...
That was exactly the same thought I had, I just used the rest of my mod points 4 mins ago.
FF3 overworld theme.
Hrmm I do notice a little overlap but not more then a few pixels, guess its just something with my setup. Thanks for answering!

Wow its remarkable, I can give one to your wife in 15 minutes too!. -Sorry cheap shot...

Is it pure altruism? Or is there another revenue source behind this move?
