"By "cure" they will mean "throw into a vat of boiling oil""...no they don't, stop letting your imagination run wild. Rather, the Christians have in mind re-education camps. They'll simply talk you to death or insanity.
New York State charges you $25 if you do not efile. They claim to have an agreement with several commercial tax program vendors not to charge you for efile but TurboTax charges you $47 for NYS if you need to buy it separately. My recollection is that state tax code for TurboTax used to cost about $27 last year.
Yep, and until the IRS decides that it is not proper to do deals like this with Turbo Tax, they'll be getting my hardcopy forms. This year, there is a new wrinkle in TurboTax attempting to monetize you. New York State is requiring efiling or the charge you $25. Mysteriously, TurboTax for NYS costs around $47 while the other states (if memory serves correct from previous years) are down around $27.
Yeah, you're right. Law enforcement gives out prizes to their officers knowing precisely where you've been for the last several years. It isn't like they don't have anything else to do. I have my own special policeguy who watches where I am on a monitor because he's just so interested in me. However, I think he periodically switches with the policeguy watching my neighbor just for a little variety.
Business School Product come up with this crap. Think about it, they have nothing to do all day except dream up new ways to impress their bosses, so they try to outdo each other with "new and innovative" ways of driving catt...customers to spend.
And Ron Paul isn't the hope of anyone unless you wish to send the U.S. back to the 1930s.
If you had bothered to read TFA from that paradigm of virtue, the Guardian no less, you'll find:
"The fact that the program has been halted is something that Peter Singer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an expert on drone warfare, suggests may be lost in the attention on the nuclear aspect of the project.
“What people seem to be missing is that the program was not approved.

So it was not approved.”"
They AREN'T building them. Now repeat that several times to yourself, take a pill, calm down, go back to watching the movies.
Wow, I see you've been watching Oliver Stone movies again. Gotta stop doing that, the distortion is not very compelling after one hacks through the lies.
Microsoft had nothing to do with this one. Here's the scene, a bright sunny meeting room at the top of Oracle Central Command. Sun lawyers and Oracle lawyers beadily eye each other across a polished table. Secretaries flutter about delivering yellow legal pads, pencils, and coffee. Uncle Larry has made his appearance and is now off to polish his yacht. The lead Oracle attorney speaks: so about this Java thing, youse guys think this is worth a lot? Sun lawyers: yep, beeelllions and beeellions of dollars. An Oracle attorney, eyes now wide: and do you have any proof? Sun lawyers, smiling to each other: beeelllions, oh yes, Google (of the Chocolate Money Mountain) had been sniffing around for a license but decided to build their own, now we have them right where we want them. Oracle lawyers whisper together and then the lead O. lawyer speaks again: So, youse guys think you take Google for beeellions (attempting to cover the glee in his voice). The Sun lawyers, now observing they have the O. lawyers just where they want them: oh fer sure, fer sure (think Valley Girl speak), like gag me with a spoon.
The rest is history as the Sun lawyers went off to enjoy the world of their dreams. The O. lawyers are about to get their asses handed to them. Uncle Larry is said to sharpening his main mast in preparation for the bloodbath he'll inflict for losing.
That's a specious argument. The person willing to believe science on faith can point to a long line of research to support his/her position whether they understand the research or not. There are *validating* reasons for the conclusions science draws. The person believing in a religion can point to a book with no underlying evidence for its "truths".
You have to remember how a religious conservative connects the dots. The Bible told them they shall have dominion over all the Earth. So they get to do with it what they want even if it makes it unlivable because G-d will fix things before it comes to that. Evolution is pretty much telling them that humans are nothing special, there were alpha and beta versions which means to them that G-d wouldn't be all perfect since he needed practice first. If humans are nothing special, then screwing up the environment is a real possibility. Hence regulations to prevent this are telling religious conservatives that G-d ain't all they've cracked up up to be.
Err...adding MTBE actually increases the cost of producing gasoline, why would the oil companies want to do that? Why is the EPA in league with oil companies to poison Americans? This is some nefarious plot you have going there. I know, I know, people in the EPA have locked down MTBE futures and are making a killing....
That's the argument for fiscal conservatives. It doesn't answer to social conservatives. The religious based social conservatives found the Bible tells them to have dominion over the Earth, so by their G-d, they are demanding dominion and screw the consequences. A bit short sighted there, but they don't feel like shitting in the nest will hurt because G-d will come back and clean it up...errr...or something. The other problem this lot has with science is that it always seems to be telling them things that conflict with the Bible, i.e., humans never road dinosaurs, Neanderthals existed, etc.
The non-religious based social conservatives appear to want to ignore science because it relies on studies. This lot wants to remake society into their own image and science just gets in the way of their preconceived notions.
The left-wing appears to want to cherry pick science to support their agenda which comes across, as you mentioned, as being anti-modern life, let's all get back to real granola, put a bale of hay in your living room for a coffee table. That group wants to believe they can make modern life go away we'll all revert to a golden-time existence when dentistry meant inhuman torture.
Both groups want to deny the fixes for our many real world problems will rely on us getting serious about science. And both groups won't do the obvious, i.e., get science degrees and get to work on solutions, it's more fun to kvetch from the peanut gallery and pillory anyone attempting to fix something.
Last I checked, the American people voted Congress in. I think what you mean is that not enough Americans believe the Congress is as you say it is and so you come here to shriek about it.
What's ridiculous is the way Muslims treat women in general. Yep, that's a value judgment based on Western values, Eastern values, pick any values you like. Treating women like cattle is wrong, it was always wrong, it will always be wrong, and no amount of multi-culty lubrication will ever make it right.
It's a world oil market, Wall Street is only one input. Also, OPEC, while weakened, does control a good part of the supply. Other producers more or less keep in line with OPEC because to dump a lot of oil on the market would decrease the price. There is a long term push for an oil supply crunch due to China, India, and the rest of SE Asia become more industrialized. Add to that the instability of the mideast pushing up insurance rates, that the price remains high is not too difficult to comprehend.
As someone above mentioned, the U.S. is also a net exporter of refined oil products, i.e., gas. There isn't any mystery here either. American consumption is down because of the recession and increased use of more fuel efficient cars. Gas is also an international market. So refiners sell into that market, not strictly the domestic market.
Scientific theories, especially those from the 1900s onward, are rarely proven wrong in the sense of "completely wrong" as I think you believe (maybe you don't). Modern scientific theories, when a problem occurs, are usually proven incomplete or not entirely accurate. Einstein never proved Newton wrong, what he proved was that Newton's theory was not entirely accurate. NASA still uses Newton's theory because sometimes, the relativity of gravity just doesn't make a big enough difference to care about.

I was hoping for "synergistic" and "focus like a laser" to show up. Unless I hear those terms, the company just isn't a serious player in BB.
Hey, so you are going to make the Muslims love the Jews? Or the Hindis love the Muslims? Or FARC love the Colombian people?
You have a weird idea of what causes the world's problems.

Wow, Oracle has had VirtualBox for about 2 years and hasn't screwed it up yet. This must be a new record for them.
Yep, at least until the first plane is taken down from a carry on bomb, then people would be flocking to the TSA airport.

No, it isn't. It is taking a stand for not treating women like cattle.
