In the US, tv writers are contractually forbidden to read pilot scripts for their shows.
I wonder if we're seeing a similar effect - where the WAR team didn't want to be unduly influenced (read: steal) from WoW, so they intentionally avoided looking at WoW.
So if we assume they make a billion dollars a year gross, once we subtract the licensing fees for the Oracle databases, they're down to $150 to pay all of their DBAs.
Mara Liasson(sp), NPR's political correspondent, carries water for the Right.
Listen to the way she frames everything when dealing with the 2 campaigns. Her coverage is one of the major reasons I didn't contribute to NPR this year.
Because you're right, his statement was "banks pay us" and my rebuttal didn't directly address it. Here's the gist:
Banks set traps now with fees to essentially "take back" the interest payments made. It's no longer a case of a bank's interest in loans covering the interest they pay out in savings - now fees make up 40% of that revenue.
This has changed the fundamental relationship between most banks and their customers. For example - if I mess up and accidentally make one too many transactions from my savings account, the fee associated with transaction 10 will not only wipe out the interest generated that month, but the two months prior.
The idea that they "pay us" for our money is cute and they'll defend it, but the hidden fees and the contortions required of customers to avoid such fees betray the true profit centers.
Interest rates are no longer the lifeblood of banks. These days fees and other non-interest income account for more than 40 percent of a bank's revenue and contribute about the same percentage to the bottom line.
The taliban isn't finished in Afghanistan. If you're watching the news, we're losing that front because of forces committed elsewhere. The ones in, you know, Iraq.
Why don't you YouTube Dick Cheney's interview post-Gulf War I when he's asked directly on why we didn't take out Saddam in the early nineties.
His arguments all came true. But this time he made a killing on it financially so what's a few dead soldiers, right?
Fuck, man, ideological blindness is just sad. Think for yourself. Question authority.
HRC's campaign was a text-book example of incompetent management bordering on fraud.
They expected to seal the deal on Super Tuesday; hence no major operations in any state afterwards, and subsequently dropped state after state.
Caucuses, actual primaries, didn't matter. She didn't think those states were "in play" and therefore had an inadequate ground organization.
You can look at her inability to stay on message, her inability to recognize the "YouTube factor" in modern politics exposing both lies and blatant pandering, and in general ran a horrid campaign.
The Dem Primary was (mostly) HRC's to lose. And she did so handily.

I'm never gonna give it up. He has hot friends who send him photographs.
Those aren't traffic cameras - those are the CCTV cameras that are actually used to prosecute crimes.
The traffic cameras in Chicago are little white dilly-boppers above the lights that will flash if someone's in the intersection when the lights change.
Completely different cameras, otherwise I'd be getting about a million speeding tickets.

I SAID NO CONSEQUENCES!
Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, Advent, Damnation . . . skip Watershed though, it stinks on ice.
There is plenty to drink about these days...
Been that way for a while, if you ask me
If you play something like Team Fortress 2, a medic vs. a soldier or demoman has 0% chance of survival,
You've obviously never seen me play a soldier.
Not only will it not count, but you'll probably be interrupting somebody's gym class. Matey.
It would certainly explain why time seems to move slower whenever I'm talking to certain coworkers.
Are the reasons your extensive diamond knowledge will never come in handy.

I didn't even hear about it until I got into work, otherwise I would have called in quake. (just like the bad old days)

At least on Armitage and Ashland; I think Irving Park and Western is unmarked.
Crocodiles are relatives of alligators, but are not the same animal. I know it's confusing because they're very scary animals.
Maybe a /pedantic mod, or an offtopic, but troll? Stupid stupid moderators.
In the parking lot is a billboard, which in 1994 was advertising Red Dog beer.
As you can imagine, the AA members were less than enthused.
Liberal had a meaning prior to politics - specifically - lacking moral restraint.
It's sort of funny that liberal is seen as a pejorative. Or at least a "high reaction" type of word. . .
