But if a fossil fuel tax is flat, yet the poor's commuting needs are similar to those of the rich, doesn't the tax burden most those who can least afford it?
How could consumers possibly benefit from fewer choices?
let me flip through my liberalism handbook here... ah yes, here it is:
" Sometimes consumers don't spend 'their money' for the Common Good. For instance, they might buy DVDs at Walmart, were employees don't get heath insurance, car insurance, or anything resembling a free lunch."
It's quite clear that Automated Google Crawlers will, in the future, log all your anti-establishment comments. Only people doing something wrong are afraid of law enforcement. I, for one, welcome our future law-enforcing overlords.
A local toll road owner is watching this case closely. He wants to search all vehicles on his road and surcharge those carrying any cargo deemed valuable or time-sensitive.
Rebate lovers are few and far between here. In 2002-2003 the sunday circulars were chock full of free-after-rebate stuff from electronics and office supply stores. I turned in over 30 back then and got every single one. The offers have tapered off over the last two years. My shelves are loaded with free modems, free extension cords and powerstrips, free CD-Rs, free network cards, free CD cleaners, free DUST-OFF, a free sound card, a free cordless phone, free jewel cases, free postit notes, a free smartmedia card reader. The only thing I EVER got burned on was a 4 port usb hub from I-ROCKS just this winter. Those SOBs admit to getting the correct documentation and are 8 weeks late cutting a check.
I've seen previous slashdot posters talk about companies never sending the rebate checks. I don't know if we buy from different companies or if they can't, or won't, follow directions exactly.
Some guy was slamming grocery coupons, too. I've combined coupons with sales to get free BAGS of groceries. The cashier was nonchalant about it... he's seen it before.
Sellers don't choose their price based on what sounds good. They choose it based on the supply/demand curve.
Do you actually have evidence of this happening in the cable TV industry? I assumed it to be the case, until a relative of mine was consulting for a cable company and saw the revised channel line up was decided at a single meeting by off-the-cuff remarks from the (described as) egotistical extroverted attendees jockeying for acceptance of their own opinion, unsupported by any data. More a contest of wills and social status within that executive group, than a thought analysis of consumer data (which was absent from the meeting).
After too much unreal tournament week after week, one day I walked out of the grocery store and the corner of my eye caught a white contail in the sky. "Deemer!" was the first thought to form.
Another day I drove past 2 large industrial Chemical storage tanks in a familiar formation near a building. I found my gaze suddenly checking the small, secret spot between them were the invisibility powerup sits. please help me.
They need to find some way to power all this new electronics equipment that soldiers are carrying. But it is improvements in cost efficiency that will really make a difference in real world.
Winning wars doesn't make a difference in the "real world"?
The (about) 3% they take for a mastercard (or visa, etc) payment to you they have to give to mastercard (or visa, etc). They aren't keeping it (with the single exception below). Paypal merely earns an interest on the float.
If you get a *cash* transfer through paypal (instead of a credit card payment) they are *obligated* to keep 3% because credit card companies forbid anyone doing business with them from charging different prices for cash or credit. You may remember fifteen years ago the gasoline companies thinking they had enough clout to get around this... they didn't.
Paypal has provided a loophole avoiding this 3% with their creation of "personal" accounts, which can't accept credit cards at all, therefore are outside the reach of the credit card companies' agreements.
There's no looting after the Japanese have an earthquake, either. I wonder if it's possible for slashdot to discuss the cultural differences that lead to looting without everyone being modded to flamebait.
And really its only the last 4 hours before a deadline that the work gets done - regardless of how many all-nighters were pulled.
Note to this guy's boss... he can do any project in 4 hours.
IANAL, but I think the patent holder would first have to approach you and inform you that you are infringing. Only if YOU continue to MAKE MONEY on THEIR patent, AFTER you have been told to buy a license or quit infringing, then they can sue, but only for damages based on your income from their patent.
I am also not a psychologist, but your reasoning seems more like a lame excuse for being unproductive. This is just a guess because I've never seen a story about a programmer whose work accidently gets out (?) getting sued to hoboken, but I've heard a ton of lame excuses over the years. So I'm going with the odds.
This is my point. If they screw up and poll 90% females, they can make an attempt to adjust, as you point out. If they screw up and skew their exit poll racially, they can attempt to adjust, as you point out.
BUT, if they screw up and skew their exit poll by polling too many Kerry voters, or liberals, or happy people, or people who lie to exit pollers, there is no similar mechanism to adjust... they simply get results that differ from the election total.
Fifteen years ago I visited a tourist attraction at the first experimental breeder reactor (EBR-1).

There I learned the liquid metal was an alloy which could be pumped magnetically, with no moving pump parts.

Are you for a flat fossil fuel tax or a progressive one?

Say goodbye to tedious bathroom cleaning!
And say hello to more auto-immune diseases?

I-ROCKS just sent me my check, albeit 12 weeks after the original 3 month deadline.

The PTO has just granted a man a patent for his T Cell structure... he has partnered with Sony to prevent unlicensed use.

'The piracy business is not something anyone can make money on,' says Ashwin Navin
Hardware makers and blank media makers make money on piracy. Some shady characters on ebay do, too.

Perhaps the failsafe could be the uncertainty principle, coupled with the finite mass of the universe?

Doesn't it become progress when the $70k saved becomes capital for job creation? Is paying $100k for a $30k job progress, or waste?

The market cap of Forgent is less than 50 mil. Microsoft could buy it with about 30 hours income... Then sue everyone else using jpeg!
