Siblings are using their mom's old car. She doesn't care what any of them do with it. The youngest used it to sell and deliver pizza. His older brother let his friends use it to deliver free pizza in return for free pizza and free recipes. The youngest complained to dad. Dad tells him to GFY. So he complains again, and again, and again. If we are lucky we will get to watch dad beating the shit out of him on youtube.
The company is nothing but lawyers. They stopped being a tech company a long time ago. As long as a lawyer has not been beheaded/disbarred it will keep finding ways to troll. "It" being the only non-vulgar way I can think of to describe a lawyer.
The UEFI firmware will have a table with approved public keys. Any bootloader and its data will have to be signed with one of the corresponding private keys if secure boot is switched on.
I'll give it 1 month, to be on the safe side, for a signed driver to appear that can root Windows 8. Giving the simplicity of obtaining sensitive information from a vendor these days, it will be trivial for nefarious people to obtain keys. Owner controlled keys are the only true protection from root kits. It is like adding entropy to/dev/random
The issue is whether hardware/system vendors will provide the on/off switch *or* allow the key table to be updated by the user.
The issue is if the vendor will provide the key table to be updated AND Windows 8 will run on hardware where the key table is controlled by the owner. Having nothing but an On/Off option is completely unacceptable.
Yeah, it is completely ironic. First they turned away Allard's design because it didn't match step with the desktop then redesigned the desktop using his data to be "more tablet friendly". Basically they are redesigning the desktop to be his idea of a replacement for the shell.
Everything must standardize to Windows if Microsoft wants to remain the biggest player. Producing a product, no matter how successful, that is not locked to Windows would a marketing disaster. Microsoft's message lives and dies on the belief that Windows is mandatory for a product to be usable. Balmer made the correct decision.
The government has the ability to force contractors into full disclosure agreements. A federal law should be passed that forces any business that accepts a government contract to fully disclose how the money they received is spent. A federal web site ( ie. contractors.gov) should be implemented so contractors can easily journal receipts, wages, and other payments, without specifying the names of employees specifically of course. The journal should be kept during the entire process and maintained on the site for no less than 10 years. The web site and all information should be freely accessible to all U.S. citizens.
Agreed. In addition. Businesses, and people, should toss distro_of_choice $25 per installed copy just to keep distro_of_choice around. If they like it enough to run a business on it, they should contribute in one way or another.
Yes. I bought my house with cash. I now live in a two story four bedroom 3 bath brick home with a large 2 car garage and fireplace that centers the living room dinning room and kitchen. I had it built that way because I like roasted meat served directly to the table. It impresses the girls. It cost me $50k on top of the $30k I originally paid and I didn't even have to wait on the two pecan 1 oak and 1 elm trees to grow because they were planted when the original house was built 1964.
Also, money lost to rent = money lost to interest, except your house isn't appreciating in value and you're living in substandard conditions.
Actually I was happy not to have to pay increased yearly taxes while I was saving money to replace the old house. But hey! You reaaaaly got me there! My $160,000 market value home from my $70,000 over 10 year investment, while still having the money in the bank collecting interest is soooo much worse than being $130,000 in debt after spending $70,000 over the last 10 years while accruing $30,000 in equity. btw. Since it is a homestead they still have to tax me based on the original purchase price, $30,000, until I put it up for sale (which I would never do). Your way is paying taxes on $160k (five times more) from the get go. Oh and insurance. OMFG if I would have had to pay home insurance on a $160k home from the get go?!? Um. No.
Unless you are getting a truly bad deal or interest is very high, you lose more money by renting than you do by taking a mortgage, and lose many benefits.
Yes. A mortgage returns more than renting. Unless you have someone to front you money to start out early in life with a mortgage, rich mommy and daddy, your renting. If you drop your nest egg into a home via down payment and monthly mortgage the "shit happens" odds are brutal high. It is called Murphy's LAW for a reason.
Good luck driving your kids to suicide, though.
Are you reaching out? Get help. Self destruction is NOT the way to go!
Has Qantas even tried to propose a deal that says, "no increase in wages and a guarantee there will be no outsourcing"? I think the answer to that question would put an end to the debate.
You live in the cheapest place humanly possible. A one bedroom efficiency apartment with 12 roommates if you have to. Rumor has it you don't have to pay rent while in the Air Force. Both are referred to as bootstraps. I recommend you grab firmly and pull. The second question is confusing. Are you asking about while you are saving to buy a POS house or after? The answer to the first is none, obviously. What equity do you receive renting? What equity do you receive if the true value of the house your paying for is below what your paying for it? The answer to the second possible question is the money you do not have to pay. You are effectively paying yourself rent. After you build your shiny new house, the equity is usually 3 times the cost of building the house.
Yes. If you examine income expeditures and compare that with the ownership numbers you might find me completely mistaken. However, I think this document proves my point. Stock Ownership by Age of Family Head and Family Income If you read it you will see that few people have more than 50% of their assets tied up in the market so I assumed a wash with a benefit towards people owned money by companies and those having to completely rely on Social Security. Money invested in the market would drop in value; though, I think it is really dependent on the area of the market. Money companies owe to retirees would negatively effect the company, assuming the company was using that money as investment capital and just calling it the retirement fund -- which we all know is always the case. If not, it would positively effect the retirees.
Awesome isn't it. The employees are wearing red ties so management stops all flights and tells customers the employees are performing "damaging industrial actions".
If you use your credit card as a debit card, ie. never pay interest, it will not improve your credit rating. Only a timely payed off loan will improve your credit rating.
Your talking about a crash not deflation. Deflation is a slow downward trend. The value of homes is not going down. Their values were pumped up astronomically by corrupt business practices.
True. Deflation would cause lowering of wages. However. 1) It would not happen over night. 2) Wages have been going down for the last 15 years because the have not increased with the rate of cost of living.
I think the desire to make this announcement "This is in response to the damaging industrial action by three unions" was more important than keeping their customers informed and their employees happy. If someone is stranded it is because Qantas is playing politics with its customers and screwing its employees.
You have a state that doesn't seem to mind executing people that might be innocent, for political points, and where there's little concern for courts convicting innocent people in general.
Sounds like the "Slavers will like you better if you prove yourself to be a good indentured servant in the form of paying them 30% on top of every purchase you make." pill. Everybody accepts debit cards. Spending less than you make over the years will give you more buying power than using credit cards. Save until you have $20k in a bank account. Your mail box will magically get filled with offers to give you credit. Save until you have $50k in the bank, buy a POS house on a $20k lot with cash. Save that $500-$1000/mo you would have been paying for rent. In 5 years you'll be able to build a nice house on the lot.
It sounds like he fell for lies by the same people that say deflation would destroy the world. Deflation works exactly opposite from inflation. If someone has their money invested instead of in their pocket, inflation causes investments to be more valuable. If someone has their money in their pocket and none invested in the market, deflation causes the money in their pocket to be more valuable. Deflation and debt consolidation in the U.S. would negatively effect less than 20% of the U.S. population and less than 2% of the world population.

How is it that they can continue to pay lawyers
The company is nothing but lawyers. They stopped being a tech company a long time ago. As long as a lawyer has not been beheaded/disbarred it will keep finding ways to troll. "It" being the only non-vulgar way I can think of to describe a lawyer.
This is awesome. I'm tired of letters complaining about my sketer killer accidentally targeting planes. I hope some specs come out soon.

That is their belief, but it will kill them in the end.
If all goes well.
Considering the kernel is Darwin, not really.

Awesome isn't it. The employees are wearing red ties so management stops all flights and tells customers the employees are performing "damaging industrial actions".
If you call stopping outsourcing and enforcing a living wage "screwing a company", I'm all for it.
If you use your credit card as a debit card, ie. never pay interest, it will not improve your credit rating. Only a timely payed off loan will improve your credit rating.

True. Deflation would cause lowering of wages. However. 1) It would not happen over night. 2) Wages have been going down for the last 15 years because the have not increased with the rate of cost of living.
It is an estimate based on the number of people that have enough income to invest in the market. You can get it from the census.
I think the desire to make this announcement "This is in response to the damaging industrial action by three unions" was more important than keeping their customers informed and their employees happy. If someone is stranded it is because Qantas is playing politics with its customers and screwing its employees.

The drive to College Station was alway wrought with speed traps and cops dumber than Barny Fife. Now we have RoboCop. Living in Texas is aaaawesome.
