Bank of America offers ShopSafe (perhaps others offer something similar) that allows one to create a virtual CC (with unique number and CSC) associated with your real CC. You can set the dollar and expiration limits on the vCC and only the first vendor that charges to it is allow to make subsequent changes. You can even manually close the card before is expires. When I shop at a new online store, especially for a one-time purchase, I do this. Vendors can't make recurring charges to a closed CC.
You can most certainly rank literature by the number of pages, art by the size of the canvas or weight of the sculpture and music by the duration.
Whether these rankings are useful is debatable, but they can definitely be ranked.
Exactly. Their criteria, according to TFS, is "combined list that shows which books were cited the most." I don't know if that's relevant, but going with it I ask, "cited where and by whom?" If they had polled/. the #1 slot might go to HHGTTG - sorry, no citation available.
I bring home less than that, albeit by just a hair, working my ass off at a full-time IT job in the midwest USA. So I can get a mid-$40k/year income just by sitting on my ass in Greece?
Perhaps your current situation is a result of your math skills thinking $2500/month is a "mid-$40k/year income".
Not bullshit. Anti-social types are 100% convinced that the world revolves around them. They have no problem justifying their theft/murder/rape - because it served their purpose. Just as they have no problem being genuinely interested in going along with whatever cult they choose to claim to belong to. See, anti-social types are 100% self serving. That's not bullshit - it's the rest of the world that is bullshit to them. But they're not making it up. They're not lying. They actually believe themselves to be the center of the universe. Which is why they belong in cages.
I'd like to make a similar observation by applying: s/anti-social types/politicians/ig
I find it dubious that people who have been convicted of crimes, nearly all of which are expressly forbidden in major religions (killing, theft, etc), are complaining about the lack of exceptions being made for their closely held religious beliefs.
Seems a LOT of the killing throughout the World over all of Time has involved, or been in the name of, Religion. People should worship Irony instead.
I make no claims about whether these Bible stories are true or false...
Probably false - or at least unsubstantiated. I just checked my copy and there's no copyright, no original publishing date, no references. They mention this person "God" a LOT -- seriously, so much that you'd think he/she wrote the thing -- but there's no history on this person or that he/she even exists. There have even been Lawsuits against God, but they are usually dismissed because the defendant doesn't appear and/or "because God could not be properly notified, not having an address." At the same time - or "simultaneously", as another/.er prefers - a judge noted "God's omniscience... Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit." But he/she *still* won't show up for court. Seems really sketchy to me.
Personally, I find "simultaneously" to be a better term here than either "at once" or "at the same time." Alas, it's totally not a topic worth nitpicking about.
However, I commend your successful attempt to comment and nitpick on it at the same time - wait, I mean... damn.
She could have been cut off and really said he's as much a scientist as she is a vice president. Which would actually be more accurate and a bit meaner.
When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear 'please cut off your left arm above the elbow,...
Sure you can. I'm fine with the arm thing - it's your choice. However, if you *need* it leave it on, put it on vibrate and leave the theater if you get or need to make a call. Seriously, how hard is that? Your need to feel connected shouldn't interfere with others' enjoyment of the movie.
While ignoring that this same law requires someone who was born a woman, then became a man surgically, complete with hormone treatments to build muscle mass and male aggression to use the women's bathroom.
Post-ops can get their birth certificates changed to match the new physical gender. (apologies if phrased inappropriately)

The obvious solution is to just kill anyone caught stealing/etc.
But then what would we do with all those empty Wall Street offices?
Problem is the dolphins won't have anything to eat. Ecosystems have a lot of inter-dependencies.
No, the dolphins will just all leave

My browser is entangled with an ad-blocker and everything collapsed when Forbes observed it.
Bullshit.

It seems that untested software had been uploaded for thrust control just before the breakup.
Note to self: Don't ask your girlfriend questions you don't want the answers to - again.

When testing hair dryers why do you use miles of hair vs pounds of hair?
Because the conversion to Library of Congresses of hair is a bit tricky.
I know Carly may have fired HP's best and brightest, but they *do* know it doesn't have to be made out of actual Chrome, right?
From the photo, looks like an iDalek for when Apple EXTERMINATES the competition.

"at once" - I take to mean "immediately".
"all at once" - I take to mean "simultaneously".
Like a lot of Slashdot-edited articles - close, but no cigar.
If we're really going to nitpick phrasing that bugs us, I'd like to nominate the use of "all new" to describe *one* TV show episode. Grrrr....

She kind of correct, but not complete. Bill is as much a scientist as she is, but she isn't (nearly) as much a scientist as Bill is.

There's always, like, three carriers; there's AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. And people who have T-Mobile are just, like... Why do you have T-Mobile?"
'Cause "like, three carriers" can actually mean four carriers - dumb ass.
[ I use Ting which uses Sprint (and Verizon) for CDMA and T-Mobile for GSM. ]
