The only problem, is that people wont switch to muff headphones, even if the sound is better, because the white earbuds are a fashion statement, letting everyone know you are hip enough to have an iPod... I am being totally serious...
Yes, but we (ohio) make up for it. Each of our 88 counties has its own sales tax. Mine (Summit County) is 6 3/4, Cuyahoga is 7 3/4 and so on....
Ecommerce sites that collect taxes ask which county you are in and charge the appropriate tax. (For example, movies by mail, that fine Ohio based perveyor of adult erotic products)
Something called the necessary and proper clause pretty much makes whatever the Fed Gov't decides to do "constitutional."
BTW- come to Ohio where each of our 88 counties has its own sales tax!!!
Nothing creates business opportunities like gov't regulations. You will see clearing house companies spring up to process taxes for you. Funny about Ohio- when you buy someting in a county with lower taxes, and take it home, you are supposed to send the state the difference.
btw- Counties in Ohio have different tax rates. It has nothing to do with municipalities, so you only need to know the tax rates for each of our 88 counties... (Mine is Summit county, 6 3/4 percent)
Actually, boilers have no moving parts to speak of. That is why many houses up north (including here in Ohio) have the same boilers and steam heat radiators they were built with in the 20's. As long as the water jacket is kept covered, and scale is watched, they will go forever.
I am not being sarcastic- research steam boilers, they are fascinating in their simplicity.
And there are hundreds if not thousands of places that can work on boilers, they may be more used to working on them in houses, but a boiler is a boiler....
Arrghhhh- I don't even know if that is the issue. What if, for the sake of argument, we agree that looking at porn is "harmful." What next? Do we need permission to read sites about drugs? Alcohol? Modifying you r car to make it faster- couldn't that get you hurt? No more speed sites....
Maybe my opinion as an American isn't relevant, but for what it is worth, my understanding is that Australians are very reasonable. I would like to know more about the politician proposing it- is this a case of one of these weirdo politicians putting forth a law that has zero chance of passing, or is he somewhat mainstream?
Thank you for saying it before me, re sports in realtime. But also talk radio. And other news shows (like BBC world service, CNN, Fox, whatever your preference...). Who wants to hear yesterday's news? And yes, as a NE Ohioan, I am a Browns Fan, but I''ll just let your Steeler's loyalty go. Especially considering the way the Steelers have been making the Browns into their little girl lately....
Like so many other things, it will be a hardware issue. When the country is blanketed in wifi, and I have hardware in my car that lets me listen to shows without "radio" I'll switch to something else. But for now, I listen to a ton of AM radio (almost no FM- for music I like XM and my iPod). This reminds me of the iTunes TV shows. Sure its an awesome idea, but it wont take off until we have the hardware, in iPod TVs case, a way to watch it easily on the Boob Tube in my living room or bedroom. Same with radio. Give me an easy way to get talk shows another way, and Ill be down...
It is funny (funny HaHa and strange) that there is also talk about GM, Ford and gas mileage in the article. Because in a lot of ways, gas mileage and MS are similar... How? In my opinion, consumers need more than a good reason to get more mileage or to dump MS. Yes, more mileage will save you money, as will not using MS. But not enough money to justify a change for most people. Yes there are altruistic reasons to get more gas mileage (saving the world for some reason isn't a motivator for the public) and to dump MS. There are two things consumers hate: 1: The way Things Are and 2: Change.
For both the mileage and OS issues, my guess is that trendiness could be a big factor. When running Apple OS or Linux is as hip as having an iPod, things may change. For mileage, it already seems that hybrids are becoming trendy and cool...
Then again, if I understood why consumers buy things (and I golfed and slapped other middle aged men 5 and called them 'bro') I would be in marketing.
Can't imagine why they think getting it out in time for Christmas is in any way important!
I am sorry to disagree. I run windows at home (please don't flame me for that) and although I had planned to buy a new computer, it doesn't make sense in my mind to buy one until Vista comes out. Think about it- if you were buying the kids a computer for Christmas, and knew that Vista was coming out in February, you wouldn't buy the machine for Christmas, you would wait until Feb....
This is a serious post, but I am sure someone will respond:
LOL! and knew that Vista was coming out in February, you wouldn't buy the machine for Christmas, you would wait until Feb No way dude! I'm a Hax0r and wouldn't buy a Vista machine ever, not even in Feb DUDE!!!!
Ugh- Dont feed the trolls. You and I started a conversation a few days ago, and a troll took over. Do you really think that the troll is espousing his true opinions, or just those that he thinks will get you riled up?
I was in Afghanistan for a long time and then in Iraq for a bit- I don't think I was brave, rather just doing something I believed in.... You would be amazed at how many people I meet who say "Wow, I appreciate what you did.. but...." and then they lay into me about US policy and then beat on me about being "a violent soldier." But the truth is, there are people with whom I agree who I can't stand, as well as people I cant stand with whom I disagree. But usually, once the cable news shouting matches are turned off, everyone gets along okay and we have some decent conversation...
Don't fret. There is a greater percentage of English speakers in Alabama than there is in Mexifornia or New York. The Poster is just upset that he can't order a Big Mac or get his gas pumped without learning Espanol.
Hi you stupid fuck. There is a higher percentage of English speakers in Alabama than in Mexifornia or New York. And it is legal to marry your first cousin in California. Have a nice day.
Uhh to quote an old redneck joke- The South/Midwest would definately win in a civil war fought today, because we have such a large concentration of armed pick ups....:)
Do some research- did you know it is 100% legal to marry your cousin in California? Did you know it is illegal in Ohio and many other midwestern states?
In all seriousness- I can understand why left and right coasties hate that Ohio decides the elections every 4 years- you think we are a bunch of unedukatid Yokels. YeeeeHAAAAAAAAAAA!
Thats's nice- find the worst of an area and then judge the state by it. I live in Ohio. Would you want Los Angeles judged just by the ghetto? I could say "I can assure you that California has a loooooong way to go to catch up to the rest of the world in terms of social conventions, modern thought, and tolerance.
Seriously though, you demonstrate an attitude that seems to pervade the coasts, that we here in flyover country are useless hicks....
BTW- Marrying your cousin is 100% legal in Calif, 100% illegal in Ohio.... Just an observation.
Har- I live in Ohio- Somethings to keep in mind: Find a $200,000 home in NY city and it's a 500 sq foot studio. Out here in Ohio, 200K is a 4 bedroom house with a couple baths on an acre with a good school district...
I thought about moving to Cali for a job, they would give me about a 70% raise, but I would end up in a smaller house and a much longer commute.... sheesh!
Two examples-
A ampersand P : AP's story at the turn of the 20th century is almost exactly the same as WalMart's story at the turn of the 21st. I did a quick search and couldn't find it, but I have read some great articles comparing AP to WalMart and Microsoft.
2. GM (1978 was their best year- I have a 1978 Caddy Coupe DeVille in the barn- In 1978 they had their largest market share ever, and they made crappy cars. Many blame Hubris on why they lost their edge- they didnt care what consumers wanted anymore i.e. "We'll make it, you'll buy it." The Japanese put an end to that...)
Look at the DOW and how many companies have gone off and on it- things change. I don't know what will knock MS off its high, but something will....
but will we really care that much whether a machine is running Linux or Windows in future in future?
I dont care what OS is running now, as long as I can read slashdot and look at pr0n!!!!
Wow- the problem isn't just that this is his opinion/view on the rootkit issue, the problem is that he is cocky or dumb enough to actually say it.
That just shows serious cockiness. I mean, sit with your employees and say dumb or evil or whatever things, but to say them in public? Stupid.
