Companies do not pay taxes, only consumers do. In the company ledgers, taxes are a cost of doing business which are calculated into the price of the products they sell. So while it might sound all high and mighty that you are "sticking it to the man!" by imposing high taxes on companies, what you are really doing is telling voters to take in the rear. If you want to make alternative energy technologies more attractive to consumers, you have to price them competitively with fossil based fuels. Taxing fossil fuels to the same cost level of alternative energy fuels is nothing more than an attack on the pocketbooks of the poor.
My only question is if they outsourced the e-mail pink slip processing to an Indian firm. That would have given Radio Shack double plus style points. I would not be too shocked if someone goes e-postal over this.
Mac users don't think you are safe because you aren't running windows. It's amazing the number of Apps that "phone home". A great tool for Mac OS X egress filtering is Little Snitch. It's cheap and easy to use.
If they have only 4 hours to depose you, talk v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. Your name is Otis so no one can hold that against you -- plus you are in North Carolina so no one will notice...
But Bush's policies in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, etc have alienated Muslims everywhere. And he just doesn't understand why, according to yesterday's New York Times:
When have Muslims or the "Arab Street" been un-alienated? Just look what happened during Carter, Regan, Bush #1 and Clinton. We were attacked over and over again and we weren't occupying Iraq or Afghanistan then. During that time, Bush #2 was in an alcoholic fog watching baseball and had nothing to do with US Policy. As long as we support Israel, they are going to be pissed. Personally I would rather have Israelis as friends than folks that are willing to strap bombs to their children and send them into pizza parlors. But hey, that's just me.
The "Mark II" "microbombs" had Casio digital watches as the timers, stabilizers that looked like cotton wool balls, and an undetectable nitroglycerin as the explosive. Other ingredients included glycerin, nitrate, sulfuric acid, and minute concentrations of nitrobenzene, silver azide (silver trinitride), and liquid acetone. Two 9-volt batteries in each bomb were used as a power source. The batteries would be connected to light bulb filaments that would detonate the bomb. Murad and Yousef wired an SCR as the switch to trigger the filaments to detonate the bomb. There was an external socket hidden when the wires were pushed under the watch base as the bomber would wear it. The alteration was so small that the watch could still be worn in a normal manner.
Read the book on nutcase theories regarding 9/11. No matter how many times you watch Loose Change, it doesn't make it factual. Even Oliver Stone couldn't make a conspiracy theory movie out of 9/11. Yes Virginia, terrorism is real. There are Islamic Fascists in the world that want you dead, no you cannot appease them and George Bush did not create them.
I don't care if they are a felon, or a muderer, or a kiddnapper or anything else. They can be in jail on death row for all I care. They still get to vote, as long as they are an adult. Otherwise we have created a way to create classes, 'true citizens' and 'partial citizens.' Which is an enabler of discrimination.
This has the possibility of making certain districts in the US top heavy with incarcerated voters. A lot of prisons (federal, state and local) are grouped together in close proximity such as near Beaumont, Texas. We are already have enough "crooks" in Government. Let's not give their incarcerated peers the ability to make this situation even worse. Can you imagine the campaigning for these voters?
I was working for a huge meat packing company and we had internal company blogs so we could share ideas and generally make the company run better. You know, totally Web 2.0. I am a committed vegan so I posted a blog entry called "Meat is Murder and Murder is Wrong" and guess what happened to me? I was fired! Can you believe that!?!?!? Freaking fascists.
Missing blond females seem to stay in the news a lot longer than 36 hours. Most of the advertising revenue of the cable news networks is based on blond female becoming missing. Fox News, CNN and MSNBC would be reduced to covering real news if it weren't for them. I wouldn't be surprised if most weren't missing due to a conspiracy of cable news producers preying on them. They all those news vans just sitting around.
Keep on doing what we have been doing for the last 100,000 or so years. Eating, pooping, fornicating, killing each other and creating stuff. Stick to the basics and we will do just fine. Don't believe the doomsday predictions Stevie, there is always going to be a guy with a sign that says, "The end of the world is nigh".
When I worked Telephone Techinical Support for Fifth Generation Systems in the late 80s/early 90s, I had a legal secretary that could not restore her Fastback backups from the 5 1/4" disks she used. As a service, we would have customers in this situation send them in and we would restore the data, reback them up and send them back. We would want copies of the disks to be made and those sent to us. Well she did make copies. I received via overnight FedEx ten 8/12x11" photocopies of her really nicely labeled diskettes. I had a really hard time calling her back and explaining the process of how to copy a floppy.

The people in the southern reaches of the southern hemisphere do not think it is a hoax: the incidence of skin cancer mushroomed in southern Chile as the hole in the ozone increased. Not the end of the world, but a real and ongoing health hazard.
Must be the better methods of detecting skin cancer and the wider access to medical services over time. If more people are being examined, more conditions will be found.
Can this guy ever get a break? He just released a movie called An Inconvenient Truth telling us that the sky was falling. Now we learn its staying right where it has always been all along even with Chimpy McHaliburton in charge. My God, the next thing you will read is that the ice is getting thicker in Antarctica and Greenland.
'Scientists doing climate research for the federal government say the Bush administration has made it hard for them to speak forthrightly to the public about global warming.
My God these "scientists" are pathetic. If you believe that the public needs to know and you want to stick it to "the man" (i.e., evil Rethuglicans and Chimpy McHaliburton), stick a freaking web page up on the internet so the whole world will know that my gas guzzling SUV is causing the baby Jesus to cry from Global Warming. Hell, you can start one these new fangled things called a "Blog" for free. Nothing is stopping you. And if Chimpy McHaliburton does come down on you, you will end up getting rich from the book and movie deals that will be cut. Plus either Ted Danson or Meryl Streep will play you on the big screen.
Let's get real. It's not that "the man" is holding them down that is ticking these folks off, it's that no one is listening to them. I am practically going deaf from all the noise I hear about Global Warming and how man not the Sun is causing it. First Amendment doesn't require me to listen to you.
Steve Jobs just missed out on winning $12,000 in the boot XP on a Mac contest!!! And you know the dude needs the cash since he is only paid $1 a year as Apple's CEO. I bet he is just kicking himself right now.

Wow! I should of thought of that. Next time that happens to me, I will totally do it. Thanks, dude...

They are hidden in the underground television studio at Area 51 where they faked the moon landing.

My god, could they have found a more unflattering photo of Linus? But then again, they chose not to even include a photo of Rob Malda.
Meeeoooowwwww!
Thanks for confirming!
