"As far as networking goes, the more people that are in it, the less each individual is worth."
I think you've just defined a new corollary to Metcalf's Law.
Now seriously, man, do you expect a site owner to pay from his pocket for hosting and editors?
The exact same way I expect to get use of interest-free money and cashback bonuses from credit card companies: I expect other people to subsidize it for me. Those people are either too dumb to figure it out, too lazy, too busy, or too disinterested. It's all the same to me.
I skipped a grade as well. I was a music nerd through all high school, but I'm not sure staying put would have helped. It's hard to tell. I do remember really hating being a year younger then everyone else, especially when the kids started driving. I probably would have been extra bored, but I was a good kid anyway, so I doubt I would have gotten into serious trouble.
I can tell you this: if I were to do it again, I would have rather skipped 12th grade and gone to college early. College was immediately fun and interesting, in a way high school never was. 12th grade was a boring waste anyway, even a year ahead.
AIX is even worse if you do any system programming it. Around here, AIX is pronounced "aches" for a very good reason. We also have a saying "AIX is always different". Anything difficult you want to do on Unix, you need to code up a special AIX-specific version. It's Always Different.

It's only when partners change and money changes hands that anyone gets upset.
Maybe not even that. Pay someone to have sex with you, and it's illegal. Pay someone to have sex with you, but film it and sell the product and... it's a tax deduction!
You might want to read up on HIPAA. Pre-existing do conditions have black-out periods. But last I knew, not if you avoid coverage gaps -- it's limited to a year or the length of your gap.
I turned off beta index, disabled tags, and I still get these pointless tags that lay out incorrectly. And, occasionally form hover loops (hover over item => make some pointless visual change => repositions things so hover doesn't apply anymore => make another pointless visual change => repositions item so hover now applies again).
Let's not spread the wealth.
Let's pay for all the shit we already bought on credit.
That's not spreading the wealth, it's not socialism, it's not communism.
That's paying your bills. It is honoring your obligations.
Sigh, fiscal conservatism is just dead. Raise taxes to pay off obligations, because it's better than lowering taxes while still spending like a Drunken Sailor (yes, I'm looking at you, dead Reagan).
What happens if large numbers of people stop paying tax?
Print money, use it to buy stuff anyway, and pass off the deflation the people who get the money last. Oh wait -- they do that, even we do pay our taxes.
I would guess that it means "if you spent the same amount in gas on a typical gasoline car", because people relate to mpg as a familiar yardstick of efficiency. You could use something something accurate like "miles per dollar", but you run in the problem that most people don't know their mpd for their car and thus can't immediately see the gain in efficientcy. Mention it in mpg terms, and you can immediately see that's it's 7x more efficient than a 20mpg car.
Let's say you spend $3 to charge your electric. On that $3, you can drive 140 miles, which is 46.6 mpd (miles per dollar).
Now compare that to buying $3 for one gallon of gasoline, which might you to drive 20 miles (at 20mpg). That's 6.6 mpd (again miles per dollar".
The gain in efficiency (140/20 vs 46.6/6.6) is still the same no matter how you express it -- 7 times.

It used to be like that for a few years when I was a teen, purchase was illegal, but not possession or consumption. That loophole changed in 1990 (at least in New York) and college life changed overnight. For the most part, now it's illegal to purchase, possess with intent to consume, or consume, under 21 in the USA. There is no federal law stating this, only a bit of mild extortion: the Feds will withhold highway dollars from the states if they don't follow suit. There are actually a bunch of different state laws that vary slightly. In some states, your parent can legally provide you with alcohol.
Yikes, if people drank from the Charles they would have a lot more problems than just the occasion stupid government mishap! You get water out of the Quabbin and Wachusset reservoirs, which are fed to Boston via a Big Freakin' Aqueduct (TM).
A land line echoes your voice back into your earpiece, so you speak at a normal volume. My cell phone doesn't, and so the effect is (right or wrong) you feel like you cannot be heard. Most people don't realize this and just shout to get the same level of feedback in their own ears. I know about this effect, yet still, it takes a lot of conscious effort to talk quietly on the cell phone. Cell phone companies could fix this in an instant.
The $4 isn't the problem, it's the fact that it went from $2.50 to $4 in a fairly short timespan. At some point that rate of growth is going to become a real problem for lots of people. Europe has been living with high fuel prices for a long time (I lived in Germany for a while), a lot of it self-imposed, but everyone is at least used to it and has factored it into their business and life plans.
I view it as "mandatory" much like I would only buy a house with a furnace in it. Sure, it's not mandatory. I could buy cords of wood, lug it in every few hours, and dump it into the fireplace. But life is better if you have it.
Yep, I went to college in far upstate NY. The snow started in October, and I remember snowbanks that would reach the second story of my rental house. I used to drive through town and the Adirondack mountains in the middle of winter. Down Route 81 in white-out conditions. Three different FWD cars. And while I was pretty careful and never got stuck, ran off the road, or got in an accident, I still would rather have AWD when making such a trip. A lot of it was white-knuckle driving.
Back then it was just me, so if I did get stuck, it's just me walking somewhere. Now there are three kids in the back seat, one with a life-threatening chronic illness. And I did have an RWD here in New England and had the delight of buying and changing tires all time, and despite that, still occasionally getting stuck when stopped on an incline due to crappy traffic conditions that never happen in rural NY. Or from a blizzard when at work and then having to call a friend with a truck.
The technology is there. It's important to some people.
On Windows, when an app hangs, you can't move the freakin' hung window out of the way, because the window manager is the hung app. So they come up with a stupid button which minimizes windows, and due to the way modal dialogs work, the application pops back up in it's hung state when you click on another application. I'll take the separate window manager, thankyouverymuch.
Open gays are excluded in scouting because inherently it becomes sexuality issue. A leader who discusses sex issues at a scouting meeting or function should be removed. Scouting is not the forum for "discovering" one's sexual identity. If I were to say in a scout meeting, "I really enjoyed banging my wife last night," I'd be thrown out.
Wow, you have a funny definition of "openly gay". Funny in the sense of "bigoted".
I'm openly heterosexual. My wife and kids come visit me at work. I kiss her goodbye when she leaves. It's obvious I am heterosexual. At no point do I talk to my coworkers or children about sex.
A person who is openly gay, is not by definition talking about sex anymore than I am. It means they are not in the closet.

Sorry, I already have this. I just log into my bank account's website, look at the recent charges, and that tells me where my wife is.
If you have WiiConnect24 turned on it will check for system updates when idle, and flash blue when one is ready.

Parents often teach the wrong things about sex, too... maybe even more than porn does.
Or change jobs to be closer to home... have you tried to sell a house in today's market? Changing jobs is a lot easier!
