Be careful what you wish for. Bulk mailing helps subsidize the current mail system. Without it, either prices would go up or there would be a reduction in service (mail delivery every other day). Remember the USPS is one of the few gov't organizations that supports itself without taxes. All of the bureaucracy and none of the pork.
In my experience with the LOC, nothing is free. 20 cents for a copy. $100/hr for a transfer of video. Cannot actually check out books. Unless you work for a congressman then you get better access. While it is a comprehensive resource, everything is a pain in the ass.
A power wheels will set you back $200 and that is for a 4-5 year old. What about video game consoles or computers? Thousands of those are purchased for kids every year. Im not usually into expensive toys for kids, but this thing has the potential to allow them to learn, create and stay occupied for quite a while.
The price seems pretty fair to me. This is a bit of a niche market and if Lego wants to recoup development costs (which are not insignificant for something as complex as this) then the price will seem a little high for the individual piece parts.
I'm retarded. the parent mentioned fear of being sued and I thought the response was referencing a phobia for that. Which I now know is Liticaphobia. I didnt make the connection to the kittens. I was much more impressed by the backwards pictures.
What are the odds that a neighbor would use your network and then sue you for the content that your are sending to him?
Yeah, ailurophobia is a bitch.
What does ailurophobia have to do with it?
Definition of Ailurophobia
Ailurophobia: An abnormal and persistent fear of cats which produces an undue anxiety reaction even though sufferers realize their fear is irrational. Sufferers of ailurophobia may fear not only the scratch or bite of a cat, but also the "evil mystique" of cats as depicted in Halloween folklore and such literary works as Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat."
From the Greek "ailouros" (cat) and "phobos" (fear). Alternate spellings: "Aelurophobia," "elurophobia." The Greek word "ailourous" has also given us the English word "Ailuroidea," a zoological term for a group of carnivorous animals including cats, hyenas and civets.
An alternate name for fear of cats: "Galeophobia."
Why is it okay to subsidize charter schools and not home schooling? Home schooling is a big responsibility to accept for parents and if the money is spent on teaching supplies and materials what is the problem. The thing is Schools get paid per child. So, if a child does not attend a public school money goes back into the general coffer to do with as the gov't pleases.
You make it sound like that it is the society's responsibility to ensure a child gets an education. It is the parent's responsibility. Society is only responsible to make sure that the opportunity is available for the family to obtain a good education (which I don't believe they are doing a good job of with the public school system). Now you can argue that some parents are not fit to oversee the education of their child and society should take over responsibility. If that is the case, call social services. Some other (good) reasons home schooling is becoming more popular is because public schools are inadequate, private schools are expensive, and there are a lot more tools available to help home school teachers.
The idea that it is acceptable to pass on education when someone is a good athlete is an integrity problem. If people in the school system believe this, then they should be fired. The idea that virtual charters could be used for this is a straw man, it is something to keep in mind when implementing the system but it should not be an argument against it.
However, history tells us that much of the innovation over the past 40 years has been to reverse Brown. Care to explain?
I have a friend who works at BWI and her job is to shoot birds near the airport. What a sweet job. For work outings they go to the shooting range. I don't know if they get to keep the birds or not.
I think sea bass would be more appropriate for the potomac, but I would love to see some shark fins rolling around near all the sail and party boats.
A private place is one where a person may reasonably expect to be safe from unauthorized surveillance.
So who can "authorize" surveillance on a property. One would think the owner of the property has the authority to authorize surveillance. Only a judge could authorize otherwise.
I think that this law is being misinterpreted and should be used to prevent unauthorized people from videotaping on private property. This is going to put a damper on the camcorder business if it requires a court order to video tape on private property.
When I lived in the boondocks you had to pay for fire department coverage. You could donate $50/year to the fire department or you could pay them $1500 after they came and extinguished your house. I guess you could tell them you didn't want your house saved, but most just paid the yearly fee.
Also, you can get out of sending you kids to public school, usually there are rules in place to make sure you give them some sort of education. Either way you are going to pay the taxes though.

Man, that just makes me feel unpopular. Even telemarketers don't like me.

Since registering I can't remember getting a single telemarketing call. I don't think it applies to politicians though, surprise.

Why don't you just advertise what you can deliver in a clear fashion?

but I want to see some video.

One mowed my lawn for $10. He didn't do a very good job though.
I am sure the DRM will screw it up though. Cue the stories about car thieves stealing cars via a sony-embedded rootkit.

How does your wallet feel about them? Mine cries out in anger.

Since you commented about the sniper service I thought I would put this comment here.
