A ticket from city A to city B will cost you around $250. The same ticket will cost a government employee around $700. The only difference is that the government employee can not be bumped. I'd guess that the collars would probably end up somewhere around $2,000.
I flew out to see family and checked my bags. In one, I had a 6 pack of home brew beer securely wrapped. When I finally got around to opening my bags after I arrived, I noticed that everything was a jumbled mess. No search ticket by the moronic TSA, but the beer was missing. They will steal anything that isn't tied down.
For this to be fair, it should carry across any profession that requires you to enter a customers home. Laborers, exterminators, maids/butlers, etc, etc, etc.
We registered at BabysRus and now we're getting physical mailers for various baby products. I never signed a waiver allowing them to give away (or sell) my information.
Agreed. However, women don't seem to understand that popping a stiffy in geometry is extremely embarrassing. Puberty isn't really a fun time for either sex.
Wow... I guess I've been married for too long. I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with this sort of mentality (assuming that this is anywhere even close to reality).
So you never speed or jaywalk? Some laws do more harm than good and need to be rewritten.
As for pirating; stop screwing your customers and we'll gladly pay you for a quality product. I was one of many that got screwed when I legally purchased BioShock. As a result, I will not be purchasing (or pirating) any game that has SecuRom. The recipe for success is simply. Good game + target audience - intrusive DRM = $$$
Stop dicking around your customers and you'll have a lot less to be pissed off about.
I canceled my preorder when I found out that they loaded it up with SecuRom. I got burned with BioShock, so no more money for anyone that uses that sort of DRM.
That must be nice. Chicago is routinely buried under 6-12 inches of snow for several months. It makes anything other than personal transportation difficult. If it were possible, I would switch in a heartbeat.
Most of my groceries are purchased from a local butcher and farm stand that are within walking distance. Everything else is within a five minute drive. I'll take a bit of breathing room any day over the convenience of walking to the theater or bar.
Out of curiosity, how often do you walk or take public transit to go purchase clothing or household goods (electronics, furniture, etc)?
Your opinion (yes, it is an opinion, not the universal truth) is that four people in a two bedroom city apartment is not an issue. I doubt any family needs a 2500 square foot house, but 600-700 square feet is simply not enough. As for wasteful consumption; I don't have a monster house and I drive a relatively fuel efficient sedan.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to get at here. Are you trying to say that we should go back to a localized economy or that we should all live within walking distance of our jobs? Perhaps you're trying to say that anyone that wants to live in the suburbs should have the amenities of the dark ages? Please elaborate.
As for you preferring a park; most do. However, my yard provides a safe, close area for children to play without having to cross two major streets and walk 12 blocks.
Sometimes it leads to dark scary corners of the net... When you get older, I'll tell you about the time that I met these two girls and gave them a cup.
90 freaking minutes?? I barely have time to finish a level on Zack & Wiki these days. I haven't made a RPG purchase in over two years for the sole fact that I can't invest 40-80 hours into a game anymore.
I love the GC controller. Perfect size and button layout. I would have liked the Z button to be a big bigger, but it's not a big issue for me. Having said that; every time I try to use a PS2 controller for more than an hour, my hands start to go numb.
What if a website has a copyrighted picture and your browser stores a local copy? It seems like the current purpose of law is to make it possible to arrest anyone at a whim.
That sounds like a great idea! Why own a house with a yard for the kids to play in when we could be crammed into a two bedroom apartment with blacktop playgrounds?/sarcasm
Upping mpg requirement is all well and good, but not everyone wants to live in a city.

You think additional tax dollars would go to paying down debt? We have bridges (to no where) to build and mortgages to bail out.
it's actually illegal to give away alcohol in California
How does Napa work into that?

I'll get to that right after I'm done watching American Idol.

Lengthy uncracked period? I believe I saw the crack floating around about a week after the release. Granted, that is an eternity in this day.

It seems like we've been hearing about it since day 1. It eventually creeps into the vaporware category after a while.

I would but Obama is never around to vote.
And that is why we need to get the money out of the federal government.
