I didn't say you were against both. But all indications DO point to a large portion of the GOP being against one and not the other. I thought this article was about the GOP stance against solar subsidies, not yours.
Why not? Every other type of energy gets subsidies, especially when they are starting out. And while most of us just shake our head at the massive profits oil companies make year after year they continue to be subsidized by our government - and I'm sure the good ol' GOP boys and gals wouldn't have it any other way.
But don't take my word for it, Ixquick it. Here, I got you started.
Because it's Microsoft. As soon as I read the summary I thought - of course it was criticized, it's Microsoft!
But I do understand the knee jerk reaction to any and all things Microsoft, it's simply been ingrained in the IT industry for so long now.
But on the other hand, I agree with you, if some student is interested in learning a real world work skill than let them. It would be nice if they would offer Red Hat certifications or some other competing certifications as well but, who knows, maybe if this goes well they will.
I agree that meetings can potentially be as you described but a potential major waste of everyone's time in a meeting would be sitting and waiting for so and so to get off their damn phone.
I'm over 40 - here's my take: the texting? No problem. You may miss something in the middle of paying more attention to the phone than the current speaker but you're not really disrupting anyone else. A phone call? No way, people can not tune you out and the noise you are generating is unacceptable.
They can't put everybody in that hole. Hell even if 2 % of the population did this it probably would be too many people to hunt down and prosecute without raising even more general outrage.
Why can't each state be responsible for the tax tables?
In my experience most states do provide these. On paper or PDF.
Well, that's an exaggeration but really some provide txt, others csv ( and really, I can swear our accountants only get the data in a paper book from one state, can't remember who though, maybe it's changed over the years). But anyway, even the electronic copies generally have different schema and, in some cases, are difficult at best to interpret. My small company deals with 8 states if I remember correctly because of our remote sales force. We have a staff account who spends about half her time on this in a month and that's with support from IT. Adding 42 more states would be horrible.
So the fix of having the states provide data would be somewhat more manageable if they could come up with a standard format but in my mind I think the states would be better served by coming up with a common internet tax at a flat rate instead of imposing sales tax on out of state orders. I realize sales taxes are used by different states to paint themselves one way or another so I'm not suggesting every state implement the sames sales tax rate, just that if their residents are receiving goods from another state that they pay a flat rate tax for that. Anything bought locally would still be subjected to the usual sales tax.
Of course I can hear the low sales tax states screaming already about the Feds imposing on them and I can hear the higher sales tax states moaning about how everything their residents buy is now through the inter-tubes because the flat rate is lower than their sales tax... So, you know what, forget I said anything! This is why I am not a politician.
OK, for varying definitions of true I'll accept that but I'm pretty sure that "vendor" broke whatever contract they were supposed to have with Microsoft by doing so.

And see? Some moderator came along and proved my point for me!
He said something remotely positive about Microsoft? Redundant!
Guess I should be grateful I'm not Flamebait.
Why the negative?
Because it's Microsoft. As soon as I read the summary I thought - of course it was criticized, it's Microsoft!

Arrr...

No, it's a sail boat.
I can't think of a more ringing endorsement of what the CSU faculty are doing with this blog.

Cause it's just so damn cute!
Already said a million times or more but *this* is why I am not on Facebook.
Oh wait, I probably am and just don't know it thanks to my "friends". So I guess what I should have said is "this is why I hate Facebook"!

Of course, numbers don't lie. It's obvious; Cancer causes Cell Phones.
I do use adblock, and noscript, but not everyone does and the main reason I prefer these links was stated in my subject, one page.
