    No, you've recieved quite a few bills for emergency care, they are called taxes in Canada.

    He said no off-clock stress. While off the clock and artist can focus on whatever when working at such a job.

  3. Re:question on Intel's New Architecture Too Late? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only difference is the AMD laptop chips use more power, but you can always plug in somewhere and recharge so really this is no disadvantage. Spoken like a true desktop user. As someone that uses a laptop exsclusively, and precisely because it is mobile, that diference in battery life really matters. The fact that i can get 4 hours out of my 8 cell battery, and 6 out of my 12 cell battery on a computer that can play HL2 on max settings is something that I find rather convient. Finding a plug in my classes, and plugging in while in most of the business conferences I go to aren't options, so having over 10 hours of battery life at my disposal, and still have a viable computing option when I'm plugged in is a very, very nice thing. That battery life thing really matters. Unlike other Intel processors the pentium M/core series is vey good, and I'm glad they are phasing out their horrible excuse for an oven element, the P-4

  4. Re:Should be reversed on U.S. Ecommerce To Be Broadly Taxed? · · Score: 1

    Why should I, as a resident of another state, be forced to subsidize your state's government? You wouldn't want to pay my 7% sales tax (6.5% for the state, .5% county) instead of your own, where you get none of it applied to your local infrastructure.... If your idea took hold, Oregon, NH, and other no-tax states would get lots of new fedex depots.....

    You aren't forced to, if you don't want to support their state's taxes, don't buy from them, that's hardly being forced, because it's a voluntary purchase. And the influx of bussiness into states with no sales tax is the benefit to the state if they decide to have no tax. States much balance out the added benefit of those businesses with the lowered tax revenue from sales.

  5. Re:Horrible and Disgusting on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 1

    No it really isn't, the teenagers who aren't a problem are most likely not the ones that are loitering outside of the store, they just get a second of this tops as they walk inside, and as they leave, so it doesn't prevent anything as far as law abiding teens go, just the ones that loiter are really affected.

    And just a note, I am 21 so I am in the age group that is potentially affected.
