Just because something is a law, does not make it A- correct, or B - constitutional. Taking from people with no proof of a crime, is unconstitutional. I hope these people get a damn good lawyer, and sue the fuck out of the IRS. I mean the IRS has always been a clusterfuck, but i cant think of any other time in my admittedly short life that the IRS has been involved in so many scandals
just a side note, my shady business people was more of a jab at the people making the laws with the politicians, not the oil companies. they have some very low return, government taxes take more pennies per gallon than the oil companies make per gallon (how would you like that gig? do nothing and collect more than the business does?)
agreed, which is the point I am making. Sure they are nice, and one day they will become viable to the masses. now is not that time and trying to force them onto us would be a horrible idea (CAFE is heading in that direction already)
anyone who has ever grown anything indoors knows one of the things you do is buy a CO2 generator! anyone who thinks CO2 is bad for plant growth knows nothing about plants
while many environmental groups said the goals weren't ambitious enough.
They could say they want to cut the number 100% by 2030, and there would be people out there saying its not fast enough. It seems for some reason everytime something like this comes up, the only people you hear are those who say we shouldnt do anything, and those who say we are already doomed and should live in mud huts. Why cant we come up with a rational response? something where we use what we have now, and work towards a better tomorrow together?
instead of saying "global warming is a hoax!" why not say "well, its always better to have a clean environment, so lets work towards the goals"
and instead of saying "we need to stop using oil now! we need to stop using X Y Z NOW!!!" , how about we say "well, i know we cant stop society by eliminating everything that is "bad for the environment" so lets work at it one step at a time"
in the end, we go broke, shady business people get rich, and nothing changes. its disgusting
not really, I know quite a number of people in the music business, Ive been around it for a number of years now (its my hobby/failed business venture)
Everyone working with protools and most other music tools are using the surface these days, it just makes sense for them when on the go. the touch screen makes mixing and fading a little more natural than using a mouse, and it has the hardware power to do everything well.
honestly the onlything wrong with the surface is the OS which can be flashed to linux anyway
and what you are missing is that min wage jobs are not intended to be livable wages!!!. they are jobs to train high schoolers how to work, they are part time jobs for a parent whos kid is now in school and wants a few spending dollars. its not, nor was it ever intended that one can take care of a family on a min wage job (nor should it be!)
why should someone who can barely take my order correctly deserve to make more than I make working on a help desk keeping big companies up and running on multi million dollar accts? (no exaggeration i make shit money taking care of coach handbags cash registers) its not logical, its not moral, its simply wrong
and the idea that one has to do nothing to live " a middle class life" is also just as wrong.
Should someone who only has the skills to work a mcdonalds front counter be able to afford a new cell phone every 2 years (top of the line) should they be driving a new car? should they be have a 60 inch flat screen tv?
you know as well as i do the answer is no. this is not me being a heartless son of a bitch, I lost my good paying job, im currently working a help desk making shit, I have a 8 year old PC (granted it was a 3K$ custom 8 years ago) a 20 inch tube TV, I eat raman more than id like and you know why? because I know I cant afford much better right now. I dont feel the government or "rich people" owe me a thing
google always throws out 100 half baked ideas, and hopefully one or 2 of them end uop being decent.
sometimes its annoying when I find one I like that gets discontinued (igoogle home page for example) but if you make 100 things that suck and 2 that are awesome, thats still 2 more awesome things that didnt exist before. they have the money and talent so let um!
I have met Mr. Bolden several times, and had the opportunity to see him in action. He is an excellent NASA administrator who is seriously focused on "boots on Mars," not self-esteem initiatives.
Thank you for your insight. I am really pleased to hear that
The phone came out a month ago, of course it will, everyone who has an iphone and can is upgrading, others have.been waiting for a bigger iphone. Lets wait a year, at least a quarter beore who go claiming that they are all of a sudden owning the large form factor
How is a tablet, with a touch screen, and optional attachable keyboard in anyway a copy of a thin forn factor, non touch screen laptop?? I mean in what world are these things remotely the same??? And I hate you even more for making me defend microsoft.

congress and the president said slavery was ok at one point too. just because congress knows about something, doesnt mean its right
dont forget if we lost the war, our founding fathers would be considered traitors and hung for treason. one mans traitor is another mans patriot
I would very much like to see that to be honest. give the man a taste of what innocent people all over america deal with on no knock warrants

I would MUCH rather see phones no longer bundling their crapware on the phones, i mean you cant even delete them (without rooting)

we are all people yes, but you know what? life is not fair. It sounds heartless but no, no one "deserves" anything in life.
the only idiot here is the one who brings politics into a topic that has NOTHING to do with politics

i would argue that is not trolling however, that is exactly what you said however

great list. Ive seen a number of these but a bunch are new Thanks!
is she cute??? if so yes
believe it or not, in those double wide drivethrus, the orders are actually taken at a call center, not in store. at least the McDonalds are that way

Thank you for your insight. I am really pleased to hear that
while that was an absolutely stupid thing to do, its not really relevant to the topic at hand here now is it??
last I checked parody != harassment. I know some celebrities and politicians would LOVE for that to be true, but so far, its not
The phone came out a month ago, of course it will, everyone who has an iphone and can is upgrading, others have.been waiting for a bigger iphone. Lets wait a year, at least a quarter beore who go claiming that they are all of a sudden owning the large form factor
What next? Apple patents the large form factor phone??
