I'm a bot, because I couldn't tell the difference between dogs and cats while using Rapidshare a few years back.

Xanadu is a name of a mall in Jersey that was supposed to open in 2007 but got pushed back next summer. Even then, it might not even survive the recession.
I guess the lesson is never call your projects Xanadu or Duke Nukem Forever.
How is allowing consumers to purchase insurance across state lines right-wing? I can make the same argument for having an abortion instead of purchasing insurance.
Equalizing tax benefits for employer and individually purchased insurance? Who argues against that?
Price transparency? Tort reform? Tax deductible donations to the uninsured? Are you sure liberals are objecting to this?
Medicare reform is a pretty general statement.
The only position that can be considered "right-wing" is repeal government mandates for types of coverage.
Like the Congressmen that hasn't read their own bills, I have a feeling most boycotters haven't read the actual article. In this authors case, he seemed to skipped the most important part.
If you regulate the demand side like limiting or banning overdrafts, let's just say drug dealers can do a bit more business with their pocket money.
Banks charge outrageous fees because consumers are willing to fork over a lot of money later for money immediately.
Wanna stick it to the banks and credit card companies? Don't overdraft and pay your balance in full and on time and collect reward points or cash back.
In keeping with the Dude theme, I would suggest Belgian beer tasting instead. There are trappists, lambic, framboise, witbier, or my favorite, all of the above.
1. SAT's are not an indication of intelligence. 2. There is no correlation between type of music and SAT scores. 3. All music, including Beethoven, makes people dumber.
Author claims this is funny? What's funny? People that listen to Soca, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Gospel make the dumbest students? Here's a correlation, which diaspora pioneered all four of those musical genres?
This is inaccurate. I love Lil Wayne. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed Beethoven.
It would be nice if they do though, since that means more work for me.
That's how I started.
I am for legalization but I wish people would talk up marijuana like its some miracle drug with great health and economical benefits.
I disagree with Chinese characters being difficult, at least the part about learning all the characters. There is a methodical approach to learning all the character (there are up to 3000 needed as the article states). I've been using http://smart.fm/ because they took this approach and wrapped it up in a neat flash app.
So while it takes years to master all the nuances of writing and speaking Chinese, I find that reading and understanding it takes less time.
- kill Sarbanes-Oxley (and other burdensome regulations but this is #1 priority) - introduce a Hong Kong style tax system
I have no familiarity with how to combat "patent trolls", but something should be done there.
Its not enough to just be #1.
As a joke, I make developer and pornographer interchangeable. Too bad I don't do back-end work.
Anyway. He makes no mention that COD:WAW's, Nazi zombie mode the objective is to survive as long as possible until the inevitable of being ripped apart by Nazi zombies.
For someone whose fear of Nazis came after the fact, I wonder what would his reaction to this mode?
If venture capital is so reluctant to invest, then lower the barriers of bringing a company public.
Which is why I think eventually cable companies like Comcast and AT&T could easily take back Verizon customers with more aggressive pricing and upgrading their existing network, which costs a lot less than Verizon's fiber optic network.
If you are like me, you then give up and spend time writing your own framework.
Netbooks were meant to expand the portable computing market, not redistribute it.
The issue is not GM being unable to build the best cars in the world (compare Corvette ZR-1 to a 911 GT2), it's the lousy way they approach CAFE standards (Aveo, Cobalt). Can Porsche design and market a car that goes 35 mpg?
GM doesn't need help creating high-end products either (see ZR-1, G8, CTS-V, etc. the marketing needs improvement though), so can jobs design and market the car equivalent of a Netbook?
No. Not a right, especially when performing constitutionally-protected actions. I don't believe people should be required to identify themselves online, but I do believe that people who post anonymously should expect to be exposed eventually.
A better question would be whether legal channels should be used in the exposure of an anonymous person.
I believe so only if all other option are exhausted.
"Do the pros outweigh the cons?"
Yes, but only in place where free speech is not protected by the state.
1. Monitors are getting wider more than it is getting taller. 2. The latest browsers replaced "increase text size" with a zoom entire site feature instead.
Liquid layouts are useful if executed correctly and only if there has to be a lot of content to present.
Why do people expect privacy in a website in which one's goal is to display their vanity to everyone?
Restricting foreign competition for jobs only foster complacency and increase the likelihood of my job being outsourced.
You could say my Libertarianism is malignant.
Free trade means the free movement of capital AND labor.
