Why do projects name Xanadu always seems to mean some boondoggle?
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.
What is so "right-wing" about Mackey's rhetoric? Is it assumed because he is a CEO? From what I'm reading, there's nothing much "right-wing" about it.
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.
Regulating overdraft and overlimit fees doesn't lower the demand for overdrafting or overlimiting. Regulations that lower the penalties for overdrafting will likely raise demand.
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.
Considering every musical genre is at or below my final SAT score (1380/1600), it could only mean:
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.
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.
And then his fear returns when he unlocks the Nazi zombie mode...
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?
For now, it helps Verizon every time they introduce FIOS to an area its often cheaper and better for existing cable customers.
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.
What is irony? Using grids to help save time on a project only to discover dozens of competing frameworks each purporting to be better than the other. So you waste time learning how to use a few of them.
If you are like me, you then give up and spend time writing your own framework.
