Comment Re:Yeah, but Tulsa (Score 1) 118

Tulsa is a pretty nice place.....big city with plenty to do....not a hick town by any stretch.....lot of nice lakes and forests to the Northeast (they call it Green Country), so lots of places to go if you are the outdoorsy type... Tulsa is only an hours drive from me.....would be neat to check out that program to further my IT career, but they probably wouldn't take an old fart like me... ;)

In fairness, the claim that it "might be less impossible than previously thought" may be accurate. It could be less impossible and still be pretty much impossible. And I don't think anyone believed that a warp drive could be built without violating some of our current laws of physics.

All someone needs to do is hurry up and invent verterium cortenide and everything else will fall into place....

I work for a healthcare company and that little exchange would be an ethics violation....the doctor would be required to purchase the house at fair market value.....you are not allowed to get property from current or former patients at a discount because of services you rendered...lots of other healthcare companies probably work the same way...

This doesn't appear to be an issue about taxes...it is about someone receiving govt assistance while making undeclared money on the side and not reporting that income, therefore possibly making them ineligible for further govt. assistance. That would be like someone here in the States drawing unemployment compensation, but making $50,000 a year selling stuff on the side. If that is the case for that person, they shouldn't be drawing govt. assistance since they have an income..

Sounds nice down there....crazy thing about our student loan system is now there are instances of colleges WITHHOLDING http://boingboing.net/2012/05/08/universities-hold-students-t.html/ your college transcript until your debts are paid off. That means you cannot get a job to REPAY those debts, which basically is indentured servitude. The thing is that the schools are the ones that are not owed the money. The loans are from the government...and they are making the schools into collection agencies. HTF are you supposed to pay your bill off if you cannot GET A JOB WITHOUT YOUR TRANSCRIPT?!?!
