The free market has already handled this. The senator has been bought and paid for, to the tune of $30,000 in campaign contributions from J.P. Morgan Chase. The same J.P. Morgan Chase that is strongly against bitcoin. That weakens the senators argument a bit IMHO.
Did he really say 6% ?? Holie shit, that bad. Even back when I was a construction laborer 10 yrs ago, the company matched us dollar for dollar. And that was in a non-union job, all you needed was 3 yrs attendance. The had Oppenheimer manage it, it was a pretty good deal since we were paid really poor to begin with.
Plato's allegory of the cave comes to mind.
As long as the ice has enough snow on top of it, you can drive just fine. Snow has more grip than ice. Been there done that in the ice storm of 1998... the one that blacked out a chunk of the northeast. Took a couple hours but I made it the 15 miles into work that day.
studded tires
THIS is so true... (I'm from Buffalo) Good tires makes all the difference along with learning how to drive. And yes its been in the single-digits here too, with caked snow and ice.
I get these idiots in the suburbs who think that 4 wheel drive makes them God or something. I usually see them in the ditch later. I drive a Jeep, but I grew up in the country and I know better than to be an idiot - 4 wheel drive dowes *not** equal 4 wheel STOP.
Yeah Atlanta could have prepared better for the occasional storm... there should be some kind of equipment lending program among several southern states for the occasional event like this... that said, I'm from Buffalo. It takes a several feet to shut us down, and in the summers it can reach 99 def F. And yet, we seem to do just fine, I took my driving test 30 yrs ago in worse stuff than this.
Yeah, but its a distinction without a difference since this is all about gaming on linux -- everyone involved will still be a virgin, guaranteed. Most likely forever.
*Congress* is worried about liars???? Who the hell do they think they are? Pot, meet kettle. Congressmen themselves like like dogs as a matter of course, but they will be all upset if anyone lies to them??? Yeah, right.
Somehow I think that actual holocaust survivors would be insulted by this comparison. Also I think the yahoo has lost all sense of perspective and proportion.
I think what angers everyone else is that "the rich" are playing by a different set of rules. Fix that and you'll fix most everything else.
It would be nice if I could find a non-statist, who is *also* not a corporatist. Unfortunately all the non-statists I've ever heard of are devout corporatists.
