When I go to Wendy's, which is the only fast food chain I've been into in a while, they come see me at the register promptly even when there is drive through traffic. And there usually is, because most of their orders seem to go through there.

When I eat hot food out, and it's not in a restaurant, I park someplace promptly and eat it. You can always ask your GPS to find you a park, or even just zoom out a bit and look for green shapes.

But I do agree that it's bananas to spend big money for delivery when food is a short drive away. This is the freedom people are talking about in car ownership, to not drive?

Isn't this subjective? For my part I would rather drive to town and get my food as hot as possible and as fast as possible, and without anyone mooching any of my fries.

It doesn't make sense as a reply to this story, but otherwise it makes perfect sense... To anyone who's not a Nazi.

You didn't know who saw it, but you don't know that now. I don't look at everything on a web page. I block out as much irrelevant bullshit as possible, some with my brain, some with tools that may not make it clear that I didn't see the ad.

You only know who clicked the ad, and even that you can't be sure about. But you could know before who was responding to your ad if your ad contained an offer, by who came in asking for it.

That would be a great argument if the volume of the waste was all that mattered.

Did your parents have any children that lived?

Oh look downmodded, I guess the answer is no.

Some dumb fuck on here always wants to tell you how to solve your problems in ways that won't work.

It's like those Cthuluh (sp?) stories where you have cults that worship a destructive god that kills them instantly whenever it manifests. When you read it you think "why would they worship something like that ?!?" And now I'm not surprised anymore.

Yeah. Companies already have so many rights and advantages the people don't (being immortal for example), it's getting crazy that they want to pilfer the few we have. Citizen United has done *so much* damage for democracy and the world at large.

Will you pay my down payment? I did all the right things according to slashdot but my credit score is still only in the low 700s, so it's not enough to access first time home buyers assistance.

Oops, we forgot to have a society women would want to have children in. Maybe try making it not massively disadvantageous in every way to have children. People's kids used to be low cost workers. Now they are just expensive. Defray those costs if you want people to have children.

If you want women to have kids then make it an attractive option. If you don't care enough to do that then you don't care.

"Maybe Kristi can do an ad for that too."

At least the costume will be cheaper for the taxpayer

It's inertia, largely from government, but also institutionally. When businesses originally adopted Windows (3.x) there was a massive cost difference between Windows and anything else capable of doing the job of allowing users to run business applications, and in many cases the software simply wasn't there. Putting everyone on a Unix workstation would have cost 3x as much or more, even if the software existed. Putting them on X terminals and using centralized systems to support those would not have saved any money vs. Windows, at least not up front, and required a strong network.

Today they could switch, but now would have to face the cost of switching itself, and they would also find themselves incompatible with government in a number of cases.
