Maybe he meant "coup deGrasse" which is when Neil deGrasse Tyson overthrows scientific ideas.

If merchants added the CC service fee then you could pay $100 cash or $103 with a CC. That's why there should be a law that CC fees have to be added on just like sales tax.

After all, for the consumer, a fee is no different than a tax except that it goes to different bloodsucker.

I buy my coffee direct from a Canadian company that has partnered with a coffee grower in Thailand to provide a high quality, shade grown, organic coffee. Although I've never tried it (due to the price and the obvious ick factor), they offer Kopi Lewak but it is from wild civets not caged, domesticated civets for this exact reason.

It's not only the digestive process that is important but that the civets are particular and only eat the ripest, sweetest berries and theoretically the best berries contain the best beans. Since this company's coffee is already a high quality coffee I imagine their Kopi Lewak is also better than the rest due to their use of wild civets.

This is analogous to the difference between commercially raised and free range chickens.

Then maybe you just need to up the ante. How about have the real Bieber sitting naked on the edge of his desk seductively blowing him kisses?

Back in the day I co-developed a set of tools that off loaded costly mainframe development to relatively inexpensive OS/2 workstations. Code was synchronized between the two platforms with a full execution environment for each developer rather than the single shared environment they had on the mainframe. For those of you interested in such things, it was a CICS/COBOL/DB2 application being developed.

At the time, Windows 3.1 would have been the only alternative and it couldn't even come close to what OS/2 was capable of.

Protable? WTF is protable?

How can you possibly introduce a spelling mistake...TWICE...with a cut/paste?

Various incarnations of MVS have been running since 1974. No viruses or malware reported. Five years barely even registers on that time scale.

Real men run their operating systems on big iron.

Of course you'll never be 100% safe but that's no reason to not at least try. Let's say current laws make you 50% safe but that with new laws you could push that to 80%. Wouldn't it be worth doing if you can make yourself safer?

It might look like something like Canada. You must be licensed (after a background check) to have a gun, you have have to store safely/securely and can it only be transported between your home and certain locations (gun club, gun shop, hunting range, etc).

I used to own a gun and after the initial paperwork it's not that much of a hassle and the responsible gun owners (keyword "responsible") I met might have grumbled about the aggravation some times but they all understood why the rules were there.

That's the excuse used by certain gun lobbies to protect the status quo. The status quo kills more and more people every day.

[Warning. Obligatory car analogy ahead.]

To legally drive a car you need to register with the government and be evaluated by an examiner. In most places you're required by law to have insurance. The government even puts limits on how you're able to use your car - minimum age, speed limits, stop signs, traffic lights, driving on the right hand side, no drinking and driving, etc. The government also determines what kind of car is street legal.

So where's the outrage over the government infringing on your rights?

Do the government's laws and regulations prevent you from owning a car? No.
Does it promote public safety? Yes.

That's what guns laws are about. Just like you can't drive a top fuel dragster on the highway you don't need a high power assault rifle with a 50 round magazine. Why? Because it's not in the best interests of public safety.

I only know what you meant by what you said. If you meant "use a thermometer every day" then you shouldn't have said "boil water everyday", something we all clearly do.

Sometimes when you "try" to be clever it ends up looking like the opposite. Maybe you should be clearer in the future.

I think the same thing every morning as I make my coffee...oh, wait. No, I meant iced coffee...damn it.

I thought their two weapons were surprise and fear.

You must have been thinking of Uranus.
