Um, you are aware that Apple didn't actually invent the smartphone? They produced a particularly well refined model of smartphone, but the term smartphone itself wasn't even new when the iPhone came out.
How many people have you ever known with a Rio mp3 player? Now how about an iPod?
Ever heard of Charles Duryea? No? But you're heard of Henry Ford? yes?
You were spending more than $300/mo on gasoline for your Avalanche?
---------------------
There are more costs to running a car than gas. Every mile you put on it is one mile closer to it being "used up".
$0.55/mile and all that....
"Dark" refers to radio-dark (from the point of view of the Earth), not absence of sunlight.
Now I have 50/50 Internet (50 Mbps downlink, 50 Mbps uplink with a 250 GB/month cap) for 63$ per month and I'm really enjoying it!
Woah woah woah, 250GB cap with those speeds??
You could use up your entire monthly allotment by maxing out JUST download speeds for 11 hours.
What the hell is the point of speed like that if you can't use it to move lots of data? It's like getting a Ferrari and only being to drive it for 5 hours a month...
And, exactly...what is wrong with that? Are we against success these days? Isn't that the American dream...success....as much as you can attain?
Oh, nothing at all, but the post I responded to basically said "they're both wealthy", which I think is a bit of a false equivalence.
It's like saying that New York and Tokyo are both far from Washington DC, for varying values of far.
And it brought in less revenue. Capital gains cannot be increased without REDUCING revenue. Every economist recognizes this, but the collectivists keep claiming that it doesn't matter "it's an issue of fairness." Well, life ain't fair, and raising taxes to DECREASE revenue and capital seems pretty asinine.
Yeah, what side of the Laffer Curve are we on again? Thought so...
Truth is, Obama is rich, too. You can't really do federal politics without being quite wealthy.
Yeah, but Romney has literally 17x the net worth of Obama. More than an order of magnitude.
Seems like apples and oranges to me.
Where are your messiah's income tax returns
12 years worth, for both Obama and Biden:

Your move.
Would you rather they panic and we get the AGW equivalent of the Patriot Act, causing a lot of harm for very little real gain?
No, I want them to start hedging against the possibility that AGW will begin affecting us soon. Right now, NOTHING is being done. Start hedging!
The people that want all of the advantages of living out in the sticks whole accepting none of the downsides, by forcing everyone to pay to eliminate those downsides, are the selfish pricks.
Tell me, where is most of the food you eat produced? In the city or in the sticks? I guess you'd better start growing your own in your...what, apartment?
Who's the selfish prick now?

""Did God have anything to do with Katrina?," people ask. My answer is, he allowed it and perhaps he allowed it to get our attention so that we don't delude ourselves into thinking that all we have to do is put things back the way they were and life will be normal again."
The gameplay was fantastic, I agree. But the soundtrack and look (Designer's Republic) were what made the game.
Ah, but he said:
3/4 of the people conceived never are even born. This is because of the body's spontaneous abort mechanism that ceases pregnancies that have genetic problems.
I'm saying that 60 to 80% of all fertilized eggs fail to implant, and that the majority of those are *normal* eggs that don't have genetic problems.
