It is mandatory in most states, but realize this is home of the "Wild West" mentality.

Lots of people here think they will never get caught, so it's o.k.

Working for an airline has its benefits!

Also, it's only deductible if you have enough total deductions to exceed the "standard" deduction.

With the ever-increasing standard deduction, once you've paid down the principal a bit, that may well not be the case. Then, the mortgage interest is totally lost money.

Submit that one then examine the links. Appears to be a line from the TV show "Lost."

Yeah, I didn't know, either.

As long as I can turn it off. Permanently in my login profile.

I do not want the inane ramblings of some twittering teen-ager littering my Google results.

... and Texas is doing it also!!

,,, and more importantly to Bush/Cheney, oil!

Could be worse. We're working Saturday the 4th of July to cutover our in-house maintained system to an outsourced one that means the majority of us will soon be looking for new jobs.

Looks fantastic and is a heck of an improvement only if either:

- You have a paid TV service, in which case this mandated broadcast switchover has nothing to do with you, or

- You live in or very near the closest largish city so can get decent reception.

Try living way out in the rural boonies like my Mom and her husband. Even with a tower mounted antenna, they get blockiness, dropouts, pauses and stuttering that make it almost unwatchable. To add insult to injury, every time they re-orient the antenna to a different station/city, they need to "re-scan" for usable signals (yes, they could set them all in manually then not touch it, but you try explaining things like "channel 8-1 is actually on channel 9" to a 70 and 80 year old).

For them, this is not better than their old static-filled, but watchable, analog signal.

That and "niche" applications.
The only reason there is a Windoze box in my house is that my wife is a quilter. The current version of Electric Quilt (AFAICT) will not run acceptably under WINE. There is no reasonable FOSS equivalent.

Old comedy routine/song.

According to their FAQ:

Will my taxes go up because this project is so expensive?
No. The funds for constructing the fiber network come from bonds issued by the City of Wilson. Tax revenues are not being used to fund this project in any way.

This would be a boon to everyone except those with private jets.

...or working for commercial airlines....

Ok, how is parent a troll? He's right.

Most Americans I know are so lazy they'll circle the parking lot for minutes looking for a place in the first few rows instead of (*gasp*) walk from the far side, or even the middle of the lot.

Add in places like Chicago where it may be life-threateningly cold in the winter or here in Dallas where it's so hot in summer--even in the early morning that just a 10 minute walk will put you at work quite unprofessionally sweaty and there's no way I'm taking the bus that drops off about 10 minutes away though I cannot wait until they finish the rail line that will drop off across the street.

Ok, we have the PC OSes, of course.
We have the Amiga OS, ok.
We have Commodore OSes, ok, if you must.
We have TRSDOS, ok, for the few who used it.

Why no DOS 3.3 or ProDos?
