$1800/mo. Damn. That's the equivalent of working a 40 hour week $10.80/hour job. I'd be pushing my kids down the stairs to make sure we got our money's worth.

About 10 years ago I worked the register at a Dollar Tree store for exactly 1 six hour shift. I almost didn't go back to pick up my paycheck it was so bad. The customer base of these stores is very very sad. For every artist that's browsing

Clearly, corporate income would go to the employees' wages, so the corporate income tax is a double taxation of employees' wages not Mr. Moneybags' dividends. </eyeroll> I am embarrassed for writers that make these arguments. They a

British society, like American society, places consumerism above all else. Britain's "underclass" are reminded constantly that they must have consumer product A through Z to be happy and that they will never have them. The poor of Britain a

You make good points, but the comparison to a mortgage payment is not one of them. My missed mortgage payment affects my credit rating, but not the credit rating of the bank who holds my mortgage because they hold thousands of other mortgag

S&P's position doesn't make any sense. If U.S. defaults what happens to the world economy and every other AAA rated debt? So long as US Treasuries shore up the balance sheet of every government and corporation, a default takes down ever

Not all that surprising. Eventually the LulzSec people will get popped inadvertently, but they'll run law enforcement in circles for quite a while before it happens. LulzSec and Anonymous thrive on ambiguity and confusion so they can keep p

I don't really disagree, but in any other circumstance $24k in back taxes won't see the inside of a courtroom let alone lead to jail time. The IRS will typically just send a bill with some penalties and interest tacked on. The US Attorney r

As far as I can tell, the two main criteria that makes a publication an academic publication: 1) Peer review is done anonymously and errors are discussed privately. 2) More people "wrote" it than read it.

>also people are terrible at modeling data in a relational way. While true, I don't think this is quite fair. Not all of our clients/employers are huge entities with business processes and data requirements that are stable for decades.

I do not recommend name.com. They have really sleazy DNS practices. They setup parking pages for all of your domain names if they aren't overridden with your own records and wildcard subdomains as well.
