Oh, of course. I meant people who wouldn't think of hacking the url ;^). So it looks like the old plans are there but they just don't want to make it easy to get to them.

How can someone get to this if they don't know the URL?

They don't have the free and $12 and $24 plans listed on the website anymore as far as I can tell, but perhaps you are able to downgrade to one of those plans after signing up for one of the other plans.

I remember looking into whiteboard systems that automatically digitize what people write as a way to conveniently record what was written but the implication that this tech could also be used to help a blind person during a meeting is inter

I'd really like to see a before/after gallery. Or maybe it could be shown graphically as a convergence of data points somehow?

You're missing the main reason the Libertarian party was created - to preserve personal freedoms. For example, they also advocate the legalization of drugs.

"The notion that there is an independent, absolute concept of wealth or money or cash apart from the laws and government" I'd be willing to bet humans had the concept of wealth long before the concept of government.

Essentially they were converting the euro coupons which they got for free to cash with the expected value of a bet on the roulette wheel (which is slightly negative giving the house an edge over time). For example, if the avergage expected

I'm guessing there will be some kind of prompt along the lines of "Your load period for this book has expired. If you would like to continue reading, please select the 'purchase now' button below."

I think a good example would be the way Randy Pausch "hacked" his way onto NASA's "vomit comet". There was a program for students and faculty were not allowed so he couldn't go as a teacher, but he scoured the rules and found out that press

I don't know if it would be just as prevalent, maybe not but I don't think the criminals are going to pass up a proven market opportunity so I think loansharking would increase from where it is now. I do think that for the people who use pa

I'm not so much of a free-market purist (i.e no regulation) as a freedom of choice purist. I don't like seeing anyone get taken advantage of needlessly so if there are better alternatives for people I would want them to know about it. So, i

Your analogy with drug dealing is quite apt. Because what happens when people can't get what they want through legal channels? Black market. Loansharking. Broken kneecaps. Payday loans may seem to reflect the worst of our society but in act

Easy to say it's predatory but I'm not convinced. These are high risk loans so who's to say that the interest rates and fees charged aren't reflective of that risk? On the other hand I am willing to entertain the idea that if the people who

In families with such large numbers of kids, it seems it is often the older kids who at some point start to be charged with looking after the younger ones so, yeah it's "doable" but the parents aren't doing it all.

Another way to look at it is you've been in 3 major accidents and survived all of them, so it may be that the chances of having a fatal accident may be lower than you thought?
