Re: [CGUYS] Sprint Requires SSN to Open Acct, buy Pre
It's a deal killer. It's an inappropriate use of a form of govt id which was intended for the SS admin, not the convenience of Sprint. A private biz cannot require you to divulge your ssn. It's the same thing when I was trying to buy a car and test driving. They want to keep my driver's license. They want to do this so they can run a credit check to see if I can afford the car I'm testing. All they need to know is that I have a valid dl, and that can be confirmed by visual inspection. When I test drove a car at another agency, they took no information from me, only my name. When I drove away without purchasing, they took my tag down and a few days later I received a nice ty note for considering biz with them.

Re: [CGUYS] What is a good free DVD Player PC software?

You can buy one. YOU can buy one. RIGHT NOW...you can buy it and have it delivered, have the neighbor kid set the time and hook it up and watch a movie. What is your stake in promoting something as illegal when it's not? I just Googled the topic and found a range of opinions. In some countries it is definitely illegal. In the US there is debate about whether it covered under the DMCA. As soon as there is a definite court ruling on this I will adjust my opinion. Until then we play it safe. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

[CGUYS] Regressive tax, was Re: [CGUYS] Resodding the mall, was Re: [CGUYS] Senate Approves
You're mistaken. The poor pay proportionately more sales tax. It's called a regressive tax. From dictionary.com: regressive tax A tax that takes a higher percentage of low incomes than high ones. Sales taxes, especially on food, clothing, medicine, and other basic necessities are widely cited as examples of regressive taxes. Disproportionate to what? Take sales tax - the poor tend to pay less sales tax, as more of their expenditures are on non-tax items such as food. With the earned income tax credit, their income tax can go negative, offsetting their payroll tax in whole or in part (usually in part as far as I know). Add in various forms of means tested assistance, and there are indeed some who on balance are net recipients rather than tax payers. You make some general assumptions there. Two of the three states I have lived in tax all food and general merchandise. TN has a high local sales tax 9.75% and we paid that on all groceries and GM except Prescriptions. TN had no state income tax. I presently live in AL. and they too charge full sales tax on all groceries and GM except for Prescriptions and we do have a state income tax. Local sales tax is 9%. Oh the threshold for state income tax is low. I think AL has the lowest threshold for state income tax for all states. How is that not disproportionate? I have to spend most of my income as it is not high enough to afford me a lot of discretionary income. Therefore I pay tax on most of my purchases. Stewart Rev. Stewart A.

[CGUYS] Regressive tax, was Re: [CGUYS] Resodding the mall, was Re: [CGUYS] Senate Approves
Proportionately, the poor indeed do pay more tax than the wealthy. Still, given the higher marginal tax rates on income, I very much doubt that you pay more tax than the more wealthy. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Save to PDF?, was Re: [CGUYS] Scanned
Do you mean Save as PDF ? When I last used this feature on a Pages version 3.0.2 wp document, it saved the PDF in a hug font, larger than the original Pages wp document. I thought pdfs were to preserve the look of the original. What did I do wrong? OS X's print to PDF feature is great, by the way. I use it regularly when sending documents that the recipient doesn't need to edit because that way I don't have to worry whether or not they can read it. Leopard gained the ability for PDF's to have working hyperlinks, at least for PDF's produced from Apple applications. I know it's not as good as Acrobat, but it's good enough for me, and it's free with the OS. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

What percentage of everything you consume is produced offshore by slave labor ? What do you think your Nikes (anywhere) and Kathy Lee Gifford $20 skirts (Walmart) would cost without it? Would you be willing to pay the true cost of such items when made by well-paid workers? Clearly, you've never been in Asia, where slave labor provides money to families who would otherwise lack it or otherwise starve or sell their children into the sex trade of the slums as an alternative. what percentage of your beloved MAC products are produced offshore, by slave labor? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Resodding the mall, was Re: [CGUYS] Senate Approves
plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose Three years ago they dug up Farragut Square. They even broke up all the concrete sidewalks that criss-cross the park. Then they poured new concrete where the old concrete had been. The old concrete had been fine. The new concrete looked no better. It was actually a bit worse as the new contractor had little skill. They put down sod. They didn't water it. It died. We now have a very scruffy park, just like we had before. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

[CGUYS] Resodding the mall, was Re: [CGUYS] Senate Approves Digital TV Delay
I disagree. I visited the mall this summer, and it needed to be resodded then. It's not a worthwhile expenditure for Congress, but worthwhile for the tourist industry and provides jobs. Resodding the mall (wrecked by the wonderful outpouring of support for the inauguration) may well be a worthwhile expenditure for congress, but not in an emergency economic and job stimulation package. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
