    My netbook was $250, has Windows 7 Home Premium and a HDMI out. Of course it has an AMD C-60 processor.

  6. Re:So confusing... on Solar Panel Breaks "Third of a Sun" Efficiency Barrier · · Score: 1

    The real question is what will the efficiency be after 10-20-30 years?

    Wife has a Camry, I have a Sable. My Sable is far better than her car. I've got 212,000 miles on my car; she has 167,000 miles on her car. (for those outside NA, a Sable is basically a Ford Taurus).

    Jimmy Carter took away the collective bargaining rights of the federal employee unions back in the 1970's.

    I guess we can call the new Microsoft shills Metro-sexuals.

    I've got the season 1 BD set. The picture quality is amazing.

    But it won't run on a WP7 phone. And Microsoft has been **VERY** silent on the upgradability of the current WP handsets to WP8.

    "Kimberly Hester does not have clean hands. Posting an offensive picture of a co-worker with pants around ankles could be considered sexual harassment."

    So you claim this to be a fact?

    >>Any ideas what a domestic company would have told me had my ECU failed at 100K out of warranty?

    I'd assume that any car company would have done it since it was a recall.

    My Sable will hit 199,000 miles when I drive home today. Amazing car considering how I've beaten it, and have had almost no problems. It has had fewer problems than my wife's Camry.

    >>>I see $1200 for a transmission against $25,000 for a new car

    You are going to spend alot more than $1200 for a transmission. I would guess $3K - $5K.

  18. Re:True stories on Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles · · Score: 1

    I find salespeople are lazy. The second you show any interest in any model, they want to sell it to you - so they can go and chat with their buddies. Show an interest in WP7, and they will be on you like sharks.

  19. Re:True stories on Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles · · Score: 1

    When I go into a store, they push the WP7 phones - they often are $0.01. The salespeople just want to make a quick sale, and a "free" phone is one of the fastest ways.

  20. Re:Time to call their bluff... on AT&T Threatening To Raise Rates After Merger Failure · · Score: 1

    I got my plan through AT&T wireless. AT&T Wireless was bought by Cingular. So my plan was even older than yours, but I still have it, although AT&T is trying hard to make me switch.
