No, by my logic, walking is free, consumer level vehicles top out at 60k, midrange is 30k. All the transportation at higher prices (luxury cars, jets etc) is typically classified as 'luxury' rather than consumer (and typically not sold through standard consumer channels). Likewise, I omitted $8K professional grade graphics cards from the consumer range, which are not typically sold at consumer outlets.
Also, if I click open the Score: 4 to see how a post was moderated, I jump up to the top of the article after I close that window. I should just land back where I was.
Also, why are some of the headlines rounded, and others not. The inconsistency looks really weird. I guess I would vote all rounded corners rather than none.
First, this text box I'm typing in right now is clipped on the left in firefox 4 (the left nav is hovering over it, all the way to covering up most of the 'C' in Comment Subject:
Second, when I went to read replies to my posts, the links took me to my grandparent post, rather than the reply to a reply that I should have visited. I had to expand out 4 messages to get to the message I was supposed to be receiving.
Yes, it is in the middle of the range from people who spend $0 additional for the on the on-board graphics of their motherboard/cpu, and the people who spend $500 for a top-of-the-line card. Mid-range, exactly fitting the definition.

But you'll probably dismiss the brookings institute as biased.
It is fair. The people at the bottom do most of the work in our society, and it is what keeps things going. They just don't get paid fairly, so the government has to intervene because the free market won't act sanely.
Statistics in the US actually suggest very low social mobility. The percentage chance of a poor person becoming a middle class or rich person is very very low. Likewise movement in the other direction.
It's not inflation, the competitive pool is genuinely more competitive than it was 50 years back. IQs are on the rise. Great knowledge worker jobs are sparse, and there are a lot of mid level knowledge workers trying to compete for them.
I've had good luck with linkedin. I posted my resume/experience there, and I get interview offers about 3 times per week, with about 90% being for jobs I would at least consider seriously if I were looking.

That's an odd request. Most buyers of high end displays don't want glossy.

What should I do with a confiscation horse, because the old system was better.

Another vote for it not being long user name.
Another vote for too much white.
Shrink the margins a couple of pixels everywhere.

Are there really games that do that, I haven't heard of that.
Are you telling me the roof supports of your car don't bother you? I hate them. I so wish we could get domes or transparent supports.
Because the thick bars in the middle of the viewfield drive most of us crazy.

Or did you need 2k vertical? That's going to be much harder to come by.
I hate to say it, but 'in the middle of the two end points of the range' is pretty much the dictionary definition of 'mid-range'.

Can we apply an exception for the highway chase, sort of like the exception for the light-saber duel that is the only part of SWI that exists?

Oh I'm with you on the value of a degree for standing out vs no degree. I was just commenting on the general lack of competent candidates.
Look, all I want is an honest week's pay for an honest day's work. Is that so much to ask?
Oh so you want a union job...

Top 10% pay only 70% of tax.

I can't find an irs link, but you didn't provide one either.
If the top 10% fled the country, their incomes would be given to other americans, who would then pay the same taxes.
