  2. financial responsibility? on Financial Responsibility == Terrorism? · · Score: 0

    Since when does paying off all of one credit card considered financial responsibility? That money should be paid out when its charged, or shortly there after... letting $6500 sit on a CC (most likely at ~19.9%) can add to the overall cost of that card considerably. If instead of saving up to $6500 and paying it off at once, pay it off in a few payments over the whole life of the balance... less finance charges..

    Who cares that the Dept of HS was notified... if you run a business, and someone makes a payment that is considerably higher than what is normal, espeically if the balance is rolling over month to month, wouldnt you notify someone?

    Accountability goe sup the line as well...

    Who is to say that he focused the mirrors onto the hull? With the temperatures that can be reached, even in the myth busters setup, would you not try to light the sails on fire, as they would ignite far more quickly and cause destruction from above?

    Once the sails are on fire, they would be destroyed rather quickly, the ropes that hold them would burn and snap, possibly dropping the huge mast that holds the sails up in place. This could break the back of the ship, or at least cause some massive destruction that would disable the ship from being any kind of offensive force.

    It would be much much harder to get water to put out a fire that is burning above you, that putting one out that is below you...

  9. Re:Computer Shopper on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 0

    Thats the exact reason I would purchase the computer shopper. It would be mostly ads for companies selling something. Hence the name Computer Shopper. I would want to see the ad's to see who had the cheapest prices +shipping.

    If you purchased computer shopper for the articles, well, thats just plain dumb. Its like buying playboy to read the comics... Theyre nice and all, but its not the main reason for a purchase.

    Thats funny. Cell phones don't run on 2.4ghz...
    they run on 800/850 1800 and 1900.
    These should not cause any kind of interferance. Maybe you should check with your neighbor and make sure they are not running a router on the same channel as yours, or they may have turned up the transmission power which could be blocking you.

    Its the other way around buddy...
    Cingular bought AT&T. Here in California, all of Cingular's network is licensed from T-Mobile. So that Cingular phone you are talking on now, floats over the T-Mobile network.

    In a few years here, T-Mobile is set to take over the network and buy out Cingular.

  22. Ext. warranties on Do You Buy Extended Warranties? · · Score: 1

    I've bought one of these only once. I used to work at compusa (blech) and purchased one on a machine. Now, this computer was an old old compaq with a cyrix processor for 200$ out the door with a 249$ service plan on it. This computer was already out of the manufacturer warranty and i purchased a 5 year replacement plan (which they no longer have). I was told that when it breaks, just bring it back in and they'll replace it.

    4years later the machine still worked, but not for long. A 9v battery did the trick. They ended up being able to replace the mb/cpu albeit it cost them 419 and some change.

    2 weeks before the warranty was up, 9v to the rescue again.

    Im waiting to hear back from them on what machine theyre going to replace it with. We all know the slowest machine you can purchase at a store (compusa anyways) is around a 1.6ghz celeron which isnt bad for a free upgrade.

    So all in all, from spending 450$, ive got comp to:
    1) take a loss on the machine originally
    2) spend 420$ on replacing the mb/cpu
    3) either spend another 420$ on a new mb, or between 400-500 on a new box.

    Doesnt seem that this purchase was very beneficial to them.

    Only buy them if they last a long time and they will replace with something newer if they are unable to fix it.
