Geico, is owned by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett's insurance conglomerate) they offer insurance nationwide, except for New Jersey, the Insurance Commission and most insurance companies are having difficulty seeing eye to eye on alot of issues, and maybe Alaska & Hawaii. They're pretty cheap, about the same as the other discounters, like progressive, due to not having branch offices. I've personally found amica to be cheaper then the others, but you do need to have a clean driving record for 3 years or so.
I agree, and would even put forward the hypothesis that this is a sign that the bust is getting closer to ending. There will still be many shocks in IT, but this along with other signs of irrational apathy towards IT. Another sign will be ignoring all benefits, even if the project would have positive value to a disinterested observer.
At that point those who invest in the good projects can get an advantage in the short term and this advantage, as well as the associated recovery, will spark the beginning of the recover.
The only selling point of a blade 100 Sun brings up is that its binary compatable with their big iron, I'm not sure that x86 Solaris is even just recompile compatable with their big iron. Any one who is buying sun for harder uses will either spring for a server sun ray combo or get blade 1000s.
While it could be just be market speak, Sun has committed to making atleast 2 generations of UltraSparcs. IV is supposed to be ready shortly, and is expected to be pin compatable with the US III. V is supposed to be something like 18 months past that. I haven't kept up with the roadmaps, but IV is getting pretty close, so you should have at least one more generation. Of course Alpha's were supposed to be Compaq's architecture for some time, before the sale to Intel and HP purchase.
While I agree that they will probably have to adopt someone elses processor in the long run, they still have some breathing room.
They haven't announced any plans for x86 workstations (they have been talking about this one for about 6 months or so), they only possiblity would be if Hammer is truly amazing they might drop Intel for AMD on a larger x86 box 4-8 processors.
I enjoy a rice and lentil soup, the dry ingredents last nearly for ever, and the soup lasts quite a while. If you can get over the color, its sort of gray. Its excellent in a tortilla or as a thick stewy soup. Its a little plain without the hot sauce, but garlic or other strong flavors would also work. If you want the recipe email me.
Actually its because economists guzzle the stuff like it was water. I went to an econ conference once, and it was the most surreal experience. They generally had coolers and kegs at each dinner, but it was topped off each night by a trip to the local bar.
Futures options do exist, they are simply options on futures, and you can trade them on CBOT and maybe CME, aswell as some of the other minor exchanges (Philly, Pacific, etc.) The trade isn't as liquid as say Eurodollar futures, but it beats eggs or milk futures. I also think they were trading around the 12th or 13th since neither Chicago exchanges were threatend, and they're trying to become the global exchange just like NYSE, NASDAQ, Dax, LSE and the other major country bourses.
Another one is the weather forecasting. Computer simulations do most of the heavy lifting, but you still dont just see the news put up a screen with their forcast, and people still watch the news specifically for the weatherman. Now the internet is a great place to get forcasts, but I'd guess that the Weather Channel still gets more viewers than WeatherChannel.com.
You still need humans when you are close to pipes and cables. And watch the next backhoe operating near you their are generally many people working around it.
Actually the corporate debt level increase is mostly a result of the understanding of leverage. Leverage is the property of debt that even if you make more money, your debt payments are fixed. As companies and treasurers realized that the optimal debt level was above their current low levels, they increased usually through mergers. That's one of the big reasons for the leveraged buyouts and mergers of the 1980s.
The telecom debt is mostly a misinformation problem. Loaners gave new companies way too much debt because all the parties involved based their forcasts on their company or the company they invested in was the only one that would be competing with AT&T. Once all of these new low cost competitors got their networks built, they all found that the price of long distance data transmission dropped.
The consumer debt level is much more concerning to me, at some point, consumers will start paying down their debt, or worse default and then the economy is going to go down the tubes for a while.
675s work when the 678s are required? I'm a Qwest DSL customer and was thinking about an external connection, but I do not want to pay for a 678. However the 675s are available very inexpensivly on E-bay if there was a chance they worked, especially if they just need a flash or something similar, I would be very interested.
My favorite coincidence was the Superbowl Dow Jones correlation from Super Bowl I to superbowl 20 something. It turned out that if a pre-merger AFL team won the market went down, but if an old NFL team one the market went up. No causation, and the correlation hasn't held but it did for about 20 years.
Dell carries almost no inventory. And thier inventoy is what they are currently working on or shipping out. They only onder stuff as they need it, to be a supplier of Dell you have to be able to meet 3 hour delivery times. That's how they keep their costs lower than HP/Compaq, Gateway, and others. So don't expect any inventory clearance sales.
Assuming a fairly negotiated purchase price, the value of the invention would be equal to the present value of the energy produced. Since even the oil companies don't have 100% profit margins, they would be better off marketing the newly invented energy.
I think the change is a result of the difference in style. With Star Wars and ET the standard that other editions will be compared with are the originals. In LotR the standard is the book. Since things from the book were skipped to make a movie that people could watch in one sitting, the added scense will probably fil in some of the detail lost. While I hope and expect that the special edition includes more of the scenes from the book, I still plan to rent the special edition when it comes out, and then decide on which version to own.
That's what I did as well, the extras in this edition were pretty boring. I'm holding out for the special edition, I hope it isn't too much more expensive.
Do your best not to get piled up with debt, use check cards, and if you need a card for emergiencies, get an additional card on your parents account, that way someone else can check your credit spending. If you do get piled up in Credit card debt, don't just make the minimum payment. Even a few dollars more per month, means you pay of the debt years earlier and save lots of interest. Credit cards are a very expensive way to borrow.

I believe EMC is planning to introduce a product for the low end, that will utilize Serial ATA.

You still currently need pilots, they just stay in a much safer bunker, rather than an aluminum clad cockpit.

Or velocity, carbon fiber flywheels hold more energy than steel, because they can spin much faster.
Wal-Mart's POS systems won't sell more than 3 boxes of Sudafed at a time.

You sir deserve a graduate degree in economics.

A more legal method would be to buy this edition used or on clearance when the other one comes out.
