    In the San Francisco Bay Area the only discipline required, is pay your mortgage. In five years I will be a millionaire with the equity in my home and money in my 401k.

    Why did the insurance company decide to remove this plan that gave you fantastic coverage? In fact even made financial sense for them, so much so they had an out but didn't take it.

    Those are the two games I spend most of my time on, but I do play other Dirt 3 and grid 2.

  6. Does Steam run on ChromeOS on Asus Announces Small Form Factor 'Chromebox' PCs · · Score: 1

    Can you run steam on this . Or load SteamOS if so I think this would be very interesting to have this coupled with steam in home streaming.

  7. Re:Who cares? on Can Wolfram Alpha Tell Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl? · · Score: 1

    This is nice and all ( a league that excludes men). But I still feel if the NWFA had a quarter back or kicker that would light up the NFL, they would hire her. I think you will find men are simply better at football then woman. More power more explosive, plus in American culture men are more exposed to football in their youth then girls. I recall a woman did go to the NFL trails to attempt to be a kicker a couple of years ago and her effort was very poor. I think she had a bad day, but no one would have hired on that performance.

  8. Re:Who cares? on Can Wolfram Alpha Tell Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl? · · Score: 0

    Are woman excluded? I mean if there is a woman that is good enough do you think the NFL would not recruit her?

  10. Re:4K is stunning on GPUs Keep Getting Faster, But Your Eyes Can't Tell · · Score: 1

    Most 4k display I have seen in store have had the contrast level turned up so high the picture looks terrible. If that is the best they can do I think I stick with my high end Plasma. I can see the detail but the colour reproduction is just not good enough IMO

  15. Re:and this is how... on Zuckerberg Made Instagram Deal Alone · · Score: 0

    Assuming you are in the US. Why would you want no loan??? I mean as long as the debt is easy to service. I have no idea why you would put more into a house then 20%. Given that interest rates are less than 4% now for a 30 year fixed loan. You should be able to invest the money and receive an average return higher then 4% over a 30year period.

    What do you use to control them? I have tried both Synergy+ and input director and I am not completely satisfied with either of them. With Synergy I had to restart the application after the PC went to sleep. With Input director it keeps giving me clipboard errors. You can suppress these but the system still pauses when this message would be displayed.
