Be sure to talk to a professional tax accountant/lawyer/person before you start deducting everyting you can think of. Some things can't be used, others have catches (like a home office when you sell your house).
I purchased my condo for $120K three years ago. Today, it is worth $160K.
I owe $113K.
That there is a $43K difference. Sounds like a good investment to me. The thing about real estate in that it tends to go up in value. It may go down for a little while, but it always goes back up. There is, after all, only so much land [that people want] to go arround.
At least this might cut down on the number of retards that keep claiming that "downloading copyrighted files is illegal" (So downloading a Redhat ISO is illegal then?)
I think that you are in denial. You can download a RedHat iso legally because RadHat says you can. Downloading an mp3 (or whatever) of a piece of music that is owned by someone else, who hasn't given you permission to download it, is copyright infringment. I'm sorry you don't like it, but that's the way it is.
Now don't get me wrong, I think that the RIAA and familly suck, but that doesn't change the fact that they own the copyright to the music and they don't want you to download it.
and then, since I have a brain, when I saw that my google search brought up info about a web browser, i would have ammended my search to "firebird 1.5 installer database" and hit paydirt.
You have a brain. Use it.

I guess that I am lucky. The local company that I use allows me to run any services (except for streaming audio/video) that I want on my DSL line (640/320 w/static IP for $85/month) so long as it isn't for commercial gain and doesn't take up more than average amounts of traffic. Of course, since they don't define average traffic. . .
I run a mail server, web server, ssh server and I NAT my internal network. I've never had any problems with them.
Imagine if the Green movement had been around when the car was invented - ' NO, it pollutes, we can't have it'. We'd all be stinking of BO, and living in trees
Actually, electric vehicles where invented between 1832 and 1839 (the exact year is uncertain) and up to around 1900, electric land vehicles in America outsold all other types of cars.
Battery technology just didn't advance as fast as internal combustion technology.
Maybe if there where a bunch of environmentalists screaming about how dirty the gas powered cars were, history would have taken a different turn and we'd all be driving electric cars now (and be getting really good battery life for everything else too).
And it's very true, would YOU expect your DVD player NOT to play your CDs? Not me.
Maybe you'd expect your DVD player to play your CD's, but you wouldn't expect it to play your 8-tracks or LP's would you?
Now I'm not saying that backward compatible is bad, just that at some point you have cut the ties to that past and start over.
I think that this is a good move on AMD's part. They are going to sell a lot of chips during the general move from 32bit to 64bit, I just hope that they are also planning an Intel compatible 64bit chip for the future.
For me it's not about supporting the OSS project or not. It's about the fact that ads are everywhere. I can't escape it.
They're on TV, which is fine, I can deal with that; I've got a mute button. They're on the radio, which isn't fine, so I don't listen to the radio. They're on billboards and park benches and on the sides of busses and on top of taxi-cabs, all of which suck cause I can't NOT see them just walking down the street. They're in my inbox and on my favorite web-sites, which really sucks. No matter how much filtering I do, some still get through. They're crammed into my magazines and newspapers. I pay for them, yet they're still more ads than content. They're starting to put them at the begining of my DVD's! I can fast-fwd through them now, but how long till I can't? They're in my (physical) mailbox and on my telephone and comming out of my fax machine! They're under the friggin ice at my nephew's hockey games. What's worse is they are also on the back of his jersey! They're in the names of stadiums now: Qualcomm Staduim, 3Com Park. Does this really sell more phones or nics? They're being SMS'ed into my cell phone and I get charged for each one! Don't forget about the 7-up half-time show.
There are too many ads, in too many places. I'm getting pretty damn sick of it.

I can now see at 20/15, better than I ever could before.
Honestly, it's been the best $2K I've ever spent.
I wish that they wouldn't support Palladium, but it looks like they will.
What did you do when the year turned to sh*t again? (Buy an 8080 based machine for improved performance and memory capability?)
Then cough up the 5 bucks per month for a subscription, and vote to have them work on Quicken.
I doubt many of them would care about either one and just take the food.

I'd love a copy. Post a link, if you'd be so kind!

He may have been talking about turkey feathers not making electrons fly, not whether or not turkey's can fly.
But it could make a 20 minute phone call. . .
Don't forget that in their version of Need for Speed, the fastest cars/trucks will all be toyota's.
They gave me a cool game for free AND look how fast their cars are! I gotta go get me one of those!
It's only a matter of time.
It's been fixed in Ximian Gnome. I can only assume that the fix would make it into Gnome2.
But then, what the hell do I know?
I'm willing to bet that Gentoo will have it ready quite soon. . . Or at least I hope!
One possible solution to this is to find a web store that will put your components (or at least the MB, RAM, and CPU) together and test it out.
Unfortunately I cannot think of a store that does this, but I have seen them.
How about Pepsi paying for the abuser to talk about how much he likes Coke?
