    If this is new construction you would be a fool not to wire the house as it is built. Wireless is good but wired is always a better connection.

    It all depends on how valuable your data is to you. photos of the dog humping your leg may not be worth the expense, but the research project you have been working on for over two years may be worth it.

    My point was Jesus was tortured and killed on a Friday and one of the thirteen betrayed him. We Catholics at least not only celebrate the resurection but we also observe it through lent, Palm Sunday, with the re-enactment of the crucifiction, and attending mass on good Friday, reflect personally about what our lord and savior did for us.

    The resurection is the high point, not the torture and death.

    I'll help you out then Country: Bhutan Job Sector: Advertising Doomsayers: You Now isn't that silly. Kind of like your inability to understand that job markets change. I don't like that jobs are going offshore, but thats what happens in a capitalist society, businesses control their own business. They also have to deal with the fallout from their actions. I aways ask perspective business partners and vendors if they or their sub-contractors use offshoring for any part of their business. We do this because we want legal recourse if any of our data is stolen or misused. Will the jobs come back? Not all of them, but as long as the US remains capitalist new businesses will be created, other businesses expand, and new oportunities emerge.

    Shortsided? Didn't the 1980's already happen 20 years ago? Since the US has had recessions and recovories. The makeup of the job market changes over time. In twenty years it will be another country, another job sector, and another bunch of doomsayers. I worked in the manufacturing sector(which I witnessed tanking well before Clinton left office)building CNC lathes (machine tool companies are the first to get hit by a recession). I was laid-off and went back to college, again, to get another degree to work in the IT sector. I was able to get a job before graduating. I was lucky to get the offer and willing to start for far less money then most IT workers are willing to take, but it beats factory work anyday. My performance has given me very good raises that has put me past my old factory wages. I also forgot to add John Kerry to the list of those who support offshoring. He wants US citizens to be able to purchase drugs from foriegn countries (his only proposal I support). If successful what country do you think the drug companies will start manufacturing from?

    In the 80's it was the Japenese and Germans beating the US in manufacturing, and people were claiming that we were doomed to become a third world nation. The US economic system kept going. Offshoring tech jobs will not lead to the economic disaster liberals are waiting for. Besides it must be good, George Soros' companies made millions consulting US companies on moving jobs offshore.

    Since when is having morals anything to do with religion? I would like to think that even athiests have some sort of morality. Most churches have weekly bingo and some have casino nights. Your religous argument is bunk. As for not being able to use credit cards for gambling, have you ever heard of cash advances? The proceeds still can be used for gambling. We all pay for gambling in the end. Those that run up debt that can't be repaid due to the fact that there is no money left after gamling it all away, not pay their debts in the end, but someone does. I work at a small bank and I see what happens when someone stops or can't pay. The debt is absorbed by the bank which in turn is paid for by other customers. It is the risk of doing business, but trying to prevent someone from falling into a downward spiral at the beginning is a lot easier than picking up the pieces in the end. By the way age does not make you an adult I have seen this first hand as i also worked in a factory.
