It's only cool to go after white christians and if the target is southern, bonus points.
You can't say anything about Jews (even if it's true) because the media powers that be (which are subsequently jew) will label the target anti semitic and the targets career will be over. Jews that make comments about Jews (like Jackie Mason) will just get buried and not be promoted.
You can't say anything about blacks because the Jews and blacks label the target racists or bigoted. People like Bill Cosby get labeled as old and crotchety and aren't paid attention to or get media priority. Even the news fails to note race in crimes (not that it really matters) and if the perpetrator is black, the race is not mentioned. If the perpetrator is Muslim and black, only the Muslim label applies. Take note of the sniper in the DC area and the recent Ohio terrorist link.
More money is spent on inner city (media word for black) school children yet the return on investment is that fact that the US is not first in science anymore as grades and requirements for graduation are allowed to slide. I'm not anti-black at all, I lived in Atlanta for 14 years and saw how racist the black politicians are against people who are white and successful which really opened my eyes to the whole thing.
Another beef that christians have that I tend to lean towards agreement with is that Jews will try to tone down Christmas and call it `holiday` yet when it comes to Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur, those holidays should be called by their proper names.
I would pay for a pirated version is I didn't have the menu crap, FBI crap, and studio self promotion crap.
When was the last time someone put in the disc for Pirates of the Carribean 2 and wanted to wade through 3 minutes of "Register this disc" crap.
I have no problem buying discs or even plunking down over $25 for a disc but I don't want crap. I copy all my DVDs for -backup protection -convience of movie only
Linux got where it is today because code heads like us put it there irregardless of the powers that be above us. Linux is a great tool that we can shape to our needs that filled a void that wasn't there.
In that type of company, that monitor will be lost whan a new person fills an empty desk. In this case, it was a monitor laying around. It probably has no resale value at this point, only a replacement value for a failed monitor for someone else.
One of my biggest gripes is that the popups are too wordy and popups that require an answer aren't intuitively selectable. Going to green text on a white background for a "Yes, I want to" or "No, I don't" was a bad UI choice.
Retail is a dead end job. When your job is in the consumer market pushing products, it's dead end. A machine can do it just as well and with the internet today, well, there you have it. Every employee in retail is replaceable as is the food service industry. I'll pay the same price or slightly higher for an item if it's delivered to my door than visit a retail store unless I 'need it now'.
If you want to take what Circuit City offers and make it a high-end amployment scenario, then take the goods and design an environment that people will pay for in their homes like any home theatre/entertainment integrator. That would be like becoming an executive chef of a restaurant.
I think the deal is that Windows gets a cut from every machine built from specified assembly lines.
If Dell figured out how to build a new assembly line that Windows isn't a part of, there is no MS tax. It could be that all Dell systems that aren't Windows will come from one distribution center so the shipping times may add another 2 days.
I can attest that Vista only has the illusion of being faster.
I've recommended (Windows only) 2 Vista systems and told them that they had to have 2 Gigs of ram minimum. Coming from 256MB/Celron 1.8Ghz on XP, Vista seems faster.
You can negotiate on the price well below the listed price if you have cash.
The adage that you should always have a car payment should hold true and if you run your current vehicle into the ground, you should have plenty of money for a cash and carry vehicle exchange.
You can walk away spending $28,000 on a $35,000 MSRP car if you're firm and walk away. They will chase you. Especially if you wait outside then go towards your car.
So that would be $28,000 in cash or $48,000 at the end of the loan which if you paid in cash, you'd have enough money to buy another car in cash.
My neighbor paid for his car on his AMEX and didn't have to pay a transaction fee. If they slap that crap on you, walk away.
Of course, the above advice works really well in competitive markets where you have more than one manufacturer dealer in the area.
I have a 95 Civic with 155,000+ miles. 2 timing belts, 1 air conditioner, oil filter and change every 7,500 miles and new air filter every year. I also had a 93 Eclipse that lasted well over 200,000 miles but had to get a 'family' car.
I hate buying cars because they drop in value so fast. Forget getting a loan for a car beacuse you'll need devaulation (gap) insurance for that. You'll have negotiating room if (A) you pay in cash, (B) walk away. Dealers will not let you walk away from moving a car.
There was a sugar substitute in the 80's that was snatched up and never made it to market. Wasn't bitter tasting nor was it this splenda thing that is here now but a cheaper substitute.
There was also a workout device in the 60's (space race stuff but not for the space race) where one placed electrodes on the skin and achieved a real workout without the exertion. It was demoed at colleges at the time with great success, some dude with a pacemaker tried it and either got seriously hurt or died and killed the project.
Those are the 2 I know of.
Basically if it infringes on existing mega-market cartels, it will die.
IE was the only availble browser in the 5. series so if it's the only turd in the punchbowl, of course it's the best browser at the time. All Linux had was Netscape based in the 4.0 series at that time and the Mac had IE5 (Tasman Engine) which was better than the Windows counterpart. Galeon(Linux Only) was actually Netscape 5.0 in the user agent and was decent/better than IE5. IE6 was basically IE5.5 with the fixes that Mac IE5 had and better CSS support.
Once Netscape released the abysmal 6.0, it actually sparked the browser wars again. Netscape 6.2 was decent and once 7.x series was released, a better browser than IE finally hit the market.
Mozilla 1 was out which was 6 of one, half dozen of the other equal to Netscape 7.x, still much better than that crappy IE6.
Opera consistently released candidtates which were decent but nothing great. Opera 6 was neat then Netscape 7.x beat the pants off it. Opera 7 was nothing great. Opera 8 was great and Opera 9 was even better.
It's nice to be able to have many choices which wasn't the case at the turn of the century.
First of all, I listen to FUD but never really pay attention to it. Secondly, I hold the Mac and it's awake from sleep mode in less than 2 seconds as the pinnacle of what it should be. Third, I've read that Vista does this in it's RTM version. Fourth, It's a blatant lie from Microsoft or whatever review junket that spewed the lie as I've had the displeasure of having to turn off the sleep function on an 2 week old Dell as 3 and a half minutes is way too long to awake from sleep.
I already know Microsoft is crap. Normal consumers have already been past the 'fool me twice' yet Microsoft can still get away with peddling crap so they continue to do it.

Come on, in the restaurant business, for every one that complains, there are 10 that don't. 3 of the 10 never come back.
This is horrible on Intuit's part.
You're part of my generation. In my day, we used to play dodge ball too and if you were the last kid picked for a team, you didn't cry about it.

$1,000 per project is not a lot of money at all.

3.11 to be exact then it'll take until 4.5 to be really good.

Move to Arizona or Hawaii.
Even according to your link, there is only power every 4th row after 15 on AA.
Corn syrup and byproducts are in everything just as much as petroleum products are everywhere.
Face it, we exist on dollops of petroleum and corn daily.
Technology in its form today wouldn't exist without oil and our mass produced food is a result of corn products or corn fed animals.
My concern is what the northern citizenry do for heating in the winter.

Excelent point. Maybe we can get rid of thie Ebonics thing once and for all.
California not only recognized it as a primary language for blacks but tried to teach it as well.
The only way you end up poor is by giving goods and services away.
Likewise, there are ideologies that sound attractive in most or all political parties, just not 100% of a particular party.
