    the 7900 and 7800 are different models in the same generation (there are also the 7600 and 7300), and the 6600 and 6800 are in the 2nd generation, so 3rd generation would be the fx line.

    I don't think a DVI to VGA adaptor is a good example. I can get one of those for less than 5 dollars, most graphics cards that are dvi come with a vga adaptor.

    Yes... considering the lack of trust I put in banks/credit card companies not to screw up and give away their online databases, I don't use internet banking. The first bank to force me to is the first that won't have my business any longer.
    If a bank or credit card screws up and gives away part of its database, it won't matter if you did your banking online or not, it is still the same database.

    DEA Raids Medical Marijuana Dispensaries SAN DIEGO -- Raids began Monday afternoon against several medical marijuana dispensaries in San Diego. Authorities swooped down on locations where pot is sold in violation of federal law, which is at odds with state law. Federal law supercedes state law, and the debate over using marijuana to combat pain has reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Ten states allow it, including California, but the high court ruled this summer that the government can prosecute seriously ill patients who smoke pot.

    I also lived on a diet like what the other 2 people responded with. Problem was, I went from 190lbs to 150lbs over the course of half a year eating about 3000 calories a day. (and I'm 6'3") Pancakes, waffles, grits, and oatmeal are also extremely cheap if you are sick of rice.
