The United States is perfectly capable of producing all goods with the exception of oil.
But there is no reason to produce goods in the US because labor costs are so high compared to the near slave wages that we can pay foreigners.
Now oil is another thing entirely, we can't make it, we do need it, and the people who have it are mostly organized.
The chaos in Iraq is in the United States best interest, if the oil coming from that country was a fair price! No I don't think invading for oil is a good idea, but hell it's already happened why not try to get something good out of it?
Forget Global Warming, I'm more afraid that OPEC is going to cut the supply drastically when they realize that they don't actually have that much oil left.
The oil will not run out anytime soon, the relatively environmentally friendly liquid oil will run out soon, but then there are the Canadian oil sands, which unfortunately utilize 1/5th of the available oil to extract the oil from the sand. And thus burn 1/5th more oil.
If you want to stop using oil because it's going to run out... find a better reason like the crazy places we get it from...
You pointed out the problem with filing an an independent in your post.
If you file as an independent (ie not dependent on your parents) then you get more financial aid from the government.
Your parents cannot claim you as a dependent on their tax returns now though, which in most cases will end up costing them more than you are going to get in financial aid.
And for everyone thinking that you can do both... don't it's a federal felony to lie on your taxes.
When they couldn't get Al Capone for murder they got him for tax fraud and he was sentenced to eleven years in Federal prison.
Well in my experience roughly 1% of the people who use MSN know anything about computer, they're the ones who don't wana trade pix labeled "HOT BOD.src"

That is precisely what I mean.
There is absolutely no good reason to increase the complexity of the internet protocol.
IPv4 is tested and issues with it have been identified and fixed in most implementations.
The only problem which cannot be increased in the implementation is the limitation on the number of octets used for the address space.
So why not simply increase the number of octets!
Why not just increase the address space for IPv4?
Hell call it IPv4.1
Y2K was a bug which was easily solved. This is an infrastructure defect which has an available, but expensive, solution.
It will be expensive to make a major shift to IPv6, which is why it's taking so long.
Until the complete exhaustion of all IPv4 addresses is an immanent threat the change will not happen, much like Y2K.

In case anybody was interested in the free credit reports, you can get a free report annually.
In fact the three "consumer reporting companies" are required by law to give you a free credit report annually.
The commercials he is referring to are for http://freecreditreport.com/ which is free for the first 30 days.
More information from the Federal Trade Commission. Free annual credit reports from http://www.annualcreditreport.com/.
BECAUSE ITS CHEAPER.

The US needs the rest of the world just as much as they need us?
NO. We need them to manufacture cheap goods and to reduce labor costs to near slave wages.
Now is that really very important? I didn't think so
The United States pharmaceutical industry has produced nearly all of the major drugs used in the ENTIRE world.
Computer systems and cheap jobs are more than life saving drugs? PLEASE
I know several people who talk wear blue tooth headsets around with them everywhere.
They will start talking to someone who calls them without a word to you.
I think they could do with a brain implant.

I knew someone was going to reply with that. I live in a major US city.
It should be noted though that the current planning code calls for just ONE parking space per unit (family).
So the city expects that every house will have just one vehicle.
If everybody on my block had two cars I would invest in a wrecker (tow truck).
There simply isn't enough room for each house to have more than one car.
I believe he was referring to storing off peak power from the grid, and not from the solar panels.
Which makes perfect sense, cheaper and collected at the time when solar panels cannot produce current.
As I peer into my crystal ball I see through the fog .... Sprint-Nextel
ooooh scary.
Very cool.

I for one never signed that.
I seriously doubt they signed it either.
The Internet was designed originally as a means of communication in the event of nuclear war.
What does it say that Internet2 is defeated by a homeless guy with a cigarette?
I feel a bull fight coming on....
Lots and lots of expensive ads.

Don't mess with the IRS!
The federal government uses SSN for federal student financial aid for one simple reason, they only want to give it to legal residents!
DUH!
He could easily just say that he was acting as an ISP and was breaking the TOS with his ISP.
What're they going to do?
