Why anyone would volunteer for diplomatic or contract work in Iraq is beyond me. I heard that one of the Americans killed was making 102k a year doing some sort of work on the water system. Nuts. Nana...I know you are from Iran. I don't blame you one bit for hanging out in Bangkok. I am sure...

Are you using the latest build (636a)? They changed a few things with the Data Manager port set up app. Maybe you could share more details about the "charts not updating". Rather vague. I have been using eSignal for about 4 years with no big problems. Once in a while I manage to log onto...

True. Rather like the problems the Romans had when they traveled around conquering countries. Ok, lets approach it a different way. What is your broad solution for the WHOLE middle east situation. Israel, Iraq, Afganistan, Bin Laden, Saudi Arabia, etc. How do we make friends and make...

Yes, this is almost the exact words Bin Lauden has used describing his "holy war". This IS what we are up against. No Marcus of Queensbury rules...on either side now. Kill the rats. All of them.

In my mind it is more like two Iraqi men with an RPG run away from the troops chasing them. They run into a school/home/hospital like the chicken shit rats they are. The ground troops call for air support, an Apache gunship shows up and levels the place. Iraqis the next day show women and...

For you to "paint them" as possible innocent farmers is a bias. You have absolutely no idea what the situation surrounding them was. This could have been a war zone area, those could have been military trucks. I have no idea. War is a very ugly thing. This war is especially ugly. This enemy...

Loved it! :-) Thanks for sharing....a "must see"! Beats video games hands down!

Actually...not many baseball bats are made of Oak. Sometimes trophy bats are though since golden oak bats are handsome and look nice in a display case. Most real baseball bats are Northern White Ask, Rock Maple, or Hickory. Occasionally Cherry wood, but that is almost as rare as Oak. The real...

Ok, they discontinued the fajitas. What was in it anyway? Tortilla, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes? Everything else on their menu has the same ingredients...think about it. Then throw a dart, pick anything, and bon appetit baby! P.S. One of my previous co-workers absolute favorite casual...

Very good words, my thoughts exactly. There is so much red hot stupid money chasing things these days, real estate, oil, stocks (look at the run of MAMA or MAGS) things are going to get very ugly when the music stops. And the music WILL stop. "Greenspan might be wise to take a lesson out...

Many many people would fall for such an e-mail....but we of course know Microsoft NEVER sends out updates by e-mail.

How about Art Center College in Pasadena? http://www.artcenter.edu/ They do some VERY cool stuff....they graduate top automobile designers and all sorts of other industrial designers...practical stuff.

From what I understand (second hand) it is harder and harder to get into UCLA as an endless number of potential students compete for fewer and fewer slots. In my wife's dept, there is a student worker that helps out with things. My wife has befriended her and has told me how impressed she is...

My wife works at UCLA, and when I walk around the campus with her just about EVERYONE looks asian. They do what it takes to get the test scores to get in. I have a Korean friend. His children are young, like 5th grade and 8th grade. He pays a math tutor to come to his home twice a week to...

This "enemy" loves this sort of press attention. They do not wear uniforms, they hide among women, children, the elderly...in schools, hospitals, and residential areas. They are like the most vile rats, crawling around in the dead of night spreading their disease of hate and planting bombs...

To crackdown on porn would be quite a blow to suburban Los Angeles. Porn is a HUGE multi-billion dollar industry employing thousands, based almost entirely in the San Fernando Valley outside Los Angeles. Ashcroft would have quite a fight on his hands, they would sue his ass and keep it in...

My sister-in-law owns a house in Norco right in that area. When we are getting close to her home, we can see a layer of yellow-brown haze like fog for miles around that area (some sort of industrial strength smog). Everything from Los Angeles apparently blows out that way and sits like a...

Very true about not really "high end". In the spirit of the thread I was going for one of their "specials". Probably would be more suited for a student or casual user. Cyberpower can do the thing with spec branded raid drives and memory, Thermaltake power supplies, bigger server cases, along...

I certainly agree with that...I was born here and live here too. I am in a typical situation where I could not afford to buy the house I live in if I had to buy it today. My county had a 31% appreciation in the last 12 months, and over 20% the year before that. The population in the same time...

Gosh...that 300k house sure looks nice. In my area (Ventura, California) that house would go for about 1 million. The humidity of Florida would kill me, but maybe I could install a massive de-humidifier into the air conditioning system! If the prices continue to increase in California and the...
