    Slow refresh on monitor

    It sounds like you have a driver problem. It might be something you simply cannot fix, too, because some video cards do not play together nicely. I had two nVidia cards that hated each other.

    Cost of building a house

    You probably couldn't be your own general contractor and build a house cheaper than a professional home builder, not to mention, open lots with utilities, roads and local amenities are not cheap. Besides, just like they say, it's all about location. In extreme examples, buyers will bulldoze...

    1 trillion dollars in context

    The $ amount for each tax bracket will not change to reflect inflation, and the minimum wage, also not adjusted for inflation, will be half what it is today. People will look back on the "good old days," when households only needed two incomes to pay the rent.

    California....what happened?

    Their tax base took a huge hit. If you haven't noticed, the whole world is in a financial mess. Since California is just a state, it cannot print money to pay its obligations and it appears it cannot wait for its tax base to recover with the world economy. California will be another federal...

    Spelling and Trading

    For God's sake, have you ever read a book? You can't pick up simple sentence structure from just reading? People don't expect your prose to resemble Ernest Hemingway's writing—it's just a bulletin board after all—but is it too much to ask for the very basics? Don't get me wrong. I'm...

    Why I stole an old movie from library, despite being upper middle class

    I was wondering, since you obviously plan to continue posting 20 or 30 times a day, will all your posts be written like an eighth grader high on paint fumes? I mean... why not write one or two ... or maybe three words per sentence, skip punctuation and double...

    Could this be the beginning of the end of Fractional Reserve Lending??? A major .....

    And if we go away from fractional reserve lending, what will replace it? Full reserve banking? Get real. Why don't we just carry around little satchels of gold and pay for merchandise and service with gold shavings? That's sure to fix the banking system—move it back 1000 years.

    Canada lost 129000 jobs

    Does anyone find it interesting that Canada lost twice as many jobs as the U.S. per capita? Perhaps the U.S. job report is inaccurate or massaged, as some suggest, or maybe Canada is in worse shape than previously reported. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123397120060659369.html...

    Why is Michigan not bankrupt with double digit unemployment?

    There was a movie, I can't remember the name of it now, where the king of England said the only problem with Scotland is it's full of Scots. Well, that's the problem with Texas. It's full of Texans. (Just joking, Texans. Please do not cyberstalk me. George Bush rocks.)

    IMF Says Advanced Nations Already In Depression & Worst Is Yet To Come

    Maybe. The system is reliant on confidence, and investors around the world probably needed to see the U.S. government do something, anything, even if the actual benefits were less than the perceived benefits. That's why, despite his critics, Alan Greenspan was effective. The man inspired...

    Bear Rally/Short Squeeze

    Investors buying puts as cheap insurance over the weekend. If they're long stock and something major happens over the weekend, their profits are covered. If the market rallies again Monday and Tuesday, VIX will drop significantly compared to Thursday and Friday (dropped 0.46 in 2 days I think?).
