    I Am Legend Remake

    I have always been a fan of the horror and science fiction genres, both in film and literature. I am usually critical whenever Hollywood tries to adapt great books into movies. Most of the time, the results are not very pretty. However, I was very excited to learn that there was going to be...

    How to promote web site?

    It may be cost prohibitive to use google adwords for such a site. Conversion rates are very low. By that, I mean the ratio of sales compared to click-throughs. Your friend could spend a lot of money and end up frustrated. It is probably best to simply try to get low cost or even free...

    How to promote web site?

    It really depends. If your friend is running a commercial website where he will sell artwork, you might want to consider Google Adwords and other PTC search engines. If it is more like a personal website, you are very limited. You might want to consider link exchanges with other similar websites.

    Yeah, the 1960s generation is the most selfish generation in American history. They were given more than any generation before them and squandered everything. These are the same assholes who stayed high and never got a job before they were 35, yet bitch because kids today smoke a little pot...

    WHO: Bird flu bigger challenge than AIDS?

    No, this is not 'our war'

    I wish Buchanan was electable. As Z10 said, he seems to genuinely care about the country and what is in the best interests of the nation. While I am socially more liberal than Buchanan, he is one of the few political commentators I actually respect. He does not just tell people what they wish...

    TheOpenFund L.P - Anyone ever heard of them?

    The scary part is the last sentence. "ALSO, HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WITH $10K IN CAPITAL THAT HAVE SCORED OVER 750 ON THE SAT 1 ARE ALSO CONSIDERED. " I wouldn't trust them. Just because they require more money does not make them legit.

    Investment VS Debt

    What about education? If a person gets into medical school, should they not go because they will incur a debt of 150 - 200k even though this will pay for itself many times over in the long run? The same goes for business too. I just think your view is too simplistic. The reason the american...

    Exactly. As a registered rep, you are a salesperson. Your goal is to produce sales. If you fail to produce this, you will be terminated by the company. That is the situation with all these companies, such as Merril Lynch, Edward Jones, etc.. They would much rather recruit a good used car...
