There is nothing more educational than name calling and throwing insults. Good thing this is not face to face. I would not want to have somebody stomp my head. I am sure this is what the Founding fathers meant when they spoke of having a healthy discourse. I am all for exchanging ideas but will...

Are you aware how much it takes to run for the office? Who do you think have the resources to give money so that one could run for an office? Do you really think that if a corporation provide you with $$$ they will want nothing in return? Why because they love democracy? What do you think all...

Price of chicken in Norway for 1 kg (around 2 pounds of it): 30 KO = $5. So the pound would be around 2.50 to 3 greebacks a pound. Last time I checked my Pathmark was charging around $2 per pound. Is the difference that much? It comes to 30% but it comes without all that nasty stuff our chicken...

Many countries with oil have a large GDP % coming from oil. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria are perfect examples. Yet most do not have the standard of living comparable to Norway and rely on cheap labor to sustain growth and high standard of living for the select few. There are other coubtries...

Ask yourself why nothing has been done about illegals? We had 3 Republican Presidents in the last 30 years. Perhaps becasue it is good for the busienss? The solution is very simple: create an enforcement system where for each illegal employed the penalty is $100K fine. Nobody would hire them and...

Statoil, created by the merger of Statoil and Norsk Hydro in October 2007, is 67-percent-owned by the Norwegian government and controls 80 percent of Norway's oil and gas production. State-owned Petoro administers these ownership interests and manages the production licenses and companies...

The easiest way would be to call Norwegian embassy. Also I am sure if you research it, you will get the answers. Visiting the place could also open eyes.

1. Falling standards of living for all but the rich. 2. Unemployment above 10%. 3. Slow but steady loss of manufacturing jobs to Asia and Mexico taking away good paying union jobs. 4. Less and less union jobs that traditionally offered the most protection against the abuses of employers. 5...

14 active and 24 no longer posting out of this particular thread. Like I said it is a tough game.

Many are out of the game or have changed their alias. This is a tough game and few survive for a long time. -20K (50 contracts on $35K account) - kamikaze years +40K (16 cars on a 150K account) - could not sleep that night and did not tell my wife about it. I guess I did not want to jinx...

Most people with set ups where 8 monitors is the center piece do not last long enough to feel the pain. There must be a reason why a lot of people are either wearing glasses, use contact lens or have done the operation. I doubt it is from looking at the clouds and spending too much time looking...

Several things to consider: 1. Germany lost a lot of its manpower because of WW2. 2. East Prussia, Silesia, and the Baltic coast all the way to Stettin was taken over by Poland. 3. Most of the industrial capacity was severely reduced. 4. Many with shady past had to leave for Argentina...

Those who have never been to Europe just do not get it. Six weeks vacations is like science fiction in the states.

get 27" from Viewsonic (@$350). They come with full 3y/w. or if $$ is tight - get hans G 27" - $250. No matter what you get in what size, 4 monitors will make your eyes scream in 5 years. One monitor max 2 will work just as well. Ask those who have been doing it for a while (lescor, AustinP...

I think it is a lot more important how the market is going to get to either 1000 or 1200. Directional and you can make some decent gains, chop and we all got a problem.

What HD will Dell Dimension 8250 accept (built in 2003)? IDE?

I think it is hard to image giving up so much $$$$ for regular folk who frequent ET. Most think that money in itself is IT and cannot understand people like Gates and many before him who after achieving billions decided to spend it on something worthwhile. Perhaps after all the glitz, cars...
