    Programmer Question

    I have had mixed reactions with the Rent-A-Coder site. The more complex the program, seemingly the less satisfied I have been with the work. It's a pig-n-a-poke kind of thing. I've had several things done there. Logo designs, SQL project, MySQL project, and several specialty applications. While...

    Foreclosures Rise 158% from May 2007

    I have enjoyed my rental status in both Chicago and Dallas through all these gyrations of the real estate market. The land holding that I have (Dallas) has appreciated just a tad, but I was well within my cash positions and have very little financing on it. Both of my rentals are live/work lofts...

    Obama denies any video showing Michelle 'whitey' rant...

    We control several positions of self-finance. And those of us who do, are not looking for acknowledgement/approval in the light of media or awards banquets. A majority of my friends and associates have stocks, live well (within their finances), and are expanding their sphere of influences and...

    Obama denies any video showing Michelle 'whitey' rant...

    Did you perchance misread my post? I don't think the question of "drive away" is in keeping with my statement. However, it does tend to drive away folks who are generally able to truly help and/or make a difference. The bloat of government intervention in many aspects is not worth the (private)...

    You Only Need $5000 to Make a Living

    These explainations fit extremely well with my personal trading logic. I tied my trading self to my playing baseball. I still dabble with competitive softball. I'm a leadoff batter, over 45. I don't have the strength or desire to consistenly drive the long ball, and I've accepted that. So for...

    Foreclosures Rise 158% from May 2007

    I think several factors are glossed over with this bit of information. I see it as many folks were inticed into things that they could not truly afford. Many people purchase the most they could for their money rather than the most they should be able to afford. Instead of trying to get the...

    Obama denies any video showing Michelle 'whitey' rant...

    Not only do we have control of many things, many actively look to level the playing field and get back at all the years of slanting against us. Undeniable instances where we immediately call companies and individuals and tout that submissions need to be made so things can be steered their way...

    The "Accusation of Racism" is a perception of a systematic denial or rights based on the color of the perpetrator's skin color. The only people in this country with the power to effectively do this are people of color. As an African American male, I would tell you that abuse of this concept...

    Big Brown Goes Down the Toilet

    I've been playing the ponies for over twenty years (not as much the last five), and I do think this will come down to Roids. Once that gate opened, I do have to say he didn't look like himself. Combine that with the other jockey's pinning him in early and never letting him clear into second...

    Big Brown Goes Down the Toilet

    Hmm, I don't know why I didn't pop over to Elite to sing out. Even though I was on the road visiting friends I suppose I could have looked over here to see if there was a thread. I know I didn't speak out at the OTB because I wasn't interested in having anyone change our return. We practice...

    Big Brown Goes Down the Toilet

    The winner paid very well. As the racehorses hit the top of the stretch, the OTB that I was at was dead quiet in the Big Brown gallery. Meanwhile I and my buddy cheered the winner (Da' Tara) across the line. We had several folks challenge our validity until we walked over to the window to cash...

    Hollyfield broke

    An idiot with money is still an idiot! I personally know many retired professional athletes who should be set for life, and yet that's not the case. Boxing, basketball and football, I've got horror storries from each on a first-hand basis. :)

    I think I might have to grab a copy of that one myself. :)

    NBA Playoffs

    Back in the day, the survey would have been jumpin'. Now, it's much adue about nothing. The NBA is looming for a slow, painful death. It will bounce along for a few more years just from the sheer mass of money on the court. But the game, is no longer the game. Loose rule implementation once...

    new computer

    That's a nice nuclear reactor you're getting there (giggle). All you're missing is a good joystick (get your minds out of the gutter!) and soundcard. Break out an old copy of Doom II & III for old times. :)

    Server or PC?

    As a hardware guy (Dell, HP & now some Sun) for over 18 years, I'd tell you that you would do much better getting a multi-processor machine for now. I also would tell you that you might stick with the dual core product line again, for now. For any trading products that you are probably going to...

    Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

    Many of my friends and associates are looking long term with the UNDERSTANDING that should he happen to lose this time either as party nominee or as candidate, he'll be an automatic on the next go around. There's also a major expectation in the African American community that the party might...

    Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

    You have spelled it out nicely. The days of blind support of political parties are coming to an adjustment period. Not an end, just an adjustment. :)
