    The Problem with Hybrids: Chevy Tahoe - $55k

    If you do the math you will see that rarely do hybrids make sense strictly from a financial point of view, meaning the extra money you spend on a hybrid buys *a lot* of gas, even at $4/gallon. Many hybrid variants of existing cars don't get Prius-like great gas mileage. Thus, I think...

    IB Secure Device

    That would be true if your system is directly connected to the internet which is a pretty uncommon and unwise thing to do these days. Even a basic $20 residential NAT router is going to keep internet probes from going anywhere (unless you explicitly configure it to forward them to your...

    IB Secure Device

    I can't tell if you are playing semantic games or are just ignorant of current buffer overflow techniques used by malware authors but I'll play along: yes, your are literally correct, at some point in the process an executable is involved since data does not execute but the infection is caused...

    IB Secure Device

    IMO If you are using your PC for anything other than trading then you should be running antivirus software. Especially if you read email from that same PC. You can get infected from non-executable attachments, PDF, JPG, DOC.

    Social Security: How can it ever get exhausted??

    What amazes me is how many people in this thread are completely clueless about what SS is and how it works. So you think they shouldn't cap it, you should pay SS on all your income and that rich folks should get multi-million monthly checks from SS when they retire? Yea, that makes a...

    If you owe money on your home, are you really a 'homeowner?'

    (1) That link about appraisal fraud is the only source that you can cite to back up your claim that all mortgages contain a provision that allows the bank to require more collateral if the home value declines? Seriously, that should tell you something. (2) You made a blanket statement. A...

    If you owe money on your home, are you really a 'homeowner?'

    You stated: "A bank does have a right to demand extra collateral on a mortgage should the house's appraised value fall below what is owed" That blanket statement is false. Period.

    If you owe money on your home, are you really a 'homeowner?'

    Why would you make stuff up when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about? Mortgages can be called when they are transferred? Yea - that definitely can happen....NOT
