On the other hand, if they were smart they would have created the whole set in the holodeck to begin with. Then they wouldn't have the problem of where to shove all this crap.

Agreed. Obama comes across as a nice guy and for the little people. Problem is it's turning out that he isn't a leader. Can't get anything done.

Take Reagan or Bush. Love them or hate them, they were leaders. Right or wrong, they got dam near anything they wanted. Obama needs to learn how to lead.

Well it is nothing more than a laptop on a stand with no cover. However they do use full size drives. I know, I had to replace mine. I found it quite interesting that they used duct tape and glue to hold it together. (imac 20 intel)

Thing is, refurbing an old building is generally cheaper than even a run down strip mall. You'd be hard pressed to find one that rents for under 2 or 3k a month. That's why most chains go so far as to build their own new buildings. The mortgage is less than the rent they would pay. And if it doesn't work out they can sell the building.

Yeah it was part time until it started to pay well. Then those with no skills whatsoever noticed and said... "hmmm... any idiot can do that. I'm in!"

I hear ya, but the keyword here is many. Not most. If all you have is an electric and you want to vacation a few hundred miles away.... you need a really big lunch. Or a second gas car. It's range + recharge time. IMHO, they aren't ready for prime time. (yet!)

The problem with the electric car is range. No one wants any vehicle they can use for 100 miles or so and then have to park it overnight to "fill up"/recharge. If they can figure out a way to get generators built in to recharge the batteries or even power the car itself... problem(s) solved.

I love it. IBM sells Lenovo to china. China decides to come back to the states and build here and people scream. Yet most of the screamers drive a toyota or nissan or volkswagen and have no qualms about supporting these foreign companies. Because... they have factories in the US? Or do they really believe they're US companies?

What am I missing here? You can open 2 versions of IE and that's confusing? When was it ever possible NOT to open more than one version?

Wow. They started using sugar in food again? I must have missed that bulletin.

Adobe started the "rent" thing a couple years ago. I guess it works IF you need to upgrade all the time. But if you feel you can skip an upgrade you're SOL.

Now, instead of using a half dozen smaller drives you can use just one. And when it dies you can lose everything at once. No screwing around losing bits and pieces of your files.

Seriously hottie got my attention. Got an address?

Actually, they retracted that...

For a $15 fee.

Yeah keyboards today seem to have the build quality of chewing gum and bailing wire. Then again, a "normal" board runs around $25 today. I guess you get what you pay for.

I'd have no problem going the $100 "ish" for a mechanical board but I also like the ergonomic boards. And I've never seen a mechanical ergonomic board.
