Except now they're in the 28% tax bracket for making $90,750 > x > 189,300 So they at least owe $21,071

Did anyone have Stephen King's novel The Wasteland screaming at them when they read the title? For those uninformed, Blaine the Mono, in the particular cabin the protagonists were in had a "projected" view. Every wall [including floor and ceiling] were just big screens, that had the possibility to project the outside, the Taj Ma Hall, or the inside of your colon. I wonder if big LCDs would be cheaper than researching all of this new technology. This would also give the ability to... you know, turn it off [or turn on a nicer looking scene for those afraid of super-earth].

The last thing to fail was my BFG video card. I read the Slashdot story on their refusal-to-RMA, the day after I filed for an RMA. Received the liquidation email one week later.

I love my new ZOTAC card. Reminds me, I need to fill out the rebate form.

Thank you Broadcom! I've been waiting for this to finally happen. I will admit, I'm not happy with the present state of the 'wl' drivers, and this will at least create potential for others to improve on it. Thank you! :D [any chance of the bluetooth drivers too? I have one of the cheap dongles.... that needs *NIX support. :D]

I wasn't ten at the time, but I bought a big box of smoke bombs, and rolled them in the road at cars. Well, my eyes were also bad (and no glasses). And I couldn't see the next car coming was a cop car. Needless to say, I threw the smoke bomb into the road. Stern reprimand since I was so young, I suppose.

I'm a student of the New York public school curriculum (11th grade), and I can safely say that we also do not invest time in such silly fantasies as Newton- in history class (Physics and Pre-calculus have mentioned him for the sake of history). We do not learn many "advances of military technology" that have influence on US politics (though in state curriculum, the Maxim Machine Gun, and nuclear weapon breakthroughs are mentioned). We've also learned more about General Lee or "Stonewall" Jackson (for those uninformed, Confederate war-time heroes), than we have about Grant. "Thomas Jefferson wrote the Decleration of Independance" is the extent of our study on one of our country's fathers. So Texas is going from what may have been a good curriculum to the New York State curriculum. And stop with the "false history" crap! It is in fact, true history. They are not creating facts, they're emphasizing certain ones more than others. [Note: All but the first line aren't directed at you parent poster, this was just the hole I creept into to say this] Cheers.

Why have we NOT mentioned Code::Blocks, a full C/++ editor? Exactly what the poster is asking for. Also includes support for wxwidgets (gui making stuff, cross platform, can be statically compiled). Plenty of plugins. I've used it, and it works great! http://www.codeblocks.org/
