Toshiba's used to be quite resilient, how do they fare overall today?

I'm interested in a notebook and have fond memories of the last Toshiba I owned. Are they worth it these days?

Do you really want a flat tax?

Scarcity of resource, in this case a particular skill or credential, is what creates value. You suggest that if "one" isn't pleased with their lot in life, then "one" should simply drop what they're doing and pursue self enrichment through education and training. You can't claim "one" isn't...

Do you really want a flat tax?

Well if the homeowner doesn't have to worry about the added financial burden of a $1k+ house note then big deal if they can't "claim" it because they're not burdened as much to begin w/. Besides, don't get me mistaken, I'm not in any in support of a flat tax unless it were applied to net income...

Do you really want a flat tax?

Say you've got a guy who makes 30k /year, and monthly brings in $2500 gross. Now instead of taxing this mans gross income, whaty would happen if you instead taxed his net after adjusting for only the most necessary and unavoidable of expenditures? This man has a rent he must pay worth $650/mo...

Bush Sees Need for Reorganizing U.S. Intelligence

I see it differently. Call it a "half-empty half-full" sort of perspective, but I think for a man of such ego it speaks volumes for Clarke to put 30 years of experience in counter-terrorism and related policy development on the chopping block like he has. I can sort of understand how you...

Gen. Abizaid seeks more combat troops

Hell yeah we need more people there, I find it irresponsible to be spreading the military so thin in Iraq. The army was just told they may be facing an extension past the one year mark on their deployments, and I find that rediculous. Sure we want everyone to come home safely, but we...

Draft coming right after election??

Good choice on the AF Genesys, any idea what job/afsc you're going for? If I can offer some friendly advice, do not be a cop (Security Forces.) They are treated like the absolute scum of the AF. Pretty much anything else and you're golden but DO NOT be a cop. Asfor the draft, I'd be migthy...

Kick him while he's down . . . Rush has a lot of expenses that cost just a tad under $10K

I suspect it's kind of like RICO, used totally out of context for what is hopefully an equally defendable purpose. Think about it, Rush was deliberately dodging the $10k cap so he wouldn't send up warning flags pointing to his drug habit. There was an overt routine he operated by, why not just...

I thought the issue was how it isillegal to routinely make numerous transactions directly below the $10k cap. The number of transactions reported seem numerous, and everyone of them were right below $10k. It's seems entirely irrelevant how much the man earns, what is eating habits are...

I don't believe this one: Perle Says Iraq Invasion Was Illegal

Either he must be incredibly stupid, or perhaps he's the srouce of the white house leaks? I'll be damned if ONE of them actually has a conscience! :)
