ParticipantCandidates Certification Exam should be paired with Voters Certification Exam, multiple choice ok. Actually, Voters Certification Exam alone would be more efficient than the proposed CCE.

What I would RATHER see would have someone build a system where all the cars on the roads are controlled by computers like electrons running through a computer. We already have all the technology ready to go. We have accurate digital maps, wireless networks, etc. That would make the roads work much better![/quote]Who gets sued when a glitch in the system causes a crash and wesley snipes starts killing the taggers?
ParticipantStaging on budget. The pearls and the toy truck look real.
ParticipantRight. I jus wanted to point out that the benefits are not limited to products and companies from seventies. The incubator is still operational.

These are all products of military R&D that has migrated into the commercial sector. Silicon Valley was built on Department of Defense and DARPA money; shit, huge sums still run through there (though not nearly as much as during the Cold War days).[/quote]Also, Apple Siri.
ParticipantHow is Boxee better than Roku or Apple TV?
ParticipantI kind of liked the few Ron Paul soundbites that I stumbled upon. But I find people who “speak for him”, “would take a bullet for him” (one guy on /. in particular) and who insist on prefixing the name with ‘Doctor’ to be very scary. I don’t like people who would take a bullet for A since they tend to put a bullet in B with even greater ease.

Also, I have wondered about the reliability of the LG appliances. Here in DC, Lowe’s often advertises them at very good prices. Does your laundry get heavy “family-level” use, or less? In my case, it’s primarily just my husband and I.
[/quote]We might be in top 1% of households with regards to the washer & dryer usage. Both are LG. So is our TV.
My impression is that LG has to give you more for the money due to the bad reputation they earned a decade+ ago, similar to Hyundai. We are satisfied with our LG’s and Hyundai.
Our Sony devices (digital camera, laptop and surround) and our Toyota were all more expensive ‘top of the cheap line’ products and crappy enough that I decided not to purchase anything pushed by them until the end of the decade.
I’m not Korean and it’s not my patriotic duty to push LG & Samsung.
October 31, 2011 at 12:29 PM in reply to: Help! Need advice on unexciting but essential purchase #731726ParticipantI got an LG similar to DLG2241W carried by Sears a couple of years ago. It had good reviews and we had no problems with it.
Wait until Black Friday and make sure you check Fry’s. I got mine at about 50% of the original price (which was about the same at Sears and Fry’s) and Sears would not match it.
Fry’s usually publishes their Black Friday ad on Thursday evening. They run 3-day sale Friday-Sunday with different specials every day.
ParticipantIsn’t there a non-profit that is supposed to assist the tenants?
But don’t the tenants have to pay the rent, since the new owner has to honor the current lease until it expires (or 90 days)? My impression was that in reality banks don’t collect rent because they do not want to be landlords, not because the law forces them to forfeit.
ParticipantMinneapolis. That’s where Brenda and Brandon moved from, right? It looked like a very cold place.
Participant[quote=markmax33][quote=walterwhite]Why is he so old?[/quote]
Ron Paul is probably the fittest of the candidates and challenged all the presidential contenders to join him on his 20 mile bike ride in the middle of the summer in Houston with 110 degree temps and 100% humidity. He is the world’s most interesting man in real life and can defeat Chuck Norris while delivering twin babies and drinking a Dos Equis.[/quote]But, why is he so old?
