ParticipantWhat exactly is a “Hackintosh”? Since a Mac runs on Intel chips and BSD Kernel, besides being cheaper, what are it’s benefits over running BSD on a Thinkpad? Also, isn’t it true that Apple is very religious about aggressively prosecuting anyone who tries to put MacOS on non-Apple hardware?
Beware of DMCA. You will be surprised to know how easily Apple can get you arrested! I know some big and famous companies who sent to jail some ex-engineers who emailed some source code they were working with to their personal accounts (from company machines).

ParticipantWhat do you think is your advantage (as measured in % discount from a similar non-REO transaction) to compensate for the risk in buying an “As Is” property with fewer contingencies? I think REOs are primarily profitable to those who pay cash and close with few (or no) contingencies. I think it is a transaction where the bank wants fast and certain payment for yielding on price. If they don’t yield well on price, it is no deal for a buyer.

ParticipantSD Realtor & FLU,
Keynesian economics is not today’s invention. Government intervention to prevent recessions from turning into depressions has been the accepted policy from 1930s. So, even though I share your feelings towards debt, (especially when excessive), it may be the only way to prevent Hoovervilles from becoming commonplace. I agree CFC has many problems; but at least the intention of fuel efficiency can’t be questioned; especially when much bloodshed has been over oil (directly or indirectly). In fact, the loaded cost of oil has been estimated to be about $200 per barrel if you include the cost of all military misadventures. Being a government program, obviously it was corrupted and porked up. But I would direct my outrage towards Congress buying more weapons that Pentagon doesn’t want or keeping U.S. troops in Japan, Germany, UK, Italy etc., 64 years after WWII. There is a lot of government waste; but C4C is not the top of list.
