    Cross your fingers $50 barrel of oil

    I've just got to say something. You can drill off our shores all day long and you will NEVER get enough oil to get us away from middle-east oil!!!! We don't have oil here not like the rest of the world, we do have natural gas but even that would be used up quickly. My view is simple, listen...

    Any VB.Net programmers around?

    Interesting, however, I must say I've already had the book and the course... We did simple programs like Copyright screens, math program so that it would randomly give different numbers to add or subtract for kids to learn math... The assignments were sometimes partially completed programs that...

    How many have moved from Sat to Cable

    If the digital cable that is available less than a mile from me (their fiber runs less than a 1/4 of a mile from my house) was available to me, I'd switch to them and get digital cable and cable internet (since DSL isn't available to me) in a heart beat!! No more rain fade for my TV or internet!!!

    If fuel Prices Keep rising

    If fuel prices keep rising? LOL Well, what you think? Oil companies make hundreds of millions in profits, yet we keep hearing they aren't up to capacity, production is down, etc... Oil prices will continue to rise, while we have the mind set we have in washigton... I've heard 10 years (or more)...

    Any VB.Net programmers around?

    Took an introduction to Visual Basic 2005 course for my Bachelor degree. And after the course was over tried to stay with it, however, the lack of knowing enough about programming and therefore the ability to program real well, caused me to give up on it for now. However, am very interested in...

    Fraud Alert: 1-877-487-4751 Den Enterprises

    I understand what you are saying and I agree, let me rephrase, Den Enterprises or someone acting as Den Enterprises is a theif and should be prosecuted for fraud... Gas stations I have to agree on, they should require at least a pin to use a CC or debit card (debit card requires pin at gas...

    Fraud Alert: 1-877-487-4751 Den Enterprises

    My mom recently looked at her bank statement online and found a charge of $9.55 from Den Enterprises and phone number 1-877-487-4751. The problem with this is, 1) she never bought anything for $9.55, 2) never heard of Den Enterprises, and 3) calling the number you only get a voice mailbox...

    RIAA now suing guy for copying his own cds

    stop buying their products, stop renting, stop going to the theaters, stop buying music, stop listening to the radio (internet included via I-Tunes, Napster, etc.), watching TV, and RIAA and MPAA will go away, they'll learn that they can't just expect everyone to buy crappy music/movies for $20...

    The Dark Knight... (with me!)

    First, to the OP, that is totally cool, getting to be an extra, even in the middle of all of those other extras, would be totally cool. Second, The Dark Knight, looks like a good movie, all I've got to say to the comments about other movies not being good, Tim Burton... LOL Need I say more. I...

    How have you been scammed?

    I learned a long time ago, if it sounds too good to be true and it requires $, CC #, etc. I don't buy it, send it, or sign up for it. My ex-wife one time was on the internet and she put our phone # in on a website, a month later, had a charge for Voice mail on our home phone, I was like wtf...

    Movie Gallery (Hollywood Video, etc) circling the drain

    Crap! I like them, I hope they hold on. Out of the local rental places, they are fairly cheap, have good deals, and they give em to you for 5 nights on new releases (instead of 4 at Hastings). And I don't like Blockbuster at all, never have, and likely never will (long story). I also don't...

    Your first car.

    My first car was a 1978 GMC heavy 1/2 ton pickup regular cab with no fancy features. My brother did a job for someone and they gave it to him. Had no motor in it, and it had been sitting for about 10 years. All of the tires actually held air, transmission was pulled when motor was pulled. When I...

    Price of milk

    If prices haven't went up for you yet, they will. About a month ago, signs were posted saying milk was going up. So far, prices have went up about a dollar or so. Noticed on my way home tonight, gas has went from $2.89 to $3.19 a gallon for regular unleaded, I'm sure gas prices don't help the...

    need new printer

    One thing I will tell you, stay away from Lexmark or Dell Printers. Ink is very expensive for both, and with Dell, you have to buy from Dell (might be able to buy Lexmark and then change it so it works, but don't count on that, and might be able to get from 3rd party (E-Bay maybe?), but again...

    Never trust a hayes manual

    1) If Goodyear stripped, you should have pressed issue more. They have insurance for this kind of thing, they should have paid to have fixed professionally. 2) What did you expect at Midas? Them to fix your rig up? Anytime you plug a plug with a plug, you're just asking for trouble. Temporary...

    Is this site a "commercial" site??

    I've only got one thing to say! DBStalk talking about heavy advertising, is like a cat talking about hair balls! I don't know scott, I visit here from 3 or 4 different computers, so sometimes I browse without signing in, and really there isn't that many ads up, IMHO. Not compared to...

    Did you know?

    Why so scary? Humans evolve, we have since the beginning of our time. WE can chose to make our evolution good. As humans we have to wise up, start teaching our kids, start taking care of the planet, and most important, learn to get along with each other. None of this will come true if we end...

    Vote for Sanjaya!

    I thought American Idol was meant to pick the best musician? Sounds more like people want to vote for the dumbest and in this case youngest. He's just 17 people, come on, you know if he wins it will screw up his entire life, because for now on, he'll just think "hey, I won American Idol, I don't...

    Why youtube sucks.

    What kills the music industry is that they require too much $ for their product. Everything else drops in prices, and if anything music has increased. CD's came out, easier to make, cheaper to make, yet prices went up. That was ok in early 90's when CD's were fairly new, but now, there is no...

    Anyone tried/have learned second, third, etc. language?

    how goes it, eh? :) My wife is from B.C., so yeah, I can speak it too, lol, :) Especially when her parents visit, man, every other sound out of their mouths is eh. Wife, has been here too long, she has lost most of her accent, and she don't say eh, except every other sentence, lol.

    Anyone tried/have learned second, third, etc. language?

    My question on this, do you still know it? In other words, have you retained the ability to speak Arabic? Would be interested to know, how well second languages—I guess now third—stay in our memory. I agree, and I know that the more I immerse myself into the language, and not just...
