  1. This poll did too.... Under "overall demographics," it says "54% republican, 5% democratic, 36% independent." That's 41% democratic/independent.
  2. It's not like the bread/buns you get at restaurants are any good either...
  3. What's the point of watching if you don't BILLieve?
  4. They're about 4.5 months away. At that point, I predict they'll be tied for first place in the league and fighting for homefield.
  5. Do you use it twice?
  6. The crazy part is that even smart, well-educated people were falling for the media hype. My mother-in-law was one of those. She has a masters degree (MBA or Masters in Finance, can't remember), used to run the finances for Shop-Ko, and now teaches finance and accounting at college -- yet she was completely freaking out about the downturn of her retirement accounts. My wife and I were telling her that she hasn't lost ANYTHING yet -- she has the same number of shares as she did before the downturn -- and she knew that in her head, but all the fear and doom in the media was just making her a basket case because she "lost" 70% of her portfolio (or whatever the number was). I have no idea if she sold at the bottom. I hope her brain won out over her feelings...
  7. Care to illustrate how exactly this is clear...? I haven't seen it, other than comments from posters on this board making stuff up.
  8. I'm totally going to buy it, play around with it for a month, and then return it!
  9. Stop wasting that space -- it hurts shareholder value.
  10. +500,000,000 A big reason for small mailboxes actually isn't even about IT -- it's about legal. Small mailbox means if your company is sued, you have less documents to provide to the prosecution. Everyone loves to blame IT for everything, when half of the stuff they complain about actually comes from the internal audit department - that group just doesn''t get blamed...
  11. You may have Googled it, but you didn't look very hard on this forum.... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?showtopic=111353
  12. They've never done that in the Twin Cities; nobody has any idea what I'm talking about when I use that line.
  13. You willing to donate money if I lose? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?showtopic=111067
  14. That's another interesting point -- the guy has never actually sent me an image that he scanned. He sent me a photo of his screen that he took with a digital camera... But never the file itself... His explanation was: "I have not yet figured out how to get Lightroom to locate the import source, so I have simply snapped a few images of what I'm viewing on my monitor so you can see for yourself what I am encountering." I really want to fight the guy because I think he's scamming me... But on the other hand, everything I've read says that there's a 99.99% chance of losing the dispute and then I'll be out the various fees as well, so... His story doesn't seem to add up ("I have June 1st deadline! Need to get this resolved by April 1st," but then doesn't actually click the "return" button until April 13th....?), but is it worth fighting? Most people here who have dealt with this stuff seem to indicate no...
  15. Or if you just want to borrow something to finish a project with....
  16. So the only thing I'll be out is the shipping costs and the auction insertion fee?
  17. So I hadn't heard anything for a few weeks - and now today I get an email from eBay that the dude wants to return the scanner. I'm thinking that the people who said he finished his project and now wants his money back are correct. The email said I will receive my "final value fee" back, but said nothing about PayPal or insertion fees. Lovely. I have a week to respond. I have to decide if I'll send it to an arbitrator or not, but everything I've read says that the arbitrator will take his side regardless... After reading lots of negative comments on the web about eBay's policies, I think I might be done selling on their site.
  18. Looks like Adobe agrees with BlueFire... http://apple.slashdot.org/story/10/04/13/1...pple-Over-Flash (maybe... )
  19. I believe CI always covers the first round of the playoffs.
  20. Game 2 is on NBC this Saturday.
  21. Is this article accurate? http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/the...use_--_oh_wait/ Specifically: "Yes OS-X and the Mac will support multibutton mice. It even comes with a mouse that is multibutton. But by default it works as a single, with the left and right buttons doing the same thing. If true, that would explain why when I clicked the right mouse button in class last weekend, that nothing happened... I'm still very curious.
  22. The son is definitely a minor from what I've heard.
  23. This stuff really makes me sad. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/09/...ellation-soyuz/
