I have a sticker with Homer Simpson pointing to his ass, Hah! I have that same sticker on the window of my car! The only sticker I'll put on there save my "First Generation Honda Civic Owner's Club" sticker I designed. -- B

I find it interesting that people who support the anti-outsourcing candidate drive cars from foreign companies. Are you aware that many foreign cars are actually manufactured here in the states? Are you also aware that this is providing jobs to pepole here in the US? If I were to buy a new car, it wou

Thank you so much for this article! I wrote one with a similar context about the prevelance of two 'major parties' here . I hope that one day your daughter decides to go into politics, because if she's so sharp at ten years old, when she is old enough to run for some office, she'll make a real difference somewhere. -- B

Is there any reason why you stick with the Phaser line of printers? Do they only make the wax based ink printers, or do they use powdered toner in some of their printers as well? -- B

Reply to Kerry & Bush face the post debate reality in Politics JoeUser Forums

Wow Brad. I've not really seen you give as neutral of a analysis such as this one (good work). I didn't watch the first debate, and with all this talk about note cards and "PaperGate" (if I hear another "-gate" political scandal, I'm going to shoot someone) I'm glad I didn't. I don't think I'm going to vote for neither one of them (See the movie "Brewster's Millions" for an idea of how I'm likely to vote) so the debates really don't sway my opinion

Reply to A living Wage? in Politics JoeUser Forums

The problem here, at least with consumer goods, is this... If it is a choice of manufacturing a product in the United States at a higher price, or another country at a lower price, you will hardly see a noticable difference in price at purchase time. Why? Because most companies would just charge the same amount to the consumer and keep the extra money as profit (or perhaps sell it for 5% less than the competitor and still take a healthy prof

Reply to What Makes a Person Take up Smoking? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I didn't start smoking cigarettes after I had started smoking pot regularly. I learned from an Englishman how to roll "spliffs" which are a cigarette with marijuana and tobacco with a little cardboard crutch where the filter went. Then, when I started to work in an office environment and I couldn't really step outside to smoke a spliff, I started smoking cigarettes on my breaks. When we had Caleb (my first son) I stopped smoking both shortly therea

We charge $60/hr for labour rates, and to clean a severely virus and spyware laden computer to the point of cleanliness (without a full reformat, mind you) takes about three hours. And we have ALL the tools. You are getting a hell of a deal. BTW, people here do not generally scoff at the $180 we charge for such a service, they are just grateful that their system works again. And part of that three hours is resetting the computer up so it is less pr

Well then you better get roommates. 10 years ago I was living in Kalamazoo Michigan with 4 roommates. I had one room in there.

The question is, can they live on that? The answer is, yes. Yes they can Holy cow, you CAN'T be serious? In California, that wouldn't even pay rent for the year in a "low-income" apartment. I was renting a one bedroom apartment in a pretty ghetto neighborhood in Richmond, CA. Rent: $985/mo. You tell

I got all of them correct. Yeah, video games were the fifth food group for me as a kid, although I had to think REALLY hard on a couple of them (the E.T. one was especially hard). It also helps to have MAME installed on this PC so I can still play all of these old games of my past. -- B

Reply to What are they doing to make the water so dirty? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Texas, Bettas are a part of the Labyrinth fishes. They've got a special mechanism in their little bodies which allow them to survive in water with very low oxygen content. There are a couple of things which could be causing your water to be smelly. a.) Ammonia : Fish are basically peeing constantly. They release liquid waste through their gills in the form of ammonia. This ammonia, even in moderate levels is toxic and deadly to
