    FCC Broadband plan

    I'm kinda for the plan seeing as how we are a little behind (ok, quite a bit behind) other countries, but this is funny: http://cafehayek.com/2010/03/says-it-all.html

    Economists sued for malpractice?

    Interesting blog. stdreb, I'm sure you'll have lots to chime in about this one. http://www.maxineudall.com/2010/02/s...lpractice.html We appear to be at a political impasse because the idea that “government is the problem” has become entrenched. A moral philosophy pretending to be a science...

    Why does itunes have to suck???

    I have 16G of music from my last computer backed up on an external in an itunes folder. Now I am trying to get it to play on my laptop, which I normally just use windows media player since I don't own an iPod (Sansa mp3 & 8G on my blackberry...) and I can not do it. I have to have iTunes on my...

    Interesting take on Obama & markets

    From The Freeman: http://www.thefreemanonline.org/tgif...tate-business/ No Marxist He If we don’t get the analysis right, we won’t get the response right. Despite what some popular right-wing talk-show hosts claim, Obama is not pushing Marxism, revolutionary or otherwise. The threat is not from...

    Car noise question

    I can't seem to find anything online that resembles this noise, so I thought I'd see if one of you know. I just bought a 2006 Grand Cherokee w/ 30K on it. Clean carfax that shows regular maintenance. So, after driving it, I park it in the garage and every 10 seconds or so it will make a "ting"...

    If you missed the action Thursday night (I saw it on ESPN), this BYU vs. New Mexico woman's soccer game was crazy: http://www.sportsrubbish.com/2009/11...-hair-pulling/http://www.sportsrubbish.com/2009/11...-hair-pulling/

    Will debt be the demise of the U.S.?

    What do you think? It seems to me that (very simplified) Democrats want to expand Federal social programs & Republicans want tax cuts. The dems think this will eventually increase tax revenue by helping the lower classes "raise themselves up" to a "better life." The Reps think that tax cuts...

    Anybody have this skimmer? Thinking about buying it within the next week. I had my tank drilled about a month ago, have a refugium in the first chamber and the second is for the skimmer. Can this skimmer be run in 12" of water? I can raise it as well, but I can't find anything on what depth...

    Chicken Strip= Cracked tooth?

    I think God (or the like) hates me. For lunch my prego wife was craving Runza, which is a Nebraska fast-food chain that has really good food as in they patty fresh burger everyday rather than frozen boxed crap, and I got chicken strips. On my second bite I heard a loud crack in my mouth...

    The movie "W."

    Just got done watching this with the wifey (netflix rental) and I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a left beating and it wasn't protectionist right, but rather a pretty fair assessment IMO. In fact it almost made me like him a little more in some ways, while realizing that he was an idiot...

    Deck/ Dog Kennel build

    Ok, so my new house has a deck that needs to be replace, and I'm more than happy to build it myself (used it as a bargaining chip as I love that kind of work). It only sits about 4' high so the space under the deck is wasted....unless I utilize it as my dog kennel. I want to get a couple...
