Re: What’s a good boy’s name - 14 years ago

I think Gavin, Tate, Christopher and David are all equally nice names. My mother named my sister after herself, because she had never met another woman with that first name. Well, that name somehow ended up being one of the more popular ones of that time. My sister has actually met two different women with the same first AND last name as hers. My point is, why worry if a name is trendy, if you

Re: Sallie Mae = Green co? - 14 years ago

I have read that you should always indicate that any extra payments should be applied to the principal. I have a friend who found out after maybe six months that his extra $50 a month, or whatever it was, was being applied to the interest -- because he was writing the instruction on the memo line of the check. The mortgage company said they "did not notice it". YMMV.

I installed YDL 3 on my iMac DVSE a few years back and it went very well. I would guess it would work well on the Pismo, too. I think there may have been an issue with YDL 4 working with the Pismo's CD drive, but I could be remembering wrong or else it was corrected long ago, for all I know. Woops, I just noticed you have a 3rd-party DVD drive in there so I guess it's a moot point.

Unfortunately this is a classic problem with contractors. He probably got a chance to do a quick, high-paying job and figured to get it out of the way and return to your job before it became an issue. Either he has an exaggerated idea of how long you wouldn't mind waiting, or the side job is taking longer than he thought it would. God forbid these guys would call and explain what's going on, but

Re: Poll: "Suicide" or "Homicide" bomber? - 14 years ago

When reporting the news, yes, you would say "stabbed to death" or "shot in the head" or "bludgeoned to death". For the purpose of reporting the news, "suicide bomber" succinctly describes an event in the limited amount of time generally alloted to a news report on radio or tv. If every news report had to include an explanation of what they meant by "

Re: Poll: "Suicide" or "Homicide" bomber? - 14 years ago

I agree. "Homicide bomber" is a stupid term created because Fox News assumes their audience is a bunch of morons who can't figure out that the intent of suicide bombers is to kill other people.

Top 1% of wage earners paid 34.27% of all Federal Income taxes for 2003. This is a silly statistic. If you have 500 dollars and I have 5 dollars, and you pay 20 percent and I pay 20 percent, then you have paid 99.9 percent of my hypothetical two-man tax total. But you still have 400 dollars left, so you are still way ahead of me in what you have left for yourself. Of COURSE people paying ta
