I'm sure you were just filled with rapture on that one... Where was talk years ago about how Microsoft wanted to combine the portability of Windows CE with the user friendliness of Windows ME and the security of Windows NT...... but they got stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Wheel bearing or CV joint.

I don't think anyone here was arguing the other way. I just want an efficient process to document them properly and let them work for at least the legal minimum wage.

2:26 seconds, but I'm also a terrible typist.

Well maybe both? I know the ignition recall was the one that caught fire in people's garages.... my other grandmother's Escort did that, but they caught it smoking and had it towed out. It didn't have cruise control.

I think that was the ignition system, not the cruise control switches....

Apparently my local DSG is teh suck. I stopped in one near the bike trail yesterday and they don't carry even Rollerblade parts much less the blades themselves! Though they do sell guns in this location just 5 miles from downtown Pittsburgh....

I mean, I don't want them to look like this: Mine are a black shell, wheels, and frame, with a dark blue inner boot

I do it as an alternative to jogging.

The losses on the automotive company bailouts could only be $34b if GM's value went to zero. Since even in liquidation that wouldn't be possible, the $34b is just a big number meant to scare people. Even skeptical analysts peg GM's value at around $68b, which makes the Government's share a little over $41 billion.

Yesterday I broke out the rollerblades for the season.... the pair I have, I've owned since 1997. I got out to the bike trail, strapped them on, and *SNAP*, two straps broke. Anyone have any suggestions for a set of replacement blades that are good quality but don't look like I belong on the set of Dragonball Z?

Happy Birthday everyone!

If it's a mini-poll, I'm disqualified.

Why would I need to? I've never had trouble finding someone do to it for me.... this is one area where I favor outsourcing the work...

This line stood out to me: This ignores the fact that people without insurance are less likely to seek out treatment for an illness before it gets to emergency status. The number I would want answered is: "How many of the uninsured received emergancy treatment for something that started off as a minor illness and was left untreated until the ER visit?"

Damn that Matador is ghastly!

I don't agree with their methods. They are more concerned with the continuation of the organization than with the results they get. They spend a huge amount of their donations on swanky parties with D.C. elites.

Number 6 is only half right I think.... the lower half...

Utah had a gay kiss in about 6 months ago.

Why? You don't have gay people there?

It's the Human Rights Campaign.... it's a gay rights organization.

Well lets apply some critical thinking to the CBO estimate from March. Is 34 billion a reasonable number?

Did you read the link? And Treasury thinks it's going to lose $1.6b on Chrysler

Hot car!

And.... as I said yesterday.... taxpayers aren't going to lose any money on the GM bailout.
