This "new" computer only handles SATA drives. Build date on it is '08.

No IDE, floppy, serial, or parallel ports. 1st one like that for me. Only one
PCI slot, too.

On the lookout for SATA drives now.

a large percentage of americans are currently behind on their mortage.
like 15 percent i forget the exact number,

just look at our country.

few save anything, live paycheck to paycheck, have big credit card
bills and no plans to pay them off.

the debts normal everybody has debt mentailty can get people in
serious grief.

overspending can lead tyo divorce, most divorces are over money.

well the divorce effect far more than the 2 people who decide to
split.

think of the kids and all the colateral damage that overspending
causes.

even those with perfect credit are paying for those who go bankrupt

feds need to put some realistic limits on companies gving credit.

a easy move...

if the credit card company gives anyone too much credit, the company
agrees in advance to a max interest rate say 10%

Nope. Take the same list, stick to it, pay with a rewards credit card, pay
the bill in full each month, and get hundreds of dollars back each year. I
get back about $750 a year in cash, not merchandise, by using my card for
every possible purchase, and I never pay the card company a cent. The real
trick is to never buy anything you don't actually need.

Thats not a large percentage, its a small percentage and
unsurprising given that 10% are unemployed and something
like 20% want a full time job and dont currently have one.

And some of that alleged 15% are taking advantage of
the stupid US non recourse system with mortgages too.

Thats a lie with the home ownership rate at an all time historic high.

Thats the main way they save.

In fact the majority pay off their credit cards in full every month.

> the debts normal everybody has debt mentailty

Yes, very few can get a house any other way. Bet you didnt.

> can get people in serious grief.

And the majority dont, in fact pay off their cards in full every month.

> overspending can lead tyo divorce,

So can fucking around.

> most divorces are over money.

Easy to claim. Pity you cant actually substantiate that claim.

> well the divorce effect far more than the 2 people who decide to split.

So does not divorcing when that makes sense too.

> think of the kids and all the colateral damage that overspending causes.

And plenty choose not to have kids at all.

> even those with perfect credit are paying for those who go bankrupt

Nope. I dont pay a cent in interest, so dont pay a cent for those who go bankrupt.

Not even possible.

Nope.

That would mean that the credit duds would be subsidised
by everyone else even more than they currently are.

The reason the credit duds are slugged a much higher rate is
because its them that produce the highest costs for the industry.

And I am all for people paying for their own rewards. If someone decides
to use cash there should be nothing barring the merchant from offering a
cash discount.

To clarify a bit, Frank is in the UK and was referring to the
recently-ousted British Labour party, who's spent the last
couple of decades destroying the British economy and turning
a free country into a near police state.

I did not realize Franks' perspective right away, leading to
some confusion.

My comment was in reference to Barack Obama, who is trying to
do the same to the United States. Regarding his spending:

Thanks, that's surprising. First reference is 10 years old, and I didn't
see a date on the second one, but that's not the picture commonly

payments, thats a all time historical high

No matter whether the revolution comes to power in Mexico (Jalapeno
Revolution) or any other third world Banana Republic which today
copies lifestyles from the West (SUVs and all), these are the general
conditions set out by the Comandante (me)...

a) Bicycles are vehicles, thereby they are entitled to taking the lane
--cars must clear the lane 30' before and after

b) Cyclists must wear bright vests or lycra suits in plain daylight.
Lights are mandatory at night --or be issued a ticket

c) When there's an accident between car and bike, the driver is to
blame until proven otherwise

d) No phones policy

e) Passing lane policy

f) Decency law... YOU CAN WEAR WHATEVER YOU FUCKING WANT!

BP is the massey energy of oil.....

BOTH companies had far higher than other accident and citation rates
than other companies.

BP near 800 major deficency citations Exxon mobile ONE sunocy 8.

BP like massey just paid the fines as a cost of doing business.

EASY SOLUTION:)

when any company gets higher than industry average fines / citations.

Fines double then triple then quadruple.

so comanies cant afford to be poor safety operators.

The other issue BP is on the hook to pay all clean up costs.

But what of the colateral damage all the fishermen, resturants bars
amusement parks hotels that depend on tourism to survive.

None of these people did anything wrong but will lkely go out of
business, unable to pay bills.

now the oil is collecting in the gulf, what happens when a hurricane
comes along and spreads the oil around florida and up the east coast

I believe this leak will push our economy not just back into recession
but depression.

imagine wiping out tourism and so much more in not only the gulf and
florida but all the way up the east coast:(

BP isnt big enough to cover the colateral damage they will go
bankrupt.

Tell your Jesus to fix the world instead of talking about the other
life.

I think he's a BULLSHITTER...

Well, after nearly 50 years on the same street, I've sort of put
down some pretty deep roots.

Derald also forgot that if he expects an answer to email he sends, he
needs to provide a valid email address.

Briefly, I'm following up to articles that have more than five newsgroups
in the original header, which is why your newsreader is dropping my posts.

Did you hear about the new saint, San Adreas? He's the patron saint of
blame, it's all his fault.

Ah; so. I suppose that I shall continue to miss the occasional gem,
then. By the time I notice again that I'm missing some of your posts, I
will have forgot. So it goes.
