Photo printer recommendations

For the original poster, I would also recommend the Canon i960. As for HP's photo quality: it isn't bad, but both Epson and Canon are better still. Even when you pull out PhotoRET Pro and the HP7960, it doesn't match up very well compared to the R300 and i960. The only area where the 7960...

Political compass fun !!!!! Post your scores people !

I've done the political compass test before and I would agree with alchemize on it's usefulness, or lack thereof. As for the second test: On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (65). On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Conservative (95). Do I have the highest Fiscal...

Fair and Balanced? Not with pointed polls like this one

It's just an entertainment poll. It doesn't claim to be scientific. What's your point? :confused:

The John "Foragainst" Kerry(the Vietnam Vet) quote of the day:

I have to admit that I didn't think he'd be as entertaining as he has been so far. I hope he keeps it up. There's a long way to go until November. ;)

F-22 is suck

Perhaps. However, if you're going to make the claim that this paper is one-sided, I would expect that you could provide some factual basis to back that up. Something akin to: the threat analysis is wrong because ... , the combat simulations comparing modern fighters are wrong because ... , etc ...

Cheney makes Kerry look like a fool

As is his style, I think Kerry just voted foragainst the $87 billion authorization. :) Also, what is PELarson's point? I did manage to read through that article and well what do you know, Kerry voted against it.

F-22 is suck

Good find and interesting read. Of course the one remaining option would be to soldier on with the F-15, but I don't see how that's realistic.

Outsourcing: The great hollowing-out myth

Why don't you give it a try. What is comparative advantage? You claim that the article is wrong, and really the only concept the article draws on at all is again comparative advantage. So what is it?

70% of troops in Iraq have low or average morale, 49% do not plan on re-enlisting, 31% say war is of no/little use to US

Mathematically, this particular poll's results only reflect the opinions of those 1,935 specific participants. The newspaper's editorial director acknowledges the fact that they didn't try to generate a random representative sample, rather that they gave these questions to "those who happened...

Flat or Sales tax instead of current system...agree or disagree?

This is on the right track. How much of the tax is eventually borne by the consumer, or more precisely how the burden of the tax is apportioned between the business and the consumer, is dependent on how competitive the marketplace is for that particular good, or service. The more competitive...

Poles demand more attention from their US allies. They have been disrespected in return for the strong support of the US

Adlep has the point basically right here. What Poland gets for supporting the U.S. quite simply is a powerful ally from across the Atlantic. A superpower that can help deter aggression against it. Just look at the geography; Germany on one side and Russian states on the other. So what...

Europe misses Kyoto targets

I didn't have much time earlier to follow the line of argument as some posts were rather long, but I think I understand what you're trying to say. That ceterus paribus an increase in energy efficiency may reduce GDP, but that those countries' citizens would enjoy a better standard of living...
