I am looking at building a new PC in the future but not for a few months. I don't want an upgrade version. Amazon has Win 8 System builder (with personal use license) for 129.00. Microsoft will be selling the retail copy 8.1 for 199.00
Is there anything better about the 8.1 retail version...
Can't have a naval war without it escalating into full out war but if you could:
Surface fleet only? Russians would lose badly. It would be the biggest naval loss since the Battle of Tsushima (ironically Russians lost also).
Throw in the submarine fleet and then it becomes interesting...
Are you sure the velocity wasn't going down anyway. What would make increased M cause a decrease in V?
As a rational person if I thought the government was decreasing the value of my money by tripling the money supply I would go out and spend it before the value of my money decreased. This...
The Fed can increase the money supply by a large amount and not necessarily increase inflation. *
MV=PQ
M is money supply, V is Velocity of money (how many times a dollar is spent in the economy), P is price, Q is quantity of goods
So the FED can increase the money supply without...
Horrible comparison that does nothing to inform the degree of severity of the deficit/accumulated debt.
Credit card debt: 12-28% interest rate.
Government debt ~ 1.86% (10 year). 1.86% - inflation rate = real interest rate ~=0
The numbers are wrong: Highest deficit was 1.4 T currently...
I am looking at getting my dad a replacement digital camera for my dad. His old one was an easy share Kodak. His computer skills are pretty limited he can turn it on, upload files by plugging the camera by USB, and then look at the pictures in the Kodak software. He would like a new one with...
I test drove the Sonota SE (4 turbo) and GLS (4).
Suburu outback.
At toyota I test drove the Camrys (4 and 6) and the Prius V.
Nissan altima.
I've owned both a sonota and a camry. I am replacing a 11 year old camry with 97k miles (needs wheel berring replaced, the...
So I test drove 3 different brands of cars about 2 cars each dealership.
I am thinking of choosing the Camry (yes boring I know).
The dealership has MSRP listed with their "internet" pricing on each vehicle in stock (about 3-4k off MSRP this falls in line with Edmunds TMV values).
I...
Your landlord cannot charge you the full price of a new counter as what you damaged was an old counter. The most you owe him for is the cost of the depreciated counter. Think if you were at fault for totaling someones car. They do not get a new car that get the max value that the car was...
Ethanol, the triple crown of government regulation (as some blogger once put it).
1. Tariffs on imports
2. Mandate to use
3. and tax subsidy
The tax credit really isn't needed if you have the first two. The blenders have no choice because of the mandate to use corn ethanol whether or...
The way they are cooling the seawater back to temperature is by using a cooling tower. A cooling tower works by evaporative cooling. Thus part of the seawater is evaporated.
If you were to use the pure water (relatively) that is circulating in the system you would waste the water to the...
The WaPo lists security clearance career fairs every once in a while for people who already have gone through the clearance procedure. You'd be able to personally hand off your resume.
What is your college major?

I applied to my current fed job two different ways. I...
The plutonium of that size would be critical and start a chain reaction given off neutrons and radiation, however, it would not explode. The heat of the nuclear reaction would expand the basketball until it was no longer critical.
That is why you need explosives around the plutonium sphere...
I've read a lot of the coverage and 100% of the stories tilt this to being a case of a woman who is disabled not a person who is so brain damaged that her mind is gone and all that is left is her body. The papers seem to be taking it on face value that that she can actually communicate via...
This is a Generation II plant. The new generation III plants are much safer and involve passive cooling designs that do not need power. The Westinghouse design has a giant reservoir of water that can gravity feed into the core in case of an emergency. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP1000
You didn't take H and R all the way to the end, where it adds the "Making work Pay" tax credit. The difference between the two is 800 which is the max credit you receive if you are married. If you are single you would receive half of that and then I'm not sure what happened.
Watchtower magazine, isn't that the magazine that Jehovahs witnesses give out? Where and who did they get the quote from. What is the context of the quote?
Is it axiomatic that all matter absorbs/attenuates all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (from radio waves to gamma rays) to at least some extent (it could be barely any but at least more than 0)? The matter is not-exotic (no dark matter) but simply compounds based off of the traditional...
I never understood why India wasn't our big ally in the region. Large population, democratic, former British colony, the country's people like the US and send many mart students here some of whom stay and they deal with a lot of the same terrorism issues.
Its patented as using the word "Isolated". The courts ruled that while a gene may exist in nature it exists as part of a chromosome and does not exist "isolated".
1. Total amount recoverable is not flow rate.
There could be a bazillion barrels recoverable but if you can only recover it at 1 million barrels a day you still have to purchase from foreign sources. Think drinking from a pool with a straw.
2. Amount recoverable says noting about...
In addition to black out curtains there are black out blinds. Next day blinds sells them (although it took 6 weeks to get them figure that). They block out all the light except on the very edges. They are accordion type blinds in the middle are two layers of foil and they whatever color you...
You should do a report about antivaccine idiots who think vaccines cause autism.
This can start you off: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=3941#more-3941
Here's a summary of their beliefs:
Antivaccine idiot: Mercury in vaccines cause autism.
Scientist: There is no evidence of that...
28 days later zombies or any other 'infected' virus like zombies require food to stay alive. In 28 days later they would die without eating. I don't think it necessarily had to be human flesh, but they were filled with too much rage to get food from other sources.
Romero type zombies could...
Engineer, What field are you in? Also how close are you to retirement age, more specifically to getting Medicare (65). Cam you and your family be covered by your wife's health insurance?
