Osama Bin Laden is Dead. President to make a speech soon.

I'm sure it was a 5.56 or a 9mm, either way, should have been a pretty easy ID based on intelligence and facial recognition. As for Pakistan, I know they're going through the whole song and dance about it being a victory and that they were involved, but I would love to be a fly on the wall...

Osama Bin Laden is Dead. President to make a speech soon.

I for one am extremely satisfied that this was a live operation with boots on the ground. Drone strike or a 2000lb JDAM is so impersonal and would have taken away from this moment. It would have also led to years of debate on whether or not we actually got him. I also 100% agree with...

So, looks like the ps3 is completely hacked.

Well, I'm glad I didn't disappoint. Without a jailbreak for the iPhone, I'd be much happier with a Droid phone on Verizon's network. Without a jailbreak for the PS3, I'm much happier on my Xbox 360. I guess this time I'll qualify my statement with, IMO.

I've come to the conclusion - integrated graphics are good enough for 99% of the pop.

I agree, if they own a Xbox 360.

Obama plans high-speed money shredder, made in China.

Jeeeeeez, you're an angry soul. Sorry I overshot the time by 30 minutes. Can I take my foot out of my mouth now? Would buying you a coffee at the corner of Haight-Ashbury improve your demeanor? I'm guessing no.

TheRedUnderURBed definitely lives in SF, I've lived in the Bay Area all my life and can just tell. I like taking BART when I have to get to the city, but I still have to drive twenty minutes to get to the nearest BART station (Pittsburg) and it's an hour and a half trip one way to the city...

Makes me want to buy another PS3. I sold mine three years ago, never looked back and lived happy ever after with my Xbox 360. But I have to admit that this "jailbreak" has me itching to buy a new PS3. I jailbreak my iPhones and I can tell you that without jailbreaking an iPhone, there is no...

Are we in a golden period of GPU's right now?

I've been out of the custom built PC/GPU game for about five years now thanks to my Xbox 360. Keeping up with the latest and greatest in PC hardware was becoming more expensive than doing drugs. From the little that I've read up on GPUs, it seems it is indeed the "Golden Age" if you're...

2007 Mazda 6 keyless entry doesn't work.

I bought a used 2007 Mazda 6 sedan almost one year ago exactly. It's a great car, but my stupid clicker hasn't worked for eleven of the twelve months I've owned the car. It's not a huge issue as I've been getting along fine without, just a really annoying hassle. When I bought the car the...

an eviction is considered a matter of public record. When a rental company runs your credit, it also searches your public record for prior evictions. If one shows up, most automatically deny you. That's what I was referringto when I said I would be "blacklisted".

Owner = plaintiff listed on unlawful detainer. Trustee of property. Landlord = onsite manager. Person I turn rent into. I'm not saying that none of this is my fault. It is my fault and I'm not trying to place blame on anyone. I'm simply trying to figure out how to proceed going forward...

Received eviction notice. Need advice.

It is my understanding that they have already taken action against me. They went to court and filed to have me officially evicted. The unlawful detainer is basically a court summons that requires me to file an official response with the court or they hand down a judgement against me whether I am...

Without a doubt, it's the chargers. I go to school in SD, but unlike every other person who is non-native to SD, I have not jumped on this bandwagon. The offense is electrifying at times, yes. But all too often they fail to score inside the redzone. It seems like the offense is completely...
