Do I really need to buy car insurance?

I work for an insurance carrier in CA. "It depends" is the correct answer. Typically the liability for personal auto policies follows the individual. If you drive your buddy's car, your personal auto picks up the damage to a third party. However I have seen other carriers offer...

RCA 52" Rear-Projection HDTV

Hey everyone, I went to BB to look at this TV today and it looked really dark compared to the other TVs (couldn't turn it up). Also, there were a couple of returns on this model. Don't mean to thread crap, just an FYI.

GeForce4 Ti 4200 vs. Ati 9550 - which is better?

I saw an ad this weekend for an ATI 9550 (Dominator) for 49.99. I have an old G3 Ti200 that has served me well. You guys think it's worth the $50 for an upgrade? The highest res game I play is usually WC3.

Poker question about odds

Just another tip for the hand.. AK is a great hand to have, because when it hits, it's guaranteed top pair with top kicker. That said, AK is typically NOT a preflop all-in hand, on a live table. Instead, depending on position, get some money in the pot and see a flop. If you miss, you...

YAAT: Would Would Have Been At Fault?

That's not true at all. Not in CA at least. I had a friend who had this happen in an incident. A lady waved him the all clear. He proceeded to turn left and was smacked by a car going straight that he couldn't see. He was completely at fault.

Why does everyone call Bezerkely Cal?

That's not true at all. Cal is "Cal" because when it was founded, it was the ONLY UC school. Therefore, when you said "Cal," the ONLY interpretation was The University of California, at Berkeley. The name Cal predates all the other UCs.

Can't we just shoot people like this? (I lost money gambling, I'm gonna sue)

Why was there ever a browser war in the first place?

don't you remember what the original anti-trust lawsuit was about? Netscape WAS charging for browsers. Then MS came out with IE and started GIVING it AWAY. Netscape was then forced to give away their browser, but died since they had no alternative sources of revenue.

I work in the industry and do quite a bit of shopping as well. I hardly ever hear the term IBM-compatible any more, except from out of date customers(this is not intended as a tongue in cheek insult, just the honest truth). The industry standard now is (I believe) PC-compatible.
