Within three years of college, I could probably buy a house on my own in Pittsburgh or many other areas in America's vast middle, even putting 20% down. Heck, my friend bought a house in Seattle within six months of graduating. He's leverag

Have you ever been to Minneapolis? Minneapolis has an incredible network of bikeways and is a place where bike commuting is very popular. Most folks don't do it all winter, but it's doable: http://www.civiacycles.com/whattowear/ And perso

Except those bicyclists pay taxes too, and have the exact same legal right to use the road. Riding in the "middle" of the road is a necessary technique to prevent being passed danngerously closely. Neither of those things justifies being as

It appears Hawaii has a tax essentially equivalent to a sales tax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_State... They also have a hotel tax and a rental car tax.

Nothing too much performance-wise. The new plastic one is even, at least in name, unibody. But it has a glossy keyboard area which you can scratch up pretty easily with a watch strap (I tried this at the store). Looks like they put in a new
