it blew my mind that you can buy an hp-15c at best buy still. it's on the shelf sort of by the cameras. and before you start: when i feel like blowing 400 bucks on a time wasting and useless game console, you bet your ass i'm goi

for westinghouse to file bankruptcy less than 90 days into a new republican administration with a focus on defense, nationalism, and domestic business is a pretty obvious move to get either a bailout or absorbed into DoD or DoE. and i'

you're not crazy. for certain versions of osx, it's "just broken". i've seen it with my own eyes, and personally flux has only worked for me very well recently (like in the past 6 months). i advise you tell the de

i didn't say any of those things. i said i had a small business. your favorite neighborhood restaurant probably does more revenues than my business, but it's still in the millions. having a business with a single one million in
