I see two problems with estimating price off craigslist. 1. List price is not the same as selling price 2. The averaging is being moved by "accessory items" i.e. http://priceonomics.com/computers/apple/macbook-air/ shows a lot of things t

Where did you get a source for UFC fighters salaries? I'm not saying your wrong but I've never seen them publicly disclosed. Also it seems like the big names make okay money GSP pull in $4-5 million a fight.[1] Some of the guys fight up to

Most of the smart meters aren't billing rated currently. Also the meter's don't control how much electricity is generated. As far as device control goes most of them only turn on and off simple switches. The only area that is of concern is

$150,000 is bad but not un-fixable. You should get credit counselling and speak to a lawyer about your options. Bear in mind credit counselors are often paid by the credit card companies. If you have to or decide to fulling pay down the deb

This isn't a very good poll because the groups are different things and sizes. Why don't you just do it by State/Province? For example. I live in Toronto so I'm going to Select the Great Lakes, so are people in Waterloo, Buffalo, etc, etc a
