A travel card that uses Visa Infinite is your best bet here. I have the Capital One Venture X and one of my prime use cases for it (aside from travel upgrades and points transfer) is electronics purchases.

But it does mean "better than the current guy", though. So, he is better. Better than the man before (who started the wars in the ME, but in the countries who didn't plan and execute 9/11 oddly), and better than the man

But if we cut military, they'd then be much more fiscally responsible and not have to admit that they'd "lost" trillions of dollars that they can't account for every, oh, decade or so. http://www.cnn.com&

It's like people don't remember that there was a president that called a press conference, spoke to the people, put on a jacket, got in a helicopter, and flew away from the White House forever.

> 200000 household income. You realize the median household income is 50000, right? So, in a small city you have to make 4x the national median to just survive? Wow, I know the West Coastians live in a well-protected self-imagined bubble

"If someone broke the law trying to get their next meal they would be prosecuted." Yet, you can't arrest an obese person for possession of Big Macs. You can't bust them eating a rasher of bacon mid-bite and throw them in

I live in the Triangle, and driven to such far-flung locales in NC as Advance, Roxboro, and Eden. The people I've interacted with (however limited) are ardently political in the conservative direction for reasons other than fiscal. Man

And, that's the routine setup. Some games require you to crack it using a separate application. Others require you to disable networking during the install process to make sure it doesn't phone home. Then others disallow multiplay

I find it interesting the amount of sudden vitriol by some of the formerly "free market" supporters that thought that the terrible job market for non-STEM majors would never, ever hit the technology industry. Those that decry arti

It's just another one of the pile of vitriol against electric vehicles. Day after day, whenever someone mentions Tesla or Prius Plug-ins or the Nissan Leaf or whatever, it seems to kick in a auto-response of "what is the ROI of el

This is never brought up with any kind of seriousness, and the lack of discussion baffles me. I don't understand how we talk about salaries when the top 5% usually do not draw a major salary. They live off capital gains from selling st

Homelessness is a basic physiological necessity, like food, water, and others in the Maslow's Hierarchy. So, yes, it's more important than the industrial complex or "autism" (what the hell does that even mean? What about

What kind of talk is that? "Just walk away"? To what, exactly? Homelessness? So, now you're poor, no job, AND homeless. That's not "the kind of thinking" that's needed, either. Let's all agree that ed

At my last job, we sat around in the support bullpen trying to outdo each other with our desktops. The more 3D and "Matrix-y" the better. There was so much green phosphor text you'd think you were in a room full of old IBM 32
