    OT - home internet service

    As a new AT$Tcustomer you get 6.0Mbps DSL for $15/month or so, with a $100 modem that has a $100 mail-in rebate. 1 year, no contract, then up to $40-$50/month. When my first year ran out they signed me up for a new account for the deal again. It is ONLY worth it for that price. For $40 a month...

    OT: TV set at the tailgate

    I think the main reason people use the home dishes, is that often the dish companies just leave the old one when it's replaced. Free beats portable.

    OT: Book(s) on investing

    For one, supply side policies have massively increased capital.....and thus lowered it's return. and 2, innovations like HF trading have sapped returns for the typical investor. combine that with that you are losing 1-3% annually to fees, and future stock returns for us average Joes will be...

    OT: Book(s) on investing

    Granted, i've not given this the thought i should have before. But i see it as diversification. I invest way more than the cost of life insurance (whole or term). If those investments pan out (and more importantly if i'm continuously employed to enable continual investment), then the extra...

    N. MS is losing it's ABC Station Aug. 31

    You have to file a waiver request, meaning DirecTV sends a request for a waiver to the local station near you. You will never be able to get anyone on the phone that has any clue how they determine distance, i tried repeatedly dealing with this problem on the coast in 2008. I was outside of the...

    Who will be our biggest letdown of the season?

    Not that he'll have a bad year, just that people seem to either never notice or forget how poorly he played at times last season. He's kind of the Josh Morgan of this defense, which isn't bad, but i see many calling him the MVP of the defense, All-American, etc. He's solid, will occasionally...

    Is Michael Phelps the greatest athlete of all-time in any sport?

    What the hell has he done besides swimming? Thorpe was an all-around athelete, Ruth hit and pitched, etc. Excelling in one thing, no matter how well, just isn't enough for the title of best athelete. Holy **** i can't belivee it took me that long to write that. durnk!!!!!!!!!!!

    Craig Sword arrested?!

    Is Sword enrolled in summer school? If not, he's not technically a student, right? And it doesn't sound like he 'brandished' the bb gun, or was careless or angry.

    Any chance the Braves go after Josh Johnson?*

    He'd be a great pickup, but the Braves don't like to deal within their division (they'd hate to see the players they developed beating them down the line all too often in an unbalanced schedule). But they want an elite pitcher, and there's only a few out there. Greinke is more likely. The...

    OT: Tuition question

    http://www.msstate.edu/dept/audit/3102.html otherwise, it looks like most waivers are for entering freshmen: http://www.msstate.edu/dept/audit/91178.html hopefully someone on here has dealt with this before and can give you some insight.

    Braves mortgage future for a shot this year.

    i don't know why, guess it's a new change from the new CBA, but that's what's being reported.

    Braves mortgage future for a shot this year.

    Vizcainomost likely comes backas a reliever. When Beachy comes back (2014), Hanson and maybe Hudson will be gone. Delgado would be a solid #4 making the minimum for the next 3 years. no way in hell he's a long reliever or not a big loss. FYI, twitter is now suggesting this trade may be a hoax.
