    Hormel sues over SpamArrest

    I believe precedent says that a word/words can be trademarked by two different companies so long as they don't/can't/won't compete in the same product category. That's why you have more than one Apple, etc. AFAIK, software and food will never quite be in the same product category. :)...

    your other career

    First choice was engineering, and I have that one covered pretty well. First love was music, and though I think I had the talent to be a professional musician, I didn't realistically think I could make the same money. And since engineering was my second love as well... it was a pretty easy...

    Practical suggestions for my house

    How is travertine marble floor tile for wear and durability? I like the idea of it being honed instead of polished... wouldn't be as slick, so it might be ok for kitchen/bathroom duty unless it's going to be demolished quickly by the foot traffic.

    Liberia here we go again!

    I don't have a problem with people calling bush an idiot and expressing their dislike for him and his administration, but I do have a problem with the terms "shit for brains, asshole, stupid son of a bitch..." We wouldn't tolerate that kind of language being used against another forum member...

    woot woot, got another pair of amps

    Well, I added an RB-991 to the stack today. I need another one of those... should catch another great deal sometime in the next few months. This one came up unexpectedly. I also added a pair of maggie 2.7/QR's to the mix. They'll probably serve duty as the new center channel (in a strange...

    Practical suggestions for my house

    ok, I say the ubatuba black granite (or however it's spelled) today... looks pretty nice. I did some budget figuring, and I think I can swing granite for the kitchen and all bathroom countertops. Contrary to what I was thinking, I have it on good word from a few maids I know that carpet...

    Let's see how badly we can screw the middle class (again).

    Since I'm salaried, I suppose I missed that one. :( Salary pretty much sucks. At my job, if you follow the letter of the company policies, you don't get paid for overtime at all but you do get docked for time you miss... no sick days either. Thankfully, the particular location where I'm...
