Copying my comment from the Consumerist:
It’s painfully obvious that most of the people leaving comments here don’t know much about car stereo installation.
Is it a bit half-assed? Yep. Should they have ordered a wiring harness adapter? Sure. However, if you don’t have one on hand and your customer wants the instant gratification, what are you […]

The government is determined to force all Americans to share the burden of losses caused by the financial industry con-artists and housing speculators. Though many Americans DID act responsibly, by wisely refusing to buy homes they couldn’t afford, and wisely refusing to invest in worthless mortgage-related securities, they are nonetheless being forced to […]

It’s really sad that McCain appears to have a chance at winning the general election, regardless of the Democratic candidate. That should be impossible at this point, but I am reminded of a statement made on the front page of Britain’s “Daily Mirror” after the 2004 election: “How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?”
There […]

This is a really good question! I know someone who is 36 years old and has never had a job for more than three (3) months at a time and is chronically unemployed. This person then finds “friends” or “enablers” who provide this person with a place to live and gas money for […]

I guess that everyone has forgotten that “it depend on what the meaning of the word is…is” and the fact that Bill outright sold all our military secrets to China. The Chinese couldn’t even get a rocket to fly before we helped them…a communist, oppressive government. The Clinton’s are for the same scorched earth win […]

Honestly, Nintendo has had a year to get DLC up and running and they simply haven’t even tried. I have GH3 for Wii and I keep hearing that there WILL be DLC soon, but every month that goes by I doubt it more and more. I love my Wii, but this is just […]

There’s something particularly annoying about creating straw-man arguments for your opponents positions, and then (surprise) being able to prove them wrong. It takes more than a little equivocation to say “well, if we changed the electoral college to proportional representation (which it isn’t, nor has ever been), Obama’s still winning in the electoral college.” […]

You people scare the hell out of me. Stop your idiotic collectivist mindset and stop using terms like “we” and “our.” It makes no sense at all. Think about it-you might want some form of regulation, or other form of government confication of land, while another one of you might want somethning […]

Bayes’ Theorem is just a mathematical formalization of Occam’s Razor, which, I think iucraigmc rejects because it (as anything else, including faith) can be wrong. But, it provably, mathematically has the lowest achievable error rate for a given body of evidence. If you deviate from it, you have to accept that you are more likely […]

Argh, the ignorance in this thread is infuriating. There are so many problems with your statement I don’t even know where to start.
1. Rounding only affects your total purchase, so even if every purchase were rounded up it wouldn’t cost you 4% more. If your total was $31.28 it would be rounded to $31.30, an […]
