    Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

    The title and summary says it all. I need a recommendation for a wireless mouse and keyboard which has no problems sending/receiving signals through a wall and also has about a 50' range. Can anyone recommend me a product or at least lead me in the right direction to find one myself?

    Line Item Veto revisited

    This. We have checks and balances for a very good reason and this is one of the big ones. This country can do a lot of shit to fuck itself up, but the checks and balances that we have in government, while not perfect, is a system which does keep us afloat quite well.

    "The Boss" letter making the rounds

    I delete chain mail. So should you. Nothing good will come from this thing. All it will do is piss a lot of people off for 15 minutes and then it will be forgotten. Waste of time and energy. Focus on things that actually help instead.

    Are there still any hopeless romantics who support the bailout?

    People need to stop watching the stock market like a hawk. All of this day trading BS and spotlight focus on those numbers every hour is causing a lot of issues. Things take time. Our econ is based far too much on speculation and the stock market is just one prime example of that. It currently...

    The Obama Economy. As the Dow keeps dropping, the President is running out of people to blame.

    I didn't read this thread, but I will offer a response to the question in the thread title. That is, ownership and blame should be at the bottom of everyone's list of priorities right now. None of you should even be thinking about it. Instead, all of your thoughts and efforts should be...

    how many points has the stock market dropped since Obama took office?

    That "s*it bill" literally saved public education in FL amongst many other things. Trust me. I have access to the numbers that hardly anyone else has access too. We were completely screwed if it wasn't for that bill.

    Would now be a good time to start deporting illegals?

    You can continue to hate it all you want. It will never change anything. There are enough people in the US who feel a certain way about this matter and they have every right to do so just like you have every right to feel about it the way you do. These people deserve just as much representation...

    Obama seeks $634B over 10 years for health care

    The system is broken because we allowed insurance to be insurance too much. People are not cars and they should be treated as such. The priorities are very different and they should not be looked at as just a revenue stream. Most Americans believe that their health and the health of their family...

    Would now be a good time to start deporting illegals?

    Tell you what. Let's just end this right here. The day that the government manages to effectively solve this problem in the manner which you describe you can go ahead and send me a PM. In mean time, you can keep disillusioning yourself by blaming liberals for preventing the execution of your...

    The 2% Illusion

    If the combination of these two quotes coming from a man who is typically respected by both parties doesn't show that our true answers lie somewhere in the middle then I don't know what does. Individually, these quotes could easily be criticized as leaning too far to one side especially if they...

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (WotLK, where do you play, General BS and all that)

    The problem with your viewpoint is that you are blending two problems together when they should be treated separately. Problem 1: It is difficult to find a healer for a group/raid. Problem 2: The power of OOC regen has trivialized the challenge healers face with mana regen so much that...

    Social Security: Years of screwing the poor workers

    I'd have to think about that for a while. I think it really boils down to the details regarding how we make it so congress does not have as much flexible control over it. At the end of the day, all I really want is there to be a nearly risk free backup plan for retirement and that is a very...

    Social Security: Years of screwing the poor workers

    What exactly do you want to change? "Privatizing" can mean a great many different things.

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (WotLK, where do you play, General BS and all that)

    It needs to be nerfed. I have not run into anything even close to a mana issue even once since I started playing in Northrend. Now that I have much better gear it is completely absurd. Hell, most raids I don't even end up drinking more than 3 times total when I should be drinking after every...

    Would now be a good time to start deporting illegals?

    Do you believe that differences in skin color and language alone is reasonable? Or do you believe that is abusing their power? Where is the line drawn?
