In SFC you could use tractor beams to stop enemy ships, transport mines in the path of your enemy, use the tractor beam as "point defense" to stop incoming missiles, target particular shield quadrants of the enemy, make high-speed impulse turns, etc. It was fairly decent "naval"...

So I've heard "16,000 new IRS agents to process this new system."

How does the IRS figure into this?

Does the 880 have more or less functionality than the One?

The space battles are "Star Fleet Command," lite. The ground "away team" missions are Star Wars Online. Actually, the space battles may not be as "lite" as I think. As you get better ships you are able to do more of the "swiss army knife" things you were able...

I certainly liked it better the second time. The guy got shit on the whole movie.... not knowing how it would end made it grueling. Knowing it had a happy ending the second time through made it easier to watch.

Watched it again, decided I really like it. The drama teacher is shat upon at every turn... yet he perseveres.

I recommend.

Someone needs to tell me how much this is going to cost me so I can adjust spending accordingly. If I now have to buy health insurance, I can't be buying something else.

Gosh darn simple math.

I just read that Catt owns the 880... I bought a Harmony One about 4 months ago, and have loved it ever since. Touch screen, macro functions, and you can make customized touch-screen buttons for your favorite channels. Macro functions: if I want to watch TV, I press my customized "Watch TV&quo...

I strongly suspect Democrats are going to get their asses kicked in the next election cycle.

And then when Republicans have 2/3 of the House, there will be a Constitutional Amendment making government run health care illegal.

So here's the thing.... if small companies aren't required to cover all employees, then the employees, part time or otherwise, are required to cover themselves. A lot of part time employees will be working only to pay for their government-required insurance, now. Which wont even kick in for another...

Some TV news show just said that Caterpillar Corporation has reported this new nationalized health care is going to cost them an additional $100 million a year. Which will be passed on to consumers. Just want to reiterate that. Maybe they will lay some people off to compensate. That is a good idea ...

Companies with fewer than 50 employees are exempt from WHAT requirement.... to provide coverage, or to pay that $2k penalty?

One thing I am curious about... does this mean ALL business must now offer health insurance to ALL employees?

I know someone on this forum who will be absolutely screwed, if so.

Looks like Obama got his nationalized health care passed. Enjoy your higher taxes. Enjoy the cost of all goods and services increasing since these additional costs will be passed on to consumers. http://www.google.com/url?sa=....DZ5NyFw • Insurance companies will no longer be able to cancel enrolle...
