  • Uhm. I can count. and its 36% faster. take 22 +33% on the windows calc. or, A 30 percent increase in a number would be 1.30 (or 1.3) times the original number so do 22 * 1.36= 29.92

  • When an item is sold out; its a foregone sale. Nintendo is not doing this on purpose. They may not be balls-out trying to fix it, they know 2.4 mil units/month will satisfy demand at some point. My guess:
    Wii will be readily available Jan/Feb 2009. One more Holiday season should put the supply with demand. In reply to: "The Wii is still sold out"

    In a free country, I will do my Windows bashing wherever I please. I believe you are looking for Cuba. It is about 90 miles south of Miami. Speaking of Miami...windows is terrible. In reply to: "Is Microsoft preparing a Zune update?"

  • What is a Zune?
    I googled it, i know what it is now. When did the zune come out? Xbox 360, Vista, now this? Is Amtrak running Microsoft now? These products are train wrecks. I own a 360 (well, on my second replacement) and that thing is terrible. I need to call to get the one i have now fixed but its such a hassle, and long wait. But the year is almost up, and warranty repair cost them money, so i guess ill do it soon. Since buying a 360...i have replaced my HP with a macbook, and bought my second ipod, and vista...well it was on my HP. Oh, I forgot one other disaster they had this year: HD-DVD. Lets just all hope MS doesnt announce plans for a nuclear power plant, or space station. In reply to: "Is Microsoft preparing a Zune update?"

  • Taxation no representation.
    That is exactly right. I am a Tax Economist. The NY Law violates Constitutional law. Amazon is being treated the same as the colonials by the British empire leading up to the revolution. In reply to: "Amazon.com sues N.Y. over new online sales tax"

  • My favorite tax of all time...
    Voluntary tax...

    Lotteries are most often run by governments or local states. The astronomically high odds against winning have also led to the epithets of a "tax on stupidity", "math tax" or the oxymoron "voluntary tax" In reply to: "Tax-free Internet shopping days could be numbered"
