Hey stevedroid, thanks for the links. How is your 1440x900 HUD hack different from Malakius'? Does your version fix the mine problem? Just thought I would ask before downloading and replacing an existing mod. TIA @ GiygasUnlimited: Link (http://lu...  [Read More]

We get less than 10% of our oil from the middle east. The majority comes from Venezuela. That's not what this (http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_impcus_a2_nus_ep00_im0_mbbl_m.htm) says. PS: Thanks NAFTA! :) So blaming the inflated prices...  [Read More]

But, I still can't see this as blatant pandering.That's fine, but I can't see it as anything else. The economics don't add up so I can't believe that economic advisors are pushing this. The only thing that makes sense to me (and I'd love to be wrong...  [Read More]

With the price of Crude rising, the price of gas goes up, and the Government gets the brilliant idea to tax the gas more! Not quite. The idea is that they suspend the existing tax. No one is talking about increasing the tax. Brilliant idea, gas is a...  [Read More]

So wait a second Achilles. Are you saying that there is nothing that we can do to lower the gas prices? Not exactly. Decreasing demand will ease pressure on supply which will result in lower prices...until demand (use) starts going up again. But fr...  [Read More]

Oh, I knew he'd give an endorsement to someone--that was a political inevitability given the delegates he held. A small number, to be sure, but in a race with this relative level of closeness, no delegate is unimportant. More than a few of them had a...  [Read More]
