C'mon, we all really know it's going to be a FPS and you get to play a Jawa. 3 months after the game is released, you get to play a Death Star Mouse Bot.

Seriously, we are WAY overdue for a serious space sim like X-wing and TIE were. I'd even by cool with just a straight up rehash of the originals only with modern graphics and sound.

If you go to IRS.GOV you will find that you are STILL paying the same TAX RATE this year as last year. However, the "TAX CUT" you claim to see is really only the government adjusting your withholding's. You are still paying the SAME tax rate. You will have to account for your "TAX CUT" on your taxes when you file them next year. If you got a check back from the IRS for 1000 dollars, expect to get whatever you've been getting added to your paycheck this year deducted from that 1000 dollars. Same thing happened this year with the stimulus from last year. You had to account for it on your taxes this year and it was deducted from whatever return you had coming back to you.
Eugene,
Obama giving a speech is NOT want I want to hear. I know his plan already. I've read what I've seen so far on the budget. Now, if you make it a question and answer period, now we're talking. Campaign commercials I can do without. Talking about the nuts and bolts of the economy and his budget plan is when the people are served better. Face the Nation, Chris Wallace, etc, etc. He can show up there on Sunday's and make all the news circuits. Here's some questions that Obama should answer.
1. Why does Geitner still have a job? You said that he would unveil a detailed fix for the toxic assets on 10 Feb. It is now Mar and still no plan. Time says April. How can you say he is doing a great job and get no plan YET???
2. Related to question 1. Why haven't you filled the remaining Treasury positions that you are required to name?
3. What is your stance on the Constitutionality of what the House voted on raising taxes 90% on bonuses of TARP receiving companies?
I can dream someday the press will show up and ask real questions but I guess will have to see what 60 minutes comes up with (not good based on early reports).
Actually Bosco, Obama EFFECTIVELY DID NOT lift the ban because the ban went back into effect when he signed the Omnibus bill a few days later. I guess our elected officials did not read the bill in full and it was missed. Another oops to add to the long and growing list of oops'.
Anyone else think that Jessie is a machine? Twice in this episode she moved a table lamp to a specific spot.

Being a P-3 pilot, that was just horrible the scene with the Navy pilots!! There are no P-3's stationed or detached to Los Angeles (unless you count Point Magu). Naval Aviator's are NOT allowed to wear flight suits off base unless it is to go straight home. Their name tags were like nothing we wear (where were the pilot wings??). Just horrible but nice to hear P-3's mentioned!!
Still waiting on Spike HD. Only way to see Star Wars in HD! Weather CH HD would be awesome as well.
Olbermann's ratings have soared???? Riiiiggghhtt. I guess it's not hard to double your ratings when so few watch in the first place. Does he even have 6 figures in viewers yet?
But will it be in HD so it can air on Discovery HD?
Someone is actually watching Keith Olberman?? Who is getting more viewers? Katie or Keith?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
