    money

    In order for those figures to have any real meaning you must remove the FSC from the equation. A surcharge is not revenue, as it is levied to directly offset a cost. Simply put, it's someone else's money, and it's someone else's cost, it merely passes through your hands. With a FSC, the total...

    New Hacker threat

    Sorry, I'm kind of a network geek. :D Short answer, the DNS attack has nothing to do with how you connect to the Internet. Long answer... An ISP is an Internet Service Provider, so yeah, if you access the Internet through Verizon, they are providing Internet acess for you. But while it may be...

    New Hacker threat

    People have been hijacking Web sites for years using the same DNS protocol flaw that was "recently discovered". One of the more amusing instances was back in the early 90's when the FBI hijacked a software pirate site, just days after the same pirate group had hijacked whitehouse.gov. Before...

    New Dispatch System is really bad

    I'd sure hate to get the endorsement sheriff mad at me. Ya know what makes 'em mad at ? When you use one of the logos in a sentence in place of a word. Oh, they don't like that at all. That's a no-no. It's too cluttered, not enough "clear space" free of color, text or graphics around the...

    I delivered a load to Grand Rapids Monday morning, then slept most of the day (was way down on the board, anyway). Next day got an offer to Ontario, which I turned down cause I need to be going the other way. DOT physical time, for both me and the Sprinter, coming up real soon. After being up...

    jail as it should be

    And yet that's the very thing that Sheriff Joe's own commissioned study, as well as numerous other studies, have shown to not be true. The repeat offender rate is the same with frills, and without frills. If you really want to cut down on the recidivism rate, you need to just start...

    MLB.com has free shipping (cheap freight) on all Soft Touch by Alyssa Milano denim shorts this month. First base? Gotta work my way up there. :rolleyes:

    jail as it should be

    It's the satire that's confusing you. The Pilgrim is on Joe's side, and everything that comes with him. If you can make life unpleasant for inmates, what's wrong with a little murder and mayhem now and again? If you're a bad person and you end up in Joe's jail, you deserve whatever happens to...

    would you?

    It wasn't a shot at my northern neighbors, believe me. You'd have to know the history of the Toronto Blue Jays' GM, J.P. Ricciardi and the comments he made on his radio show last month regarding Adam Dunn. Toronto is likely the last place Dunn would ever go. A fan calls up and asks Ricciardi...

    Which Garmin Nuvi Model is Good?

    Read the comparison reviews to get an idea of the differences between NavTeq (Garmin, Magellan) and TeleAtlas (Tom-Tom) mapping. TeleAtlas is the clear choice for European map accuracy, NavTeq for North America.

    would you?

    Adam Dunn can pretty much only hit home runs. It's all or nothing with that guy, home run, or strike out. Too many drivers out here like that. They only want the home runs, not realizing (or caring) that it's the singles and doubles that wins games. The Reds, for example, have led the league...

    jail as it should be

    I don't get it. "Oh, there's MUCH to know about Sheriff Joe!" is right. Sorry, Leo, but Sheriff Joe's not only a nut, he's an out-of-control nut. A lot of the stuff in that e-mail (that's been circulating in various forms for a long time now) are true, but some are needlessly embellished, and...

    Yep, too many Adam Dunn's out here.

    Which Garmin Nuvi Model is Good?

    Phil, yeah, what Molly's pet said. :) I turn the voice off most of the time, too. I have, on several occasions, uttered something along the lines of, "You're stoopid, I'm not going that way." When I first got mine, the Traffic thing worked like, it would find a better route, and it would pop...

    would you?

    We can all come up with situations or reasons that can justify any load, any load at all, just like we can come up with reasons that make even the best loads not worth taking. But most of our loads aren't qualified with a bunch of "but if's". Nearly every question that gets asked here can come...

    would you?

    You can look at it as $750 with no FSC, or you can look at it as .83 per mile including FSC. Either way it's a luzer.

    Which Garmin Nuvi Model is Good?

    The biggest thing about the Traffic is actually what you don't see. When you are on a route the Garmin (and almost all other standalone units) are constantly recalculating looking for faster or shorter routes. You can be casually driving along and the Garmin might make a routing change 200-300...
