this will vary with different institutions.. If you deposit money into an account you will have access to it instantly with most banks, unless they don't do in office processing or have some sort of memo credit system in place. I can't think of many that don't. Credit unions aren't available to everyone tho and are still limited in lending as opposed to any fdic bank.

local banks have to be more scrupulous with whom they lend too, this is why they're often more successful and a recommended choice right now.

not everyone gets a loan if your bank only generates 400 million in combined assets and revenue.

1. The bank took longer to clear the check because it would have to send the check back to the bank where the check was first drawn, this is what we call float.. your credit union probably had a system in place that gives you a temporary "credit" until that check officially clears.. this is all pretty much null and void after 9/11, most banks can just send an image of the check eliminating your float.

2. you're two other points are mute really, you can find banks with similar advantageous pricing structures; the advantages of credit unions are they don't have to pay the outrageous taxes federal banks are paying, this helps keep their lending rates down, the important thing to remember though is a credit union is not an FDIC insured thing, if it goes under you're screwed. the nice thing is, its hard for a community driven thing to go under, but if all the lenders start short selling good luck.

I think this guy is over reacting a bit..

Of course they want your information, there is a very select target demographic that could be suckered in with such an expensive puzzle. It would be nice to have those addresses for new product releases and introductions. His cleverness just came off as annoying and somewhat done up, down rate this please.

can someone post if the user that posted this link uses a Mac ?

Seriously, could this article exhibit any more of a bias ?

Buell has always made amazing bikes, pretty hard to compete with the cheaper japanese bikes though but they always seemed to offer something a little more unique and different than their japanese counterparts.

I'm sad to see them go.

I believe the actual problem with LED's is the fact that lowering voltage output to an LED doesn't make the light dim.

I remember reading an article about this somewhere, it was a little over my head but a pretty interesting read if someone has the link available.

imo this is how government should work, not do the work for us, but promote and reward for the work that is done.

there needs to be a way to force the rendering agent to be used, this would make the plugin agent much more viable instead of having to call cf: in front of a web address. I can see this being a good thing but also could be a bad thing, this doesn't fix the browser vulnerabilities that are still out there, merely your rendering engine. I would hate for people to be misled into thinking their version of internet explorer 6 is the latest and greatest because of the chrome rendering agent.

the pictures with the hundreds of galaxies shown is the real kicker, you talk about sizing one's self up instantly.

amazing, i'm glad we have programs like this. I can say being in my 20's i'm actually pretty sad too have missed the excitement of the apollo program's in the 60's and 70's. i can only hope i get to witness similar events in my lifetime.

rotary engines.

Sometimes its pretty nice to be the end user of a big problem.

I feel sorry for those poor sysadmins

do people actually use these websites ?

I've seen atleast 2 or 3 different search engine comparison websites, please stop doing them !

What the press publishes and how American's really feel are two completely different ideas.

don't generalize.

isn't this article just common sense ?

it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to offer higher cost services to a deflated customer base.

needs more comic sans imo.

supply and demand, if there's a need for alternative energies companies will develop it and prices will lower.

all the hackers have grown up and work desk jobs.

if you're not contracted out to test for vulnerabilities and exploits then there better be some other incentive involved since you're no longer living in your parents basement.

there are plenty of different ways to monitor web page clicks without using a third party site that completely masks a link.

He mentioned old school and then quoted 2005, i dont know if its just me but the idea of a botnet is certainly nothing new, and definately spawned from IRC.. FWIW you could date the article 1999 and throw in mentions of wingates a couple of times and sprinkle on some SOCKS proxy information for flavor and i'd know no different.

Agreed. I'm sorry I gave this guy more traffic than he deserves, if i could down rate this i would.

its just a standard email and that image could probably be easily found by just google image searching

this is a great point made by someone that has never worked in IT..

Nevermind the fact that nearly all proprietary software on a system may or may not function correctly with the release of a service pack or a new browser, testing should always be done before hand which is why auto updates are turned OFF.

on the IE6 front i completely agree, i have a redirect page setup with a link to IE 7 for our company website.. IE7 isnt the newest and greatest thing by any means but its a whole lot better than its predecessor.

the Limewire people could have been a little friendlier but how does that justify the artists stealing their entire pizza box ?

he got what he deserved, go write a song about it and then send me the torrent link. If i really like it i'll go buy it, or maybe see you live at a venue where you perform, purchase the drinks and maybe an overpriced tshirt.

regardless of who is right or wrong here, she's going about this the right way. Let the public know about it and she'll get her water if a big enough stink is created about it all.

i wonder if an 80 year old IT artisan crafted those cables by hand.

not really a new feature, you could always search for torrents... just a feature made easier !
