    Stumped! Math help Please!

    If one dollar grows by 1000%, did it become $10.00 or $100.00?<br /><br />My guess is that it is $10.00 but that does not feel right. My reasoning is that if $1.00 increases by 100% it becomes $2.00. If you carry that out in a lineal fashion the answer is $10.00. I know you cannot continue to...

    Pet Peeve (one amonst several)

    Why do so many members fail to post their location? I mean, it's not exactly like a privacy issue.<br /><br />A lot of times, it find it interesting to compare the subject of a posting with the locale of the poster.<br /><br />Straighten up you laggards!!! :p

    Opening window size Revisited.

    This subject was discussed some time before. As I recall there were no known solutions to the ever changing opening window size in Internet Explorer.<br /><br />Maybe with the passage of time some knowledge has been gained or someone new will be able to respond.<br /><br />It is hard to believe...

    Quite a Combination!

    Youth, beauty and Talent. Last night I watched Serena Williams just barely beat Maria Sharapova in a Womens semi-final in the Australian Open. Although my allegience was to my American Countryman I could not help but admire the ferocity and the power of a mere eleventh grader. I felt kinda of...

    Any recommendations for a USB scanner?

    I want to get my Dad (93 y/o) an inexpensive USB scanner. Does anyone have any experience. I know the prices are pretty good for some of them but a few years ago I had a bad experience with an inexpensive parallel port scanner and I don't want to repeat that.
