Thanks nfs!

Its too general in built up city areas, you get too many matches (allows for 5 or 6 zip digits only) Need a Street level search.or ability to search by full zip: 12345-1234

Anyone know of a US Property site where you can SEARCH based on a specific address, street name or full zip code? Curious if MLS past price histories are available on the net, or is this restricted to realtors only?

Thanks for the helpful suggestions, especially: Red_y & vic & nfs & Calgary_Girl. 1. Real Estate wise, any guesses on the premium for big city life, perhaps another US$50k-100k? 2. Costs of living premium for a big city? Assuming one owns and not rents, is not a car owner, wondering what...

Will be applying from Europe, seems to take about a year from here. The points system is very generous now, have a degree?, meet the age criteria?, and its reasonably straightforward or so I've been advised (reliable source). Question for the wise: In Canada :- 1. How far will US$24k go...

A mix of Finance and IT? Recommend Trading, particularly Interest Rate Derivatives. A solid mix of IT and Finance, lots of ex engineer types (Nasa/JPL gurus) MBA optional unless you can find a killer practical course that admirably covers the markets.

Was in a similar boat Eric. But decided to take a few years out and do something that I had intended only to do @ ER. So now it'll take me a little longer (40ish). But I think it'll make me less crazy, and add some useful life perspective. While I feel I have killer drive, you can still get...

I can concur, have tried several times over a two week period, get the same error message using Netscape, FireFox or IE. (am overseas at the moment also). Very curious - you get redirected to this link - with the page text below :- https://www.annualcreditreport.com/notfound.htm :- "The page...

On the other hand - fatalists might tell you that its all relative . . for instance all you had to be was some happy go lucky commuter in London this morning . . .merrily passing through Russell Square . . . . . .if your card is marked . . .

In Europe – definitely -- 400% appreciation in 10 years! But I listened to the 'experts', didn't I! . . . And Experts kept miscalling the peak . . . By the time I realized their opinions were just that - appreciation began to slow. Now rental yields were still ok at the time, but it would have...

HONKIE: How did you set about locating work in those parts?

Consider that while Bonds such as Treasuries can and often are purchased by individual consumers, their scale is geared more towards institutional investors like pension funds or foreign interests like central banks - where liquidity is key. CD's are illiquid (non-broker) so can't be sold on an...

Questions I would ask first :- Will it drastically reduce your time to ER? Or will the 250k be eaten away by taxes paid to uncle sam? Do you already work in a major city on a possible WMD hit list? Yes its a mad idea, but it might actually be safer than working in Saudi these days . . . and...

Surprisingly, prior to 911 the US authorities did not have any single tracking system to prove residency, particularly with regards to outbound dates - out of the US. It was up to the resident to keep good and accurate records. Now though, airline passenger data is archived, and the INS(UCSIS)...

Appear to have touched a nerve- not the intention – sorry! I had edited an earlier message (Gratefuled above) indicating I took the FireFox route. In a round about way, I was asking the question what's the future for 3rd party tools (free or not) and how effective are they really? As not...

Even Microsoft see its about time that virus/spyware security (& updates) be included in the OS. There should be hardware locking of system files on a hard drive, similar to how the BIOS write-protects the boot-sector. And memory allocated to executable code should only be populated by files...

Traditionally have been afraid to rely on Anti-spyware/anti-virus apps because they offer a false sense of security :- 1. Frequently too slow to prevent world wide virus/spyware outbreaks. 2. Frequently register false positives for adware&spyware - sometimes even viruses. They can block...

Congrats Gratefuled on being recently FIREd (literally). Downloaded Firefox, so far its pretty good - and only a 4.x MB foot-print - nice! FireFox is better built to work with 'Load Images' turned off. Another reason for the original post was to look at speeding up page loading and minimize...

Yep - suspect it was a 'buffer overrun' style attack that set in motion seed code to kick-off download of the actual Spyware. There was also a CAB file created with an activex - suspect this was a follow on to the initial attack - more spyware maybe or an additional app to enable macro level OS...

Have had many of those days. Thanks but please don't go to any great trouble. Ideally I'd like to mimic the APPLY button on the Internet Options dialog, so that the immediate current session of IE is updated. I don't know how to do this though by executing reg files manually, it would only...

Suckered with Spyware is recent days. Slickest PC takeover I've ever seen. NO obvious email attachments, downloads, java applets, or new plugins were involved. Suspect it was a rogue activeX control stealthily downloaded from a popup webpage. But could also have been an open Port/Dcom style...

Food for thought. Thanks everybody. At this rate I'll be married (and richly so) in no time. Who says there's no leprechaun gold at the end of the rainbow . . .

Good article. Although the experts seemed to contradict each other at times. Are you a betting man Notth? Which City is most likely to be hit first in a WMD attack in your opinion?

Interesting . . However how would you envisage the letter(s) being worded to completely cover a ‘term of residence’ i.e. two years? Embassies may not always monitor the exact in and out dates of residents . . ? It also doesn’t guarantee that one lived at the aforementioned primary residence...

Anyone ever get quizzed by uncle Sam about a past (overseas) primary-residence and have to produce receipts? Would welcome suggestions for IRS record keeping to aid proof of primary residence plus use of clauses. Much of their paperwork list below doesn't apply, i.e. don't drive/vote/pray, and...
