What does the TC number mean on the receipt at WalMart?
[2008-04-09 22:12:50]

Q: I know TC stands for Transaction Code. I want to know the meanings of the groups of numbers following the TC. This is at the bottom of every receipt.

A: Probably similar to the routing number on a cheque. Compare the receipt to another store's within close proximity and than compare it with a store an hour or so away, you might find the number changes in a pattern to indicate store number, district, etc.

Q&A: help on which lcd tv to buy and 60hz question? | TV Trends Daily

I currently have a Sharp LCD 720p and im thinkin about getting either an LG 42 inch or Samsung 40 inch 1080p on black friday from walmart. The LG is 42LD400, but i cannot find a real review or anything about it online so i think they made a mistake and its really the 42LD450. when i click on the ebay icon next to it, it shows up searching for the 450. and the samsung is the LN40C500. both have basically the same specs and im leaning towards the LG just because ive seen good reviews on them and my friend had a samsung and it was very pixely(i dont think that is a word) and other people have thought they are too. but idk if that was just those models or what. also people have said that 60hz arent good but my sharp is a 60hz and i dont see blur or anything. please help. here is the link to the black friday ad that im looking at

http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/walmart-black-friday-ad.html

you can look at the list and the ad scan. Both TVs are good quality. But the 120Hz, and above ratings that they give you on higher end model TVs are a gimmick. There are 60Hz TVs that will offer better image quality when compared to higher Hz TVs. Why you ask? Because there is no such thing as a 120Hz, or 240Hz TV sets. They get the 120Hz ratings from a digital processor that they install into the TV sets, that are designed to smooth out the jitteriness that can become apparent on LCD TV sets with high speed motion. All appliances are 60Hz because a 110/120 volt electrical outlet outputs a 60Hz frequency. Sometimes the 120/240Hz processor that they put into TV sets can actually degrade picture quality even. So your best bet is to look for the TV that offers the best image quality to you. If you want to see how a TV will perform in fast action, then the best measurement to look at, is the pixel response time. The lower the number, the better. A TV with a .8 second response time will react a bit slower then a TV with a .6 response time.

Government succumbs: Walmart, MNC retailers in

Brushing off protests from  Ministers, both from Congress and allies, and ready to take in its stride warning  from the Opposition, the Government on Thursday approved 51 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail. The major policy decision will pave the way for global giants like Walmart to open mega stores in cities with population of over one million.

Interpreted as a major signal from the Government of its intention to go ahead with key reforms negating an image of policy paralysis, the decision will be a game-changer for the estimated $590 billion (`29.50 lakh crore) retail market.

The Cabinet also approved the Companies Bill, 2011, which aims to update corporate laws in the country and introduce modern concepts like mandatory CSR and class action suits.

Sources said several Congress Ministers like AK Antony, Jairam Ramesh and Virbhadra Singh opposed the move, but were convinced by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee that India’s tottering economy desperately  needed a mega FDI push .
