Half of my friends use laptops that are actually company laptops, but they use them around the house and for anything and everything. None of these computers are Apples. Anyone know what Apple's market share is for all PC sales including c

I don't think lack of articles submitted is a problem. What's wrong with lurking and posting a few comments here and there to gain the karma needed for posting? Another idea is that posting one article a day could be free, but ti costs kar

For my MMORPG, Star Sonata, I get very close to 50% conversion (downloading the free trial) on my landing page: http://www.starsonata.com/welcome.html The weird thing (to me) is that out of the people who download the trial, only 1 out of

What I dislike is when I launch a program like Photoshop, which initially opens up it's window, but it then has to hit the disk for about 10 seconds or so before it can really load, so of course, as soon as I launch it, I alt-tab away to a

Plays very nicely. One comment is that it's not obvious that you can go through the rings in any order, so the first level where you might want to do this seems extremely hard at first and is jarring compared to the previous couple of level

The Bell Curve cites studies that say that raw IQ is the single best predictor of future job performance, higher than experience, interview, and everything else. Too bad it's illegal to give IQ tests as part of the interview process. I thi

I agree, meat is a must. =) But you can get frozen chicken at Costco for very cheap, along with Cajun sausages and frozen meatballs which are also quite reasonable. A large meal that you cook at home can be done with 15 minutes of prep an

600 a month rent is what I'm paying, splitting a large rental house with 3 other people in Santa Clara, so definitely doable. I agree that the food is really high. If you are really trying, the one time cost of a rice cooker and a 10 lb ba
