I used to use this movie to test out prospective girlfriends. If they found humor in it, they were worth a second look. If it was WTF face all the way, there was never going to be any compatibility.

I've never had good luck with WD drives, from the 1990s through the present. At first, I had no luck with Seagates, then they seemed to do pretty well up until recently, where now I'm seeing some radically bad results. I wish IBM

Another cherry-picked study that will be refuted in the coming years. What happens when you distribute money: it dissipates and poverty for all results. But don't take it from me, Comrades!

The market is people; the market responds emotionally; .: the market often gets distinctive products in preference to functional ones. If you can handle a death metal analogy, it's why more people listen to In Flames than Sacramentum.

It's no surprise that Baby Boomers are a disaster in every way possible; after all, they were the spoiled children of the victors in a devastating war. However, look to their parents and you may have some sympathy for the boomers. The

My observations are the same. Especially the significant errors that reveal a superficial approach. I have another thought to offer: I love music. There's a reason that when I listen, it is either when doing nothing or doing nothing co

People go to great lengths to try to prove that business isn't business. And yet all of my experience says: business is business. If they're catering to employee needs, that's a non-financial benefit to the job that they'

I don't agree that political correctness "equals" being polite. It's possible to be polite and not be PC. It's in fact possible to not be PC and not be offensive at all (note: politeness was originally a way of deal

Reddit's real product has always been its hipness. You introduce something on Reddit, and 1000 bots-or-people "upvote" it, and suddenly the press picks up on the story. How does this translate into dollars and cents? Reddit c
