   Netbooks just seem like a solution needing a problem to me. My kids have a netbook that I bought them for Christmas last year, but the greatly prefer using a regular sized computer or my iPad.

   Thank you. I use the total karma number as a quick indicator of whether or not I am getting replies to an active conversation. That works for me since there are usually upvotes if there are replies to a comment.

    I don't think it is about putting money in as much as it is about putting time in. So to shift your question a little, how many people that have money put their time into something useful? I think this number is quite high. Whether it be bu

    You have only wasted 100 hours in the last five years?!? Holy crap that is awesome efficiency. That is only about 2.5 weeks of going down a fruitless path.

    I answered yes, but "jaxn" is not my legal name. It is however my twitter handle, and I don't know a better online identity than a public twitter account. (Also, my personal site is pretty much the first result for "jaxn" no matter where y
