I think the "kindle is awesome" crowd are people who use a reader to read novels. The Kindle is simply almost identical to the experience reading a printed book. However good the iPad is as a reader, it is not even close to the same as a

I think that Cs should go back to being average. Even at the college level at MOST schools the average grade is a B. C is the middle grade on a 4.0 a scale so that is what most people should receive. It is a shame that a 3.5 in non engin

I am all for hiring someone else to do the design. I am interested in eventually doing it myself but I just don't have the time to learn at the moment. It is just a more efficient use of my time and money to collaborate.

So from moral prospective is it better to support Android or iOS at this point? Its a fine case of damned if you do damned if you don't.

I haven't seen the movie in a while now but I remember Cobb or maybe Mag placing the top inside of a safe, spinning it, and locking it up while they were in limbo. The top would appear to spin forever at in dreams closer to reality or real

I believe that this should be applied to almost anything you want to learn in your life. In my opinion it is almost always a waste of time to read and study something if you are not immediately applying the knowledge. I think this is just

Yea that definitely does. I am trying to live my life after I graduate from school the same way. My biggest fear is sitting at a desk doing nothing of importance for the next 40 years. Being from a small town and living a pretty boring l

I feel like this almost everyday and my girl friend tells me snore terribly. I also fit the thick neck description. Where do you get something checked out like this cheaply?

Thanks for the great reply. Back in high school I used to work at a real nice hotel doing Bell and Valet service. I remember being quite similar to your experience as a bartender. I wasn't dancing but the job had its own charm in running

Did working manual labor help you figure things out? I am seriously considering working a job such as the one you described part time to pay the bills after school while I try to build a freelancing business.

After just a couple years of smoking occasionally at school mainly while drinking I can say that my health has seriously been affected far more than I ever thought it would be. I am constantly stuffed up and coughing shit up.

I am finding more and more as a 21 year that all the answers that you need come from within. I can read the internet all day long for advice about my life but at the end of the day I am really starting to think I am the only one that knows

Thanks that seems like good advice. I am living in Pittsburgh with my girlfriend so I am not entirely alone. However, she is busy with graduate school and I am severely lacking in the friends department.

I agree. Its pretty impossible to argue that Apple's strategy isn't working for them. They make marvelous products.

I just checked into this and I think you are right, but this is all the more reason why there are going to be ads no matter what.

The market for people tech savvy enough to use hulu.com is probably a bit larger than you give it credit for. I really don't see this as an addition to cable either but rather a replacement and for $10 a month that is a hell of a discount.

Yep, if you have a PS3 try to go to hulu.com on the browser.

This is exactly how I feel about it. It is very close to the a-la-carte cable that I want. Who wants to be forced to watch things at certain times?

by jpdbaugh 16y ago
People pay close to a hundred dollars a month for similar and non a-la-carte amounts of content that has about twice as many adds. Its called cable. Does $10 a month really seem like that much money to you for something like this? I don'

You are right I shouldn't have lumped LSD in with Cocaine and Heroine. I have heard before that LSD doesn't even have any real side affects. Is that true?

by jpdbaugh 16y ago
I agree that other drugs are definitely harder to obtain, however I still believe that the people who would try and use harder drugs would remain the same. I just don't think the demand is that high for hard drugs such as LSD, cocaine, her

I am also using a Macbook Pro and I have an iPhone. I am more than happy with both of them. There is just no way I would ever consider waiting in line for a day for the iPhone 4. My 3gs can last until I can get conveniently get one.
