Crying babies on a plane are the equivalent of torture.

Let's remember - we were all "shitlings" at some point in the past. I guarantee we all annoyed someone at some time in our childhood with our behavior, involuntary or not. That said, responses like "put them in the cargo hold" indicate to me this is not a serious thread, so never mind.

Attention ATOT Bostonians

New building, good location. Haven't stayed there but the few times I've been in seems like a really nice building. It's in a commercial park so dead after hours, some bad traffic around the morning / afternoon rush hours.

24 Hours in NYC.. Where to eat?

For breakfast, in the area you're staying, I llike Pigalle at 8th and 48/49th is great, not sure if they do brunch but what i've had there has been solid. For something fancier, I second Norma's in Le Parker Meridien. The breakfasts tend to be more like elaborate desserts, the PB&C Waffle...

Dear selfish, ignorant, moronic jerks who wait til the last minute to merge:

I've seen that exact same scenario, but reversed, where it was the semi taking up both lanes to stop traffic cutting around.

if classic cars are so beautiful, why don't manufacturers just remake them?

Yup, my '70 Challenger only has a driver's side mirror. Pretty sure passenger side was an option, though.

Do you know or friends have (or HAD) an unusual/cool job?

I suppose this all depends on your definition of cool, but: 1.) Sternman on a lobster boat for a couple summers. Dragging the pots in, refilling the bait bags, Measuring the catch, tossing the crabs overboard, etc. 2.) Engineering Technician for the DOD at the now defunct US Army Materials...

Questions for people with masters/doc. degrees in psychology related fields.

My wife is a school psychologist - she has a CAGS, but has told me more than once that all the extra time / work it would take her to get a PhD would not be worth the relatively small increase in compensation (for her anyway).

Why is Keurig coming out with a new format (Vue)

And if you're lucky enough to be able to buy through an office supply company (company owner FTW), you can get the boxes of 24 k-cups for $8-10 on sale ($0.33 - $0.42 per cup). The small sizes do suck sometimes though.

Saints caught running "bounty" program that awarded injuring players

No one ever wants to hear this, they just want to gang up on the team that got caught. Not that it makes it right if others are doing it, but it at least illustrates that having a "holier than thou" attitude against the caught offenders can be a little hypocritical.

UPDATE: Sister's car totalled; Received $33k; Bought 2010 Merc E350; Love insurance!

Regardless of what you get from an insurance company, I'm assuming it's better to get something rather than nothing (if there was no insurance industry). :) That said, the couple times I've used car insurance it's worked okay for me. A used car (Nissan Sentra) that I paid $5000 for and drove...

Buying a new mattress, temper pedic or memory foam?

Front licence plate law....fail

Unless, like me, you still use the old "green" plates, that were issued singly up until they were phased out in 1987 I believe. Since I was only given one plate and it's in good shape, i just need to use that one on the rear position and I'm good to go.

I don't like it either. I value height pixels more than width pixels, especially since I don't really watch movies on my laptop. Two windows side-by-side does little for me as even the few times I would need that scenario, A) I find most widescreens are still too narrow to comfortably fit...

Spam Spoofing

So if this is part of the header info: and 209.12.118.68 is not our static IP (which it isn't), then they are not coming from us then, yes? I looked at a bunch of the returned emails, and there are all sorts of different IP's in the header as the "Received from". As long as these aren't...

We don't, we never really have had that much of an issue receiving spam (at least not that IMF couldn't handle). I think someone spoofed one of our email addresses in the past, but this round has lasted longer.

Spam Spoofing

Not sure if this belongs in the Security forum or here, but let's give it a whirl. Apparently someone is spoofing one of my company's email addresses as the return address for spam. It has been going on for probably close to 2 weeks now and I get at least a couple hundred "Return to Sender"...
