Do you own or know someone who owns a black card?

Yes. Someone I worked for. "Black" cards (called different things by different companies) have been around since the 80s. Most of them include at a minimum $2,000,000 credit line, 24/7 concierge service, free air fare, free tickets to a ton of events and a few other things. My wife is a...

Moving to a different city

I did it a few years ago. It's very difficult. I was lucky to be able to keep my job and move to the new city which helped because my income never stopped. The best way to do it if you can't transfer or have a new job lined up is to save up enough $$$ that you can move and not work for two...

Got a scammer responding to my ad to sell my Honda motorcycle

The check/money order is "bad". You cash it and send part of the money to the "shipper" who pockets it. They never come for the vehicle. A few days later the bank calls and wants their money back because you gave them a bad check/moneyorder.

This isn't an argument, it's a discussion. There is no right or wrong. Some of you are trying to turn it into an argument though.

Japanese train

Yeah that's what I was laughing at. When the first commuter started pushing the attendant walked over to him. I thought he was going to pull the guy off but instead he started pushing as well!

I agree with that too. My first web site was hosted at home over my 56k connection! I didn't want to pay for a domain name so I used one of those domain redirects (I think it was cjb.net for those who remember back then). Later I moved my site (in 1998) when I got cable internet to my ISP's...

So far I have resisted the craze. What happened to finding hosting and building your own website? I can remember I built my first website in 1996. It was basic html and included a photo album and a little bio about myself. Now days it's FaceBook, MySpace, PhotoBucket, etc, etc. Is...

Bad hair cut ruined my day

That would be called "early supper" where I come from. I was raised that: Breakfast is 4am-6am. Brunch is 9am-1pm. Early supper is 3pm-5pm. Supper is 6pm-midnight.

Market Study: Mac owners think they are extraordinary

I think this is why Apple went X86. Back in the 90s Macs were always more powerful than PCs when it came to graphics work even though they ran the same programs as PCs. This changed in the 2000s when X86 hardware literally ran away from the Mac hardware in terms of performance. Graphics people...

If you want a long FPS Deus Ex is the game for you. The graphics are bit dated though (game came out in 2001 IIRC).

how many of you live in a cheap house?

Right now we will both be going part time. We are taking out student loans (which is already taken care of). Basically the schooling isn't going to cost us anything out of pocket until we are both done. Once our house is paid off (been putting 20k/year towards the principle since it was built)...
