Should I get lifetime for TIVO?

I just bought a Tivo 80-hour for $249 free shipping. I'm debating whether or not I should get the lifetime subscription or the monthly fee. It will take about 1 year 11 months for the lifetime to pay off. But will TIVO be around by then? Will I upgrade by then? Or will my Tivo still be working...

A sticky kindergardener / older kid situation...

I say you sit down with your kid and go through the cards. Try to teach him value in the cards, which cards are valued more, and why its valued more. Then you split up the cards and do a mock trade. "Okay, since that card is worth 10 yuggies, and these two are worth 5 yuggies......" wait can he...

What kind of beer do you suggest?

you're kidding me right? what beer is not meant to be drank cold? read the back of the guinness can, it even says "serve very cold" or something like that. warm beer isn't good in my books.

Just bought some Bones swiss bearings

A great links to the articles, thanks. ABEC in a way does have something to do with rollerblade/skates though, the industry like to use those standards to make people pay more for how precise the bearings were made. Kinda like AMD and Intel, saying that AMD is a 2000+ is in the same ball park...

What's the Best/Favorite Ski Resort in N. Califfornia?

It all depends on what type of skier/boarder you are. Sierra at Tahoe is more for beginners/intermediates, they have a great run for beginners, one of the longest Green runs called Sugar and Spice. Their backside is decent with a bunch of blue runs, but pretty short in general. Northstar is for...

I'm using redhat 7.3, after I fdisk it. i type in: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda it then goes and tells me that 5% is going to be saved for super user. I dont want it to do that. I dont think the distro matters in this case but I could be wrong.

How hard is it to pick up Flash programming?

it depends, if you wanna just do "normal stuff" like a little bit of animation here and there then its pretty easy like people said. but if you wanna do the fancier stuff like pseudo 3d and other special effects, there is a lot of scripting involved and may take a bit longer to learn.
