    iTunes Plugin Programming?

    So this is a weird one. I've been playing with the iTunes COM interface on windows (with some simple javascript), and I'm ready to take it to the next level. I want to create another option in the itunes list on the left (Where you can see "Library", "Podcasts", "Music Store", etc., but I have...

    Chicago Cubs Tickets?

    Hey there people -- I ordered a couple Cubs tickets, regular tickets, not the electronic ones, for opening day. Still haven't got them. Has anyone else got theirs yet, or know when they'll be released?

    New site up for local business

    Technically I'm a pro in this area. But not in user interface design :) My initial reactions: - What do they do? - Why the heck is the logo so big? And so animated? - Why is the text so freaking small? That's ok for artsy-fartsy websites, but if you're trying to sell to people who don't...

    Is Wal-Mart good for America?

    Is walmart good for america? Who cares. The people THINK walmart is what they want. They continue to shop there, even knowing about their business practices and human rights treatment and worker treatment. I'm not going to fight their fight if they don't want to fight it. If they know...

    Actually you got the crappy charger. I just bought the same camera, but got this charger: LaCrosse BC900 Yeah, that's right. Customizable charging speeds, battery refresher, overheat detection, 4 independent channels (charge diff brands and/or diff discharge rates at the same time), test...

    question about bank accounts

    A little late now, but if you deposit enough money to cover the negative balance before the end of the day, then your day's balance won't be negative and you won't be charged fees. At least that's how WaMu does it.

    why do businesses not want to pay for IT/computer work

    I must be one of the lucky few who has a great job as a programmer: -I started at 12.85/hr as an intern. I knew it sucked, but I wanted the job at this company -They gave me a raise to about 20/hr for the next summer -After graduation, they gave me another big raise (can't say how much...

    Do you rinse off the pasta?

    And that kind of "subjective" knowledge is what separates the "I like cooking" cooks from the "I dont want to pay 8 dollars for a meal" cooks. It's really not that hard, I had pasta cooking without a timer down my first year in college.

    Hot hosting deal

    They're a great host, I'm hosting 3-4 domains with them. The other deal was 1 year, same package, 0.77/month (just under 10 bucks for the year). It was only valid for 1 year though, so I'm not too sure what I'm going to do after that :)

    Ramen Or EasyMac (Poll)

    None of the above! When I was a broke college student (which was about 2 years ago.. damn it feels strange to say that, still), I'd get top ramen, cook the noodles without the seasoning, then mix in some spaghetti sauce. Bam, you got spaghetti! And now I'm going home to filet mignon... i...

    Repo Your Car

    Part of owning property on loaned money is the responsibility. I hate to be an arse here, but if he couldn't afford the car for a couple months after his job split, he shouldn't have had it in the first place. If you're living paycheck-to-paycheck and paying for a new car, you're stretched...
