    The saddest movie you've ever seen is...?

    The Weatherman - I found that movie exceedingly depressing. I wanted to shoot myself with a crossbow after watching that one.

    I wanna buy some Apple stocks

    I think I would rather invest in Blackberry. Their sales are really doing well and they're launching their own tablet which sounds like it has more features than the ipad. Ipad sales haven't been that great for Apple from what I've read. I think everyone is waiting for the next version that can...

    magnetic containment of plasma

    My guess is no. I was reading up on a Japanese thermal research project where they were dealing with some of the highest human generated temps ever recorded using magnetically contained plasma. Since part of the article was discussing a sophisticated compound designed to withstand the heat...

    Possible: make an iso image of a bootable flash drive

    Would upgrading to Win7 improve comp performance? w/rig

    As everyone else has mentioned, with 8gb of RAM, Win7 would be a tad bit more "productive". However for raw performance I still suggest XP and when you're rolling out something like point of sale applications you really want to watch the price vs. features, so XP becomes a no-brainer for...

    home theatre with DECENT mids?

    What do you have to spend to get a home theatre system with some really good mids? Most systems are all high's and rumbling lows. I find with no mids and saturated high's my ears start to hurt after a while on most systems. I have quite musically sensitive ears and I find the low mids to be...

    For future reference of anyone asking about free open source help desks: http://www.opensourcehelpdesklist.com/ Keep in mind that free doesn't always mean low cost in your implementation. It really depends on the software and how much time you spend with it. Some (not all) commercial...
