    HBO's original: Silicon Valley... Liking it so far! 'Nerdy entourage'

    I think it's more a matter of them wanting to use their time working on the product, not fixing a laptop. In a business it's usually much more efficient to outsource "IT Maintenance" rather than have the development staff do it on their own.

    Last Man on Earth

    I love this show and have laughed out loud at some point in every episode. I think Phil is the most despicable character on TV right now. When he had them play tennis and made the guys go skins, stole the cow, etc. It's hard to watch how selfish he is, but I can't stop.

    Is Daytona Beach a nice place to live?

    I live in Orlando and would never consider living in Daytona. If you like the area and want to live by the beach look into New Smyrna Beach.

    Would you want to have been born a girl?

    I don't think this has anything at all to do with being male/female. It is all about looks, social skills and attitude. It is both very easy and very difficult for certain people of either sex. Op, if you were the exact same person you are now, but a woman do you really think your life would...

    what % of your FB friends are gullible?

    From the "Woman stuck in a chimney thread" "The flue was lubricated with dish soap before she was lifted out of the chimney, placed in a stokes basked and hoisted from the roof by a ladder truck, according to VCFD Capt. Mike Lindbery." I guarantee they used Dawn.

    What computer components or electronics have you lost due to electrical storms?

    I had the cable guy out yesterday to replace my modem. When we checked the incoming line to the house he noticed that the earth ground wire had been disconnected and was used for the DirecTV. That's right, the DirecTV installer took a shortcut probably because he assumed I wouldn't be using the...

    What computer components or electronics have you lost due to electrical storms?

    Sorry to bump such an oldie, but this happened again tonight. The apparent culprit was the cable modem and things connected to it via Ethernet. Crap. It even fried an HDMI switch, which obviously only indirectly connects.

    What's the most dishonest thing you've seen at a retail store?

    I saw a guy return hundreds of dollars of steaks to Costco. He said he was a caterer, and didn't end up using everything. I couldn't believe how up front he was about it. Those things have to go directly into the trash.

    why do you invest in paper assets?

    Does the op know anything about finance? There is nothing lazy about it. It is incredibly complicated and creative from a business perspective. Also, doing homework on the proper "paper" investments can take a lot if effort. I'm probably feeding a troll. Do the underpants protect against...

    What exactly is litecoin mining?

    Where can you buy these things? Legitimately.

    I think Vic's wife is the real life wife of the show's creator.

    I've easily bought over 100 books on Amazon, and only 6 showed up in this list for me.

    GMO Food, Artificial Sweeteners and Processed Foods

    This is exactly what I do, except I don't want to eat any sandwhich she would make me. It would probably be made with gluten free bread (she has no gluten allergies) and have flax seed poured all over it. Oh God, gluten. Don't even get me started on our arguments about gluten...
