    To move in with a friend or not?

    Tough call, you can argue either way. If you do move in with your friend I'd recommend establishing ground rules asap before one of you feels screwed when something happens. Or if you happen to be the one who doesn't clean and always pays bills late, then jackpot for you!

    Sprained my ankle. Any particular reason I should see a doctor?

    I fractured my ankle last week. At first I thought I'd suck it up, but the pain was pretty unbearable and didn't subside at all. I couldn't put any weight on it either so that was the deciding factor for me. I got a boot and crutches now, but I'm pretty glad I went because it could have been...

    Was Snake Eyes from GI Joe a ninja?

    I'm pretty sure Storm Shadow was a ninja. http://www.yojoe.com/filecard/84/stormshadow.shtml

    ** spoiler ** Last I heard Topher Grace is playing Sandman, not Venom.

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    I've had this monitor since early January and been pleased with it. The rebate on the other hand is not even showing up on 'wheresmyrebate.com' and I sent everthing in almost a month ago. Looks like they'll be getting a phonecall.

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    Just got it from Amazon (used the free shipping and it arrived in plenty of time for the $75 rebate) and it looks fine to me. It is my first LCD monitor so I have nothing to compare it to, but I'm happy with it. No dead pixels.

    Best/Cheapest site for buying stocks/funds

    I just signed up for Scottrade as well. If you want a referral, pm me. We both get 3 free trades then. Been happy with them so far (all of 2 weeks).

    UltraCompact Digi Cam?

    I have the Fuji f440 and so far don't have many complaints about it. Pretty small (smaller than a post-it note), can be found for $300 on newegg, but uses xD.

    Staples Hot Deals for week of Oct. 10 - Oct. 16

    I'd do some research before buying the Netgear router. I have the 624 (super-G) and it has a known reboot problem that is pretty annoying.

    UT2004 Performance? Yours OK?

    Is anyone experiencing lag when playing multi-player and not on a dedicated server? When the 3rd person joins I get horrible pings and not sure where the bottleneck is.

    Is it normal to have obnoxiously long load times with UT2004???

    If you preload skins for the maps it'll take like 2 minutes to load (at least that's been my experience). I've been suffering from lag issues during gameplay myself, so overall it's a bit frustrating. I find it hard to believe that they'd release a game that has these issues, but heck, what do...

    Ever see Triumph of the Nerds on TNT?

    Triumph of the Nerds was actually a documentary on Bill Gates and Steve Jobs (I had to watch it recently for a CS class). My professor had it on VHS tapes. It was pretty informative, but a bit long. No actors, but had interviews with all the 'nerds' who triumphed and now can each buy small...

    Weird IE problem

    Thanks so much, that's probably what happened in the first place.
