    Worst song to come along in years?

    Ting Tangs... Is it strange that I remember that song from the Victoria Secret show a year or so ago? Odd how certain connections get burned in your memory a little better than others. :)

    Computer Shopper

    I think that publication single handedly made Gateway a success when it took off. I remember their glossy cow colored ads were a notch above everyone else's. Lots of stuff changed over the years. I think the demise of Computer Shopper came when it became common place for every do it...

    ATOT, I just Tipped an insane amount

    I went out on a business dinner with a bunch of colleagues once. Not a 5 star restaurant, but a decent sit down place with drinks and what-not (fully clothed for you pervs). We were all sitting around talking about tips and one of the guys asked our waitress what the biggest tip she ever got...

    guys that are bald or balding - some questions

    This thread makes me feel a little better about myself. Like 28-29 I started getting my dad's and his dad's spot in the back. 33 now and it's slowly getting worse. I haven't done anything about it. Have thought about Rogaine, then just figured let it be. I guess I'm just doomed. I have a...

    POLL: Am I the only one worried about their portfolio tonight?

    Gas > $4 seemingly overnight + Merrill Lynch and Lehman Bros. I'm an amateur and this still is enough to worry me.

    Favorite non-PC songs

    Not exactly in the spirit of the thread, but the one that came to my mind was: Puddle of Mud - She F'ing Hates Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Vzw366UwM Oh one more... Kanye West - Golddigger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU13MRtSD7E

    Are you in the top 2 percent?

    You know, there is another side to this question. I would argue that the answers you're seeing have far less to do with actual intelligence and far more to do with people's ego. It would take someone with a pretty high opinion of themselves to answer "yes" I'm smarter than 98% of the people...

    "Information technology pros will go extinct if they don?t start thinking about their jobs differently. "

    I'm just a lowly "user". I can't even turn on my computer without someone helping me. I don't know what software I need, I just need it. As long as I can type my Word document and surf the internet on my lunch hour, I'll be happy and productive and the company will make money. Apparently...
