    Im going to D.C. this Saturday

    The Holocaust Museum sucks, imo. Went there in December for the first time and was very let down. If you want seafood don't go to Legal Seafood, there are better places. Dupont is pretty cool. Georgetown is also cool. American Gothic is at the Renwick Gallery across from the White...

    How do you study?

    When I was in school I usually crammed a day before the exam. I found that studying for several days in advance was more productive. Unfortunately I had no discipline and only did this when I knew I was no where close to being prepared.

    Is it legal to run a yellow light?

    Don't know if it varies from state to state or not but I saw something on TV a few years ago (or maybe I read it) that if your car is completely in the intersection before the light turns red you are ok.

    does anyone work in DC if so where do you live?

    I live in Gaithersburg. If you're looking to commute in on the subway you still need a car for errands in the suburbs. PG county is not a nice area close to the city, but areas like Bowie and Laurel are fine. Howard County is growing. Traffic sucks everywhere. If you are going...

    Where are you getting the mold specifically?

    Damn... I upped my game and I'm now spending $254900.

    Nah, DC is definitely more expensive. I graduated from UVA last year and now live in the metro DC area. Charlottesville is a little too small town for me to want to move to but I loved it as as student. I can't blame you there. Otherwise it's pretty nice. Although traffic is absolutely...

    Sounds like you are lucky. Charlottesville certainly has cheap areas but overall it's not (although still cheaper than metropolitan areas). Shitsville it is not my friend.

    The sport that requires the most balance between team and individual skill?

    You do need an exceptionally good individual(s) if you are playing very strong competition. However, I think it's more important that you don't have a bad player. My point was more along the lines that one person can easily cost you the match, moreso in my opinion than any other sport.

    The sport that requires the most balance between team and individual skill?

    Yeah, I say volleyball. In a lot of sports you can hide a bad player or two or work around them. In volleyball, if you are playing a good team that one bad player on your team can easily be the difference between winning and losing.

    College Rankings by Major

    I'm an Envi-Sci major. Went to UVA. Don't know how highly regarded the program is but it was the first in the nation. I know Duke and Maine both have excellent grad programs, I don't know what their undergrad programs are like though.

    Viiv is Intel. There is no such thing as Viiv + AMD.

    YAJobT - Yet Another Job Thread

    It's your call. If you don't think you are going to be comfortable there then you probably won't be. Why are you considering it in the first place? Is it a lot more money, closer to home, something else? There's more to life than money. I could never work a job I hate just to make more money.

    Anyone live in or around Washington DC?

    Selling your car in DC is not adviseable, even if you live downtown. The subway system in terms of convenience is not on par with a place like New York. Even if you live downtown you will likely make use of a car, even if it's not as frequently as commuting into town. Also, housing is...
