    Italians rule that Amanda Knox must stand trial AGAIN

    Thanks everyone for your advice. Update: I've made contact with a friend who is a dev at Microsoft and he thinks that I would be a great project manager. When I am ready (and have done a bit of refreshing on my course work and material) he's going to set me up with a mock-interview with a...

    Is downloading tv shows illegal/immoral?

    I agree with the sentiment here... I don't think it's necessary immoral if you pay for cable service or you're only downloading shows on networks that are available over the air. It definitely is illegal though. That said, I do it anyways ;)

    Terra Nova Cancelled

    Need suggestions for a table saw

    If you're in the Seattle area I have one for sale. It's a craftsman, probably 10-15 years old. My Dad gave it to me. It works great, just needs a new blade. Price is negotiable.
