    eBay, the business plan police

    I switched my family cell phone plan to T-Mobile in response to their ETF fee promotion. As part of their promotion, I had to purchase some cheap phones. I planned to keep my AT&T phones, so I sold the cheap T-Mobile phones on eBay at a loss (some $$ now > $0 and crappy phones). eBay promptly...

    Is six figures that exclusive?

    As a kid, I imagined what it would be like making six figures a year. Private jets, hypercars, mansion... I always imagined it would be the life of easy come, easy go. Nowadays, I realize that six figures is not a big deal. I know doctors, lawyers, and IB who are making six figs straight...

    Reading old Popular Mechanics is fun! (June 1939)

    Wrong forum, please move to OT. Oh my, how history repeats itself. Out of oil? Dig deeper. The luxury of air travel, New York to San Francisco in 15 hours. Greyhound in its heyday. Taxes, the one thing that last forever. FYI, that's like a $2.2 billion per year tax bill now...

    Seriously, where can you get an elephant?

    linky with pics I can understand getting a wolf or puma, since you can find those in the US. But an elephant? Also, found these number pretty surprising: "Indeed while the WWF estimate there are only around 3,200 tigers left in the wild, The Association of Zoos and Aquariums estimates...

    Video Card died, need something that can run with 305 Watts

    My video card died today after 2.5 years of use. Computer boots, monitor remains on power saver mode. I guess what killed it was Sid Miers Alpha Centauri (very very old game). This could explain all the "nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered" warnings that I've been getting. I've...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly question

    I just watched the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and it has been the best 3 hours of my weekend. The movie oozes manliness, except for one small detail. Every cowboy in the movie runs like a little pansy. Why, did our running patterns evolve? Google doesn't turn out anything, so I'm wondering...

    Holy crap, janitors get paid very well

    Ohio school gets 700 applicants for janitorial job $15-$16 plus benefits, equates to around 31k per year. Which is not very much in the overall scheme of things, but compare that to a teacher who earns 41k.

    Recommendations for a host that allows backups?

    I'm looking for a new host since I'm unsatisfied with the horrible Dreamhost latency with Gallery2. They also don't allow backups (this recently changed, but still not enough space) which is a major thorn on my side. I'm looking for a reasonably priced host which has faster speeds and doesn't...

    4 Pics Story For those of you who never had the pleasure of visiting a Chinese public restroom, they are bad, very bad in the country side. Instead of urinals you share a trench with the other occupants so you can compare your woohoo sizes. Toilets consist of a hole in the ground...
