    MENSA..........what's the point?

    OK...I know a lot of you guys are smart, probably beyond my intelligence. I actually see that as a good thing. I've been in the past evaluated at over 150 IQ...but what does that really matter? Yeah, I'm smart, I pick up stuff very quickly if I'm interested in it, but does this have any merit...

    E-Commerce guys, Anywhere to self-promote that is OK and works

    I've had HotDeals posts so far from others on other sites, but are there places to self-promote without breaking rules? I think I have a valid deal going on, its just hard to get the word out to people who want CPU coolers and other mods at a discount. Any ideas?

    Cat declawing

    Inhumane or not? Most cats are ok with it if done while kittens, but is it really right to do? Are you ok with taking from them something that is a part of what they are? Would you like getting lopped off at your last digit? Is it ok to do it if it means giving a cat a great home...

    Weird cat behavior

    Best movies on Netflix streaming.

    I'd recommend The IT Crowd for anyone that hasn't heard of it or seen it. (Funny clip) Also, Tooth and Nail is worth watching. Sliver is even better. There is tons of documentary stuff about what lived on earth before the dinosaurs also, Just can't remember the name. Fascinating. The...

    Are you more likely to buy stuff from a store run by a forum member?

    Just looking for some opinions here. Would you be more into buying from someone on here than a corporate store? Or is it all about price? Or how big of a price difference does it take for you to go from buying from the little guy to a corporate store? Note: I'm about to launch a webstore...

    SSL Certificates

    How slow of a news day can it be?

    Win7 via ACM gifting thread

    OK, I understand this may totally violate a EULA or forum rules or whatever. All I'm saying is that I'm sure lots of people got in on the 19 dollar ACM thing and have 4 keys for each of the 32 and 64 bit versions of Win 7 Pro.
