    Okkervil River

    Has anyone else heard of them? They're kind of folk-ish, so obviously they're not for everyone. I purchased their most recent CD (Black Sheep Boy), the first time I've actually bought a CD in a long time. Check it out, and post what you think. Amazon link...

    Have you ever been offended by a movie or tv show?

    Not that I can remember. I'm pretty easy-going about stuff like this.

    Did homo sapiens evolve from apes?

    I guess this is part of the evolution question. So, is there evidence from skeletal findings that support this? Is this generally accepted by scientists?

    A couple eye questions...

    My dad has been making some claims and I'm just not sure if they're true. I'm near-sighted and I wear glasses. Do any of these make your vision worse? 1. reading with glasses ? 2. using the computer for 2 hours straight? 3. reading with a dim light? 4. your glasses being dirty?

    Do General Education electives matter much?

    For those that don't know, General Education courses are those that are required for the school, but not required for your major. Some examples, are Foreign Language courses, History/Political Science, Writing, etc. I'm currently taking Religion and a Great Texts course. They require too much...

    Are you a douchebag?

    Inspired by a link my friend gave me. http://factualmaterial.com/douchebag.htm I agree with most of it, except the part where he disses Michigan. Michigan rocks (except the Tigers :)).

    Will the world be better 10 years from now?

    I've left it pretty vague, so answer at will. Also, I didn't paste this in the Politics forum, because I don't like that place.

    Does running make you fall asleep sooner or stay awake?

    I've been thinking about this and I'm just not sure. I guess it makes you tired, but you feel more awake. I don't know.

    Sex, Drugs, or Rock'n'Roll?

    Pick. I chose Rock'n'Roll because I haven't experienced the other two. :)

    Looking for good broadband service near Dallas

    My parents and my brother recently moved to Denton (30min north of Dallas) and are looking to have broadband internet. The only one we've seen in the paper is Charter Pipeline which provides 3Mbps download and a mediocre 256kbps upload. However, it seems a bit expensive ($50/month) after the...

    Moving monitor upside down damaging?

    My dad, while moving my computer/monitor to another city, placed the monitor upside-down and my computer on its side. I was just wondering, can this be damaging to either of the components? I wouldn't think so for the computer, but I'm not sure for the monitor (I'm not really familiar with how a...

    Security question with Win2000

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum... I have my parents using Windows 2000. They are currently under dial-up and I have them using Firefox. Is there a security issue if they are not using a firewall? I ask this because I was under the impression that most hijacks are through an always on...

    How do you define maturity?

    Likewise, how do you know if someone is immature and lastly, is there an in-between? Just curious.

    New Valentine's Day AIM virus?

    I sent an IM to one of my buddies and this away message came up: PICS FROM VALENTINES http://www.abcbirds.org/photos.pif :) !!! Is this old or new? Has anyone else gotten this?

    NBA Street Vol. 2 or V3?

    V3 is coming out in 3 weeks or so and I'm not sure if I should buy it for ~$50 or just get Vol. 2 for $20 now. Is there that big of a difference? BTW, this is for Xbox.

    Should I start watching Alias?

    I'm a big fan of 24, and someone recommended this to me a while back but never bothered. Anyway, the 2 hour premiere looks great and I've heard great things about it, but I've never seen an episode. Will I be completely lost, concerning the plot and characters and more importantly, is the show...

    Blockbuster DVD Rentals

    I tried out the Blockbuster service for 2 weeks. During these two weeks, I was impressed by the turnaround for my DVDs, although not as much for the selection. It was cheaper than Netflix, at the time too, so I was considering subscribing. As I was about to cancel, I received another offer of...

    Help installing Mandrake 10.1

    Ok, I have two hard drives, with a total of 5 partitions. I've organized the partitions so that I have on partition completely empty. So, I thought it'd be a piece of cake after doing this, but I booted into the DVD and I was confused by hda and hdb and whatnot. I'm just confused as to what to...

    Michigan vs. Texas

    I know this is a bit early for discussing this, but I just wanted to get a general feel for what teams ATOT is going for. I'm a die hard Michigan fan, although I'm currently living in Texas. I know that Texas is ranked higher and is probably better statistically, but I think Michigan might pull...

    So, I booked my airport flight online

    Just my identification (driver's license) and the confirmation printout. Is that all? I just want to confirm.

    Can I bring my backpack along to the airport?

    This is probably a stupid question... I'm not going to bring any luggage, just my backpack and I'm gong to stuff it with my books and other stuff. I was wondering if I could bring that along to my seat. I doubt it'll fit in the overhead storage place. I've only been in an airplane once, so...

    Why is everything Google releases beta?

    I'm guessing they benefit by having this so if any complaints (regarding bugs or features) arise, they can just say "It's in beta." It just gets tiresome.

    How many of you just upgrade motherboards?

    I'm wondering if you guys just upgrade the motherboard, or just build/buy a whole new computer and strip the parts of the old cpu? Are there any complications with video cards or memory from doing so or any problems with the case? Secondly, I currently own a Dell 8300 and would like to do this...

    Really shy guy in my class

    It's just really weird. He doesn't say anything in class and doesn't talk a lot even with regular people. Hence, he doesn't have many friends (as far as I can tell). I tried talking to him a few times, but it's so hard to start a conversation with him, since I'm usually doing most of the talking...

    Friend will have eye surgery

    My friend is having some sort of eye procedure sometime in November. You see, he has a "droopy eye" and he hates it. You can tell he feels self-conscious when you're talking to him, because he always looks down at the ground. He has a hard time looking people in the eye. He's a good guy, but...

    ESPN: Sunday Conversation with Bush and Kerry

    I just checked out a clip from ESPN Motion concerning Bush and Kerry. Each person was asked if Pete Rose should be reinstated. Bush said no, and Kerry said "That's a tough question" without giving a clear answer whether or not he should be reinstated. Figures...

    Isn't Risk the best board game ever?

    Just played it last night. It's got the perfect amount of skill so that the strategists enjoy it and it's got the perfect amount of luck and simplicity that even a girl can play it. (I don't mean to offend here, it's just that you don't see most girls playing strategic games.) And best of all...

    If you see someone cheating on a test, do you tell?

    Just wondering, because I saw a bunch of people's eyes wandering in my midterm just about an hour ago.

    How is this election race so tight?

    I don't understand. Bush has led the U.S. to a war with millions protesting domestically and even more worldwide. He's angered millions of gays with his proposal for an amendment to ban gay marriages. The U.S. has lost millions of jobs (probably not Bush's fault, but common folk don't know that)...

    Anyone use A9 (Amazon's search engine)?

    I just checked out the site and downloaded the toolbar. The site seems pretty cool and offers a bunch of new features. I'm not sure if it'll replace Google, but it is neat. http://a9.com/-/company/whatsCool.jsp

    My suitemate just gave a homeless guy a free meal.

    My suitemate and I went to Taco Bell and just as we started driving to go back to the dorm, a guy walks near us and asks us for a quarter so that he could eat. I was going to give him a the change that I had in my pocket (~50 cents), but then my suitemate goes, "I'll tell you what. I'll buy you...

    What's a good multiplayer game for X-Box?

    I got Halo and my buddies and I have played it almost nonstop, but we're looking for something else. We're going to pick up NCAA Football 2005 tomorrow and a multiplayer game. Any suggestions?

    Online radio broadcasts of college football games?

    I've been looking for sites that broadcast the Michigan game, but haven't found any yet. Is it even legal to do it now? Thanks and Go Blue!
