    Sentimental or memorable Gifts for a Girl

    What are her interests? Hard to recommend a "sentimental" gift without knowing what she likes. Try to pick something that will remind her of something the two of you have done together. Or find something that you know she would like but would never get for herself.

    Cisco Vs Google

    You have obviously never been to Santa Monica. It's a GREAT place to live. I've lived in the bay area and currently live in Santa Monica. I can say without a doubt that Santa Monica is a MUCH nicer place to live than San Jose. Although I am not a fan of the "LA area" in general, Santa Monica...

    Need to buy a mountain bike

    Add Specialized to the list. You might be able to find a used Specialized Rockhopper in your price range. Very solid bikes. I wanted to disagree that Iron Horse makes cheap stuff. Sure, their entry level bikes have cheaper components (as do entry level bikes from all manufacturers) but they...

    The Cubs are dealing.

    He played in a very hitter-friendly park in Texas too. I would be surprised if he matches or even surpasses his homerun total from last year. There's a lot to be said about a player having a career year in a contract year...

    Experiences in patent law

    I'm graduating in May and currently work for a boutique patent firm. I really like the small firm environment, lots of interaction with partners and one on one feedback. It also exposes me to a broad range of technologies, as we have fewer attorneys around to do all the work. Anyways, I've...

    Heading down to L.A. California...Need some fun advice

    Go to Santa Monica, you can go to the beach and also walk along the 3rd St promenade which has great outdoor shopping and entertainment. It's also about halfway inbetween Magic Mountain and Orange County.

    Waiting to hear from Harvard Law.... need advice

    What are your numbers? Harvard doesn't really need to admit people with low numbers and good "soft factors" because they get enough people with excellent numbers and excellent "soft factors."

    What do you think of people who block merge lanes

    You bet your ass I block the merge lane if I see people roaring down the shoulder trying to get ahead as far as possible. What really pisses me off is if I see people behind me in my lane pull out of my lane farther to the right so they can drive ahead and merge back in to sneak ahead a few...

    Need networking help

    Thank you for the suggestions everyone. After some more troubleshooting, I have isolated the problem. When I connect a computer directly to the dsl modem, there is no connection to the internet. The computer simply cannot get an ip address from the modem. However, if I connect the dsl modem...

    Need networking help

    We just had our small office hardwired after dealing with wireless nightmares for the last couple years. The company that did the work installed a Linksys EF4124 switch. We have our DSL modem plugged into port 24, and then have the rest of the networked computers plugged in starting at port 1...

    OFFICIAL: WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC thread

    I think these games have been awesome. I'm glad ESPN is finally televising the games live. I had to listen to the first round on XM because I can't stand watching sports games on tape delay.

    Going car shopping this weekend

    I'm purchasing a SUV very soon as well. I started off with the Xterra in mind, but after doing a lot of shopping/online research/testdriving, I've decided to spend a little more and go for an '06 4runner. The build quality and reliability of the 4runner just seemed so much better than on...

    Google Chat through Gmail

    I've been playing around with it all day, it works great! No problems with the strict firewall at school either. The chat windows are pretty small but stay out of the way in the lower right hand corner so you can still see your emails. Anybody else get it yet?

    Yahoo Widgets, what is on your desktop?

    I just downloaded it as well. So far I am using mostly built in widgets from yahoo (digital clock, maps, to do list, weather) but I also downloaded one of the gmail notifier widgets. Any other good custom ones that I should download?

    Why does Abercrombie and Fitch smell that way...

    They spray all the clothes with perfume/cologne. I've seen the managers do it, basically walking throughout the whole store spraying that stuff.

    God damn Stolichnaya vodka is horrible

    Skyy is pretty good for the price. I think you can get a handle of it at costco for $22-24. It's fine for mixing, but I probably wouldn't make a vodka martini with it...

    God damn Stolichnaya vodka is horrible

    Absolut should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Grey Goose. Absolut is a VERY overrated/overhyped vodka, IMO.
