    I didn't care to use the awesome search feature to see if this had been posted before, but these are so hilarious I had to share (Be warned, these are very NSFW. No video, just audio): http://www.phonesexpranks.com/ The first one on the page, #4, about Clippy is comedic gold.

    Pad Thai

    Boy howdy. That is one tasty dish! I had heard about it many times over my lifetime (I'm 20) and just recently decided to try it out and see what all the hype was about. I must say, it was very good, and easy to make. I'm not sure if I like it better than just a classic stir fry, but it's...

    PSA: Wireless Network Problems

    After 3 years of having intermittent issues with my wireless router, and thinking it was the router, I figured out that my freaking 2.4Ghz phones were causing the problem. How did I not realize this earlier? Who knows. Point of this post: don't be as dumb as I was... hehe. That is all.

    Sorry to be vague here, but I'm trying to remember the name of a site I used a few years ago to test my cpu speed to compare it to tons of other results that had been submitted by people. It was for a prime number calculation, or something. Anybody know the site I'm talking about?
