    Chinese Or Spanish??

    LOL! Reminds me of that scene in "European Vacation" where the French waiter is waiting for the Griswald's to order, and replies in French. But instead of trying to answer their questions, the waiter is making some "interesting" comments about them.

    The moment of truth ...MAC or PC?

    HOT! 
    General User: Mac A little edgier user: Ubuntu Linux I bought a cheap laptop at a retail store two weeks ago that came with Windows Vista. After creating the recovery disks, I wiped it out and put on (FREE) Ubuntu 9.04. I then installed the FREE virtualization app, VirtualBox, and...

    Sure. You mean owner financing? Or an all-inclusive trust deed or wrap-around mortgage (if there is an existing note).

    10 Commandments of Wealth

    MINDSET 
    On the "Be early" part ... My wife's former boss was a self-made millionaire commercial broker and would ALWAYS be 5-15 mins late for meetings, etc. He also had a habit of using street parking (and not putting money in the meter), and getting ticketed several times per week because of it. I...

    Nouveau Riche University

    As vr4playa mentioned, they can be very stealth when recruiting. I had a friend sign up as a member of a local meetup group, which didn't mention Nouveau Riche at all in their details. In the first meeting, he was put through the meat grinder and never returned.

    Life Altering Event

    MINDSET 
    Russ/Scout - This sounds a lot like David Allen's (Getting Things Done) approach to organizing your life. Come across something and make a decision RIGHT THERE. Don't skip over it and don't put it in the "I'll handle this later" bin, but make a decision on it NOW.

    Choosing a Website name?

    There is an interesting - something - I've noticed regarding web site names. Think about some of the more well known names: ebay google facebook yahoo slashdot digg ... etc Two things should be immediately obvious: (1) the names really don't mean a heckuva whole lot in relation to the...

    Who here watches Tv

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I usually watch 'Shaun the Sheep' and 'Special Agent OSO' on DisneyChannel ... WITH MY KIDS! That's the extent of my TV viewing (except to check the weather or quick bit of news).

    Who here has a College Degree?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I echo the majority here who have a college degree. Even though it does take time and money, it's anything BUT a waste of time and money. Bachelors of Science (Texas State University) Major: Computer Science Minor: Mathematics

    Outsourcing

    SOURCING WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yes, but not only in IT, but most other industries as well. It all comes down to corporate greed and how far they can turn the screws on their customers. Sometimes they go too far (as in Dell Computer's case), but the bottom line is their bottom line. I recommend people read The Corporation...

    College : Just Hype?

    I couldn't agree more. It was almost like a veil had been lifted about midway through my Sophomore year. I have degree in Computer Science with a minor in Math, but my favorite course was a freshman Philosophy class.

    Advice for those graduating now.

    I am reminded by a quote from Steve Buscemi's character in Con Air when someone calls him insane: "What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before...

    Dealing with bad credit

    I'd like to express my own opinion of how banks view borrowers(/people) today, but I'd probably get banned. :nono:

    Fastest Growing U.S. Cities

    OFF-TOPIC 
    For the last 5-7 years, the "joke" in the Austin metro area was that the smart Californians cashed-out and moved here (before the RE crashed). I figure with the current problems the state of California is having coupled with this area's recent media blitz of being the next best thing, we'll...

    Fastest Growing U.S. Cities

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm a little surprised that my city (Round Rock, TX) made #2 on the list. It's been growing since the early 2000's, but didn't realize it had grown THIS big. link

    R.I.P. - Michael Jackson! *OFFICIAL THREAD*

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree with Russ as well. I always wondered if his "issues" were due to his childhood (or, better yet, not having a childhood), and his mental capacity was always stuck in trying to capture what he never had. Maybe he is now enjoying the inner peace he never had.

    How to build a blog/online business

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've been reading several articles lately that have discussed the rise (and decline) of blogs - as far as making money from them. Basically, it's getting harder and harder to do so. Definitely not impossible, but a lot harder. The money people DO make from writing blogs is not so much the...
