    Lambo test drive FAIL!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What's the purpose of test driving a brand new lamborghini? It's not like you're going to find out that it can only do 100mph. It will live up to the promise.

    Lambo test drive FAIL!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Why would you even need to test drive a car like that? You know it's an amazing machine already. Kind of stupid if you ask me. It's not like anyone is going to finish the test drive and say, "Nope, I don't want it because it's too slow or handles poorly on turns!" Anyone who can't handle one...

    Millionaires to Buffett: Butt out on taxes

    TAXES | REGS 
    I think what he meant to say is that Warren Buffett could lose money on his investments by choosing the wrong companies or markets to invest in whereas his secretaries income is stable; the value of her paycheck won't go down by 90% in a single month if her boss performs badly. So, the...

    James F's New Direction in Life

    Yes, especially when dealing with foreign programmers. I've used Freelancer before and the foreign programmers on there are extremely hard to work with. They almost always demand milestone payments throughout the way even for doing minor work. I don't want to pay someone for doing 1/3rd of...

    Millionaires to Buffett: Butt out on taxes

    TAXES | REGS 
    That's not what Buffett means when he says that he pays less money in taxes than his secretary. He makes his income from long term capital gains, which are taxed at just 15%. His secretary on the other hand is likely paying somewhere between 36%-50% in taxes when you include federal, state...

    Does MJ have a wife?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's true. However, men can always freeze some of their sperm in a sperm bank while they're young and use that sperm to have kids at any age. Of course, most men wouldn't think to do this, but most men wouldn't want to have kids at 75 years old anyways. The Larry Kings of the world are...

    deperatly need help in a niche market

    That is unusual. Are you sure your server allows search engines to index the content on it? You might have that feature turned off and not realize it.

    Are web businesses becoming saturated?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If you start to make money doing something online, within months there will be tons of clone sites. Don't let that get to you as competition is inevitable when you are successful; just look at all the GroupOn clones. If there is no competition, it probably means that what you're doing is not...

    Start a Business with no money?

    With your attitude, if you keep at it, I predict you will be wealthy before the age of 25. It's very nice to see such a young person already on the right track. I feel old compared to you and I'm just 24.

    Start a Business with no money?

    You probably can't get a real job at 14; at least in California the minimum age to work is 16 so it would be illegal for you to get a job here; don't know what state you live in. However, you don't have to get a job or ask your parents for money; why don't you go around the neighborhood and mow...

    Does MJ have a wife?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The way you can look at it is yea, those guys who you went to college with that partied more had more fun for those 4 or 5 years than you did, but now most of them are probably living very boring lives in the slowlane. They can't just hop over to Vegas or take a vacation in Europe whenever they...

    Domains, do I need to register them all?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It's actually more useful to register the .co extension. The reason being that people who wish to type in .com sometimes leave out the m and you don't want them going to someone else's website who is trying to leech off of your traffic.

    Steve Jobs is DEAD!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yes. I dislike Apple as a company, but I can't help but respect Steve Jobs as a CEO and visionary. The proof is in the pudding; he took Apple from being bankrupt, and brought them back to what they are today.

    10 Things to Thank Steve Jobs For

    OFF-TOPIC 
    He might not have been doing it for the money, but point #2 is incorrect. His salary was only $1, but he was compensated in Apple stock instead, which considering how valuable Apple is as a company, was worth a lot of money.

    We don't even have a chance to find good programmers

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think the problem that most of the users here face is not knowing how to program. So, they have to outsource their programming to someone else, which can be expensive if you hire someone in the States, or it can be risky if you hire someone in India or China for instance, where they often...

    Don Lapre: DEAD.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Victims of their own stupidity, as well. There are plenty of greedy people who wouldn't fall for scams because they have enough brain cells to realize that they are scams. If some guy claiming to be a Nigerian prince sends you an email talking about how he'll transfer 10 million into your bank...

    Does MJ have a wife?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I can see why MJ wasn't offended. I think this question would offend women more than men. Women tend to see it as shameful if they aren't married by their late 30s, whereas men can get married and have kids at any age; there's not as much societal pressure on us, although there does exist some...

    Don Lapre: DEAD.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    @bateati He was probably guilty, so he figured that putting an end to it quickly would be better than going through the trial and years of being in prison. If he was innocent, he would have fought it out like most people. Also, the shame of public embarrassment is often too much for some...
