    VBulletin vs IPS vs other forum provider?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thought I'd give an update, just setup this week with the free forum software MyBB. After applying some styling and adding a few plugins, MyBB is on par with what IPS was offering. My only question is... why with such a great platform did they choose to release the software for free?!

    So sort of like a selective Pandora with a defined purpose? I love the concept because I meditate and often use music for relaxation. I also think that nearly everyone (especially those in the slowlane) need this type of focus. What I'm not so sure about is although there is a need, are...

    +1! Let's get this straight. I DID go to college for a year. I bought all school clothes and was more than excited to go to college. I joined a fraternity. I took 300 level math courses as a freshman. It was NOT what I expected and told it was. For my post about what my actual experience...

    I think we're actually in agreement then? I see no problem with the school experience you mentioned (unless you are acquiring debt and there are ways around that), but it is far far far from the norm. For the "above average student" who did not apply to a *great* school or did not get into a...

    Every Step Costs You 20% of Users

    This is why I think FB's checkin system was brilliant. We all already have ten million log on's, we don't want another. By clicking "sign in with facebook" and having immediate access, I usually choose to continue. With apps that force you to sign up, I'm a 5 second uninstaller too.

    Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, or Tmobile Prepaid? Any opinions?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have an android HTC Evo V with Virgin which uses the Sprint network. It's $35 a month for unlimited everything (might be like 200 minutes of phone time a month but I don't use it). Everyone says it's terrible and they would rather pay $80 for Verizon in our area, but I see literally no...

    Brilliant example there, and I completely agree with you. Many of the lessons I learned came in the form of hearing an idea, a mindset, or philosophy from someone else. For many of these, it took months for the words they said to finally stick, but I can still remember what that advice I heard...

    Is that the "GO TO COLLEGE" thread? I've seen it! Said more elegantly than I'll be able to do for years. Thank you for your post. I think it speaks the world when you say lines like that and have reached the success you have. My last paragraph in my first post was about who to listen to and...

    You're probably very familiar with the fact that Microsoft outsources a lot of it's jobs for projects in the form of on-site yellow badge contractors. Most of these companies are Indian based and all of them have different criteria than Microsoft as far as hire / fire. Many people's careers at...

    Just reread your post and yes I read it. You were saying that what I consider great advice now at 22 isn't necessarily great advice for someone who's 18 going into college, correct? I've had epiphany's where I've though man, I wish someone had told me that before I went and did this, I wish...

    Downloading Windows 8 on my 2 computers.

    I feel like Microsoft abandoned desktop and laptop users. I think Win8 will be a great tablet OS, but the fact that they're pushing metro as the core of pc's kills me.

    This post might be insightful for people who think I'm completely full of myself haha. I can't honestly speak about that, but I'd like to think the ivy league schools have legitimate professors. The difference between attending Columbia University and attending Washington State University and...

    You teach to teenagers right? I didn't have any problem with my K-12 education, I loved it. My teachers were great. My only gripe is with the direction of college over the last 20 years and it's goals. I'd have to wonder if any public school or teacher wasn't in it for the right reasons, but...

    I'll agree just because of the strong tone I've had in this thread. It's funny that you never question a teacher when they claim their knowledge and experience without having been in the field. Double standard?

    Memorizing to get a good grade then forgetting it the next day and being unable to learn on without a teacher aren't quality traits. The inability to ask vital questions and think critically about the situation your in is a huge plus for employers looking to exploit, thank you Mark Cuban. I'm...

    True that. It only took a week to land my software job, but I had 5 interviews and the first 4 were with recruiters. The recruitment process with them epitomized my hatred for college haha. Why on earth were they interviewing me for a software job when they knew NOTHING about software...

    Nah I hear it all the time. If I listened to everyone who said you can't do something, I wouldn't have accomplished anything.
