  1. The Beat vs. The Lyrics

    Truly good music doesn't compromise one for the other; however, if I had to choose, it's the message, not its package, so to speak.

  2. Fav Oldies

    What's the definition of 'Oldies'? I perhaps may have an exclusive taste in many of them.

  3. SD card can't be read

    Sounds like the easiest and most effective solution for the near-term to me. Buck-fifty's a good deal, too. Make sure you're not getting malfunctioning junk, though.

  4. Google buys Twitter

    It would help with the competition with Facebook, but that's a hard buy I think given the brand strength on it's own. I think that's why Facebook is avoiding an IPO - to avoid a hostile takeover by Google, or to outpace them in price to win a war of attrition.

  5. Batteries in the Freezer

    Regular batteries do work slightly better if you chill them, I've been involved in actual scientific tests of this; alkalines as said above, don't gain much from it, but where you can get an advantage is not really for regular use, but actually near end-of-life. If you really need to say...power...

  6. Staff & Emotions

    So, I take it you've already read my secret Nebulous is a poopy-face PM conversation? Just jokin'. Are you sure that the admin was actually responsible for what you describe? That would require some serious screwing around unless he was actually hosting the site on his own server. Or you got...

  7. Theme Change

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it, is the saying; I agree with that, for the most part. A skin/theme is a bit like the fashion of the website, though. For example, I'm sure the ladies on here would love to get a new set of shoes, and a nice new summer dress, or something to the like (a new hat...

  8. Recent skill or hobby

    Learning a new language (Norsk/Norwegian).

  9. Shakespeare

    If you take each bit of work as an individual, most of the work with Shakespeare's name on it is pretty good. When you look at it with a broad spectrum, it does have some fairly repetitive themes and gets a little bland overall. I think, however, that can be said about a lot of authors and...

  10. Chit Chat Zone

    Is this like an annual tradition to do after Christmas...? Or are we playing musical avatars?

  11. Rebuilding after disasters

    Ideally, in the first place, the regions affected should've had the capacity to do it on their own, but the Federal government has a degree of culpability when a natural disaster, like a hurricane, tornado, etc. strikes, as part of its duty to protect and preserve the welfare of the citizens of...

  12. Weelky Work Hours

    There is a limit to the tolerance the human body can take before safety (in just about any line of work), becomes an issue. It would be nice if the workplaces could manage to be responsible on their own and do this, so a government agency won't. As Jazzy has detailed, some do - alas, it's a bit...

  13. Fave drink order @Starbucks?

    Some green tea thingy, I really don't know the names of half the stuff there; I'm more of a Dunkin' sort of fellow.

  14. $30k Bottle of Wine

    It's a couple hours away from me (I literally drove past that place two days ago) - if it was offered for free, I'd make the trip!

  15. Last thing you ate/drank?

    Blacked top sirloin steak, mushrooms, peppers, and onions, with some iced tea.

  16. Bill or expense u hate to pay

    All of them.

  17. Last person you kissed?

    Well, my dog (as in canine, not a woman) - she jumped on the futon and licked me. The End. As for one of human nature, that wasn't for family purposes? 'twas at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, as the young lady was dropping me off at the airport, for my flight back to the United States.

  18. Show Off's

    It's all about intent; if someone is of superior ability to me (which is basically everyone on Earth), and they're just good, well that's my problem if I don't like it. If they're applying it in a negative fashion - out to insult (the I'm better than you! HA-HA! sort of thing), well that's...

  19. How Did You Get Over Being Dumped?

    Irish-Italian, interesting mix; not bizarre like Irish-Japanese.

  20. Send a message back in time

    Yeah, definitely the winning lottery numbers, sports teams, etc. a la Back to the Future...I'd also tell myself who to avoid and to not screw up any of the opportunities I passed by.
