    What percentage of your pre-tax monthly income do you pay in rent?

    I'm considering jumping up to 35-38% for a much nicer and brand new place. But I'm undecided at this point. So out of curiosity, what is everyone else paying?

    I noticed a large plot hole in Training Day last night...

    ...maybe I'm slow, but I never thought of this until I watched if half-drunk last night: So at the end, when they go after Roger's money, they call in and make their story that they took fire coming in through the door initially. But, they spent a long-ass time digging up the kitchen before...

    CCNA (and higher people), CCENT really necessary?

    Decided to go take a CCNA bootcamp since work is paying for it. I have no formal 'cert' training, but have plenty of networking experience and Cisco PIX/Sonicwall administration time. I wouldn't say I'm an expert though. Is the CCENT course really necessary? will I be over my head if I just...

    FYI, Xbox 360 Elite had $50 mail in rebate until Oct. 7th now ($250 total)

    Still don't have a 360, so I was about to pre-order the new Modern Warfare 2 package, but wasn't too keen on the custom graphics on the 360 console itself, but it came with Modern Warfare 2, 2 controllers and a 250gb Hard Drive. But now, with the Elite at $250, I think that's the better deal...

    Finally going to buy a 360, do I need the Gbs of the elite? Can I garuntee a Jasper?

    With the price drops, I decided to finally buy a 360. I don't game too much, is the 60gb drive on the Pro model sufficient? What typically fills up disks? Since no more Pros will be made, I guess I'll have to buy one asap if that's the case. Are basically also 360s at Best Buy these days...

    Planning on getting a new TV (may or may not have ethernet jack), depending on what I get it may or may not have DLNA.

    Which Amex card to get? Blue/Green/...gold?

    Well I only have one Visa card, and of course a debit card. I've had no problems paying my Visa card off in time, but I figured I should get an Amex card as well. I guess I have to pre-qualify for the gold card, and it has a $125 annual fee. But from what I gather, it's not particularly hard to...

    Camera nerds: getting a new point and shoot. 28-112mm vs 36-133mm lens?

    So I'm buying a new camera, I'm partial to Canon and they just released two new point and shoot cameras. The SD880IS (28-112mm) and the SD990IS(36-133mm), one being 10.3MP and the other being 15.0MP. I no nothing about cameras, but my instinct is that on a point and shoot ,10MP is already...
