    Travelling for business?

    Anybody else's job require this? Does it ever get old? I finished university barely a year ago and here I am sitting in a 5 star hotel in Dubai and right now I'm thinking that life is pretty sweet. The only down side that I have found so far is that it's kind of hard to stay fit and stick to...

    Digicam: Small size and big zoom. Advice needed

    I finally decided I wanted my own digital camera (instead of always borrowing friends'). I'd like to have something relatively small but with as big an optical zoom as possible. I'd like to spend around 300$ or less if possible and I have little to no need for manual modes so point and shoot...

    [Cars] Oil change question

    For starters, I don't know much about cars besides driving them ;) Now for the actual question. I'm currently driving an old 1989 Sundance (old body but the engine has less than 30 000km on it and is relatively new). Since it's cheaper and usually just as fast to take the bus I barely use it...

    University professors

    With all those diplomas, you'd think they would actually be smart! Wrong! They're dumber than you and me. How the hell am I supposed to study if the only answer grid I have contains "preliminary answers" subject to corrections at the last moment. :\ Lazy fucks Max

    Lawsuit against Dell approved by Canadian judge

    Some of you probably remember the mistake that was on Dell's canadian site for about a day last year regarding Axims to be sold for 89$ CAN instead of 350$ CAN. As per usual, Dell cancelled every order and corrected the mistake. The only problem is that up here the law requires shop owners to...

    Good bit torrent client?

    After a year of waiting for the local TV station to air my favorite TV shows I gave up and decided I'd get them my self. Now, from what I understand, BT is the obvious choice for this task. My problem is that I can't find a good client. I tried the regular one and it didn't allow me to slow...

    Need suggestions for an MP3 player
