    Classic game you pick up again and again?

    Recently I've been playing Chrono Trigger again for...I don't even know how many times this makes. It's one game that I see to come back to every now and again. There really isn't any other game that I do this with either. For some reason I just love this game. Do you all have a game that grabs...

    Tagatose, has anyone heard of or used this?

    I forget exactly how I came upon this, probably started with a Google search and branched from there. Anyway, it's an interesting form of sugar. It technically is a type of sugar, occurring naturally in dairy products. However, due to it's structure, most of it is not absorbed by the human body...

    Well I guess I'll never hold a civil position in this state...

    So I was browsing reddit earlier and came across this Reuters article about atheist persecution around the world. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/10/us-religion-atheists-idUSBRE8B900520121210 This little tidbit got me curious: Hmm, which states? Then i went looking for the report...

    Nexus 4, coming soon to a Play Store near you.

    So anyone who keeps up with smartphone news probably knows the Nexus 4 launch is right around the corner. Google is having an event on the 27th, and it's all but guaranteed to be the Nexus 4 unveil. There have been lots of pics leaked, and I like the look of the thing, it's the specs that...

    Most valuable NES game?

    I kind of stumbled upon this by accident when searching ebay for another game. I never played this, but damn is it worth a lot apparently...

    Grieving for my dying mouse.

    So I've had two of these old MS Intellimouse optical 1.1 mice over the years, I've always loved the button layout, having the back/forward buttons on opposite sides, rather than the left side like most mice these days. Unfortunately this one has started double clicking whenever I left click just...

    Can we talk about the baby boomers?

    This has been talked about in passing a little but I don't think we've ever had an entire thread. This came about because I was watching Real Time and it was mentioned just a bit on there, and I'd like to expand a bit on it. It seems that most of us here are in the 20-30 year old age range...

    Donald "Duck" Dunn dead at age 70.

    Don't know how many people here know who he was. Most probably know him from The Blues Brothers, he was the bassist with the pipe. Anyway, he died over the weekend in Japan. The guy played with a myriad of musicians over the years. If you've ever heard Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, that's...

    360 won't connect to wired network?

    Haven't used my 360 in a while. Today I turned it on and it refuses to connect to Live. It doesn't seem to even recognize it's connected to my wired network. Worked fine a few months ago. The only thing that's changed seems to be this new dashboard. I read there were some problems with it, but I...

    Dominique Strauss-Kahn facing charges of "aggravated pimping".

    Dominique Strauss-Kahn, that's the former chief of the IMF. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/dominique-dominique-strauss-kahn-charged-french-prostitution-case-214433254.html Aggravated pimping, have to say that's the first time I've heard of that charge.

    Does a college degree still pay off financially?

    I received an email today on the subject and it got me to thinking. I know that the financial benefit has been shrinking lately, it isn't quite the pay off it used to be. Still though, for the most part a higher education still means higher pay in one's career according to the data I've seen. I...

    If you could, what labour laws would you change?

    Personally I would change it so that salaried employees also get over time pay. I know too many salaried people who make relatively little and yet are working much more than 40 hours a week. Some working for the state are compensated with paid leave time later, but that's the state, certainly...

    What does an American look like?

    I've heard people say often that someone doesn't look American when referring to someone they think is foreign. Now there is the understanding of what they're probably getting at, but it still makes no sense to say such a thing. Americans have no particular race, language, religion, or anything...

    End of the Iraq war

    Surprised no thread has been made about this. According to the white house, all U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by the end of the year, essentially ending U.S. involvement in Iraq. http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20111022/NEWS02/710229903/0/news01

    Amazon Kindle Fire

    Not really sure about that name, for something that is essentially an e-reader, Fire seems like a weird name. Either way, it looks like it may be decent. I believe it has access to the amazon app store, so it at least will have more available than say the Nook Color. Still wish they'd open...
