I'm not a cheapass when it comes to: Clothing, Beer, Electronics. (which are three major things, but still) Other than that, everything else I skimp on. I don't go out to eat, won't spend money are pointless junk, refuse to buy video games at full price, I don't buy soda in bottles, always from...

I can sum up my entire rant after reading this and re-reading what Koggit said. Chose your major wisely. Don't go to school for something solely based on the career achievements that you hope to gain from it. Go to school for something you enjoy and are passionate about.

My brain was reduced to a somewhat viscous liquid after reading this thread. In theory, isn't allowing something to not be accessed on the internet considered a breach of Freedom of Speech/Freedom of Press? Sure, our forefathers never imagined we would have broadband speed porn, but still...

It is major specific, as I can think of many programs you absolutely will not make it through from the university I went to (Oklahoma State) unless you give it 100% of your effort. Engineering, architecture, biology, and chemistry are definitely some big ones. Basically, the hard sciences are...

I'm with this cat ^^. Starting this fall for my M.S. in either Telecom or MIS. Either way, though, academia is not what it used to be. A bachelor's is cursory, so it's not special anymore, and it's basically been dumbed down so anyone can obtain it as long as they have a pulse, which is what...

In that case, I would definitely at least give splitting it into two separate parts a shot. With any kind of database there needs to be certain locks in place for instances where there are multiple connections at once and making changes at once. Basically, when a user is connected to a...

How do you have it set up? Is it a single file dropped on a network location? Or do you have it split into Frontend and Backend? If it's not split, I would recommend it, but try it out first before you take your production database down. Also, read this...

Well now I am glad I didn't watch any more of it. It seemed like it was going to be trash, and I just couldn't handle another terrible movie. Although that horror movie was fun to watch because it was a room full of us laughing at it the entire time. I really wish I could remember the name of it.

A gun also has the utility factor of giving you the ability to hunt. Which, I probably wouldn't need an AR15 for, but could use my Ruger 10/22 just fine. But I would still want something with some stopping power if I needed to use it for defense. Sure, a .22LR will kill someone if you get a...

+1 But for real, that dude got what he deserved. That old guy was probably in Keh Sanh choking out the VC with his bare hands. I was staring at the girl next to him almost the whole time, but not because she was hot, it's because I was trying to figure out if she was wearing purple aerobics pants.

I considered doing that, but then I realized it was a little bat-shit crazy of me. Plus, I don't have the $1200 to go drop on an AR15, and then another $1000 for an asston of rounds. But I didn't intend on snapping and mowing people down in public places, either.

Yes, which I guess is actually a terrible presumption. Which makes me woner what the real rate of wrongful sentencing is. So maybe it's not such a good idea.

I guess it's not really Non-Blockbusters, just stuff that may have flown under the radar or didn't get the appreciation that it should have. Yes! That movie is amazing, I just saw it about 3 weeks ago after a friend recommended it. I'm considering watching it again now. And as far as people...

I'd have to agree. It has nothing to do with the fact she was a liberal. It has everything to do with the fact that she wasn't liked in academic politics, and she didn't like that fact. There is no motive for her to kill her coworkers for them not liking Obama. Especially with what myke said...

Since there is the Horror/freaky movie thread, it made me curious as to what everyones 'secret' movie favorites are. Basically, the movies that never made much attention, even if they have a cult following or whatever. Mine is probably either Sweet and Lowdown with Sean Penn or Rules of...

I've seen Crash a few times and it's a decent flick. I haven't seen any of the others, but have been repeatedly told to watch Dead Ringers and Videodrome. I guess I need to watch The Descent too, since a lot of people are listing that on here.

My vagina is quite a gaping one. I'm sticking to The Cell for the weird-out factor. Now that I re-read through this thread again, definitely a couple of movies Someone mentioned Naked Lunch, that movie just was weird and I never did finish watching it, but I would like to. It makes me want to...

Have you watched either of the Big 2 National News channels at all within the past year? That argument always comes up, and I more or less completely disagree with it, or at least it can be negated by the fact that some people LOVE him for the exact same reason. It's an illogical argument, and...

What about 'The Cell'? It wasn't really a horror movie, but it freaked me out a little bit the first time I saw it just for the sheer...oddness of it. That scene where the red cape is blowing around everywhere, for some reason, always put a weird image in my mind that creeped me out.
