4-5 years on a computer is pretty good. I worked at a small mom and pop computer store while I was in school and I always laughed to old people who would come in and tell me they wanted to buy a computer that would last 10+ years. They thought it was like an appliance that should last forever.

^^^ I like the parts where the captains interact. I have the show recorded but havent watched it yet.

I switched from cable to DirecTV when I moved 1.5 years ago. I think it has a better selection of HD channels and it works better then cable does even during bad weather. The biggest con's are cost (a little more expensive then cable) and Im limited to 5 total boxes (2 HD-DVR's and 3 regular...

I went to school with a dude we called O'Charley.

Sounds like a pretty typical exam session. Good luck to you guys/gals.

I too am curious.

I have an electric Husky power washer and I would recommend it. The pressure it puts out was pretty good and it was cheap. So far its held up for 4 years of use and abuse. My biggest complaint was that managing the hose and power cable was a HUGE pain in the ass. The hose is a high pressure...

^^^ I read a study that showed the ratio of time the ball is in play to total game time for baseball is higher then for football. I gave up on baseball somewhere around my junior year of high school. I was a huge baseball fan but it seemed like all my favorite players were getting traded...

I found that the FERM prepared me less well for the FE then the ChERM prepared me for the PE. If you use X-ERM for your appropriate field I think just about anyone has a chance to pass the PE.

Pandora on the iPhone is the only thing that keeps me sane some days at work. Thumbs up! I also like Stitcher for listening to various podcasts.

Does anyone know what the requirements for teaching a PDH credit are? I would like to do a one or two hour training/presentation/engineering seminar for some of the people here at work and am wondering if this would count as PDH for them? I have been working on putting together a pretty...

I think the CFL is a piss poor replacement for the NFL. I mean come on...football...IN CANADA?!? Whos heard of such a thing. I really hope the NFL gets its shit together. Thats what we're talking about? Right?

I saw a report that the NFL makes almost as much money (~$9B) as the NBA (~$3-4B), MLB (~$5B) and NHL (~$1B) put together. And yet here we are talking about a strike. I dont know enough about the business of the NFL to really comment much about the lock out/strike/WHATEVER F*** YOU RICH...

This years bracket seems like a mess. Some of the seeds are just baffling to me. Florida a #2 seed despite being ranked 15th and losing in the SEC championship??? That doesnt seem right. Four Big East teams in one bracket? Yes I realize a lot got in but cramming four in one bracket was a...

I see a couple general trends in peoples thinking concerning this. One is the effect on the kids; kids will find out shes porn star (mostly teenagers), go look up her videos and they'll be corrupted, not listen to her, blah blah blah. I can actually see some validity in this as it is an...

This is bullshit. So she did some porn, who cares. Is she a good teacher? If yes, hired. If no, not hired. End of story.

Several of my friends are police officers. One of them shot and killed a drug dealer a few years ago after the guy ran from him and pulled a gun when he chased him. He ended up getting fired from the force due to some political bullshit. I guess shooting drug dealers who pull guns on you is...

Im no expert in nuclear power plants, but a couple guys here at the office come from nuclear backgrounds and said there could be a couple of problems. One is the reactor core is no longer pressurized and no longer circulating the coolant which is causing the water in the core to boil. As the...

Is it that soon to the test already? It seems like just yesterday this forum was filled with people waiting on results (I was lucky enough to be one of them). Good luck to you all. Studying burn out is pretty common, just try to push through it.
