    do not text list?

    http://gizmodo.com/5751159/how-do-i-block-...on-my-cellphone While you are charged for unwanted texts, if you call your carrier you should be able to get the charges removed, or get a credit. I agree with Roadwreck, Google Voice is great. When someone calls you, it prompts them for their name...

    Old Laptop turned into a DVR / Media Hub

    I think Media Portal can do that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaPortal http://www.team-mediaportal.com/ Your specs look a little bit below the minimum though, certainly for HD playback.

    Avatar = Pocahontas

    I can't argue with a lot of the criticism, but I saw it in 3D and liked it enough that I didn't mind the $15 cost per ticket.

    No bonuses this year or any other, average raise has gone down every year and until further notice it's 0 this year. No holiday party either.

    Recommend Your Refrigerator

    The energystar ratings weren't very good, but I saw some really nice looking Samsung refrigerators with the bottom freezer. I think one model even had a powered drawer, so you just lifted the handle and it did the rest of the work. http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/applian...type=prd_detail

    Windows 7

    I started using Windows 7 when it was they offered RC1 for trial use back in the summer. Although I haven't had any issues with Vista, I really like Windows 7 a lot more. There's a lot of small changes that really make a big difference.

    Foreclosures: 'Worst three months of all time'

    An admin assistant at my job said she didn't want to wait to have nice things when she was old, so she bought a new car that cost more than her yearly salary. Later she bought a house and I can remember doing the math and seeing that her gross monthly income wasn't enough to cover the mortgage...

    Premiere Night

    I watched the last couple episodes of FlashForward on hulu, it's starting to get interesting, but some of the ways they're putting the puzzle together are just plain silly.

    Premiere Night

    I watched it on hulu, some of the acting was a little cheesy, but it was interesting, I'll watch again. I had high hopes for Fringe, but the writing and acting were better suited for late night on SyFy.

    Premiere Night

    I already watched Community on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OPYUSM I thought it was pretty good, I'll watch more this season. The Office, Fringe, and Survivor are all back. I've never seen Fringe, but I may start tonight.

    FX TV shows

    Interesting example for versatile usage of MathCAD

    I was at a Pro/E conference where they showed it and I tried to think of a way to justify asking for it at work... couldn't come up with anything.
