Another one bites the dust. I don't even recognize the web anymore, it seems like a giant shopping mall more than ever before.

So I'm going to start another business. I ran a mobile computer service business from 2002 til 2007 when I had to move, so I sold it and got a job. Since then I have been in corporate I.T. but running side gig businesses ever since. Now i'm living on unemployment, which I know won't last...

Title: Fear City: New York vs The Mafia Genre: Documentary, Crime First aired: 2020-07-22 Overview: New York City in the 1970s was ruled with a bloody fist by five mafia families, until a group of federal agents tried the unthinkable: taking them down.

I didn't see a thread for this, but I thought it might be interesting to chat about hax, attacks and bugs going around, and advice on how to block them, or cause them. For instance, there was a recent attack via the Blizzard Update Agent that I figured may be relevant to some people's interests...

Let's share/rant about our stupid, annoying, asshole customers. I'll start. I got this as a reply to a 3 step "Click this, then that" email about a software feature. Specifically, a add-on icon in Outlook is now red, and it used to be yellow. "Followed the directions and, as I expected, it did...

Does anyone do anything outside of your normal job to make some extra money? What do you do? How much do you make from it? Are you building it to one day leave your current job or is it just something you're going to keep on the side? I work in IT full time but on the side I run a amazon FBA...

How do you guys get your audiobooks? I tried Audible and it is easy, but seems too expensive for what you get. 1 book a month doesn't seem like much. I only typically buy 1-2 books a year in physical form. So I found a good tracker and downloaded a few, but the audio quality varies and there...

Anyone going this year?

Written by the Coen brothers, directed by George Clooney. Looking forward to this one. Suburbicon (2017) - IMDb

What have you done to make yourself less trackable or private online? I'm just wondering if anyone else is as concerned as I am about big companies having so much access to our personal data and lives. It seems like it's getting worse with every new service or gadget. For instance, do you...

Hate the name, but I'm excited for this movie. Reminds me of the new Sherlock Holmes films.

TV show about the Precogs from the movie. Long trailer but looks fuckin great.

What are your thoughts on buying older Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc... vs. newer, cheaper cars? For instance, I was readingthis articleabout a 2006 Mercedes S-Class that was on eBay for the same price as a new Honda Civic at $24K. This sounds tempting because i'm a bit of a snob, but is the...

Anyone using Google/Gmail Inbox? Is it cool or hype or what? Can someone send me an invite? I'm not sure if I care about it, but i got bit by the curiosity bug.

Buddy of mine has a good idea for a app so he started a Kickstarter (...he Kickstarted?) anyway... I've used the google spreadsheet that the app is based on and it does indeed kick ass so I'd like to see this app get made. Check it out:Hand to Mouth Budget App by Brad Kickstarter

Not every ones cup of tea on this board, but I saw it this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. LOLd a couple of times. Oh and Kate Upton tits.

Anybody running a computer service business full time? Business has slowed to a crawl where I am, in southern California. I've lowered my prices gradually down from $90 to $50 per hour for general spyware removal type stuff, but I have a minimum of 2 or 3 hours for servers or networks. I'm...

This morning, mine was The Hangover

I just saw a chart that said Google+ was the second most used social network. I call bullshit. What do you use on a regular basis?

Mine is 1 Vs. 100

Looks good. Great casting for Julian Assange.

Is anybody collecting any more? I recently pulled out a few thousand cards from storage from the late 80s, early 90s and got the bug again to collect.. but damn, it's hard to figure out what to buy. I mostly did baseball before, but baseball players seem so fucking boring now, like there arent...

http://www.starpulse.com/news/Casey_...atman_in_justi So who is the torch going to be passed to? Sam Worthington? Jon Hamm? Guy Pearce? Tom Hardy?

In general, what side of the fence are you on? More specifically, please help me make up my mind. My apt lease is up September 30 and I need a bigger place, so I'm looking around at 2/2 apt and home rentals and the average is $1500 / mo. But I'm seeing a lot of houses in the areas I like for...

Wow this looks good... An entry-level employee at a powerful corporation finds himself occupying a corner office, but at a dangerous price: he must spy on his boss's old mentor to secure for him a multi-billion dollar advantage.

My job has a good salary and low responsibilities but zero fringe benefits. No water coolers, no coffee, a barely working microwave, a vending machine that charges double the price of a convenience store and expensive health insurance (company contributes the bare minimum). The morale and turn...

Loved Incredibad and Turtleneck & Chain. Looking forward to The Wack Album.

Any chance it can be as good as the first one?

Anyone have their MCSA or MCSE for Server 2012? What books did you buy to study for it? How were the exams? I can't get my work to send me to a boot camp, but I still want to get it.

Is anyone using Quora.com or Branch.com? They look like they are taking a page from Google Wave and trying to "reinvent" the forum format or threaded discussions.

So a guy at hollywood.com went through 53 different top movies lists and gave each movie points, depending it's rank in the list. So his top 10 is: 1. Zero Dark Thirty: 291 2. The Master: 202 3. Argo: 170 4. Amour: 152 5. Beasts of the Southern Wild: 132 6. Lincoln: 156 7...

I was told by a friend that is a security guard at a movie theater that people rarely sneak into movies anymore. I found this hard to believe because as a teenager, we did everything we could to not pay for a movie ticket. I don't go out of my way to sneak in the back door or side door of a...

Wolverine goes to Japan. Adapted from the 1982 Frank Miller series. I like that it's a stand alone movie and really not related to the origins movie.

The kickstarter closed earlier this year,http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...rry-come-again I've been following the dev forums here:http://forums.replaygamesinc.com/vie...e2c468687f1fcd

Do you pay for health insurance at work? I just found out i'm eligible for health/dental/vision insurance, but I'm hesitant to spend the $200 a month or so to get it.
