    Tequila

    I am trying to shed some pounds, and I know that beer any decent beer has way too many calories. A good friend of mine introduced me to tequila, I have tried a few and enjoyed them. Currently I am enjoying El Jimador (silver). My only problem is that some of them are bloody expensive, now I am...

So other then going in and manually removing all the crap, what is a good freeware antivirus software. I remember back in the day I used to use spybot. I have not had to do this sort of...

    Contract work

    I really had no idea what was changed for this sort of work. I was just ballparking base on previous salaries. The wife talked to a couple of the guys who run the law firms IT dept where she works and said 60 - 70. I guess I will have to reconsider what to charge.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Hyperion is one of the best pieces of SF ever written, and unfortunately like Dune the rest simply do not compare to the first. However unlike Dune the Sequels to Hyperion do not suck nearly as badly, Endymion the third book is the series is definitely the weakest of the series but they are all...

    MTG thread

    I play legacy and EDH almost exclusively. Standard is too expensive to play nobody plays vintage, and the problem with modern is that for format feels contrived. Anywho I love the primordials for EDH, but I do not see alot for legacy, other then unexpected results, I have a feeling that it is...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Excellent SciFi reads Dan Simmons - Hyperion series, Illium, and Olympos. The best Sci FI you will ever read hands down. Orson Scott Card, Enders Game. The others in the series, and the Bean series are good books, however it is like comparing Dune to its Sequels, they all pale in comparison...
