@Tony Bologna: I highly doubt the worries stop at well done meat. Again, "well done" is technically over cooked.

@FrankReality: It's been some time since I've seen a real raid controller without a battery. I think part of the issue is that people confuse a controller that costs hundreds to thousands with one that comes on a $75 motherboard ;)

@TheFu: I honestly don't trust software raid period. I have seen it burn far too many people over the years and never under any circumstances would I use it. I either run hardware or not at all.

There seems to be some confusion here. Too many people look at RAID as a way to preserve data, that isn't why it exists. It exists to reduce downtime not prevent it entirely. There is no substitute for a complete backup.

@drno31: Live your life, don’t be afraid of it.

@AmphetamineCrown: He left out a step. You have to heat the skillet first. When I do steaks I max out the skillet in the oven (575 is my max), steak in on the burner, couple minutes per side, back in the oven. It crusts right up.

I don't know about this... I get a thick crust on my burger by flipping once. My meat is never unevenly cooked, I mean it's a hamburger, unless you are making a 1lb'er I don't see the issue.

@destryer: It's the same in Linux, OSX, and Windows. I've been running Linux since 97 and while it's a great OS it fails epically on the desktop. Webservers, ldap, print, and the like is another story.

@Tracer: That is a GREAT list! Wow... Thanks man!

@iSmithx_reloaded: I use Great News.

@Thibault: It's buried. If you go to your profile you can see it is still listed.

I'll believe it when I see it!

@TheFu: I'm in the process actually, my state has free money (granted it's my tax dollars, but whatever) up for grabs to go back to school when you are unemployed. The ball is rolling... ;)

Even though I was laid off I still try to get up early 6:xx to stay in the habit.

Te be completely honest when I meet or see a woman glasses are one the last things I notice.

@That-One-Person:Says the kid with the iPhone and a netbook.

Google's interfaces aren't that good in my opinion. That's not to say that they don't do exactly what they need to, but they lack pizazz and in many cases much needed contrast.

@DevourerKwi: If you lie on Turbo Tax you will get a similar return.

@SpriteMV: Many of us have been using it for ages. While it isn't the cheapest I have never once been screwed and it's always been right on (I always double check which to date has been a waste of time).

@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher: They offer discounts if you have a Sears card, BoA, Schwab, and others. The discounts range from 25% to 40% (or maybe it was 35%, I forget).
