RIP Laney. I hope they name one of their machines after you as a mark of respect for showing us how it's meant to be done. Have fun with the squirrels buddy!

In all fairness, her name was Tony, not the Toni that a girl would expect to use. But none of her friends ever admitted to it though. If it was sent for real, then I think the company must have thought they were sending it to a 16 y/o guy.

A friend of mine's wife worked at a bank where she also had her account and credit cards. Her boss told her one day that unless she got her loans up to date and got rid of most of her debt, not only would she not be considered for promotion, but she might lose her job. I have no idea if they had a right to do that.…

I had the same thing happen to me. I think most people have had something similar. I've heard of people getting info for car loans and insurance on their 17th birthday. Credit card forms on their 18th. One GIRL I knew actually got a coupon for a discount off condoms on her 16th birthday. Although that's the only one I…

I think that one of the main problems with our world today is that at some point, someone made a decision that was ethically wrong. The banks and finance houses made a decision that they knew could blow up in their faces, but they still did it. Websites track you and sell your information knowing that you probably…

This guy is my hero! Too many kids are growing up thinking that the world owes them. And because they don't want to actually do anything to earn success, they fail and are angry with everyone for screwing up their lives. Seriously kids, read up on history and see just what every successful person had to do to get…

Whenever I ate out, assuming I didn't already know what I was going to order before I got there, (like I had been dreaming of steak all day) I would do one of two things.

This isn't really Apple or any other manufacturers problem. This is a problem caused by consumers. Sure the companies want to make as much profit as possible. And the easiest way is to keep costs down. So they have their product built in a country that can do it for pennies on the dollar that it would cost them in the…

@Jason Torchinsky.

I have to agree with you on this one Tom. I think the old Mercedes are pretty much bullet proof and I still see the occasion one going on the road. Build quality was just so good that they are still around. I'm pretty sure that if you did some research you would find some poor city or a poor country where these cars…

Ok, this is pretty cool! One thing I would like to see done differently though. If it was possible to have a 'cross hair' mounted to the glass that could pick the ball up and then drop it at the next start point. Then the magnets under the sand could draw the part needed before the cross hair picks up the ball again…

Just on the off chance that she's right... I really hope she's wrong about George Michael. I like that guy and would hate to see him leave us so soon. I know he seems to have issues with passing out due to taking too many drugs, at least according to the media. But just in case he happens to ever read this, take it…

Jack O'Neill: "IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING?"

That is one of the most annoying things about DVDs to me, is the forcing you to sit through content because you can't skip it. I paid for the disk so I can own the movie. Stop pissing me off by making me watch stuff I'm not interested in. It would be like selling you a book and forcing you to read the forward every…

I think the easiest way to stop piracy would be to reduce the price of the media to a more reasonable amount. Lets say $20. I know there have been studies done saying that a reduced price wouldn't deter piracy. But I honestly don't think that would be the case. Some people will always use pirated software just because…

Ah yes.. the fun one has being Scottish in the English speaking world. Here is a story for you guys...

This is awesome! I want some of these so badly! And I don't care if Skynet equips them with lazers when the uprising comes and they kill us all.... because there is nothing wrong with dying from something so awesome! God I love technology. :-)

From what he said, he could get prescriptions for it, but no insurance would cover it. So he was saving up to buy them whenever he needed them. He tried to throw a LOT of them at me to take back with me, but I'm not a user so have no need to take the risks involved with trying to get them through international…
