I switched to using Gmail's web interface when I was on windows. Sadly, Outlook is the best windows mail client I think. Thunderbird is so clunky.

10 pushups. Blood flowing, quick, back to work

When I was in college I took about a ream-worth of paper printed on one side, flipped it over, punched holes in it and took lecture notes on it. Basically the only place you COULDN'T use it is when you need to make an impression on a customer/boss/etc. You could just reuse it in other cases and if anyone ever asks you

Name-brand tupperware is the most useful thing ever

How are you doing it? Searching job listing sites? My suggestions:

Go to Mexico and check on who is in control: the drug lords or the the police. If you're buying drugs you're partially responsible

My ethical point should still stand though. Just because it is disclosed that they do not believe in the rapture doesn't mean that the people are not getting exploited in due to their instability

This kind of thing has been around before this. Yet another move in the increasingly depressing need that the "new atheists" have to be more militant and annoying. Usually people who subscribe to doomsday cults are unstable people who need others to speak wisdom into their life with gentleness and care, rather than to

I'd rather let paypal take a pittance and have the security involved

Another issue: if I make an online purchase, how can I prove that I paid and that the vendor won't take the money and run? Anonymous transfers != a good thing

This is going to be bigger than the segway
