well I'm glad you got all your rebates. I got my $150 software rebate on the night of the post after submitting it 5 months ago and dealing with multiple tiers of Indian BPO management. at least admit that the hoops can be a pain in the ass and not just as simple as putting an envelope in...

Don't forget the electronics rebate checks that never come.:mad:

Had a roomie that was a firefighter EMT and worked two days a week. Another roomie got paid $65/ hr to work from home at his convenience doing IT stuff.

ah, I see... mistaken... will now cower in corner.

I just did a Google search and you need to download hacker software to use any file sharing service other that iTunes. 99 cents a song does suck.

but isn't iTunes the only file sharing site that is compatible with the iPod? I haven't been able to find everything I want on BitTorrent

well I've gone through two non IPOD mp3 players. Three as I think about it. The first was a Dell and then two Samsungs (the last Samsung was a gift). Mp3 players apparently don't last very long. The thing I never liked about IPODs is that you have to download through ITUNES. Nevertheless...

Apple is one of the best product designers. There are lots of mp3 players on the market, yet the IPod is the best. The Iphone or whatever they call it could be huge.

The binding experiences would be media, pop culture, the internet, Hollywood, reality tv, etc. Everyone that plugs in can experience pretty much the same thing. One hundred years ago, people lived in sheltered communities not far from where they were born. The well-heeled had access to a...

One thing about interning at a prop firm is that it would allow you to get licensed really quick. You could then leverage the licensing for a better internship (deemphasizing the prop) and/ or better job options after graduation.

Yeah, he was a quixotic murderer and demagogue but not the worst in history. I agree with ya that a small country like Cuba can come around faster than a China.

The concept of "high culture" changes all the time. Van Gogh sold like one painting in his lifetime. The art establishment "MOMA" of his time thought that his paintings were garbage. They might have even had valid reasons for excluding Van Gogh from what they thought was "high culture." What...

That would be the super-rich class. Sociologists should update their definitions. They could replace blanket terms like "upper class," "working class," etcetera with more descriptive terms like "super-rich" and even politically correct terms like "financially challenged."

Ac- Cuba has a lot of potential. Havana was relatively prosperous catering to gringos prior to the revolution. Even if Cuba devolves into a quagmire of corruption, drug running and civil war in a few years it should be more commercialized than it is today. That would not be good for the...

The US upper class is not just about the money... never has been. "Upper class" people in the US have shared traditions and backgrounds, family connections and multi-generational wealth. There has traditionally been more class mobility in the USA than in Europe and Asia; however, the US upper...

Cuba's resources: travel, nickel, sugar, tobacco. Few stocks would immediately benefit from a capitalism friendly regime change. Raul has been leading the country since summer, so there will not be a shock factor when Fidel is declared dead.

Fidel might be dead. If not, he will be dead soon enough. He weilds power no more. The military show and Pan-American soiree they are putting on this week in Cuba is the passing of the baton to Raul Castro. Raul wants to initiate free market economic reforms akin to China. Raul is getting...

Another interesting idea is Cuba. It has untapped potential. Fidel is either dead or on his deathbed. This week's celebrations in Havana are a passing of the baton to Raul Castro who is not much younger than El Commandante. Raul is for economic reform. There are only a few stocks that I've...

either BRLC or BF.B or maybe LVMH. The BRLC has already run 300% since July though. GME or some other videogame stock will probably be hot.

Kinda ironic that his name is "Larry House" don't ya think? Surely he had gold and diamond encrusted bidets flowing Evian in all of those bathrooms.
