You may come to find that 95% of people are assholes anyway. And the remaining 5% are perfect assholes. I don't too much believe in friends just different people with different agendas. I would say of all the people I've met in my life >=.01% where for any period of time actually friends. If anything work on diplomacy and worry about yourself. As for members of the other sex, just remember they're after the same thing you are only thing is their brains are fu¢ked.
Re:RIM Must Switch To Android Now, Before It's Too Late on Saturday August 21, 2010 @03:45PM (#1623498)
Maybe RIM could work on porting apps to android behind the scenes and then when everyone wants android on there bberries, bam. That os is free and open source, right?

thought #2 open source to != profit. Ever heard of apple, microsoft, cisco, etc.

Companies need to protect there intellectual property.

I read a trick that has worked for me but, it might just be placebo effect.

Can't find the word your searching for? Rapidly look with your eyes left and right a few times and it may jolt your memory.

Re:Experiment: Can You Mine Gold From Old Motherboards? on Wednesday August 04, 2010 @09:08AM (#1574382)
If you research it a bit you'll find there are a few processes to get back the gold. Some more hazardous yielding higher returns while some are more cautious. I looked at it a while back and one process seemed feasible for DIY gold recovery but, you'll need to collect thousands of pounds of boards. Where you could do that I have no idea.

Reloading whole pages when an iFrame would be much better.
