  1. How can they interoperate? on Cisco VP Explains Lawsuit Against Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just don't understand how Apple's phone and Cisco's phone would inter-operate. I know that if I bought one, why the hell would I want it to inter-operate with that phone? It seems Cisco wants to be friends with Apple and Apple is too cool for friends. It's kind of pathetic.

  2. Re:Hehehe. on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Rutgers? I've heard the same. I went there but never had stuff stolen. Anyway, I suggest just keeping your shit out of other peoples eyes. You never should show your shit off, especially to people who know what it is you have and how valuable it is. If you show your shit off, you will increase the likelihood of someone seeing your stuff as potentially theirs.

  3. Home Stretch on On Balancing Career & College... · · Score: 1

    I am 24 and have been in and out of school for the past 7 years. The whole internet bubble fiasco pulled me out at 21, promising me cash out the ass. But as we all saw, that didn't last. With my experience, I have begun a small freelance shop doing all types of web, computer, and graphics related work. I also began school again. A degree is something that you can't lose unlike a job or a business.

    Business has been increasing and it has a definite affect on school. To be honest there needs to be a balance. I am taking 12 credits this semester, two comp-sci courses and physics.

    I have to admit, when I was just out of high school, I partied way too much in college. My view of college back then was that is was a place to drink until losing conscience and hopefully waking up next to a hot chick (never happened). Needless to say school suffered from that behavior.

    Now on the other hand, I am doing really well. It is probably because after all my work experience, I know how to budget my time, and take my studies seriously. I truly feel that I enjoy school now. I am learning all types of things that work can't really teach you. All of my self-taught skills such as programming, networking, and graphics are being enhanced by the theoretical material I am learning in school.

    If you have a business, don't let it go because of school. There is a way you can do both, but you just have to work just as hard at both.

    All of my friends have graduated. All of my siblings. All of my cousins. Now I am on the way. This is my last year and now I am finally on the home stretch. It really feels good.

  4. wouldn't be able to sleep without the hummmmmmmmm on Making Your Room Quiet · · Score: 1

    It feels as if I am so used to the machines (5 or 6 on any given day) that if I were to quiet them down, I would feel like I was missing somthing.

    I guess you get used to what you have to live with.
