    How is this insightful? This is one of the best (worst) trolls of the year!

    It's amazing how many people fall for this nonsense.

    For general cooking, measurements don't need to be so exact you have to measure it to the gram.

    "Staring out of the window" can be very much a part of studying. If by studying you mean "learning the book by heart, page by page" it is not. If you mean "real" studying, ie. trying to think about the subject matter, learning not just what and how but also why something is the way it is you'll find yourself looking at the window (or the table or the floor, or picking your nose or whatever) more often than not.

    I stared out the window while I was studying to watch the cars drive and people walk.

    I have no experience of what it may be like out in rural America beyond the reach of broadband Internet and cable television.

    We have DirecTV and Dish Network for TV along with Wild Blue\Hughes Net\3G coverage for internet.

    I guess all us rural people are inbred and play the banjo. But we'll still make you squeal like a pig...

    During a hurricane or blizzard, turn on the radio if you can't get TV signal. A hurricane will more than likely kill power and my TV doesn't take batteries like my radio!

    Correction: most of today's economic recession was caused by profit-driven lenders allowing people to borrow money and purchase homes that were beyond their means.

    Most of today's economic recession was caused by the government guaranteeing mortgages taken out by greedy consumers who wanted bigger houses and greedy lenders who wanted more money.

    Greed goes around a lot further than just greedy lenders.

    Government doesn't make a good catalyst.

    Don't forget you have to add a big Dell sticker (or your computer brand) on your computer to increase speed. It works for the ricers when they put a big Honda sticker on their windshield or an Injen sticker on their window. I'll probably give you an extra 100MHz!
