If you're doing well in a medical, math, or science program, and aren't having trouble paying for it, I can't see any reason to drop it, except for a serious business opportunity. Many degrees aren't worth so much, but sciency ones tend to be requirements, if you're going to go into actual...

Good Luck Chuck - 1/10 I watched to the end, hoping something would twist towards the end for the better, you know, and...it didn't. The ending was worse than the whole rest of it. Not to mention the whole jumping off a hybrid thing--come on, have somebody with a clue on the set, OK? Fear...

300 - 3/10 Huh. Kind of neat, I guess. I do not regret not seeing it before TNT had it on. License to Wed - 5/10 Mostly meh. While maybe not the greatest actress of our time, Mandy Moore has much more potential than is used in this movie, and it could have been used for her character...

This thread needed a good necro. I just got an email from J-List, and what was linked, and available in the Jbox side of things, but... Headphone Girls : A Pictorial Book ~ Headphone Shojo Gahou

I make maybe half to three quarters of the food I eat. I'm partial to soups, grains, and noodles. I'll see if I can find the right cable, and maybe get a pic or two up (non-standard mini-USB on camera). Just today, I made miso soup with shiitake, green onions, and herring (canned carnivorous...

I wrecked my car, and so finally broke down and got a phone. The potentially good phones from AT&T had major flaws (like bad battery life due to not being able to turn 3G off, as one I was looking at had). So I paid full price for what seemed like a decent phone with a camera (RIZR). It does...

Do you have the diagram mentioned handy? I don't see that in the Headroom article linked (I see shield tied to power ground).

Lethal Weapon - 7/10 It stands the test of time, man. That we have crap like Rush Hour these days...*sigh* Lethal Weapon 2 - 6.5/10 Silly in ways, and little too star-studded, but a worthy sequel. Also, I like anything where Pesci plays a sleazy sort-of-good guy. P.S. nothing's more...

If there's nothing in for sale that works (a portable that takes DC in aught to be OK), the only cheapish one I've read of is the HP4...but, as to how it actually sounds: ???.
