It is an unfortunate truth that "haters gonna hate" as they would say.

Whenever I have the urge to hate, I try and ask myself first if I have the right to indulge in hate (am I trying as hard as them?). Then I ask if I should get worked up over it, or try and forget about it. Then I make sure that I haven't just spent the whole day being negative. I try not to get caught up on infuriating things for more than a few minutes a day and just refocus my energies. This guy has the right idea.

I really like this format for uploading videos of a talk. Excellent to-the-point speaker as well.

That's the URL I had on file as well. Great documentation on that site too.

I'm not sure how to explain the Big Bang, but I'm fairly confident we'll now have to do it without using the word 'is'.

Something for Bill Clinton to do in his retirement?

I don't think he did it consciously.

I put in House of the Dead and it gave me bird houses. Does it even use Amazon at all? Plus, it needs to search cafepress/zazzle.

I would say that she failed this test. But really, I feel that the phone companies are most complicit in this. They're the ones that receive the complaints first and should be able to warn their customers when they're going to get billed at places like these. Is there some type of legal issue, or could the phone companies choose to block those "renew your car insurance" calls from their customers too?

I agree there is such a large revenue base because you can be scammed relatively easy into subscribing by phone... it should not be this easy there should be a terms of service or a signup that you have to agree to. It is the phone companies fault in my opinion and there should be options to disable it, especially since younger children are very susceptible to this thing like text ##### to get a free ringtone of your favorite artist then in impossible to read text there is a 9.95 subscription included.

Phone companies won't do that unless if they are forced to do so by law or a governing authority. Each one of them takes a big percentage of the money that is charged to their client. Last time I checked it was around 50%. Why would they throw that away?

Read it as "Voodoo is dead, employees getting computers in lieu of wages" Was all, "Sweeeeet!"

Thanks everyone. I'm going to UCSD.

Care to share how you decided in the end?

Thanks.
