The real reason everyone hates IT support. While this ordinary and every day call was made to HP, this could have been almost any company that has phone support for their customers. I cannot say that our helpdesk is any better. via Digg

For all of you wondering, here is where NASA is on the road to faster than light travel. I guess we will have to settle for SciFi. via digg

UPDATE: Here's some interesting speculation.
Scientists have found no link between intelligence and wealth. With the amount of rich idiots out there, how could this not be true? Who buys a gold plated iPod anyway? Amassing wealth is a learned skill. It's just that it has been purposefully left out of the curriculum. Or maybe it's accidental. I would imagine that what is true for wealth is especially true for power. They just don't know better.
Get ready for the super cheap car. It may be ugly, but it bothers me to no end that a significant amount of my money goes into the payment and support of my transportation. But they probably won't even sell them here, because they would rather sell us a $25-50K vehicle that sits in a parking lot most of the day.

Why does your waistline correlate to your income? Because in America, higher caloric junk food is cheaper than lower caloric good food. And the main reason for this is, of course, politics and corruption.

I am amazed at all of the commercials everyday for weight loss products when the solution is very simple, stop eating crap! All that stuff in the middle of the supermarket that comes in pretty packaging is BAD for you! It's bad because those companies get LOTS of money to sell you crap. Do yourself and take two simple things out of your diet and I promise you will lose weight. The first is high fructose corn syrup. I am not going to debate whether or not it's good or bad for you, but I can tell you that anything it's in also has twenty-five things that are bad for you. The other thing is processed carbohydrates It doesn't matter if it's wheat, corn, potatoes or rice. All of it is lacking the nutrients and fiber your body needs. Processed carbs are also in the packaged junk food you don't need to eat as well. I have lost over fifty pounds in the last two years by removing these items from my diet. I still eat lot of things that are considered bad for me like steaks, sweets, cheese, and pasta. But my waistline has dropped eight inches and my cholesterol has gone from 185 to 115.

Do yourself a favor and do like my wife says, buy only items along the edge of the grocery store and buy organic as much as possible. If you live in Alabama, try Grow Alabama. They will deliver fresh organic produce directly to your door!
