Which browsers do you have installed on your computer? Which ones do you actually use? I used to be a web developer, so I still have a large array of browsers installed, ranging from Internet Explorer to Firefox to Opera to...

What are the worst books that you've actually managed to finish? For me it would probably be Eragon, as I thought the plot was extremely overused and ill-defined. In general though, I don't finish books that deem bad, so my...

Julie Yeah, I think a lot of people who read Catcher in the Rye outside of their teenage years tend to find Holden Caulfield to be very annoying. I met lots of people who've read the book when they were younger and loved it, only to despise it when they went back...

How big is your school in terms of population? My school has several thousand people (I think around two thousand), and I suppose it's medium-size for a high school. Still, in terms of the amount of space the school occupies, we...

I recently read an article here [ http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/ClassDivisions.html ] outlining the correlation Facebook and Myspace had with social class. It was an interesting read, positing that Myspace had more lower...

Julie Well, I think the statement in the article was more of a generalization--it's not meant to apply to every single person on each site. Besides, lower class doesn't equal "bad", as you seem to be presuming, nor does upper class equal "good". They are merely...

What are your opinions on U.S.'s no-distribution-to-minors alcohol law? Do you think it's actually useful in preventing underage drinking or if it really only serves as a mostly unenforced law? I always thought it was interesting...

I found an interesting site recently that lets you see anonymous Wikipedia edits in realtime. Here's the url: http://www.lkozma.net/wpv/ Although I suppose this isn't necessarily all that useful, it does serve as an interesting...

I've read a large amount of nonfiction, and so I have a pretty hard time deciding which ones I like the most. I think /Smartest Guys in the Room/ was a very informative book, and /Guns, Germs, and Steel/ brought up a lot of...

I was just curious---do any of you feel compelled to point out other people's mistakes in spelling and grammar (or, more adequately labeled, be a grammar/spelling nazi)? Sometimes I feel like the mistake is so egregious that I...
