Do you feel GMail is the leader / No.1 in email services?

sivanj @sivanj (1263) • India 24 Aug 08

Gmail has grown from the day it was introduced. today according to me it is the NO.1 email service provider with no or little hassles. Do you agree? Do you still want to have emails and folders concept (as in other email...

Julie Yes, I do think it's currently the leader. Labels are an improvement on folders--they function like tags. This allows a many-to-many relationship between labels and emails, which gives much more flexibility than the traditional folder structure. I'm sure...

Julie To give you fair warning, you won't be making a lot of money from freelancing jobs, as there are many people who can afford to offer extremely cheap prices. However, if you're up to it, here are the sites I've...

What we study is really worthful and can we implement in our future?

laxmikantkalgutkar @laxmikantkalgutkar (2) 24 Aug 08

According to me what we study is not a worth, it's just a formality for a degree which we do in order to get a specific specialized job or an designation.

Julie That depends on how you approach what you study, and what topics you choose to study. If you approach your study as just a diploma, or as a way to earn lucratively, then of course you'll think it's worth little in the end. If, on the other hand, you approach...

Julie Well, you only have a week left, so you might want to do something that won't require a big time dedication. I'd suggest browsing some of the university courses that are posted online. There's a large collection of mp3s and pdfs that several universities have...

Julie Do I support it as in do I give money to it? No. Do I think it's a good idea? To an extent, yes. I think it's a good idea to have such a large collection of information, especially since the information is readily available (and easy to fact-check)....

Julie I get dizzy as well. It really just depends on the person, some people are more susceptible to car-sickness than others. For some reason, I also tend to feel more dizzy when I'm in cars with a certain smell to them (it's usually leather that causes this...

Importance of GRE scores in grad school admittance?

danrunsfast614 @danrunsfast614 (1396) • United States 13 Aug 08

Does anyone know how important these are? I'm curious what I need to pull to get into a good school.

2 responses

Julie Well, it depends on what you mean by good. GRE scores aren't the only things grad schools consider--they also look at your GPA. In general, with the two things combined, if you want to get into an average grad school, aim for a GRE score of around 1000 and a...

When schooling getting bored, what is the way to recreate

rkrish @rkrish (3003) • India 13 Aug 08

When going to school becomes boring, is there is any way to recreate and make that as really interesting

Julie Well, it depends. Is school becoming boring because you were never interested in the subjects you're studying to begin with? Or is it becoming boring because your teachers aren't good at lecturing, but you still enjoy the subject? If it's the former, you...

Julie Ahh, I have some cousins in China who've also stressed to me the importance of the College Entrance Exams there. I'm currently living in the U.S., and I don't think there's any one exam that's extremely important. The SATs, SAT2s and AP tests might (all of...

angusthethird @angusthethird (515) • United States 12 Aug 08

Julie I dislike this type of teaching. My French teacher was like this quite a lot, and it led me to really dislike learning the language in general (because I'm consistently reminded of her every time I encounter the language). She expects everyone to have...

Julie Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea--it pretty much amounts to bribery. Instead of grading each student based on merit, each student would be graded based on the amount of money they have (as only the rich can afford to lavish the teacher with presents)....

Julie I rarely bring anything in there...but if I had to bring something, it would most likely be water. I sometimes like popcorn, but I don't think I'd be able to stomach eating bagfuls of popcorn throughout a movie (well, obviously I do share with friends, but...

Julie Well, usually the post office sells stamps, right? But I'm not sure about you for where you live, so I can't say. It's been a while since I've written letters, but I usually write them if I'm making formal inquiries into something. For instance, if it's a...

Julie If it's an internet startup, I'd suggest TechCrunch (http://www.techcrunch.com/). It posts quite a bit about technology startups, and if your startup gains any kind of momentum, you might be able to garner multiple posts there. However, keep in mind that...
