If your broke and you need some money how do you get it?

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 31 Mar 09

Well if I am broke and I need some money in a hurry I will go to the pawn shop and get a loan. I will list something for sale, or do some of my instant payout sites. What do you do when you need some money in a hurry?

praetorian1026 hi, I don't think you can install itunes natively on Linux, there are installations that use CrossOver or Wine - which are basically emulations of the underlying Windows system so that you can run Windows apps. You can go down that route, personally though...

praetorian1026 If you installed on Dec, and it expired just now, I"m guessing that you didn't activate it. I"m not sure if there's any version of Vista that's not full version, all of the editions of Vista (Home, Home Basic, Business, Ultimate etc) either comes in OEM...

praetorian1026 There's no easy answer on that one, apples and oranges (no pun intended). I've used both Mac (OSX variety) and Windows (from 3.1 all way to the Windows 7 on beta right now). I'd say it just depends on your familiarity, I don't have problems doing my stuff on...

praetorian1026 I got a 1420, it's great little machine. I'm not too sure though if you can push the graphics capability, but for just typing assignments, that will be a walk in the park for that machine. thanks

praetorian1026 hi, for your needs, I don't think you're limited to Apple and Dell, you also mentioned that budget is a bit tight, I'm not sure Dells and Apples fit into the picture (although Dell would have entry level laptops). I'd take a look around some more if I...

praetorian1026 I didn't see it in the choices, but Safari is the one I use most of the time. I've used Firefox, IE and Opera sparingly -- only to test web pages for compatibility. For software development though, I favor Firefox, it has a lot of tools that helps developers...
