I am new to internet and broadband usage. While Australia leads the world in many things, it is way, WAY behind in broadband. The usual broadband speed here is 512 kbps and most connections are on a 200-300MB maximum download...

The majority of the world uses one of three major operating systems: Windows, Macintosh OS, or Linux. The question I have for you is which of these do you use/prefer? Also, which version of the operating system are you currently...

uselesspowers it's completely free of viruses (knock on wood). it does have a little to do with stability, but the major reason is because windows is much more popular than any other OS. unfortunately, the viruses come with the popularity. Windows is probably used by nearly...

uselesspowers Where do you live? Perhaps there is an Apple store near where you live. If you can locate one, you can go in and learn the ins and outs of the Macintosh platform. Mac OS X is very user-friendly. I personally think it will be hard for any operating system to...

uselesspowers this can be avoided by marrying a woman that you don't find unattractive. it would also help to marry someone for something more than their looks. yeah, you should find your wife physically attractive, but if that's the basis for your relationship then your...

uselesspowers this might be true if cheating was just something that happened on the drop of a hat, but it doesn't. first attraction builds, then flirtation, then who knows what else leads them to believe that cheating is a viable option. or, there is a rift that grows...

uselesspowers It sounds like you've got some pretty good tastes in show and also that you have a pretty good sense of humor. I know that with Curb Your Enthusiasm you either love it or you hate it. As for Family Guy and The Simpsons, I generally watch these two shows in...

I know that many of us have to settle for one job to pay the bills, but if you could do anything you wanted and money was not an object, what would you do? I would be an author.

uselesspowers I am currently in a similar field and have done a few jobs that involve IT. I enjoy it for the most part, but I don't like interacting with customers that don't know what they are doing or don't know their way around a computer. So, I would agree this would be...

uselesspowers That is completely true. I had to laugh while I watched that game because I know several Michigan fans that were very rude to me when they found out that my team jumped theirs to play in the national championship. I just love when other people have to "eat...

uselesspowers I completely agree with you, dark humor is a lot more thought-provoking and requires more intelligence than telling knock-knock and fart jokes.

uselesspowers I agree with auburndreams, I've had times when I needed to use the copy/paste (including when my browser was not responding) and couldn't. One of the major things I've noticed I couldn't use it for was when I was responding to a topic and going too far in...

I enjoy nearly everything about myLot, but I still think that the "Best Response" tool needs a lot of work. Here's why: First, I think it's hard for everyone to decide when it is most appropriate to designate a "Best Response."...

uselesspowers Well, the frustrating thing to me is when I go into a discussion with a couple of responses that aren't that good, I genuinely try to earn the best response by giving a thoughtful and relevant answer (if I have one). I'm not saying that I always have the best...

uselesspowers I like how you said that about "feel(ing) a victory" because I too have this feeling about that happening. They've got a couple things going their way and then a few coincidences that I'll go over right now. First, it's been 10 years since the Gators last won...

Someone on television just posed the question that marriage might be a thing of the past? These days, I know that alternative lifestyles are popping up all over the place. I don't think this is a problem, but I also don't think of...

uselesspowers I think you bring up a good point about commitment. Where marriage is a strong representative of commitment, the way of the world seems to be to avoid commitment and be with as many people as possible as quickly as possible. I think this has has degradation in...
