    How important is having money to you?

    Hm... good thread. I think I'll set up that summer vacation tomorrow :)

    I Really Need Some Help On This One.

    The computer's yours... they gave you a signing bonus and you used it to buy a laptop. That's just ludicrous. You're getting laid off... just take it home with you one day. What are they going to do, fire you?

    How do you know if your house has mold?

    Talk about timely information... I just ironed out repair negotiations on a house that I want to buy and we are just about to set a closing date. One of the repairs is dryrot & mold in a bedroom. I'm glad I'm not paying for that repair... but I wonder: the mold is only visible in a small corner...

    HTF Car of the Week (12/19): 2003 Mazda RX-8

    The WRX! :) 4 doors, similar size, less hp but more torque. Won't handle as well as the Mazda though, and not as nice an interior. Also, can't you get a 3-series sedan?

    HTF Car of the Week (12/19): 2003 Mazda RX-8

    The new Neon should have 245ft-lbs of torque & 215hp at the crank. The Neon SCC got was a ringer as far as anyone knows, unless the buyers start discovering they have way underspec'd engines also. I don't like the front of the RX-8, it looks like the designers were trying to make it...

    Infiniti G35-Owners Opinions?

    Yeah, it was a 330xi without the sports package. I guess that was it then... though if I remember right the sports package wasn't available with the 330xi? I also just rode in an 02 325i and it also seemed to have more roll than the WRX, though we were just toodling around town and again it...

    Infiniti G35-Owners Opinions?

    I gotta say I'm not impressed by BMW handling... I test drove a 330xi and maybe I just didn't drive it hard enough but I thought there was too much roll in turns and it didn't really inspire confidence. The only thing I really liked about the handling was that there was virtually no dive when...

    HTF Car of the Week (12/12): 2004 Cadillac XLR

    I think it's cool, and I think it's cool that Caddy is finally producing cool cars again.

    Sub $200 Digital Camera Suggestions Please

    IMO 2mp is fine for computer viewing, and high quality (little or no compression) 2mp images are fine up to 8x10 prints, but you will notice the 3mp difference on 8x10 and above. Many times a slightly cheaper 2mp camera will have better image quality and features (flash, manual adjustments) than...

    Resume Etiquette

    Throughout college I had an "Activities and Awards" section on my resume. I think I had 5 points... as I got more awards I gradually took off activities. So it started with stuff like Golden Key NHS, Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society, the posts I had held in my fraternity, and the...

    Hmmm...SUV's calling my name!

    Get the Subaru!!! Foresters & Outbacks rule :). Or you could get a WRX wagon and zip around like nobody's business.

    Tire Experts

    There's only three reasons to run below max pressure: 1. extremely hot weather and lots of hard driving (fast, hard cornering, hard braking) may cause some tires to overheat and blow. In the winter it's not a factor. 2. Ride quality diminishes with more air, ie you will feel more bumps in the...

    PDA's/Pocket PC 2002

    The iPaq is the king of PPC devices for some reason, though I'm not sure what that reason is. I think it's got the nicest case, and I think in standard form its marginally thinner than the other PPC devices. You can also get them with built in bluetooth radios, and it has a CF slot and a mic...
