Having used both, I prefer the PC. That being said, the problem I have with the commercials is that they use a Comparative advertising method. Basically, the company uses their competitor to make themselves look better. I personally try to avoid companies that support that method of...

This is actually a clever scheme designed to track the success level of certain calling campaigns. Whenever someone calls back and asks for mr. Parker, it is logged and then those numbers are analyzed. You see the same thing with Tourism commercials. You are given an 800 number and are told to...

The most disturbing thing I have had the misfortune to witness is, quite frankly, the depths to which a human being can sink in order to feed a drug addiction. I have seen a homeless guy doing a line of cocaine off of a dumpster. I have seen 14 year old prostitutes offering themselves for 10...

I have been working for a local security company doing mobile patrols and alarm response now since February of this year. As with most jobs, I started out as a regular grunt worker. But now, It would appear that I have gained the attention of several people in the upper echelons. A couple of...

IIRC the comics code was a set of guidelines that were designed and adopted *voluntarily* by various publishing companies (Marvel, DC, Etc.). Comics that did not adhere to the rules were not barred from publishing, but rather were not allowed to display the Comics Code Seal.

All this talk about satellite and the problems makes me glad I am on Digital Cable. Maybe its the localness of it but customer service is a breeze. 24 hour help, no blackouts, and I can order new channels at a whim.... plus with Video on Demand ( like PPV but 1000 times better). Now I just need...

send them an email kindly pointing out the fact that they currently have an identical auction to the one that you won. Include the URL. Then kindly inquire as to why they are selling an out of stock item. Make it clear that you are aware of their actions.... If you are still not satisfied with...

Is it just me or does that last explanation sound kinda dirty???

As with any technology... the cellhone is morally neutral. it is how it is used which is the determining factor. From my perspective, the problem lies with the person using the device. Poor phone etiquette is simply one more symptom in a long (and ever growing) line which shows the level of...

I know exactly what you mean about no power..... when Hurricane Juan hit Halifax in 2003 it caused a massive amount of damage. my house was without power for almost 2 weeks. It was wierd tho.. some places lost power for an hour or two... others were completely spared... some places were out for...

I remember a character from an old SF novel: Haviland Tuff

I actually have two faves... 1) Crest Cinnamon burst. 2) Natures Best Anise flavour. I'm not a big fan of the traditional mint flavours.

I can understand the confusion with art being what it is nowadays, however, one would think that the actual artist would have the final say with regard to it being displayed properly. What I find most disturbing about this article is the fact that even when informed of the error, the judges...

I was at work today and having forgotten my lunch at home, and running low on time, I had to go to Mcdonald's for takeout. It isn't something I do too often but I noticed that on my there I no longer think of the restaurant by it's given name. Through some twisted quirk, That particular...

Sure they wern't ravens? they do look almost identical except for size. Ravens tend to be 20 to 30 percent larger than the average crow. As for my attackers, they were just your typical crow. After the attack I figured that there was probably a nest nearby or at at the least I was threatening...

I was at work today and the wierdest thing happened to me. I was doing a patrol of a building with a courtyard and there were two crows sitting in a tree. The tree in question is located directly in the path so I had to walk under it. As I did so, the crows began doing what crows do. they...

at this point you ask " well why are you watching a movie during working hours?"
