    Too often.

    Should I get the Samsung Instinct or what?

    I just looked up the Instinct and it doesn't have WiFi. Why would somebody make a touchscreen phone without WiFi, why why why. RIM did that with their Blackberry Storm, they just lost themselves another customer. Have a look at the HTC Touch HD, I believe this is a good option too.

    What is the point of plain cold weather when there is no snow?

    To freeze your ass off and have no compensation. And the wi-fi thing doesn't bother me much. An unlimited data plan is required in the first place, so it's not like you're saving money. It'd come in handy at times and would be a nice feature, but it's not like you're relegated to EDGE, as on the iPhone. I'm probably going to wait out December/early January on my current RAZR V3m though--and upgrade before I fly back to Florida.

    What's the point of having dorms without kitchens in a predominantly culinary school?

    When I have to rely on other people that I know won't get the job done.

    How much is a fine for riding the train and not having a train ticket where you live?

    Oh, the honor system. I remember that from the few days I was in Paris many years ago. So, they still do that in Euroland? Cool.

    Here, they just throw you off the train. If you're polite, they'll wait until the next stop. Otherwise you damn well better buy a ticket PUNK!!!

    Rosy O'Donnell or Richard Gere? - you've got to do one of them - both want to do you.

    OK, that doesn't count. This is a family show.

    Assuming that your boss matches your sexual preference but is a single bagger (in other words, better than a double bagger and much better than a 'chew your arm off'), would you rather sleep with them once to get promoted or work 10 hours overtime a week for a year.

    From my past experience, yes, yes they do. Although it depends on the girl, and to what level your geekyness is at.

    Will Lynnfield, when it's released Q1 '09, replace the venerable Q6600 as best bang for buck crucher?

    A: You should buy a pair 1TB HDD and ship it to me. I will buy a second GTX280 when they get cheaper for you.

    Q: I skipped Super Mod for Admin, do you think Charles made a huge mistake?

    Yes. I like being optimistic.

    Reminds me of the following quote that I saw on the forum somewhere: "The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty: it’s twice as big as it needs to be."

    How do I motivate myself to have a look what the green stuff in my reservoir is?

    If you find a new species, they'll name it after you. But then do you want to be known for having a type of slime mold named after you?

    You could dry it out and smoke it - you might get lucky.

    Hey, I'm tryin' here.

    Is it possible for a case to be haunted/possessed/cursed?

    Country isn't music.

    Walk or ride (push bike)?

    HIV/AIDS, which is already a much bigger killer than cancer will ever be.

    So I'm getting a Gastroscopy tomorrow at 2:15 PM. I'm allowed to eat until 6:30 AM that morning. Should I have a really late big dinner (eg 11-12 PM) tonight and sleep in until like 11 AM, or should I get up at 6 AM and have a light breakfast, and then not be able to eat for 8 hours?

    Eller

    Have an early large dinner and a light brekkie in the morning (6am) either way you'll be starving by 2:15pm.

    How much have you budgeted for 2009 to put towards dedicated WCG crunchers if any?
