    What song are you currently listening to ?

    Been listening to a John Legend playlist as well as the Wreck It Ralph soundtrack (it's REALLY catchy).

    Is Donald Sterling a Racist

    I think that there isn't enough data to say that he is racist for certain; at least, any more than the average American. 1. He went on a rant over the phone with racist comments involved. I've seen plenty of guys say far worse in the heat of the moment. Some were racist while some weren't...

    Gaming computer with a $2500 budget, suggestions?

    I recently finished a new gaming rig for myself (I plan to add a 2nd GPU next year) and it was around the 2.3k mark. I set the SSDs on RAID 0 to get as much out of the PC as I can. If you want to spend the extra money to hit 2.5k, you can also get a nice wireless adapter if you don't have...

    Building Computers as a Career

    As someone who works in business related IT, almost no businesses get computers built unless it's for a special reason. You're way more likely to see a bunch of Dell computers at schools, government buildings, corporate offices, etc due to the competitive costs, brand recognition, trustworthy...

    Are these wallpapers inappropriate for 16 year old?

    I'd avoid the 3rd one. The first two don't seem that bad although most moms would probably make a comment about it. Personally, I was more worry about potential awkward moments with my parents. But then again, I'm Asian.

    No Idea What I should Post This Alienware Laptop For on CL

    Guys. I've been considering selling my Alienware 17 Laptop (the new one), but can't figure out how much to sell it for since not many with the same exact specs are up for sale. (Nothing to compare it to, basically). Any thoughts on what I should post it up for? I'm posting it on Craigslist...

    Online Degree - Computer Science OR Information Technology

    "Cheap" & "Accredited Online College Programs" are not something you will see anytime in the near future, I bet. Even the decent state universities that offer online programs created online programs with jacked up prices to make a nice profit off of people. I looked at Penn State's online...

    What Car do you drive?

    I have a blazing fast and sexy.... 2002 Toyota Highlander... I'm basically going to drive it until it either dies or goes the way of Old Yeller since it's been good to me since I've owned it in 2005. I liked reviews on the Subaru/Toyota BRZ/FRS but... I can't help but feel like I'm way past the...

    What is your first car?

    2001 v6 silver Pontiac Grand Am Coupe. It looked pretty at the time. Within 2 years, the aesthetic & mechanical flaws of the car was way too clear to me.... Then again, I was very fortunate to have a first car as a teen.

    Recommendations for new car? Civic or Altima?

    If you're okay with driving an electric car, the electric Ford Focus caters to your requirements. The ride is VERY smooth, you spend less than $10 on driving each month (even cheaper if you set up your own charging in your garage), I think the government still gives you tax breaks for this car...

    Reputable A+ prep resources?

    CompTIA A+ All-In-One Exam Guide is the industry standard if you want a book. I'd just focus on knowing certain sections (printers, IP, security threats, troubleshooting, Windows version OS features, and simple command lines). There should probably be around 5-8 simulations such as running a...
