A Northerner's Perception of Southern Culture
spork in the road replied to tony hardware's topic in The Geek Club
I think one of the reasons for the sense of community in the south is the fact that southern families are more likely to live in the same place generation after generation. In the northeast it's very common to go to high school in one city, go to college someplace else and finally settle in a third city. I grew up in the northeast and now live in northern virginia. Northern VA is not the south, but rural parts of VA are definitely the South. -

Any nerds know how to refer to a previous citation in the APA style?

I'm in the last year of a part-time MBA program. The people who do best in my part-time program are the people who had a firm goal in mind before they started the first class. For example, a few people need an MBA to move up in their company. I'm in consulting so having a Master's will allow me to charge higher rates. An MBA is too expensive to figure it what you want to do while taking classes. Also the job placement services are typically lacking in part-time programs. Also try to figure out what you think you are going to get out of the progam (e.g. how much of a bump in salary). Then compare that to the amount of effort and money you are going to sink into getting an MBA. If I had to do it all over again I would seriously consider not doing the program. It's very expensive and time consuming and for part time programs the benefits are uncertain. As for making great contacts, that might work for Harvard but is a lot less valuable at second and thrid tier schools. There are plenty of people that are just wasting their money and I'm not so sure I'm not one of them. It's not all bad. I enjoy the classes and you definitely improve your presentation and writing skills.

Given Willie's history the officer was forced to conclude the 1.5 pounds of weed were for personal consumption.

Started watching Vanished when it came out a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't expecting much but it has been kickass so far.

From my rugby days I can add that it is extremely satisfying to hit a much smaller player especially when they aren't expecting it. I think a felony is a bit extreme but the guy should at least have to go to a tackling clinic. He needed to get lower, lead with the shoulder, wrap up and then drive the kid into dirt.

What should i do with an old monitor?
spork in the road replied to hellothere's topic in The Geek Club
Don't put in the garbage. Most computers stores will recycle it for you. I recently upgraded to a 19" LCD and got rid of my old CRT. It cost less than $10 to recycle it at Mocrocenter. -
Did you ever notice the KIND of people who judge other people?

As to the original question I hate those fockers with their ridiculous robes and making everyone call them your honor. -
Taller people are smarter than midgets.....
spork in the road replied to Strike's topic in The Geek Club
Another craptatic study that relies on correlations. Kids who get better parental care have better nutrition (so they end up taller) and probably have a richer cognitive environment (so they are smarter). Intelligence isn't necessarily directly related to height. -
Wow, I suck, 4/10. Ironically I am considered one of the better writers at the IT firm I work for (dangling preposition).

No matter what your political leanings I think we can all agree this latest crackdown by the chinese government is reprehensible. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14482354/?GT1=8404

Outrageous Chinese gov oppression

This choice of entertainment might be the type of traditional ancient Chinese wisdom we need to import back to the US. -
Things you never did at college...but you wish you did?
spork in the road replied to RicemanX's topic in The Geek Club
Probably too late for you, but I always regretted not doing the junior year abroad. -
Usually being beaten with the ugly stick causes immediate swelling. I guess there was some delay in your case.

What's the way to dump a chick?
spork in the road replied to Red White and Blue's topic in The Geek Club
Apparently it's not cool to break up with women on their b-days. If I was going to break up with you why would I remember your birthday? -
I can go one better. My stepmother-in-law demands that we all take showers in the outdoor shower so her cleaning lady won't have extra work. How about this: "I'll clean the shower myself so I don't have to live like an animal on my vacation".

Everyone would try to play strong safety because they thought it was cool to be in the SS. -
