hibernate

2 responses

amusements I usually use "hibernate" except at night when I am going to sleep. If I'm going to bed, I will usually turn off the computer and unplug it, because it has a light that stays on even if the computer is off. My laptop is in my room, so it bothers me if I am...

The Rock Band The Who

rjacobs @rjacobs (3) • United States 23 Feb 07

The first time I saw the Who was in 1969. Woodstock was coming up. It's amazing that they still tour.

amusements They came here a few months ago. I really wanted to see them, but the tickets were far too expensive. It would have been fun to go with my dad, since he was a fan a little after the the "original" generation of Who followers... but we just couldn't shell out...

Does lack of sleep make you very hyper?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 23 Mar 07

I've been driving my coworkers crazy the last few days, because I've been bouncing off the walls hyper. It's because I haven't been sleeping well (for a number of reasons, mostly a baby who isn't sleeping well right now). I...

amusements This usually doesn't happen to me. If I am sleepy, I am more likely to be lethargic and slow for the entire day - unless I drink coffee, which is another story entirely. However, I have a friend who becomes very hyper and bouncy when she lacks sleep. If she...

amusements I am seventeen years old and I enjoy their music... I agree that it is indeed timeless. I don't think it will ever sound old or out of date. They had harmonies that some people say rival Beethoven. My favorite song is probably "While My Guitar Gently...

for the women, do you prefer long haired guys or those with short hair?

MKpack22 @MKpack22 (307) • United States 24 Mar 07

i recently had long hair and then cut it last week. i was told by the majority i look better with short hair. i was wondering, in general, what women prefer.

7 responses

amusements I think it totally depends on the guy. Some guys can totally pull off the long-hair act and it looks very manly... I've found that often if I know guys with long hair, and they cut it, it can actually make them look more effeminate sometimes. I know that seems...

Please list the one thing that makes you the most money online

Mike07 @Mike07 (505) • United States 23 Mar 07

For me it is writing articles for Associated Content. Everything else I do online to make money, post comments, read emails, do surveys, even writing for other sites like Helium, pales in comparison. How about you? What one...

amusements I have so far earned the most money from a thing called Team Look-Look. I participate in research studies and get paid about $100-150 for each study I complete. It really is great. There aren't too many opportunities, but when I do qualify for them, the...

Digital Rights Management

shyamjoshi @shyamjoshi (222) • India 24 Mar 07

Does nebody here agrees that Using DRM technologies is good I personally hate this. I think this way they are causing problem for users. Microsoft has incorporated this technology in vista heavily

1 response

amusements I think DRM is horrible. I will not pay money for anything if I cannot completely own it. If it is through some sort of free program where I view ads to get free downloads or something, I can understand using DRM - but otherwise, I want an MP3, CD, etc, that...

Has anybody here bought the series on DVD?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 16 Mar 07

I loved this show when I was a kid. Davy was always my favorite, even when I was 6.:D I recently found the shows on DVD and bought them on eBay along with a few of the CD's. So far I've won season 2 and am up to get season 1 soon....

amusements I have never seen the show! The Monkees were around way before I was, so I didn't really have a chance to enjoy the stuff that a lot of the older fans are familiar with. I didn't even know they had a show until a while ago. I guess I'll try and find the DVDs...

They want us to pay to take our children out of school!

c2adams2 @c2adams2 (351) • United States 23 Mar 07

Paw Paw Public Schools has introduced a new initiative. They want to start charging parents 36$ a day to take their children out of school for anything not excused by the FMLA. WTF!?!? They say that it is only fair, to pay back...

amusements Actually, I know that in our school district, the schools are awarded money for each day that a child attends school - and if the kids don't show up, or don't stay for... I think it's about three hours... they don't get the money. I think it was put in place...

mckenziemom @mckenziemom (522) • United States 7 Mar 07

amusements I have taken IQ tests through school, and my average score is usually around about 140. I don't really think it's a very good measure of aptitude in anything except on-the-spot thinking, really. It doesn't examine many skills that a person might possess, but...

How Often Do You Read Your Favourite Books?

cher913 @cher913 (25781) • Canada 7 Mar 07

amusements I rarely reread books at all. I'm not sure why. I just don't care to read books more than once. Some books, like the Bible, I will open up and read snippets of over and over again, but usually I just... don't read a book more than once.

amusements Oh, goodness me. I'm not fancy or talented enough to use a fountain pen. I use a ballpoint pen, usually, but I really prefer the "gel" type of pens, or liquid graphite pencils. They're much smoother than normal ballpoint pens (the cheap ones) and I find that I...

What books/stories can you publish without getting sued???

Nireths @Nireths (149) • United States 4 Mar 07

What books, stories, publications, etc... are public and everyone is free to publish, change or use without getting sued??

1 response

amusements I'm not any sort of lawyer, but this is just the general impression I've got from what I've heard. It depends on where you live, but usually you can reprint things in the public domain. However, you can't really go around just publishing anything you like....

dhiyah @dhiyah (34) • Indonesia 28 Feb 07

amusements I don't really read Chick-Lit books at all. I'm really not very interested in them. Perhaps it's just that I'm not much of a "girly-girl" or that I'm not really in the right age group yet. I just find that there's not enough of things that I find interesting...

Tipping your wait staff

DocterDew @DocterDew (901) • United States 28 Feb 07

What do you do to determine what you tip your waiter/waitress? Do you go with a specific percent? Whatever is left in your wallet? Do you give more depending on looks? Do you pay more for people who actually check on you and never...

amusements I tip about 15%, on average. If the service is really crappy or the server is rude, or perhaps doesn't come back often and is openly chatting with the other staff and ignoring me, I'll leave 10% or lower. If the server is good, gets the order right, or goes...

hi guys, do you think that this song has any hidden meaning?as you can see, the title could be simplified as LSD which is a highly addicting drug. what are your views regarding this?

amusements I've seen the actual drawing that supposedly inspired the song, and it is indeed a picture of a girl in the sky with diamonds. That really can't be denied. I think that perhaps he thought of the main concept of the song, and then figured out, "Hey, that spells...
