rubicstrue I've never actually done one, but the whole idea seems dubious. If the only intention is to evaluate the staff, can't the company workers just to it themselves?

What do you watch on Youtube?

I usually watch comedy, such as stand up. If I get bored, watching clips of the Late Show will always cure my boredom; it never stops being funny.

rubicstrue @rubicstrue (38) • United States 2 Aug 08

I usually keep my receipts in an old shoebox, in case I need them in the future. I'm really afraid to throw them away, because the stores are cynical about them. What do you do with your receipts? Where do you put them if you keep...

How do you deal with spills and stains?

rubicstrue @rubicstrue (38) • United States 2 Aug 08

I often spill wine, sauce, and all sorts of things on my carpet. What techniques do you use to clean your messes up? I use just plain old water and cloth, but if the need arises, I will go for Oxyclean.

rubicstrue I would say the best bet is to reinstall your os, and to be safe the next time. Upon the new install, you should install Zonealarm free, Comodo firewall, AVG free, and Avast home edition. That way it will decrease the chance of malware getting in your system,...

rubicstrue I think they are a great way to meet new people and talk to someone new, but are not a good substitute for dating in real life. While there are numerous "success" stories about online relationships, I have never met anyone in person who was in love with...

rubicstrue Maybe look into your neighborhood to see if it has a noise control ordinance in effect. Often, there are "official" places where you can complain, and hopefully get the issue resolved. Also, a nice recording via handycam will go a long way to persuade others...

What graphics card should I get?

rubicstrue @rubicstrue (38) • United States 31 Jul 08

I am building a desktop, and need suggestions for a graphics card. I have a budget of $130, so brand spanking new cards will not work. Also, I don't want "liquid-cooling" cards, as they seem too much of a hassle. I am a casual...

rubicstrue Thanks fwidman. But, there are loads of cards that won't fit into my budget. Most of the higher end graphics cards are $200+, and even the specials on Newegg won't help me.
