Good evening mylot friends. I have been emails about being a secret shopper, but I don't know much about it as far as if it is worth my time or not. So has anyone ever done secret shopping? If so, do you like it and is it worth...

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?

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,...

ronnie_polestar @ronnie_polestar (38) • India 29 Jul 08

THE social networking sites like orkut, highfive, facebook etc. hav changed the lives of many.. particularly the single baings.. wat do u think..??? aren't these sites help us to meet new people and share our view...

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...

rubicstrue My nephew's PS2 also had the same problem before. He asked me to fix it, but I had no clue at all. I ended up wiping the inside of the disk slot, and using a duster to blow out the dust from inside the machine. (using bottles of spraying air) This turned out...

Ever tried Pocky?

phatelara @phatelara (243) • Malaysia 29 Jul 08

I'm not sure if you'd categorise Pocky as candy, but have you heard of it? If you have, did you try any and which flavour did you try?Pocky is a Japanese snack. It's like pretzel covered with flavoured cream and sometimes...

rubicstrue I've tried the pink ones, but not really sure what flavor they are. I think they taste pretty good, but are way overpriced. One box will set you back a buck fifty, and that's too much for a few pretzel sticks.

rubicstrue I would go to Shanghai. I've only been there once, and the atmosphere and culture of the city immediately captured me. Ever since, I've always wanted to visit there again.

rubicstrue I spend usually 5 minutes or less in an actual cell phone talking conversation, but I have had a text messaging conversation for about an hour. Since I have unlimited text in my plan but limited minutes, I usually opt for texting rather than calling.

Build or Buy?

Kat4676 @Kat4676 (474) • United States 31 Jul 08

I bought my first few computers including my laptop but, is it more feasable to build? I have built a few and you can make them how you want. It is a lot easier to get a system pre-built but, I know a few people who would rather...

rubicstrue I think that it is much better to build your own computer. Not only are you saving money, you also have way more options as to the contents of your computer. The major computer companies have already figured out the average time a computer "dies" after...

rubicstrue Expense and hardware aside, I think the best choice for you is a laptop. From your description, I'm assuming that you are a student and that you will take more classes in the future. In that case, a laptop is a great investment because you can bring it to your...
