So this sunday my girlfriend and I will be going to our first "non-seated" concert (Lupe Fiasco in NYC). The tickets say it starts at 8PM. When's a good time to show up if we want to have a fairly good spot? Is 30-60 mins before a good time frame, or should we get there earlier?

does the concert start at 8pm or do the doors open at 8pm?
depending on the size of the venue, i'd show up at least 30 minutes before doors open, if you want a good spot and dont want to rudely shove your way through

Anyone have any suggestions for higher paying 1st jobs? I've been thinking of trying to get hired at a nice restaurant and trying to work my way to being a waiter. Get salary and get bangin' tips. Any suggestions?

this is what i did when i was 16. got a job bussing and made a dollar more than student minimum wage, through restaurant-regulated tips. transferred to a better place and made an extra 30-60$/night when i was 17... became a waiter at 18 and was making 100$+a night (all on top of minimum wage, ontario)

its hands down the best way to earn money for a highschool student transitioning into university student, excepting starting your own business. mowing lawns is pretty easy to earn 20$/hour after expenses, provided you have a lawnmower, trimmer, and transportation. i did that one summer and made off pretty well, the one-time jobs (weeding, cleanups, bush/tree removal) can get you good money too. i was never too professional about it and so only made about 35/hour on the high end for those types of jobs, but definitely worth while.

Do advertising companies have access to my credit card information?
The reason I ask is because I watch hulu a lot and I've never had a sneaker commercial pop up... until today. I found it strange because just two days ago I bought the some sneakers at the mall using my amex card. Kind of creepy to think those ads get customized to my buying habits :/

Did you do any research online before buying? Go to nike.com or anything?

The introduction of hexadecimal characters also allows you to incorporate alpha characters A-F into your IP address, along with numbers, which allow for more human readable strings. I could also have an IP address such as 2001:470:1f01::beef:cafe that allowed me to show off my carnivorous side.

So does this mean we can choose our own vanity ipv6 addresses?

Yes — to a degree. They're still in your local area network, so they won't get exposed. As for IPs on the internet, they're being assigned to you unless you reserve 'em. Which is crazy expensive and usually only possible for whole IP ranges! You can get a hosting service with a static IP, of course, like your local ISP could give you a static IP which they reserved at some point anyway, but those usually aren't vanity addresses.
 
What's the name of the super high quality, very reliable, and very free Windows anti-virus program? I'm getting tired of McAfee begging me to renew.
 
when jesus rose from the dead on Easter, what exactly happened after? He ascended to heaven?

my friend just made a comment in an email where he rose, then was around for 40 days, then ascended to heaven.

I thought the 40 day thing was Lent and that came BEFORE Easter.

Is my friend confused, or am I just mixing up Catholicism with all of Chrisitianity?

edit: nevermind, he stayed around for 40 days then ascended.
 
I have an exercise DVD I want to put on my phone so I can take it to the gym. Is there any burn software that gets past the pesky copyprotection?

Well... just looking for the name of one, don't want anyone bannorized ;)

1. What is a good chemical drawing program? Preferably one that draws them with a decent enough resolution for powerpoint presentations.

2. Do you think that flamingos can fly? I've been debating this with someone for 10 minutes and I wanted to know what other people think BEFORE they go on wikipedia to look up the answer.
 
Is adding someone I only know as a customer from work to facebook weird?

I dunno, he's kind of cute and we chat a lot when he comes into my job, so I kind of want to get to know him better.

I hope you're on the affirmative side of that one. Of course they can fly. I would kind of like to hear the talking points of this debate. If you're not using any outside sources, it seems like it wouldn't get much further than, "Flamingos can fly," and "No, they can't."

Weird. I often chat with a particular young lady in her place of business. Your birthday wasn't last Sunday, was it?

The counter argument is that they have relatively small looking wings (when folded in) and their legs are very long. If an ostrich can't fly, then why should a flamingo?

You could always send him a message on Facebook asking to be friends. Plus, that doubles as a conversation starter!

Also, I loved that episode of friends in your avatar.

Nope! Haha. Aw. That might have been cool. ~Souls connecting through GAF~. Haha.

That's true! Maybe I'll do that. I just have to not be so shy, haha.

All the Cheesecakes is an amazing episode. Haha.

Dang. Well, in that case, on behalf of all the socially incompetent young men who wish women would make the first move sometimes, I fully support you reaching out.

Flamingos are much smaller than ostriches and their wings are not small at all.

Excellent. Will think on it. I'm so shy and more than likely the more socially incompetent of the two. Oh lawd.

Yeah, eventually I brought up that even though they seem to have small wings for their size (ie: they look like a miniature ostrich) that you have to consider the ratio of surface area to volume. The bigger the radius of a sphere, the smaller the ratio of the surface area to volume becomes. I'm guessing that's why their wings create enough lift to make them fly.

I love how Joey just gets a fork out of nowhere right at the end, haha.

My favourite conversation is "Okay, but we have to move quickly!"

"Why?"
"Because I think I hear her moving around in her apartment!"
"GO GO GO GO"

It is plotting your demise.
 
Facebook: I've created a group. Now I want to invite my friends to join. But why in all that is annoying do I have to search for each friend that I want to invite individually? Why can't I have my nice little friendslist where I can click and selected all that I want in this group? Why can't I at least invite a whole sublist of friends?

You can. Below the search box is a list of all your friends. Instead of searching, just start clicking on some of them and they will get little check marks over them. There is a littel drop-down menu in the top left of this area that allows you to filter certain groups of friends (either by your own personal groups if you have them set up, or by network). Once you have multiple people selected, you can hit the 'send invite' button.

I always thought of flamingos as having pretty large wings... sure they're neck and beak are large but, overall their wingspan is pretty big to.

Edit: They're not nearly as big as Ostriches either

Yeah, their bodies are actually pretty small compared to the wing size.

I wish I could. It looks like this. Maybe I'm just blind, but I guess when facebook redid the whole groups thing at the end of 2010 they must have changed that to this complete nonsense they have now.
 
When sick with a viral infection like the flu, does drinking out of the same water bottle all day increase the time it takes to beat it? What about a bacteria based infection?

And what's the go with swollowing sputum? Will that increase the time to get well?

Nah, as long as you're wallowing in the same infectious agent the whole time, you're not likely affect your recovery time. You may wish to keep track of all the bed linens and dishes and doorknobs you use and make sure they get a thorough washing once you're well in order to prevent spreading the infection to your future houseguests, though.
