  1. If anyone is interested. Dow Jones closed at: 8,409.85
  2. He who laugh last, thinks the slowest.
  3. You know, that actually ticks me off. My biology professors would give us 9 pages of notes to print out...Never used the book, not once. >
  4. Love it. If I had do it all over again choosing between this or a Mac, I'll still pick this. The finger print security is cool, but I never use it. Mine came with a remote for the laptop, if you do a presentation in class (which you will) and the teacher lets you hook up your laptop to the projector, the remote comes in handy with powerpoints. It a very epic computer, it very slick and expensive looking and I have no complaint. Had my for a year and used it all year to type papers and do research. I carried it in my backpack and I believe my economic book weights more than the laptop. It not that heavy at all. You won't go wrong the M1530. My brother has the M13 something and it pretty good, too.
  5. x2!
  6. As my economic professor puts it "Colleges and Universities believes that the cost of education is relative inelasticity." : :
  7. When you are training to work in financial industry, you sleep better at night the sooner you accept the loss. (however, I do not know how John Meriwether sleeps at night) I cannot remember the exact price of lot of things I buy, except stocks of course. The only reason why I remember how much my carrot stick, Revos, custom made rod, etc cost is because BPS been selling the current model for same price the last 2-3 years. ;D ;D When I get my B.A. and my MBA my philosophy on life will be this: "Live rich, die penniless." Anyway, back on topic here, If my memory serve me correctly, I just had one year free Lo Jack service, and after a year it was around 100 for another year. somewhat 200-400 for 2-3 years. I cannot remember you have go to their web site and check, but Dell usually offers a package deal that makes you better off in short run.
  8. Nah, this be my third. I bought all my books first time around on campus and sold them all just above 50% of what I actually paid for at the bookstore. I try to B.S. the bookstore manager telling her there a low supply and high demand on the book, so I'll sell it to you at a higher price you can make a 10.00 profit, but she said in a very annoyed tone "NO!" Half of my books for fall is being bought through people who already took the class.(no one is selling the book I need for calculus) If the professor changes the books at last second I can still sell the book elsewhere for a profit. My friend letting me borrow his accounting book for a semester, then I give it back to him at no charge. Buying and selling books is a lot like buying and selling financial instrument. Everyone is out to make a profit. I could get all my books through individual people for total of 100.00 and then sell back to bookstore for a 200.00.
  9. I was looking ahead to see how much it cost me for my books for fall semester and I was comparing prices from my school's bookstore and Amazon. I stumbled onto sellers on Amazon selling books cheap! http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0618789820/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1241629892&sr=11-1&condition=new Scroll to bottom about books being sold by individual sellers. Can those 20.00 books be right? I mean even with 98% sellers rating they could still try rip me off for measly 20 bucks....
  10. This what I got. http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1530?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn I customized mine and end up around 1,500.00 with shipping and all. I also had Lo Jack installed, etc. Lo Jack be epic in college, so you don't got worry about theft. P.S. Get a good wireless card installed. In just about every building on my campus has a wifi and a good card comes in handy there. I got friend whose laptop couldn't pick up wifi in classroom, while mine could.
  11. Last night I watch "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" This is hand down one of saddest movie I have ever seen in my life. :-X
  12. Why would you go to Hardees and get a 6.00 burger when you can go to McDonald for a 1.00? It just business. Long as someone is buying it, someone going to be producing. Lot of companies gives you what you pay for. I really like the fusion. I got pair of Coasta Del Mars, I love them. Better than a cheap Wal-Mart crap. My friend got a pair of Oakley's, they are pretty cool. It just pure marketing and product itself. Why would you spend 200.00 on an Ipod? when you can get away with a 50.00 one? Simply because Ipod offers better features and it looks cool. I'm firm believer of capitalism, the market will speak for itself. Long as someone is buying, there always going be a producer selling and making it. And while that is happen, people like me are going be buying stocks on it.
  13. Root beer

    I won!

    I had papa clem. He came in 4th.
  14. 1. The Boondock Saints. Rest of my movies are just a toss up, I cannot put them in order. But only movie I can separate from the rest is The Boondock Saints!!!! Got one of best plots and chain of events. Of course the puns and the lines are epic.
  15. Alcohol.
  16. It the IRS what did you expect? I had a business venture idea where I give a tour of our nation's captial. As part of the tour, we stop in front of the IRS building and flip them off. But since, my business venture is a not-for-profit organization and all proceed goes towards a charity, I do not pay taxes on my business. I will avoid property tax the same way. I declared my land a church and religion matter, since I do not endorse political campaign, I pay no taxes. If I was a CEO, I would give myself a 1.00 salary with no bonus as part of my compensation. At end of the year I would have board of director to "donate" me 5 million dollar for a job well done. Since the 5 million dollar is a donation and is not part of my salary nor compensation, it is indeed tax-free. Two things are certain in life: Taxes and Death.
  17. It is a crime to fruit the beer! Punishable by extreme humiliation by your drinking partners or others witnessing said event. How so? What about orange twist in a Bud light? Orange in bud light? That's a new one to me. I do enjoy the orange with a Blue Moon though. I went up to my neighbors house month ago, we was out on deck talking, he had orange twist all around his glass and beer pour into it. Gave it a more citrus flavor. There a beer that just came into stores just recently. Called "Woodchuck" brewed in Vermont. Not bad at all.

  19. Kind of like spider bites?
  20. "You know what great about box wine? After you drink all the wine, you got something to throw up in!"
  21. The one after the Super Bowl was great! They threw the cat through ceiling HAHAHA. Then Dwight cut the face off the dummy and put it on his face.. HAHAHAHA
  22. My friend and I decided after class to take jet ski out and do some wakeskating. (wakeboard without straps on board) We get to ramp, we park next to the ramp and unstrap the jet ski, put plug in, etc. Right when I get into the truck to back my friend down the ramp, some f-150 with a MASSIVE pontoon pulls up next to me...I'm like okay you better stopped, but NO this guy pulls out in FRONT OF ME and continue to straighten out his trailer. I watch in shocked thinking this guy was going to stop and let me go and back down. I thought wrong. Whatever medication this guy is on, he back down the ramp straight down the middle which means I cannot back the ford expedition next to him and put jet ski in..... > > My blood boiling my mind is shouting "you got to be freaking kidding me!" Along with some obscene gestures. I waited 5 minute for 3 old guys to unstrap a pontoon in middle of the ramp and back it into the water.. Are you freaking serious? What is it with old guys saying us younger boys don't have any respect for the elder? This is fine example that there are disrespectful people in all ages. I'm fishermen first, then pleasure boater, but for love of god that man should've parked behind me on top of the ramp and unstrap his boat while I back down first. > >
