Nope, stayed well away from that. But I've done tech support for hospitals. The doctors were brilliant people who couldn't figure out how to send an email. But they had great bedside manner!

Yeah, med school is one of those places where they WILL reject you for being too much of a smarty pants. They accept based on attitude. They want someone who will have a good patient relationship and not come across as aloof and superior. They want someone who is NOT completely sure of themselves... who will harbor doubts and triple check everything as a result.

That's when you go and scored 1400+ on the SAT just to prove that a few Cs aren't your total sum worth as a student.

The string of successful Internet apps started by college dropouts says otherwise.

That's what I'm suspecting. I'm on a year old power rig using Windows 8.1, and I haven't noticed any slowdown at all yet. Usually about a year out is when I start debating whether I should reinstall Windows. Haven't felt the need yet at all.

I RTFA. They didn't go into specifics, but it seems to have been cheap WiFi point communications coupled with thermal sensors. So if a machine was running hotter than expected, they could stop that line and fix the problem before it broke completely and took that line down for a few days. So the "savings" could be what the cost of that line going down previously had been. Or something.

I have my most common applications pinned to task bar. I ended up pinning more after Win8 became a thing.

Haven't tried ArchAge myself. Heard mixed things about it from my friends who have. I may look into it, but I don't think it's going to scratch my particular itches.

As for sub fees, the MMO demographic is aging, and for myself and my friends, $12 a month to not have to deal with broke teenagers and buy to win whales is great.

No, I only cut off any chunks of stem. I may occasionally remove the outer leaves if they are ratty looking. But I roast mine whole.

The salt actually modulates the bitterness if you use enough. If roasted for a longer time, the outside becomes very dry (like a kale chip) and disintegrates quickly.

My mother's method of preparation involved boiling them for thirty minutes, and the resulting stench and bitter taste turned me off them for two decades.

One hour for me. I want the outside to be crunchy.

I had to define myself some rules for figurines because I kept buying lower quality ones that ended up warping, or I ended up no longer liking the series. The rules are now:

1. Must be higher quality, non-posable, on a solid large base
2. Must be purchased in a pair, as in a matched set of two from the same series (e.g. Batman + Robin)
3. Must be characters I do not already own (no repeats.)

These rules have prevented me from letting the collection grow exponentially, and given a lot of variety to my toy display case. It's also probably saved me a lot of money in the long run, as I no longer snatch up every figurine I think is kind of neat.

Lightly coat in olive oil. Lightly toss in sea salt (or Jane's Mixed Up Salt, if you're in the south.) Roast at 350F for one hour. They come out salty and crispy on the outside, and tender and sweet on the inside. Consume that day as they don't keep very well. But they're so delicious it shouldn't be a problem!

Well, TESO is already turning into a ghost town so that clearly wasn't what the market wanted, but I have friends still enjoying Wildstar, and I myself am still finding stuff to do in XIV ARR. (Two million subscribers is a lot to say have poor taste.) Destiny is too new to know how much staying power it'll have just yet.

That's actually a good suggestion. Also if the PhD required a lot of quantitative analysis, that is something to emphasize. Financial companies LOVE quants with PhDs since they're the guys who dream up crazy things like derivatives and default swaps.
