Well luckily we had nixon and ping pong :)

I've got alot of love for Return of the Living Dead. If you read the IMDB for it, it actually gets good ratings, despite being campy.

First Movie with Running Zombies? Check

Tarman? Check

Running around naked in a cemetary? Check

BBBRRRRAAAAAAIIIINNNNSSSSS and zombies that eat them? Check

A movie where every line is a memorable quote? Check

Character names like Trash, Scuz and Suicide? Check

Go BUY it from FYE, Amazon, or KMart now. It's more funny than it is scary, but that doesn't detract from it still being a good movie. Alot of zombie movie lovers keep a place in their heart for this movie, even though it isn't a true George Romero movie.

Indeed. The standard battery for my Dell D520 costs $135 from Dell, yet the WONDERFUL knockoff I got from www.laptopbatterystore.com works better than the original and cost $45 (pricegrabber gives the store a pretty good rating too if you google it).

I've stopped buying the official replacement batteries a long time ago.

Dell specifically tells you with their basic on-site warranty that they'll come and fix it after you've talked on the phone with someone and troubleshooted it. If you didn't wanna get on your hands and knees with them, then it would've cost an extra $50 for real on-site service.

I just got an Optiplex 360 with the 3-year basic on-site warranty, and I already utilized it for a bad stick of ram. They had me reseat the ram and troubleshoot a few other things, but the process (from dialing, waiting on hold, and finishing the call) took 25 minutes. I called early enough that we had someone come the same day too.

I'll start off by echoing everyone else: $8/hr is very low for an IT intern at such a place. I'm currently in an internship at a non-profit and getting $10.

Anyways, what you should be doing is whatever they ask you to, and quickly. But in your spare time, finding ways to save the company money is always very helpful. Be sure to talk to people all the time. Talk with your main bosses once a month atleast, even if its just BSing....

I'm more confused why he's trying to convince me to play a game that he rated a 6/10...

ANYTHING that I recommend to others, be it games or anime, usually is an 8/10 or higher. 6/10 is for the bargain bin games that weren't entertaining at all and only for the niche crowds that love X-style game.

I get what you're saying. Pittsburgh typically has huge businss parks in the suburbs around the city already, so alot of businesses (small and medium) love to go there. Our bigger corporations tend to go even further out of the city and buy a huge lot of land, like Bayer (omfg their campus is gigantic), Dick's Sporting Goods, or FedEx. The spaces and roads are already there most of the time for these businesses due to malls or something else nearby; no worries....we leave alot of green untouched :) IIRC, PA has a tree requirement for corporations that develop large plots.

Wow....Slashdot's staying extra-classy lately.

I pay for my own tuition. My parents are dead, but please...if it makes you feel better, think that I'm an alcohol-chugging art major and my parents pay for everything. Keep armchair trolling please!

Actually, Pittsburgh works a bit backwards compared to other cities. The Arts community allows ANY students in a huge discount on most arts events, if the tickets are purchased the day of the event. I distinctly remembering attending CCAC at one point and getting into a Fab Faux concert for 10$ because I'm a student of a college. I flashed my CCAC ID, a friend flashed her Pitt one, another friend flashed her Westminster one, and my girlfriend flashed her Slippery Rock one. THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK....YOU'RE A STUDENT AND YOU GET A DISCOUNT.

Thanks for picking apart my grammar and a few mistakes I made. It makes you look like even more of a douche for commenting and not really understanding how OUR city works.

By the way, if you “could care less” it means that you care at least a small amount, according to classical definitions (which is technically true anyways. People keep bringing this up, yet you don't see protestors like at UCLA; We feel like we're supposed to care about it, but nobody honestly gives a shit). And if you would have at least googled it, you would have realized that Americans tend to use the two phrases interchangeably so much that the Oxford dictionary has recognized the phrases to possibly mean the same thing.

Yea....actually they charge the university a rediculously low bus rate for college students IIRC.

Regardless, at Pitt it would only be a 70$ increase a semester, where our computer lab/technology fee is around 300$ :P

The free or cheap events are mainly to fill empty seats in shows or events, so there's no charge. They'd rather us get in for free and spend 6$ on food than not come in at all.

I can't mod up enough....thanks for telling it like it is.

- Pitt Student

I've been to other cities, and frankly I don't see the need for them to exist bla bla bla....

Our city is primarily students. We have loads of jobs and cheap housing. We're thriving. We haven't had a brain drain lately.

You make it sound like the city is dying, when in fact we're just maintaining our current lifestyle. We have no desire to become HUGE and full of corporations. We love our number of non-profits and students.

And realistically, a 1% tax on Pitt students is 70$ a semester. None of us give a fuck that go there. Or CCAC, which pays 1500$ a semester. 15$!!! They don't care either.

If we're helping our city, we're happy.

The Pittsburgh one isn't $400, it's 1%, which can equal 140$ a year for those that go to Pitt.

It's the same.

Oh come on....surely you can afford $400 more a year to aid the city you live and work in?

If it really is 1% off of tuition, then I'll be paying 70$ more at Pitt. Suck it up for the city's health for a change.

Pitt students would be getting their tuition upped 70$ a semester, which isn't the same thing as 32%.

Quit overreacting. We're fine here in Pittsburgh.
