Free Guinness Bar Towel (it's back)

Of interest, Guinness is owned by Britain's Diageo, the world's biggest drinks group. They also produce Smirnoff vodka, Johnnie Walker Scotch whiskies, Guinness stout, Baileys Original Irish Cream liqueur, J&B Scotch whisky, Captain Morgan rum and Tanqueray gin. Don't buy the marketing hype: the...

HOT HOT HOTTER than HOT - Saks 5th Avenue Sale

It's not my policy to respond to either fools or ad hominem attacks, but Finkl's post is so fraught with fallacies that it merits my response. This response is more for the sake of the forum than for the sake of my ego, for never before have I seen such fashion ignorance. Warning: to most in...

HOT HOT HOTTER than HOT - Saks 5th Avenue Sale

After reading this thread, I think the academics are correct: the internet frees man from his social contract. Free to do and act as he pleases without fear of social reprimand, the Online Man has devolved into the Lord of the Flies. If you are going to talk about people who can afford $500...

I fully agree with ovenmit: The difference between a quality garment and a sweatshop garment is readily apparent. As Departures magazine quoted a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, "It'd be easy for me to go from a BMW to a Porsche, but from Kiton to anything else. . . impossible." Please peruse...

HOT HOT HOTTER than HOT - Saks 5th Avenue Sale

I'm not sure how much emphasis should be placed on the brand. Those of you who actually looked at these products instead of impugning them for their price would notice that they are WITHOUT branding. Unlike Tommy, Polo, etc., which make of the wearer a billboard, the more expensive the product...

Ok, to fend off the critics: First: you can't put a price on quality. Much of the "inexpensive" clothing on the market (Gap, Polo etc.) is made in south-east Asian sweatshops by child labor. These clothes are completely machine made; of poor fabric; and of inferior construction. They are made...

Free Subscription to Windows Server System Magazine!

I've gotta say, this magazine has improved since it changed hands. The new editor is fresh from the Condé-Nast school of journalistic thought. That said, it's no Harper's Weekly in terms of scholary or IT prowess, but it has its moments. Those disinclined to reading IT mags, give this...

Hot: Rise Of Nations for PC $14.99 AC

Those of you who play this game for its history, for its sheer magnitude of horological spectrum, for its dynamism of civilization's spectrum, I recommend you read a book. It's called, The Decline of the West, and written by the man of my avatar's namesake. So said Henry Hazlitt of The New...

I'm sure we're all well aware of the flaws and biases inherrent in standardized testing. Well, flawed and biased this test is! How does this test quiz you at all about world politics? Most of it is history--with an even heavier concentration in the so-called "difficult" tests. All of the...
