  How do I get the Stranger to stop blocking my IP? (And why are they blocking it?)

  1 0 try doing a trace route to "thestranger.com" read this about trace route if you are unfamiliar: http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/troubleshooter/traceroute.html that should tell you where the connection is failing. You could also try switching to public DNS servers instead of comcast. Google provides some that work great (they are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). If googles DNS server was fucking up, then that could easily present itself in the form of a nonexistent website. You have a router (hence the wireless), you could also try connecting your computer directly to the modem and bypassing that router.

  0 0 Have you ever actually seen a retail position in an area where there are walmarts that pay that? Also, please reference independent studies that don't have their agenda in mind when forming their results. Also you said walmart is the only store hiring. Joel commented about 1 year ago

  If Walmart was the only place that would hire you and had a job that worked with your requirements, would you work for them?

  4 0 of course, I'm not stupid. Please see: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=Wal-Mart_Stores,_Inc/Hourly_Rate Walmart average wages are well above the national federal minimum wage. Not defending other practices of course... you gotta do what you gotta do though. Joel answered in Job Hunting about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  Were you bothered by the extreme sexism in the movie "Social Network?"

  0 2 No, because it's a movie. I only get worked over things that actually exist... after a quick google search re: social network sexism, i have a followup question: Isn't there anything important or at least of some intellectual value that these people could be doing instead of wasting their time harping about the characters in a movie they didn't have to see in the first place? just saying.

  Can anyone recommend some good quality earbuds?

  0 0 I have both of these earphones and I can highly recommend both. They are both from Ultimate Ears http://ultimateears.com/en-us/products/triplefi-10 Those are pricey, like 400$ pricey, but awesome awesome awesome phones. Those are the ones to get if you are an audiophile. If you listen to FLAC and can tell the difference between 160 kbps and 320kbps or just want the most awesome sound reproduction out there. Get those. http://ultimateears.com/en-us/products/700 Those are only like 150-200, and pretty much slay any other headphones in the pricepoint as far as earbuds go. Either of those would make you happy. The triplefi are my favorites. they fit me better. Joel answered in Whatever about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
