Why would I need a large HDD on an xbox 360 outside of storing music and videos, which I would do on my TB externals anyway? I see these 4GB models rolling around but I recall them being like 20Gb when they first started rolling out.

Because installing games and downloading stuff from the marketplace takes up a lot of space very quickly

What's the point of jailbreaking an ipod touch/iphone?

You can use apps that aren't on the app store, like emulators, and you gain root file access.

Is it generally considered poor form to not have read a book that your professor has written, especially when it relates to the class you're taking? I feel like that's something they'd probably draw from a lot.

That does sound like a good option (a sort of compromise), if I can't make pure water a habit. Can't say I'm familiar with that particular drink (though the article says it's common here in Scandinavia), but I guess it's more a type than brand of drink. I'll keep a lookout, thanks :)

It really shouldn't be a problem, once you switch over to only really drinking water it just starts tasting delicious. I stopped drinking soda and juice about 2 years ago and it really hasn't bothered me like I thought it would.

I have a philosophical question: If someone is an atheist, and they don't believe in a supreme being or an afterlife, or maybe they don't identify themselves as belonging in a certain group as believing in anything, then what is the point of living or trying to live a long life? Your memories will turn to dirt. If you live to see your great grandchildren, you get pleasure from it, and your grandchildren will get pleasure from it too, but after you die they will be sad for a little while but when they die that chapter ceases to exist. There is no difference in the life of a 15 year old who dues or a 115 year old who dies because death is a guarantee. The difference is in the lives your presence changes, either good or bad.

I am not trying to be morbid or e/n or anything like that. The idea just popped in my head this morning.

Let me answer that with another question: So do you think the only reason to believe in a religion is so that you'll gain eternal life after you die? That only religious people can live whole, fulfilled lives because they're working towards something? There's no intrinsic good or need for fulfillment in people but it's only because of religion that we act that way?

If you're talking about something like Amtrak, then no, it's not a wholly public place. It's a privately owned entity. They may even have ABC-on permits for the entire train fleet.

The Amtrak stations are trickier, though. In some you can drink anywhere in the station while in others you can only drink in the restaurants that sell liquor.

I actually meant more along the lines of MTA trains

A few years ago I used a program that was used to help you remember things. It be like flash cards, and you would rate on a scale of 1-5 how well you remembered it. Using this information, it would then present the flash card to you on a later date, if you rated it a 1 you would see it soon, if you rated it a 5 you would see it in a week+. What is the name of this program?

Edit: Found. FullRecall is a propriety version, Anki is a free one.

Another android question that's only tangentially related to pooping: my tablet is a brand new nook color running 2.3, and even when I don't have any background processes running the battery runs down by about 1% an hour in standby. That doesn't sound like a lot but it's still about 7-8% a night. Is that average for tablets or is there something I can do to improve it?

Yeah, that's pretty good for android. I have had 2 android phones that only lasted about 24 hours on standby with data enabled.

True but a tablet isn't a phone. Of course since I've only had an ipod touch in the past I might not be aware of how fast android phones use up battery, but just a day seems kind of short to me too?
