Curriculum vitae question here.

I'm starting university in September (as a mature student) studying Computing with Information Technology. I'm applying for a part time job in a specialists electronics store. I sort of want the fact that I'm going on to study in a field relevant to the job to be in their faces, as they mention having an interest in the products etc as qaulity they're after.

Since I haven't started at the university yet, should I list the University in my education section with my start date, or just mention in in the additional information section?

Thank you so much. This has been bothering me for over a year.

Okay, so iGoogle used to be my homepage and it's going away. They say there's several potential browser addons that could be used as a replacement but to me that's unacceptable, as I use a variety of different browsers on different PCs and don't want to keep the settings sync'ed between them.

I planned to stick it out until it was officially discontinued but they seem to have removed the link from the Classic Google page so I can no longer get to my dashboard unless I manually type /ig after the URL, which is annoying.

What's a good replacement site to use as my homepage with a similar set of features?

I live in the USA and the only place I can find Melona (the melon ice cream bar) is at an Asian market 30 minutes away from my house.

Do other major grocery stores carry Melona? Heard some rumors they did but not sure.

Facial Hair Grooming-GAF; Been using middle of the road bic disposable razors for a while but not getting as close a shave as I'd like. Any reccomendations for particularly good/affordable brands of razors (disposable or otherwise)?

Was also contemplating switching to electric, but not really sure where to begin in terms of research.

[archnemesis]

I'd go for either Gillette Mach3/Fusion or maybe something from Wilkinson Sword. It's better to spend a bit more than to end up with a scrappy shave or skin irritation.

Does anyone know of a definitive book on insects?

[Tribes of Trusty]

Hey people, I wanted to ask those who have a Paypal account : are you satisfied with it ? Have you ever had problems with it ? Would you recommend me to get one or stick with my visa CC to pay ? Thanks.

I really like the Gilette Fusion razors. Yes, they look kind of ridiculous, it has a lot of blades, and a set of blades is quite expensive (though you can use it for a long time if you're like me, ie shave like once a week), but they are a real pleasure to use, and I've never cut my delicate skin with that. Anyway you won't have a close shave with an electric razor, that's for sure. There is a neogaf thread about shaving, that may be a good place to start.

Hard to find sources, but wikipedia suggests it actually comes from the word "pusillanimous," which basically means weak or cowardly.

Huh.

I'm satisfied with PayPal, it's nice alternative payment method to have around for the times I'd rather pay from my bank account than with a CC. My only minor issue is that adding/withdrawing funds to or from a bank account takes up to 5 business days in Canada to process (although I think the wait is much shorter in the US). Haven't had any problems yet, but then again I'm new to it as well and have only made a handful of purchases/transfers.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be taking a look through the thread for sure.

I actually think this this a great question that does warrant a thread, but I can't make those so.
How would one go about keeping the novelty in the things they love? Like for example a song. First time you hear it you're amazed if you're really into it. But a lot of the time even if you really like it, only occasionally can you feel the magic, lol.

I watch singing auditions; not only they have a unique voice singing those classics, but they often change it a little and it's perfect.

i.e., This timeless classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VURNU...ure=plpp_video

I also watch Glee for that sole reason.

Does anyone know of a definitive book on insects?

There are too many insects around to write a book on them all. Also, the field of insects is separated into a multitude of topics because it would otherwise be impossible to get a book done, or even carry the resulting book around.

What I do when I want to know about an insect is I pull out a reference like this (German, obviously):


Then, if I want to delve deeper into it, or if the book doesn't contain a section about the specific insect, I go to the library and dig through everything they have. Uni libraries are best. Biology section, shovel out, good-bye afternoon.

An author I want to recommend if you enjoy reading about insects in general is this dead dude: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Henri_Fabre
That guy is the shit.

Does anybody know where or if it's possible to rent the Batmobile? I need it for a day.

I found a company called characters for hire that supposedly does it out of New Jersey but they haven't gotten back to me, despite multiple contact attempts (maybe because I'm in Ohio?).

Specifically the '89 Batmobile.

I've seen several TV shows lately that have the lead actor credited as a producer. Someone explain to me what that means. What does a producer on a TV show do exactly that makes the lead actor a good chocie for the job?

I think threads dedicated specifically to talk about a game (usually already released games) or a specific IP/franchise automatically get sent to community after 30 days. Not 100% sure though.

Was the Prong song "Rude Awakening" part of the soundtrack of some movie or documentary in the late nineties or early 00s? Listening to it I get crazy deja vu sensations. It's far from their most popular song either according to Spotify, so I don't think I would have heard it regularily on the radio growing up or anything.

Something that's been happening recently on my home computer...When I'm browsing the internet, there super short (but noticeable) moments of "hiccup" going on. Like a super short delay between actions - clicking links, tab switching, scrolling, etc. Any idea what causes that?

[RiverBed]

That's just labor; you need to manually search. Go to Rottentomatoes, iMDB, random youtube trailer search, etc. Then find a cool source to watch it it for example, Netflix is a must for ANYONE with a TV. Netflix even says 30% of all users are not only streamers, but doing so via PS3.
I have Amazon Prime. With that I get part of their video service for free. Youtube has FINALLY opened a movie/TV streaming channel. You can Tivo/DVR to not miss a thing. You'd be surprised what's playing when. I once say an Alien/Aliens marathon on an obscure channel at 7 in a weeday morning! lol. Luckily, at the time, I had a DVR so I was smiling while having my coffee and reading the paper knowing that after work that day, I'll kickback to an alien marathon!

I found that some of the best movies I liked had an average score of mid 80s on popular sites. Some of the shows almost getting full scores were mostly better than average, but you still needed to appreciate the angle and stuff. I don't personally care; if I like a show, I like it. Some shows only have a season and a half (couldn't even finish their second season) but it would be some of the best TV I've seen. and sometime, I am surprised that a show is on it's 9th season and I really haven't been interested more than watching only one- maybe two- episodes of it.
Hmmm....It's a matter of taste, I suppose.

[StuBurns]

Why do some shows/films state who a specific person plays?

For example, at the start of Seinfeld, you'll get three of their names on with no character name, then 'Jason Alexander as George', and lots of shows do that.

[JAY the BIRD]

Right to the point.

Need a wireless adapter for my gaming pc. When I built it I had access to direct plug in to the internet. Not anymore.

Because of this, I know NOTHING about wireless adapters. What should I get?

Usually some part of a contract thing where the actor can't get top billing but negotiate to be specially called out in some other special manner in the credits.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billing_(filmmaking)

An actor may receive "last billing", which usually designates a smaller role played by a famous name.[citation needed] They are usually credited after the rest of the lead cast, prefixed with "and" (or also "with" if there is more than one, as Samuel L. Jackson was in the latter two Star Wars prequels). In some cases, the name is followed by "as" and then the name of the character. This is not the case if that character is unseen for most of the movie (see Ernst Stavro Blofeld).

So if a game is a beta it gets to stay on the front page of gaming for however many months it takes to release the game? Even if that time period is a year+?

What about DayZ? Are mods immune to being moved?

How about playstation allstars, that's essentially the same thread as the smash thread except it's more about speculation, that gets to stay on the front page until the game is released?

Prob user error.

[LeroyPantwether]

Well something about imap not responding, it is only happening to select accounts. And instead of being transparent about the issue, google just leaves users to troubleshoot on their own for a problem that literally can't be fixed by said consumer.

Their only response has been that a fix is "rolling out" over the next week. Some vague bs. Their tech support in google groups just keeps regurgitating the same " In the meantime you can use the gmail app to retrieve your emails, and we appreciate your patience.". Even though the gmail app is essentially garbage.

Prob user error.

Probably not,
