Hey Reddit, does anybody here have any experience with a non-Apple PMP? Any recommendations?
I want a portable device that will do music, video and Wi-Fi. I'm looking at products by Archos and Cowon as possibilities, but if there is anything else out there that you've tried and liked I would be very happy to know about it. Thank you, reddit...for...everything.
Reddit, what's been your longest marathon of staying awake, and why were you up so long?
Past New year's eve I was up from 5 am to 11 am on New year's day. It's not very exciting, but I'm sure you guys have something better to share.
Asking here because I don't know where else to ask. Maybe frequent travelers can help...it's about airplane tickets.
Ok, so here's the thing. I got an interview for a doctorate program in Philly. I've been looking at flights into Philly, and those flights are around $400. So when I search nearby airports for cheaper flights, there is a flight from my city to Baltimore *that changes planes in Philly* for $150. So, I'm thinking I'l...
WATMM, is anyone here a music publisher, or does anyone here know an approachable one?

How many frames per second can the human perceive? That leads to: Is our vision based on series of frames? or is it a flood of electrons who contains a chaotic murmur of senses and feelings which we then can interpret? could it be that our vision is just an acquired rationalized graphical system in a world that perhaps...

Any agnostic/atheists married to people of faith? If so, how do you decide what to teach your children?
I was raised catholic, but in recent years I have grown more and more disillusioned with religion. I have dated girls with varying degrees of faith and it hasn't really been much of a problem, but it seems like adding kids to the equation could cause major conflicts. Anyone have any experience with this?

IAE really not enjoying being a new parent?
One day you're happily going about your business doing pretty much what the hell you want with a partner you enjoy being with and then...

Dear Reddit: What are your most effective, coveted mental technologies?
Athletes can command self-discipline, and sometimes an extraordinary control over their bodies. Buddhists have meditation, and a whole slew of derivative abilities.

DAE ever think about how little they would know at this point if the internet wouldn't have existed?
Every couple of months I think to myself how little I would know in comparison to now about the world if the internet wasn't what it was today.

Fantasy Sims - Does this exist?
What I'd really like is a game like the Sims, only you're like an elf or something.

I realize you could do mods in elder scrolls games to add need meters and stu...

I have seen much about the efficiency of a dimpled or scalloped surface in a fluid as opposed to a smooth surface. See examples of golf ball dimples](#Aerodynamics) and [whale fins.

I think of myself as having a philosophical bent, but am a little too impatient or time-crunched to read some source material.

Wow. That Duncan Hunter (R-of course) is one seriously intolerant right wing jackass.
Watching this Republican bigot on tv right now and am really amazed at his regressive views on human rights. He'd be one of the people spitting on black kids as they went to school in the 50's, if his present attitude toward human rights is any indication.

DAE always put their wallet in their pocket at a specific orientation, and feel weird if it's not.
I always put my wallet in fold down (It is a single fold one), front side facing out. If I do it any other way, I have trouble siting, concentrating, anything.
What do you guys think of eating raw cereal - as in without milk?
I just tried eating some cereal with black coffee and actually liked it. The coffee at work isn't that good, so I usually can't drink it without the creamer, but I am liking raw cereal with coffee.
