Note: Wealthy people (11%) and Harvard (9%) have really small amounts of money in real estate, unlike most middle-class (and the ton of people trying to get rich on real-estate). But real-estate is that rare item that middle-class people feel comfortable leveraging 5X (e.g. 20% down-payment)... If you leveraged the stock market 5X, you'd make more than on most real estate. :-) - Mitchell Tsai

I'd rather chew aluminum foil than listen to emo. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

i'd rather shave my nutsack with a rusty cheese grater than listen to country music =P - UncleCreepy13

I love all that stuff - especially country, even opera or Brittney or pop music - we make our own techno and hard core hip hop . . . but maybe I wouldn't listen to much Nickleback. - Chris Loft

"TiVo becomes the latest Silicon Valley company to resort to laying employees off as it “manages through the challenges presented by a difficult economic climate,” as well as what it, perhaps euphemistically refers to as “a rapidly evolving retail consumer market.” Perhaps “devolving” would be the more appropriate verb choice. Or does TiVo know something about other changes in consumer habits, in addition to the evidently growing consumer fad of, well, consuming less." - Chris White

Don't they need someone to deliver pizzas? - Mona N.

Daniel: TiVo's headcount has remained pretty steady over time. There are a lot of companies more deserving of the 'you hired too quickly and now you pay the price' snark than TiVo is. This is a sad day for TiVo and many of my friends who work there. - Kevin Fox

Most of us have lived through times like this... if we're 85 years old. - Chris White

"So, now that I have been schooled in the art of the two-and-three-ball dribble by a 5-year-old, I feel like I need to work on my D, because I don't know when the next pre-school kid will come to the park, throw the rock in my face and say, "Let's do this."" - chrisofspades

We have several licenses for this and use it to do support around the globe. The greatest feature is the ability to reboot a remote machine and have it come back up in GoToAssist mode. It allows us to do support on machines in Asia and Europe on OUR time rather than taking a machine away from a user in their prime time. - Dave Ploch
