December 9, 200619 yr I only have one I can remember right now. It's how people should never buy the first gen of electrical products. By the later generations, the company would have worked out the kinks of the product. Examples would be the Wii (broken strings) MacBook Pro (overheating, noise) X360 (overheating, ring of death) Zune (craptacular features, installation errors, tc.) PS3 (HD problems) etc. This thread is for rules of thumb. There will always be exceptions. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
December 9, 200619 yr Author And a 'rule of thumb' is... :-w guidepost: a rule or principle that provides guidance to appropriate behavior :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

December 9, 200619 yr my mum gave me a sandwich for lunch.. "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel AdamsMy new site. [bETA]
December 9, 200619 yr Go to CostCo and try out every piece of sample food they have. By round two ends, you should be full. ... what's a CostCo and where do I loot one? Anyway, I thought we were to stay away from the exceptions, and focus on the rules =P -This message was deviously brought to you by:

December 9, 200619 yr I find the original rule of thumb to be the most useful: Don't beat your woman with anything wider than your thumb. I don't know why that is, I guess if you beat her with something small enough the bruises won't last as long. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.

Basically, it is a warehouse -like place that sells everything from tires (I think) to fireworks to fish. Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!

I don't know why that is, I guess if you beat her with something small enough the bruises won't last as long. I dont need a thumb, never beat your woman :shame:
December 9, 200619 yr And if I remember right, the very gross 6 second rule is that if you drop food to the ground, it's still good to eat if you pick it up before six seconds have been passed. yuck. [Star Wreck][PM me][My gallery][DeviantArt][Cool T-shirts!][iron Sky - Trailer is now out!]
