There are some decent links in the comments you've gotten, so I hope that helps you out, but this way too crazily broad and subjective a question they way you've asked it. -- cortex

Post 82021 by PoopyDoop deleted for the following reason: This is pretty stream-of-consciousness and chatfiltery.

Post 81478 by ashbury deleted for the following reason: You may not have intended this as a joke, but point blank like this without any context, explanation of what factors you're concerned with or why, or any indication really that you're anything but bored and sitting in front of askme kinda makes this seem like a bad idea. -- cortex
