That would be equivalent to Apple creating their computer hardware and allowing anyone else to install Windows, Linux, or any other operating system they desire. It's not going to happen. I have a bunch of Apple products, but other than the iPod Classic, I'm pretty much done with Apple. I gave my iPad to my kids…

That's not military, it's Army. I was taught to fold a shirt differently in the Navy, and in a way I like a little better.

I'm a parent who rarely gets angry, so temper tantrums aren't really an issue with me.

I take a nap after lunch on most days, but then again, I'm a firefighter. I'm not paid for what I'm doing each moment, but for what I COULD be doing at any moment. We call them safety naps, mostly because there are many nights we are up most of the night on calls.

I was one of the more rare jock/nerd combination of kids. My size and athletic ability prevented people from messing with me maliciously, but I also had calm, quiet, demeanor and was also usually very affable, in nature. My boys seem to be very popular, so far, so I'm hoping they learn the lessons I learned early on.

I was a rare kid who never had issues with peer pressure. I know that sounds odd, but I've always done things my way, even if it cost me a friend or two. In the end, I would rather have one really good close friend than an entire host of people who say they are my friend, but really are not. I'm doing my best to…

Yeah, I've never believed that scripture was meant to be a science primer in any way. There are things you can take literally, and other things are meant as a parable, or to be read allegorically.

Yes, they are out there. Especially the "7,000 year old Earth" nuts. When it comes to cosmology, I say, follow the science to wherever it leads. So far, I personally don't see any contradictions to my personal faith where it comes to cosmology or scientific method. Cheers...

I'm a "religious nut" and I love this. Unfortunately, there's a predominant non-believer bias that Christians are narrow minded and ignorant, especially in the area of science. That, my friend, is painting with a rather large brush. There's absolutely nothing he says which is heretical in any way. All heavier…

I had someone ask me once after my wife and I adopted a 2 1/2 and 4 year old brothers, what happened that you never expected to happen. My reply to that was that I can now no longer keep my house clean. They are now 9 and 11 and it hasn't changed back. My house is still always cluttered with toys and things like…

I voted for the Pioneer Elite Series. I gave $1,000 for it just 5 years ago, and it was the middle of their top 3 receivers. My only complaint now is I wish I had more HDMI ports to use. Other than that, it blows my mind how good this thing really is, and how easy it is to set up and operate. I have 3 other…

I pretty much only use a black background. My Note II screen makes all the other colors really pop that way. There's also Swipepad on the Play Store. Swipepad gives you a spot on your screen to swipe, bringing up 12 extra spaces to launch up to 12 apps. Basically, it's a hidden launcher, and it works great. Check…

Vote: Pioneer Elite Series

I'm so bad that I hang my clothes with a hanger of the closest matching color. I'm always on the hunt for hangers of odd or various colors to match my clothes. It drives my wife crazy.

I'm making the assumption that you received this check via the United States Postal Service. The last time I remember a discussion about receiving something in the mail you didn't order or ask for, the answer was that it was legally yours to keep. I'm not sure how that stands in regard to receiving something from…

I work 24 hour shifts by working one day and then having two days off. I also get an extra 24 hour shift off during the month. This means that when an entire month is taken into consideration, I average 50 hours a week.

I carry several knives, multitools, flashlights, batteries, and extra clothes. I also carry a wad of dryer lint in a zip lock bag along with safely stored matches. I've also carried around a small fishing pole for years, although I'm not sure why. I never get it to go fish. I also carry a moderate amount of rope…

Basically, I trust anything Koush does. If you have a problem with something, talk to him. There's a good chance of a satisfactory resolution. Thanks Koush!!!

That's my biggest gripe about Bear. Much of what he does is simply for television and sensationalism. I've been through mountain and cold weather survival training in the military as a combat medic. Most of what Bear would do, I would not. In fact, you could almost say that if Bear does it, you shouldn't in the…

Also, lawsuits in our litigious American society are far too commonplace. I've been sued before for wrongful death, even when my patient was considered a clinical save, but later expired. As long as you do everything by the book and document, there's usually little to be feared in these situations. Mostly, I enjoy…
