They do have museums. The State museum down off Red Square is quite impressive. I haven't been to the Smithsonian yet, so at this point, the Russian State Museum is probably my favorite museum of all time. I'm a history nut, and that museum is full of extraordinary pieces of Russian history. It's just not full of…

Way over complicated and over thought. I can't imagine it being too much different from sex while floating in water. It might not be easy, and a gravity assist certainly helps, but it's not impossible by any means. I've always thought that suit was lame.

I watched several of these fly around and do touch and go maneuvers yesterday. My kids really got a kick out of watching these planes fly circles around us.

I grew up on a farm and this was a family event for us. We would milk the cow, let the cream rise to the top, skim it, put it in a large jar, then sit through an evening of primetime television while turning the jar. When you got tired, it was a simple matter to pass the jar to the next person. Before long, we had…

Have you tried the glass butter keepers? My father sold me on these years ago, and they work great. You simply fill the butter on the inside of the lid, then fill the water until it goes up just past the bottom of the butter. It keeps the butter perfectly well.

Where I grew up, if you didn't have a rifle by the time you were 5, you were a late bloomer.

Wow, I just told my 11 year old son this very thing, yesterday. He wanted to take his Nintendo DS with him on a short drive in our little town. I told him no. He then complained he was going to be bored. I told him it was a good thing to allow yourself to be bored. That's when you come up with new ideas and solve…

I used the spray bottle method, but I use water and a small bit of fabric softener. Basically, you have to play with the mixture to get the ratio you want. From there, I smooth out the largest wrinkles with my hand, then hang it to dry. 76% of the time, it works every single time.

I have an HTC Flyer, with a stylus, and it works great. I also have the Note II with the same type of stylus. I do quite a bit of math for my job, so I can say the stylus can help in that situation. If I'm writing out a long formula, it's nice to be able to use that stylus. If I have to type a lot of notes, I…

I have an iPad 2 and also an Asus Transformer, running Android. Personally, if I were to take one of them to class, it would be my Transformer with the keyboard dock. Not only is it a fully functioning keyboard, but an additional battery. The nice thing about Android is that you can use a regular wireless mouse,…

Stay classy!

According to the CDC, there are around 80,000 deaths each year directly related to excessive alcohol use. If you could attribute that kind of morbidity rate to any other substance, it would immediately be outlawed and banned in this country. 4 years ago, there was an outbreak of salmonella due to tainted peanut…

How many earlier generations of the iPhone and iPod are out in the wild? I would say there are a great number still in use. Those earlier devices won't get iOS7. Why? Hardware. Android has the same issue. Earlier hardware won't support many of the new features. That's why some carriers with proprietary skins…

Personally, I would rather build a hackintosh and go from there.

You are right, and I stand corrected.

I understand the desire to use a device which just works. Apple certainly fulfills in that category. When I said they hamstring their devices, I wasn't simply pulling something out of the air to complain about. A terrific example is the ability to connect a bluetooth GPS to something like the iPod Touch, or an…

I have had issues with that HDMI port. If it's not in the port just right, it flakes out. I will say my iPad gets a stronger wifi signal than my Prime. The only real issue I've had with wifi actually comes with my iPad. I was out recently, and the only wifi I had was with my wifi tether on my Note II. My thought…

No, not a bad example at all. All I really meant, and failed to articulate, is that Mac computers will always come with their OS as a primary OS. You'll never buy a Mac computer with only a Linux OS or Windows OS.

I've had issues with the GPS, which is also well documented, but I don't have issues with lag or wife like other people have experienced. I love my Prime with my mouse and keyboard.

Yes, but they've never come preloaded with something like Linux or Windows and those OS's only.
