come on, sprinkling anything on the carpet and vacuuming it up is just not going to cut it. I think the biggest carpet problem most people have with really dirty carpets is that it is the cheap grade contractor stuff that's been around for a few years. Better carpets will resist stains. The only solution I've seen…

Let's qualify what failures are though. I doubt they reward errors.

one word. "DON'T"

Thank you for this article. It is nice. But I would definitely emphasize the very valid point of using an uninstaller to clean off that crap in the first place. Reinstalling Windows, especially when you have to track down drivers, can be a very arduous and draining process to say the least (and I have some…

yeah, I have to find a meeting that works for me. Weight loss/dieting is definitely what proves one solution does not fit all, but weight watchers seems to be effective so long as you stick with it.

Yes, it is wonderful to get them to read books and share that with them. And congrats on getting your son involved. That's one thing I need to work on with my son more. My daughter is stuck reading Wimpy Kid books — I want to see if I can get her interested in something else.

going to bars is not a hobby. Spending time with clubs where you go hiking, or building sometihng is more interesting and productive.

All of that is really overcomplicating the issue. You get a home so that by the time you retire, you have a place to live on a reduced income(since you won't need rent money anymore).

Junk mail me all you want. My kids school makes money from recycling the paper.

don't forget social engineering can easily circumvent the best password, as lifehacker was kind enough to share in one of their horror stories. I think the bigger danger out there is linking too many accounts together, using good security questions, and watching for trouble.

I was going to say I don't care about getting unfriended, but the truth is I really just do not want to know.

I guess for the one time you forget. Still I would have tried and negotiated something better.

yikes, that really stinks! makes the wind tearing my storm door off seem like nothing.

Thanks for this article. RescueTime has always been an interesting app for me, so it's great to read the story behind it.

#1 rule/takeaway. don't be a jerk. The officer probably isn't having fun either.
