You can dig around at Salvation Army or Goodwill and pull off this look for a few bucks. Its unlikely you will find real silver, but who knows. I've found thousands of dollars worth of items for pittance over the years.

The problem isn't the difficulty of the question. The problem is the half-assed formatting. Question 4 and 5 of A are written on the same line which makes the problem horribly confusing. It, seriously, looks like: 7x(_x_)=21x75.(21x3)/_=7 I had to study it for a minute or two to figure out what they were saying.

I've never liked this routine. As a dude, I can completely understand where the father is coming from, but once the girl is old enough to date they should be able to stand on their own two feet with boys their same age. They're going to get hurt, nearly every one does. As a father your job at this point is to support…

Putting in another thumbs up for Torque. I've been using for a couple of years and it's pretty much the equivalent of every other app rolled into one. It is difficult to set up and the UI is not the prettiest, but it does it all: Logging, Live dashboard with customizable themes, map overlays, diagnostic checks, you…

Seriously. It's like a thousand times better than having to see the stinky crying kids in person anyway. Christ, I already have my hands full with my own, why would I want to see yours, in my living room, putting my knick knacks in it's slimy little mouth and trying to bite my dog. Just post a picture on facebook.…

There is no mention of the man's religion or any other identifying information as they don't know who did it yet. This could have been a hate crime. A nice sweet English white boy that hates him some Moslem's and decided to attack three foreign women. Or it could have just been a psychopathic asshole going after some…

You are right, but clearly their first misstep was to sleep in a hotel room. Hotels are notoriously dangerous for woman, and are often attributed to prostitution and the sex trade. Shame on them for putting their children at risk by bringing them to a hotel.

I believe, when you look at just recent college graduates working full time, the number is 82%. According to the AAUW in 2011 based off of 2009 Department of Education statistics. But, as other's have pointed out, overall women make 77% of what men make. The reasons aren't just workplace discrimination though;…

And then having to deal with tracked changes across 5 different copies... and you know one of those assholes would have sent back a copy in ODF or TXT. Snooty bastards.

Dear Smarter, Well, the first thing to establish if you're trying to figure out whether or not speeding is worth it is the legal cost. Even if we could prove that speeding is a more efficient way to get from one place to another, it's illegal and fines could cost hundreds of dollars. Not to mention the increased…

Ditto. A thousand times over. I haven't seen anything much from the last few seasons, so I have no vested interest in the finale suckage. That being said, Bob Saget should have been older-man Ted. Also, the whole, "your mom is dead and I want Robin" should have just been delivered flatly by Saget in one go where he…

Seriously, no. No.

Clearly the momma sloth is into the whole slow-food movement.

Corded phone on the wall AND a republican. These two things are correlated. I just know it!

It's a goddamned accident. We have had cats and babies together for 1000s of years. The parents don't need to 'better supervise' their cat and their baby and we sure as hell don't need to assume that the parents were doing a poor job. We already know we are doing a shitty job as parents, we are reminded of it…

I've heard folks at work talking about being coached on their professionalism by their spouse. Seriously people, if your work and personality suck so bad that you have to worry about 'professionalism' than you should think about a career change. Professional Professionals are the pits and they make jobs in corporate…

Yea.. no doubt... It's their fault. Someone is always at fault when something goes wrong, and it's usually the one being attacked. There must be blame here somewhere! Attribute!

The Pi will only get up to 250Mhz. I believe that cell phone signals on all carriers are higher than that. That would be cool though!

They'll fine the snot out of you here in the states and it's definitely something to keep in mind as you tinker. They have to catch you first though!

As I noted in the Make article, the pi is an unlicensed device for this sort of thing, so this isn't exactly legal. Second, the power output is probably above what is legal in a consumer grade fm transmitter (FCC says to keep it under 200 feet, this can get up to 300), so it's probably also... illegal. Third, some…
