Re: sui generis, Yep! re: SinisterFootwear's response, I think the quote should be revised to read "...never before have so many people been so mis-informed, yet so completely convinced they are right...." Another illuminating piece of rhetoric that reveals the state of gummint/politics today: "Who are you going to…

mmm, deep in the peat and happy as a pig in, well, you know. If you haven't tried it, the Oban is a "younger" scotch I really love—it has some "warm" notes in the flavor and such a beautiful color. I admit, my taste in scotch, though, runs toward younger spirits (like 10 yr) with a little bite. To me, when they get…

Agree, replace the old unit—stock head units in almost all cars are dramatically inferior in sound quality and features to what's available cheaply aftermarket. Never pay extra, when buying a car, for the stereo. If keeping a stock appearance for the dash is an issue, one could just get a good, small amp with the…

Most people who live below about lat. 34 N. and/or near a warming coastal environment (D.C., Baltimore come to mind) are dealing with heat and humidity at least 6 months of the year that severely impacts the shelf-life of "fresh" foods, including breads. Thus, anything that won't get completely destroyed in the…

Huh? How can you be over 20 and "new to wearing eyeglasses"? Never wore glasses, other than sunglasses, until I was just over thirty, due to deterioration of vision. Went to a presentation in a larger room and realized I couldn't really see the details of my audience's faces. Simple as that. Took a long time to…

I feel the same pain when I see something excellent, whether software, hardware, a product or event and it's only available in some country other than the U.S.A. Either hack around the national limitations or get your own "thing" for your own country. No use blaming LH about this any more than I should blame the…

My comment has clearly been taken entirely too seriously. It's the fact that I know I'm not perfect that motivates me to try to get another person (the cashier) who has the exact, right tool for the job at hand to take care of the security tags on the front end. My limited experience with these things is that they…

Ok, I'll say it—What? No Android love here?

Umm, just pay attention while making purchases to be sure the tags are removed at the register. Yeah, I've had to go back to a store and stand up to their questioning gaze—doing that once should be sufficient to make one quite careful about making sure these things are removed before you leave the store.

Thus, Jethro Bodean's self-describing phrase, "Suave (pronounced to rhyme with "wave") and debonaire (pronounced "deboner")." Reddit must be double naught spy central.

Ain't dat da troot! Maybe this could work as some kind of voip or tts intercom, but for music, it'd be more like torture than a hack.

That would never happen!? The cellular phone utilities are working for us, the consumers, right?

In regard to the driving "style" of Chicagoans (famous for their close passing, "cut-off" maneuvers), I refer to it as Illinnoyance.

My thoughts, prexactly. If in L.A., see Greg at Culver City Home Brewing Supply. As noted, you want food safe equipment for this, not lead impregnated, industrial parts. Tell him JB said dayallaxededed for him at da Audubon Zoo. It will do you no particular good, but the quizzical look will be worf it.

For tools and shop equipment, Harbor Freight is great about making pdf versions of their products' manuals available right from their online catalog listings. Very convenient. If you can't remember what kind of oil was recommended for that compressor (whether an HF buy or some other brand) while at the store, just…

I had that happen once, recently, when an install hung. There may have been some apps running in the background, too. But the phone was just in my pocket, screen off, and getting hot as hayell. So it's still the processor, not the battery and it's an issue of rather poor cpu/memory management of apps and hardware…

I've never noticed much heat from the battery, but the cpu gets scary hot sometimes on my OG Droid. The main culprit is google maps navigation, but just about anything that's highly processor intensive will crank the heat. I have stable function OC'd up to 1.1ghz, but the old girl heats up so fast at that speed,…

I've found that adfree (root) works with Dolphin Mini though it's only specified to work with HD. Another nice bit provided by Dolphin, but so far as I know, no other Android browser.

KeePass, LookOut, and DroidWall are security and management apps that really should be included. Script manager and the v6 supercharger script deserve de rigueur status, too.
