If a car has notably low mileage for its age/type and the carfax shows a gap in registration, you know it was laid up for a reason—probably uninsured repairs, if an accident or repair history doesn't otherwise show up. That would be the time to scrutinize very closely, ask hard questions about the gap in use and…

And it's on my OG Droid in 3, 2, 1.....doh! Probably not this time. Guess it's time to go dual core. I'll miss the Sherman-tanklet Droid, the fun of pushing him beyond his intended limits, and seeing him exceed those limits over and over again. Good show, Moto. I hope Bionic or some other of the new Android…

Yeah, I'll bite. My dad died two weeks after I was born. Military (Ranger) training accident. My Mom never remarried. It was once and done for her. There were and still are (50+ years later) plenty of awkward, sad, generally befuddled and "why!?" moments. Most involve uncomfortable exchanges with other people,…

It's called a "market." If one isn't able to sell a product, that product will not make it in the market and that proprietor/developer won't either. Whether you're an Android user or iOS or whatever, the fundamental principle is the same. Whining about it won't help. Considering that, I certainly won't be using…

This is basically good advice—paying for equity, rather than just buying time certainly makes sense. However, as the comments note, it may not be timely advice under a particular person's circumstances. There are a lot of markets (e.g., the Atlanta area) where a house bought in 2007 is likely worth substantially…

It's all about market (natural) selection. Many options, which will survive? And of course it's not down to just one—obviously there's a robust Apple line, Android, and some others that may continue to thrive or not. Diversity—gotta love it!

Thanks for encouraging me to look—I didn't realize that the Ipad etc. icon (next to the search icon) had a menu. However, I think piers888 did a lovely and appropriately punctuated job of commenting on Gawker's depredations against what was a functional, helpful LH layout. Free speech 4evah!

Thank God for the comments! Otherwise this article is facially really bad, life-threatening advice. Having experienced fairly severe dehydration, I can confirm that by the time you really feel thirsty, it's too late. I was going to get some water, but when I got up, my blood pressure was so low, I passed out cold. …

The Rodney King moment was meant to apply to ESPNvy and Alan as well, but noone should feel left out. I prefer Android and more open systems to Apple's stuff, but no doubt Apple and iOS have some of the most brilliant developers and each environment can certainly challenge and help advance the other. That's why I…

Howzabout a lil Andoid love in heah?! Maybe Cardiotrainer or BodyFitness? Other suggestions?

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Can't we all—sniff, sniff—just get along?!

Soil pH is an important fact to know for the success of any planting. That said, composting a family's production of waste eggshells (or even crushing the shells and adding directly to soil) or watering with egg boiling water probably isn't going to make enoug difference to be a real concern (assuming your soil pH is…

+1 for learn major streets/alignments and +10 for ask a friendly looking local. In NOLA, a city laid out by drunks for drunks, the best advice I've heard is: When lost, within a few blocks there will be a bar. Go in the bar. Have a few drinks. Talk to the people, especially anyone referred to as "Chief" or "Cap." …

Tried to edit, but couldn't—no the F'n comment is just rude, jerk-sh_t, no matter how it's phrased.

Yes (you're doing it right just lining out the tip blank on the receipt) and yes (cash tips are better for the server) in NOLA and most cities.

Seems like this would be problematic for circulation in the mid and lower back and possibly also the legs, though the shins don't do much for circulation anyway.

May I suggest launching Kansas, instead. It's the home of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church as well. There is clearly something wrong there. Also second cookie monstress' message below +10.

I think the can with the applicator top is labeled as liquid electrical tape, instead of the brand pictured above, but functionally the same thing. Used it recently to coat the gripping parts of a binder clip cell phone holder (LH synergy—gotta love it)—much grippier and easier/quicker than wrapping with thread or…

You can "paint" on plastidip—I have a small can of the stuff that even has a brush attached to the cap. I've used it to repair nicked insulation on wires, where dipping wouldn't be possible. All the heat-shrink insulation I've used was not particularly "rubbery," more like a medium texture plastic, so not really…

We're all shades in between dark brown and light pink, with some other different pigments thrown in, either genetically or from experience/environment. Noone alive is black or white. So long as there is institutional focus on skin pigmentation, there will be opportunities to abuse that focus for disproportionate…
