I myself have never been aroused at the prospect of tossing my stuff. Well, whatever floats your boat :P

Yes, letting gay people marry will affect other's lives. However, that is irrelevant. However roundabout and apologetic you may be, you are promoting the restriction of civil rights, solely based off of the fact that you have a selfish, and ill-conceived belief that if gay people are allowed to marry, suddenly the…

The first aid kit has several problems:

To be honest, it doesn't really make sense to not use native speakers to dub tv shows/games. Have a good translator translate the game too English/whatever-language lines, then have native speaker voice them.

My god, the level of stupid required to believe something like this is beyond comprehension. Computers are almost entirely electrical devices, meaning that any kind of wear is cumulative from use, not startup. The only mechanical component is the hard drive, and the obvious way for harddrive manufacturers to protect…

The best recommendation I have for you is to stop trying so hard. Take a break from trying to learn programming, just do the minimum. Once you get hit by inspiration again (which you will), jump right into it, starting with a small and attainable project. I've found that when I was trying to learn C++, I'd never get…

Pretty much any el-cheapo keyboard can be washed without taking the circuit board out. It'll probably reduce the lifespan of the keyboard though, as air drying it will cause corrosion, which will especially affect things like capacitor/resistor pins.

I like the taste of this. It has a nice base of ludicrousy (new word), spiced with hilarious irony, and finally with not-so-subtle hipster undercurrents. Beautiful!

Sure that phone looks similar to Apple's iPhone. That's not the issue at hand right now. The issue is that due to the minimalistic nature of the iPhone, it is extremely difficult to develop a competing phone without "infringing" on Apple's design. Think about it: the iPhone is a thin brick, with a single button and a…

Life extension could be the worst thing to happen to the human race. As exciting as the prospect of living double the normal lifespan or more is, one must consider the fact that we are facing overpopulation issues as it is, now imagine the possibility that it would take entire generations double the amount of time to…

They see me trollin'... They hatin'...

These kinds of people bug me almost as much as the "GAY SEX SHOULD BE ILLEGAL BECAUSE GOD SAYS SO" people. They are just so narrowminded, restricted to thinking in terms dictated by a book written thousands of years ago, and revised by many a self-interested kings in the meantime. In situations in which a prospective…

People make weight loss sound like some kind of nearly impossible quest, but if people just went for the conservative, medically proven diet, of restricting calories (to a responsible degree), and exercise. You can still enjoy good, tasty meals if you just eat in moderation, with a focus on vegetables, while limiting…

And like a bullet, hurtle into the very, very expensive machine surrounding you.

This sounds like a great idea for things like bread, but not so great for sweet baked goods like cookies. I guess it would still work if you used mostly butter, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I wouldn't bother overclocking any high-performance desktop GPUs. These days they're generally factory overclocked already, and hence you probably won't be able to push them any more, and even if you can, you'll probably experience graphical artifacts (i.e snow, random pixel data getting scrambled, or more subtle…

It does. As long as the drive is recognized as an SSD (which it usually is, assuming it's from a well-known manufacturer), it will not be defragmented, nor will Windows allow you to manually defragment it using the built-in utility.

Disk Checking is what can give you back space that's missing/corrupted. Defragmentation tools will have no effect on corrupted/unindexed sectors, as all they do is move sectors around. Granted, some tools may do a disk check as part of the defragmentation process, but the actual process of defragmenting itself doesn't.

Who carries their socks to their shoes before putting them on/Who keeps their shoes beside their bed? I always don my socks after waking up, walk around the house getting ready, and then pull my shoes on at the door and leave :P

Although Gigabit Wifi standards may be soon to arrive, it's unlikely you'll actually see such speeds in practical scenarios. The bandwidth specification for each wifi standard is merely intended to standardize maximum bandwidth between devices. Not as an aproximation of the speeds you'll actually get. For example, if…
