I doubt this was just a mistake in the sense that they included a term that they didn't intend to. More likely, it is the result of a corporate culture that causes the in-house attorney's to err on the side of screwing the consumer to protect the company and the shareholders. This isn't the case of an untrained…

The Studio ghibli English dubs have always been very well done. However, that doesn't make it an easy choice because the Japanese voice actors are all really good as well. I still give the Japanese the edge in most of the movies.

It took him a couple tries, but here is youtube video of someone pulling it off:

Headshot to a helicopter pilot in Battlefield 3 with a sniper rifle is by far the most satisfying kill I've ever pulled off in a game. I've only been able to accomplish it once.

I like Windows 8. It runs snappier than windows 7 did and I'm glad that I upgraded (a few bugs and annoying "features" notwithstanding), but after trying to use the full screen apps for a couple months, I realized that they were a much less efficient way to work on my desktop. I can see how they might be useful on a…

Kefka is my second favorite RPG villian of all time, right behind Luca Blight.

do you know anyone else with a Nexus 4 that you can compare yours too? this sounds like it might be an issue with your phone. My Nexus 4 is louder than my T-mobile G2 and my Galaxy Nexus and I use it in my car using the AUX cable all the time. What phone did you come from before your Nexus 4 that you are comparing…

I was doing that for a while, but I found that once or twice a weeks was sufficient for me. I don't know what I'd do without out it any more. they better not start charging for the service in the future.

Alternatively, if you use credit cards (for rewards etc.), use a service like Mint.com and make a habit of checking your finances once a week to see where your money is going and adjust your budget accordingly. I went from saving $1000 a year before I started using Mint to averaging $6000 a year over the last 2…

Dark World Theme from link to the past.

Vending Machines are everywhere in Japan - it has the highest vending machine to population ratio in the world. There are a lot of areas of the country that have a lot of pedestrians, but the property rent is so expensive that an entire storefront would not be cost effective - thus the use of a vending machine on the…

It is upgradable. The motherboard is modular so you can swap out pieces and replace them with more powerful components when they become available.

My (Japanese) wife is amazed by the western obsession with Ninjas. Things that are foreign have a unique appeal due to their foreignness.

I really hope that TESO turns out to be something special, but I just haven't seen much that has got me excited about it... And this is coming from a fan of the series from the very beginning.

Gimp is a great program, and can do the basics just as well as photoshop (cropping, lighten/darken, etc, removing background objects etc.) but Photoshop still better in a number of areas including working with RAW files. I like starting in lightroom and doing a lot of work there and then bringing files into photoshop…

I think it is less that the workers take pride in their work, and more that the Japanese consumer expects more of the people that provide service to them (my wife has worked Japanese customer service for various companies for 6 years)

I only check my score if I'm applying for new credit (car etc.), but I do check my credit reports 3 times a year (one from each of the credit bureaus each 4 months) for free from annualcreditreport.com. I also have credit monitoring through creditkarma.com that sends me email alerts of any changes.

Can you explain what it was about the announcer and music that turned you off to the game? Was it just the fact that everything you did was narrated that irked you? I'm just interested because I was the complete opposite - it was the music of the game that got me interested in the game in the first place and I doubt…

For those of you that have built their own NAS, what software did you use. I helped my cousin set up a system based on FreeNAS, but I understand there are a few other options out there and I was wondering what suggestions the lifehacker community had. I'm thinking of building one myself to host all of my media files…
