Humans are far more common in the bear environment than we are in the Orca environment. I agree, that if we spent a lot of time hanging around Orca in vast numbers, the rate of them ‘tasting’ us would increase. But when you have a buffet of food that you were raised on, why would you try something like a human? ;) Not…

That’s awesome. Glad both kitty and cyclist are safe.

I think that is probably the case. They have a diet of things they are used to and we simply are not part of that equation. If there was one that added humans to the diet, and then had offspring, those would likely have a propensity to also have humans in their diet. However, considering that the human availability vs…

You seem to be arguing a higher cognitive ability among the animals. I am not saying you are correct or not, but it takes some serious cognitive ability to equate causing harm to a human will bring some terrible retribution. Animal intelligence in general does not propogate like that. If you put a bunch of bears…

It’s the Decepticons!!

Thanks for this... good primer.

The alternative is no social security and rely on everyone to save appropriately. Unfortunately, there will still be a lot of people who don’t save adequately and that would likely be an even heavier drain on the overall economy. So you can either trust EVERYONE to do what is required, or you can compel everyone to do…

Testify!

I don’t know... those officials usually work for the car companies, not the individual. If the car companies want this, they will side with them.

the lack of tech knowledge (and knowledge in general) of our legislators is truly mind blowing. They are supposed to be speaking on the behalf of their constituents but cannot grasp the ideas, arguments, technologies, or concepts that they are being put in charge of legislating. Not sure what is worse, the elected…

I used to travel 100% for business over a 2-3 year period. I spent a lot of time in hotels. I ended up replacing my mattress and pillows based on my opportunity to try a good veriety of each. In many cases, the hotels have a store where you can actually buy their bedding (among other things). I bought the mattress…

Another option (if you have coax where you want to extend your wired network) is MOCA adapters. These are Etherent over coax adapters and can often work better than poweline adapters. They won’t interfere with a cable company’s signal or cable modems.

you cannot win for losing. ;) Need to change Lifehacker to LifeMath and start putting the equations to figure out everything instead of the quick tricks.

I don’t hate you. =) However “afford” can be pretty subjective. These sites aim to help show you what you can or cannot afford by putting some definition, knowledge and tools at your disposal. Maybe a person is sort of on the edge of what they feel they can “afford”, but a program aimed at first time home buyers may…

It appears to work pretty well when you sort of ease the saw into the pants... but what if it is a more direct hack into the pants? Seems the fabric of the pants splinters and stops the chain a more direct hit would like go far into the leg before stopping the chain. This would be better than nothing of course.

I worked on A-10s in Desert Storm. My favorite military aircraft, and relatively easy to work on. =) I have a couple of those shells sitting in my home office. We used to cut them down and make shot glasses out of them for reitrement gifts. Put 6 of them on a wooden serving platter in the shape of a cannon’s barrels.

If I was starving, maybe. I know it is a food aversion. In survival school, you learn about these things... but I still don’t like even touching most insects much less ingesting them.

I am with you... the term ‘hacking’ comes from the idea of hacking together parts, or breaking something apart to alter it’s purpose. This has been adapted to mean the same thing in the software/programming/computing world, as well as breaking or exploiting hardware designs. Snooping over someone’s shoulder is just…

Ohh.. and on a side note... if you are exerting yourself, you definitely want to be drinking a lot. During that same survival school, I nearly had to get a needle and fluids forced into me because even drinking about 8 full canteens (about 8 quarts) a day was not enough to keep me hydrated. Luckily I got over the hump…

I was in the military and went through a couple of weeks of survival school around Spokane Washington (in February ... brrr....). Anyway, we were taught that if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Now... I fully admit that it could be that they were highlighting the things to keep an eye out for so in a…
