My smartphone takes serviceable photos and videos, though if I'm planning on taking pictures I'll use my P&S. Canon ELPH 110HS. Optical zoom, better image quality, better flash, optical IS, much quicker operation (quicker to turn on and take pic, quicker time to focus, and better shutter lag), and under continuous…

At my previous job I used it for sneaker net. I had a locked down corporate Dell Desktop with a pair of 19" Dell monitors with built in USB Hub. On my desk I also had a standalone laptop with special software that had a specialty printer connected to it. I had a crappy flash drive connected to a dollar store USB…

I voted "Macally Mini 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub", because about 4 or 5 years ago I bought an identical Hub at Walmart for $20 under the "Lexma" brand, model "USL" hub, and it's been going good since. Has a 2Amp PSU and I've been using it no problem to charge iPod, Android phone, android tablet, and I connect my printer,…

Pretty much mine. I have a bookmark to the radio station's webcam that I use to replace my window. And my work PC runs WindowsXP.

Cigarette plug in things work if you left your lights on and drained the battery, but if you have a battery that is weak from age (and it's cold), or your battery has an internal fault, it won't work. In those cases you can charge the battery all you want but the battery, nor your plug in thing, can provide enough…

In my province in Canada there are signs on steep hills on freeways (with 100-110km/h speed limits) "Use 4-way flashers under 70km/h). Tractor trailers normally obey this (whether or not a sign is present on the hill they are on), and it is beneficial so you know from a distance away that you should get ready to move…

The thing is it seems the advice is catered towards really high end weddings, which is a complete disconnect from the readership.

Heat / cool vents are along the outside walls, and under windows precisely because they are the source of loss. If the vents were on the inside wall you would have a temperature gradient as you went across the room to the outside wall. With them along the outside you end up with a more even heat, and you make sure the…

Maybe add some sugru?

Recently I had to book a last minute trip to a supplier (2 days before going). They offered company discount rates for visitors at three different hotels. $89 at a local brand hotel, vs $109, and $120 at two different Hilton hotels. The $89 hotel was better than what our company's travel agency could find, or what I…

I stayed in a Drury once. It was rated #6 in the city according to Trip Advisor. $79/night for a new hotel. The included Cocktail hour / snacks included 3 free alcoholic drinks, and enough snacks to make a meal: Not just chips, there were baked potatos, salad, and chili. Breakfast was good too with a large selection.…

It's an interesting diet, I've done it. Strange as it is, the hunger on fast day seems to come, then go, then come, then go.

It's generally recommended to spread them out, with at least one day in between, so Monday / Wednesday, or Monday / Thursday, as examples.

Using some Ikea furniture, an Ardunio, and some code in AutoHotkey we might.

Once every 6 years. I had an old Nokia, like this one, I bought in 2006, and I retired it in 2012 when I upgraded to a Samsung Android. Both I purchased outright.

Calories in, Calories out.

I miss things not bogging down unexpectedly.

I think the length of feed history is a factor of how long they've had their back end up and running. It should be good from this point forward.

Almost. They claim 500GB, but people think they mean 500GiB, when really they mean 465GiB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte
