I know this is an old post, but I'm genuinely curious, do you know if this is different for routers that come with stands that offer to stand in either direction? I have had a few over the years that could lie "flat" with one of the long sides (the side with the mounting hardware, btw) facing down toward a desk, but…

Just so people are aware, if someone "sneaks up" on you from an angle where they can see your screen, it becomes incredibly obvious if every time they hear your voice or see you approach a window suddenly minimizes or disappears. I've known employees to do this and, since I'm the designated IT person for our small…

Well, since the original post I was replying to explicitly asked if it locked the door and only opens for your cat/dog, and the response never answered that question, it seemed to me at the time that was a negative, hence why I responded the way I did. Also, this was a conversation that occurred 7 months ago... why…

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS. My girlfriend once left a candle in my truck because "it makes it smell good" and while I did notice that the wax would melt I didn't really care because, hey, it's contained. That is, until it got knocked over and spilled pretty much the entire candle worth of wax across the floor of my…

No, it's pretty common with Word on Macs. Granted, I am using the 2008 version and not the latest update, but considering it's always been this way, on every Mac we've run it on in this office (5 separate machines of 3 different builds), it's definitely an issue with Word and not with the OS.

Yeah, it drives me up the wall.

I dunno, my Mac at work and my Windows machine at home are pretty similar specs and usually the only time iTunes hangs on me like that is when I'm going to the store and it has to load remote info. Word shouldn't have to do that, lol

On a Mac I only use Microsoft Word, but it is one of the worst pieces of software I'm forced to interact with on a daily basis. I run InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop and all three simultaneously run perfectly fine. Open Word and it'll hang for 2 minutes before letting me do anything productive, and actually…

That's how I feel, that it's always about finding what's right for you. Like, personally, cutting out soda may well begin weight loss for me since I normally drink so much of it. Changing my eating habits is my next move, and I know what I need to change and where I should focus. But I would never say that my exact…

He specifically states to avoid "Gluten free" foods as well. It's like how people buy "fat free" or "reduced fat" snacks and don't bother to look at the amount of sugar that is added into them. What he's saying is to avoid gluten without going to "gluten free" substitutes since, as you say, they're not very healthy…

Yeah, it certainly doesn't LOOK like it's supported by anything until you check out their site and see more images, which I think is one of the appeals of the design, myself.

I completely agree with you. I'm more thinking of a woman bringing a friend along, since they are the ones who might be likely to feel less secure in a meeting up situation. I definitely don't recommend any guys try this unless the decision is to hang out as a group with a friend or two each coming along to make it…

I can see your point there, but that's why I mentioned it doesn't exactly have to be considered a date. I'm more thinking about going somewhere with a group, even. Perhaps both people bringing a friend along. It's a safety in numbers game, especially if the people involved are younger. I, personally, don't have…

If that's what you would think of someone wanting to bring a friend along to the first meeting of someone who's intentions they don't truly know, then that's your prerogative. To be honest, with how you immediately attacked me for suggesting a person who isn't sure of their personal security (remember, we could be…

The only thing I'd like to add here is that there is no reason NOT to take a friend on a first meeting with someone, even someone you're interested in romantically. As a guy, if a girl I met online and wanted to date instead said "why don't you come out to dinner with my friend and I tomorrow" I wouldn't say no. …

Well, as I've said elsewhere, I rarely eat at the theaters, and if I do I usually buy their popcorn. Considering the largest size is actually somewhat reasonable for a group of people to share, that's typically what we do. I'm more concerned with drinks, which I often just take in by sliding a bottle of pop into a…

Because movie theaters only ever show movies for one week, right? Also, I almost never go there on the first week because I hate the crowds and the idiots who usually go to a movie in the first week or two. So I'm giving the theater more of the money from my ticket. So why should I be punished with outrageous…

Actually, if you'd notice, I very rarely mention food because I almost never eat at the theater. I usually eat dinner before I go. I do, however, often times bring in something to drink because most movies are far longer than 90 minutes nowadays (the ones I watch anyways) and going 2 hours with literally nothing to…

But, see, you have a theater near you that seems like a completely reasonable experience. All I'm saying, is that more places should be like that.

I can understand where you're going with it, but to be fair I don't go to bars and pay a cover charge, either. I'm fine with bars that charge, say, a "two-drink minimum" as their cover, however. Again, they're saying "you gotta buy something to be in here, not just come and enjoy the entertainment and then leave". …
