When I was a child I received a Sega Genesis for Christmas one year. Another year I received an N64. I didn't receive these kinds of things every single year, but it happened on occasion. Those two consoles, adjusted for inflation, were roughly the same price as a PS4 and a Wii U would be now, respectively. …

For some odd reason, when drilling down to the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genre and scrolling to the bottom I do not see an option for a "Top Free" RSS feed, only a "Best Sellers" one.

You obviously assume things you shouldn't assume. A large part of the problem with Word, in my experience, is its font handling. Unless you use thousands of fonts, as I have more recently realized is the likely culprit, you may not ever experience this problem. It still makes it a horrible program, since it should…

Personally, I feel as though it may also be a situation where you're eager for a reward at first, but once you've achieved it it's less meaningful. For example, I had an ex-girlfriend who wanted to go to Weight Watchers and wanted me to go along with her. I agreed, but each week my losses were significantly better…

I remember that one! :D Love that show.

That's what I thought. Typically if you have a child, and therefore a car seat, you've probably been in seat belts enough to have encountered this in a car somewhere and figured out how to fix it. I mean, it's a good tip if you didn't know about it, but I don't really know who fits that description.

They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I suppose that does come in somewhere along the line. I do agree the kid is an idiot, however, and should never have done such a thing. I agree with others that his letter is VERY poorly written. Ms. Dodai. Missing random words. It sounds like he dashed…

When I saw Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for the third time in theaters I was basically just annoyed with sitting through it again (I enjoyed the movie a lot, but our theater was an older one with horrible seats, it was uncomfortable, and the damn movie is 3 hours long, I hadn't even wanted to go, I…

Your post got me looking, as I could've sworn when Thunderbolt came out I'd seen mention of pass-through systems or hubs and yet I can't find anything... I'm seeing a few "docking stations" with two Thunderbolt connections, but they require you to use one of the connections to connect it to the computer, making it…

I agree. Even with the logical fallacy, if all other versions of OS X released thus far were simply updates, they were paid updates. This one is free. So it matters. Especially when Microsoft is still charging over $100 for an upgrade, not even for the entire, standalone OS that can be installed on a brand new,…

This isn't new to Mavericks, it was introduced in Lion, I believe. There's an option to change it, but as I'm at work and haven't upgraded to Mavericks here I don't know if it's in the same place as it was in Mountain Lion. On this machine it's under the Mouse settings. It says "Scroll Direction: Natural" with a…

I loved Firefly for that. Every time a space scene was completely silent I was downright giddy.

As a man, I rarely read Jezebel, but in this particular case I just wanted to comment that I agree. It should be a choice made by the people involved as to whether or not any name changing should take place. A good friend of mine, whom I'd always referred to as his last name (because his first name is Mike and I…

I'm saying for logging into LastPass to access my passwords. I don't see the appeal of using YubiKey if my current password is significantly effective. Why spend $25 and risk having half of my password able to be stolen when I could, instead, have the entire thing in my head? And that password then allows me access…

I laughed way harder at this than I probably should've. I'm fat, but I'm also not a cop.

I ended up going with LastPass because of the extreme issues I had with 1Password on mobile. It does cost a yearly fee, but considering buying 1Password for all my devices would cost significantly more it comes out to a savings for several years at least.

I think the suggestion is to use this sort of password for your password manager. It's what I've done and while, at first, it was difficult for me to remember I now have no trouble getting into my password manager wherever I am. I think the Yubikey solution is a little silly, myself, because as soon as you've…

If you click the install button it should download the .js file since Chrome won't let you install it. Once you have the .js file, open the Extensions page and drag and drop that file onto the Extensions page and it will bring up a dialogue box asking if you want to install the file. Select "yes". That's how I got…

Just came down to say the same thing. Much prefer the on-tab counter.

ALMOST! That's, like, not even! Also, I'm relatively certain it was a joke. I, personally, use a Nerf gun.
