When I have about 5 minutes in a given day to bother to shop for games, clicking the tab on Steam that shows their current discounts, deciding if I want to bother to get any and then moving on with my life certainly isn't irrational. It's very rare that I take the time to sit around and browse through various sites…

I guess my takeaway (and I may be wrong) is that if you are only going to watch ONE store, your best bet is Steam. If you want to get the best deals as early as possible, however, you should watch 9 stores total. I like the research, and it is a good reminder that there are other places to look for games, but my…

My eyes popped out of my head.

I, personally, feel the other two "reasons" are less controversial than the one quoted here. I've always felt that thanking the person introducing you through the mic and addressing the audience while doing so seemed silly and slightly pointless. Also, a thank you at the beginning of a presentation seems slightly…

"Of course, you could also use the switch for other things—the on position could be used to fire up a web browser, start a game, or perform a more complicated task, for example."

Yeah, the inexperience thing is something I've had to deal with myself once, but in all the times I've gone there, one bad experience over quite a few great experiences just had me wondering a little. In fact, the one time they DID screw up the manager over there came to me to do a second oil change since my truck…

I get that they must be getting it cheaper and so on, I'm just trying to understand how the "save money" angle makes sense when I can "save money" by going to someplace like that over what I can buy my own supplies for. Perhaps if I, too, buy it in bulk? Perhaps that would make it come out at least more even?

Wow, must be empowering to go around and post on almost-two-year-old posts calling people stupid. If you hadn't noticed, many people agreed with me when I posted this. The original post SPECIFICALLY referred to bittorrent, where a .rar is completely pointless since it, at best, saves maybe 1% of space on the entire…

An honest question that someone other than me can probably answer very easily... I've always heard that changing your own oil is a good way to save money, but my truck takes 5 quarts of oil, and everywhere I've looked it costs me more to buy the oil and filter than it does to go to the local Penzoil and get an oil…

I think this would also help with the illusion since most of them that swing outward will eventually wear down grooves in the floor which can make it obvious there is a door there. In this design the grooves would be hidden under the bookshelf as well. Very cool.

I've found that I might be generally stuck in the past when it comes to music. I used to listen almost constantly when I was younger, and now I only really listen to the radio in the car, or fire up Pandora (which is setup to music I liked from that time) when I want to listen at home. It's become slightly stale to…

Unfortunately your question was formatted as though you were curious, not as a suggestion, so I don't think they would've understood that. You might want to just comment the answer to such a question with the suggestion to add it to the article next time. It would be more likely to be taken as a suggestion instead…

It's been well-known that the 7.0.x jailbreak won't work with 7.1 for a while now. Not sure if anyone will find a new exploit in 7.1 or not. The assumption is that 8.0 will be announced sometime this year so people may not want to burn an exploit they know of or waste their time looking for a new one (especially…

That looks a LOT better. I can't believe they released the first design at all. I'll stick with Fantastical, myself, but this is looking more and more like it every day.

Wow, the details make it horrible, unfortunately. I'll stick with their nacho fries, which are awesome.

What is that thing and why do I want it? I'm sure if I actually bought one it'd look horrible, though. They always make the perfect pizzas for their photoshoots.

I actually thought it was waffles with french fries in it, which sounded oddly interesting to me.

A) This post is almost two years old so I have NO idea why it even matters at this point. B) Your comment is confusing and so poorly worded that I don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.

Thank you for this. At first I thought that it was telling me to do it the same way the strap was already fed when I bought it, but it isn't. This way does feel significantly more secure, especially since the small black square plastic things I always assumed should slide up the strap a bit to keep them together now…

Haha, nope, I hadn't been working for McD's for a few years when I posted the original. Glad you found it, thought! Lifehacker is awesome. :D
