As I said, over three years ago, putting it under “Friday Fun” made it a suggestion for something to do, for fun, on a Friday. It’s clearly not written as a “How to keep someone out of your pool if you run a hotel”. Writing an article explaining in detail the best ways to put poison in someone’s drink so they don’t…

I have a feeling it’s going to be designed with pressure sensitivity for the iPad Pro (which is one of the big selling features of the Surface for artists), but it would probably work WITHOUT pressure sensitivity on a standard iPad. Problem is, paying that much for a glorified stylus with no pressure sensitivity…

Exactly my issue, it’s a slippery slope to adding more commercials back in later. Needs to be commercial free, not commercial “free”.

Yes, you couldn’t originally access Hulu from any mobile device/TV/ect. without a Hulu Plus account. I wrote them off at the time because that was ridiculous. Ads AND a pay service to watch it on my phone? No thanks.

I was excited by this. In fact I just asked for exactly this the other day. But paying $4 per month and still have pre- and post-roll ads on popular shows? That’s a deal breaker. I literally was about to go to Hulu and subscribe based on this headline, and I get the whole “it’s only two or so commercials an hour”, but…

DMoose called it, and that was a pretty fast turnaround from wanting to “talk” to doing exactly what he called you on:

As I’ve, personally, never heard of a website dedicated to pedophaelia or animal abuse in a proactive way, I kind of assumed it was ridiculous enough to refer to those sites as though they were real. Guess I was wrong. Honestly, you’re focusing on the wrong part of the post, anyway, and want to play semantics. I’d…

Yes, overexaggerating to make a point is absolutely ridiculous, isn’t it? I’m sure you’ve never overstated anything in the history of the universe. What I’m saying is cheating isn’t exactly a good character attribute, so I don’t exactly feel horrible that these people might get into trouble for it, even if that…

Thank you for this, I was getting downright angry it didn’t open to “This PC” because I have 6 different internal hard drives (and occasionally a thumb drive or external drive attached) and it really is the easiest way for me to get to whatever I’m trying to access.

It is extremely screwy how the upgrades handle unexpected situations. I had made a registry modification on Win8, I believe, and when I went to upgrade to 8.1 it flipped out and actually ruined the current install because it couldn’t revert back, so I had to wipe and start over. The registry change I’d made? Was to…

Please share the process for this. And remember, it is NOT the “lock screen” it is the “login screen” with the Windows logo with the light beams on a blue background. The lock screen is easy to change and found within the normal options, but I haven’t seen anywhere to change the login screen (the screen you type in…

The symlinks have been referenced as a huge issue a few times for Windows upgrades to handle on sites I’ve read, so I’ll bet that is most likely your problem. When I moved my personal folders I simply re-linked them by right-clicking (for example) the “Downloads” folder and choosing the new location, allowing Windows…

You’re right, I may have stated a fallacy about the nicotine content in exhaled vape, though studies HAVE compared it to cigarette smoke and found that, on average, it has quite a bit less. And since the person inhaling it second-hand wouldn’t be inhaling ALL of what you’re exhaling, only a small amount, I feel it’s…

Yeah, it’s really amazing, the mechanical construction means it’s a LOT harder to fry out any of the components unless, as I said, you fry the USB controller. Anything else is simply a mechanical connection, and since you can hold a key down for a LONG time (thus completing the connection) and not cause issues with…

“Can be used in hospitals” and “it’s used in inhalers” is specifically referencing ONE component of e-liquid, the propelyne glycol. That’s because people love to throw out the fact that this particular component is in antifreeze. So is water, but you still drink that. Knowing it has the ability not to freeze doesn’t…

The article you’re referencing, as well as MANY other articles referencing the incident, had the information wrong. The company on the label that was mentioned in the original article only sells the more concentrated nicotine. Most nicotine sold this way IS somewhat diluted, in the same way some household cleaners are…

Thank you, I had no idea about that one. I’m familiar with several of the Windows-key shortcuts, glad to add that one to the list.

I just came to ask if that was an intentional Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference and also to thank you for the reminder that I’m sad Douglas Adams is gone and we’ll never see more of his genius writings.

That’s another good tip, someone else mentioned lemon juice, but I tend to have ketchup more readily available without wasting a chunk of lemon (or heaven forbid cutting up a whole one just to clean a pan).

Haha, very true, it is quite dated thanks to inflation.
