Wasn't there a product reviewed here some time ago that did exactly this, right down to having a pre-made replacement bottle cap with vapour lock?

The default, since Windows XP at the very least, has been to disable write caching on all removable devices. The reason it's suggested to "Eject" drives before removing them is so that any programs with open locks on files on the drive can get a signal that the drive is going away and finish using the file, and also…

It can play back the 1080p video (Thanks to it's VideoCore chipset), but unless you're streaming that DTS-HD over HDMI/SPDIF to an amplifier (Which will then handle the decoding), you're not going to get 7.1 out of the Pi.

Trillian does this (and has done this for a long time) using Bonjour.

And if you don't have bedbugs, you also have the start of a very nice Sourdough starter.

I don't know about you, but I thought it was Robert Downey Junior's portrayal of Tony Stark in the Iron Man Movies that was modeled (at least in part) after Elon Musk.

What if I told you that "Self Raising Flour" is just plain flour and baking powder mixed in a ratio of 1.25tsp baking powder per cup of flour?

For the longest time, in the UK at least, the advice was to "Soak a tea towel in water and throw that over the fire". The towel holds the water in, rather than having it mix with (and displace) the oil/grease, it also forms a solid sheet, which starves the oxygen out, and cold water cools the fire also.

Greek yoghurt is considerably thicker than regular yoghurt (closer to cream cheese) as it has the whey strained out.

So, if we could just get Mr. Bryan Cranston to play Gordon Freeman in a live-action adaptation of the Half-Life series, that'd be great.

See, here's my issue with it.

I don't. Full on beard here. Pair of scissors to trim occasionally (Like when it's getting into my mouth as I try to eat, for example), but other than that, let it grow.

Let's go with these, in order.

Unfortunately not. Now, if it was a SNES, you could build a Retrode into it...

And here I was, about to post exactly the same thing. I wonder if they're going to call the pre-release versions "Elucid"...

As much as I love AMD (Running 6-core Bulldozer here), SimpleBurner below is right. Their latest, top-of-the-line processor (8-core Piledriver FX 8350) is barely comparable to a low-end i5 Intel processor (Which is highly annoying to me especially, being invested in the AMD architecture).

A great place to start would be the UK PC hardware and modding site Bit-Tech. Their most recent guide is (unfortunately) a little old now, so prices will have changed (for the better), but their advice still stands firm. Given your budget, you probably want something like their "Enthusiast Overclocker" rig, which has…

Wow. Someone's re-invented DidTheyReadIt.com, which was first launched back in 2003 and did exactly the same thing, in exactly the same way, for free.

"This doesn't affect your ability to stream media over UPnP, so there's no reason to have it enabled on any of your devices." - Well, not if you don't like easy connectivity. UPnP on routers (also called "NAT-PMP", or "Network Address Translation, Port Mapping Protocol") allows applications running behind NATing…

It's such a shame this is US only. And perhaps that should be made clear in the article.
