I'm not a car person, but I still think this rule is pretty badly flawed. If you spend only $4,200 on a car, as in the example above for someone who makes $42,000 a year, then you'll also be paying much higher maintenance much faster, and replacing the car much sooner. I couldn't imagine driving around in a cheap, sub…

I love my 3DS, particularly the game Bravely Default right now. I just wish there was a smaller device (like the Pokewalker that came with Heartgold/Soulsilver) that you could keep on you to count the steps and trade street pass information. It's just a little too big to carry around with me all day (especially since…

I don't ever print anything anymore. I don't even own a printer. When I occasionally have no choice, I'll print it at work, or at my parents place or something. It's almost never an issue.

"...all the solutions offered online seemed to require some kind of carpentry or metal bending."

Turning off paper statements could also help. There's no reason in this day and age to wait for the slow physical mail to bring you your statements, and it wastes paper and money. It's hard to know for sure since I've always gotten stuff electronically, but for people getting things physically that dread opening it, I…

I have been floored with how fantastic this game is so far. I've only just finished the Intro and gotten to Chapter 1, but the story and the game play both look like they're going to be phenomenal. And I love that they took a classic turn based combat system and actually added some new aspects to it so that it's…

I don't think Google is evil, but actually judging the morality of a company is difficult, and almost silly. However, I do think that Google has had a massively positive effect on the world. Even if you don't personally like any of Google's services, their existence has likely had a positive effect on things that you…

Wait... So 4k has about half the resolution I thought it did. 720, 1080... It was always about horizontal lines. So I assumed that 4k was about 4000 horizontal lines of pixels. But for some reason this time it's about the vertical lines, and it's only 2000 horizontal lines.

But of course "correct horse battery staple" will always be the best password :)

Some aspects of this are good, but overall... this list is nonsense. Yes, not allowing "password" is good. Stopping log-in attempts after 10 fails is good. Obviously emailing the password in plain text is bad. But requiring at least 1 letter and number? Irrelevant. I'm sure many of you are aware that Tr0ub4dor&3 is in…

Got this idea a while ago when Lifehacker made a post about Symlinks. Been doing it with Google Drive and it seems to work perfectly!
