That was a great story...and you’re definitely evil

Two of the three phones I have used were bought retail, My very first smartphone, the Nexus One with a non-contract plan from T-Mobile, and now my Blue Studio Energy bought from Amazon using on Ting, again non-contract. In-between both those phones, I was on a 2-year contract with Sprint using a Samsung SII Epic…

It’s my dream to buy a house...(live in Austin, TX) but will never happen in my lifetime. Rents are ridiculous here, and yeah, definitely see how it would be cheaper to own...but we’ll never be able to buy. No matter how much we try to save, we’ll never hit 20-30% down. We were on our way a few years ago, had half…

Try LXLE on it. I have a P III 1.13 ghz and it works perfectly well. There's also MX-14. (a version of antiX) I have that running on an old p II 366 mhz and that also works quite well.

I did it earlier this year. I switched from Sprint to Ting. Was paying $150 month, two phones, family plan...went down to paying just under $45/mo. Turns out we don't use as much data/phone/messages as we thought we did.

I told my superiors less than two months ago I was unhappy at my job. They were shocked. Simply shocked. Nothing changed. No new projects. In fact, it's gotten worse. I'm what's considered a 'remote' in a call center. I am a local face to the public in my company while the main reps are in a different city & time…

Every driver in Texas needs to see this. you know how often I see someone do something similar? Every day. Driving to work. And driving home.

Combination of Amazon & Newegg. I usually start out going to Newegg to read the reviews, and check prices. Then, I hop on over to Amazon to buy it, if they have it. 9 times out of 10 it's cheaper at Amazon, and I get free 2-day shipping on top if that.

Just tried on my Nexus 10, and it's still not an option. would rather watch video on my table than my phone...bummer...

Definitely. I have the newer versions. An AR3700 and the RL80-UR22. The AR3700 now has Ubuntu on it which speeds it up, while the RL80 has Windows 8 (which isn't as bad as I thought it would be). I never put any type of HTPC software on either of them, and just use them not only for entertainment but a computer if…

I've been using vitamin C in very high doses (up to 14 grams a day without any bathroom effects) and that's kept my allergies at bay for me.

Seems that by the time I realize it's a cold, it's too late. But, while it's settling in, I'll take lots of vitamin C, use my netti pot (even if the nose is clogged, it seems to help unclog it) and sleep.

I am definitely in a dead-end job. A few years ago this job had potential, but then they decided to 'consolidate' and any potential the position had went out the window. I would have left already, but I can't seem to find anything else that pays me something comparable to what I'm making here, and gives a comparable…

I prefer them not to see how often I'm looking at cute cat pictures or videos....

Yup. I usually only use it for certain services, but recently I've been using it for everything....ever since the news of PRISM came out

When we bought our TV last year, I did lots of research, reading reviews, etc online before going to (the dreaded) Best Buy to get the TV. It was great. I was able to go in, zone in on the one I wanted, bypassed the DirectTV sales guy who kept hounding the TV buyers, got the TV on sale and went on my merry way. It was…

I recently acquired a computer has Windows 95 on it...not sure what I'm gonna do with it, yet..

I had to do a double-take on this post. I have a similar situation. Husband's boss was getting read to THROW OUT an almost-new Dell Vostro 200 tower (Still has the plastic wrap on it). He rescued it for me. I went ahead and gave it 4GB RAM, a 250 GB SSD, bought a new nVidia graphics card (a GTX something I think) and…

I've done it both ways. I much prefer it with the beans. I like a mixture of black beans and kidney beans. It feels more filling.
