Picking out the right client isn't actually that hard. You accept clients until you have a full work load, then you increase your rate, rinse and repeat. A good client is one who keeps you busy and pays you consistently.

My knife collection consists primarily of Kiwi brand knives purchased for very little from an Asian market. For cheap knives, they work wonderfully.

I liked their old logo better. I'm not gonna go on a hunger strike over the new one.

Technically speaking, a buckling spring isn't a mechanical switch. Yes, the spring buckling does provide mechanical feedback, but the switch itself is actually a capacitive switch (IBM Model F) or a membrane switch (Model M, Unicomp,etc).

There will always be a contingent of users who demand more from their devices than stock allows. This is because it is near impossible to design a cookie cutter product which meets the needs of every single person ever.

I often use fresh grated tomatoes in some dishes, but I wouldn't really use it raw... way too much liquid. I guess you could shove it through a chinois, but that isn't really a quick hack and far from neat.

I did not like the RK-9000. I went through three of them, all of them failing at the USB port. I have one sitting in my work office which is running fine, but it sits stationary. My home office PCs have sliding keyboard trays and a toddler, and the little plug couldn't make it.

I was in the list... it had a very old password.

I tried getting my report, and it was a pain in the ass. It asked lots of questions about stuff that happened a very long time ago that I didn't remember very well, and locked me out from trying when I answered wrong.

These tools which provide your credit report on demand are invaluable to folks like me who spent many foolish years actively destroying their credit score. I'm glad that more companies are making this available and the credit score isn't some secret number that your banker holds your future hostage with.

I think it's even worse when publishers ask the players to actually PAY to help make the game.

Most security protocols don't allow for formatting disks when sensitive data was stored on them. They require physical destruction of the disk. The cost of a disk is significantly less than the cost of a security breach.

NEVER loan money to a friend unless you are willing to give it to them as a gift. Losing a friend over a debt is a silly thing.

There is a difference between cheap furniture and inexpensive furniture. I've had cheap bookshelves, and they have collapsed under the weight of the books on the shelves. I've also had inexpensive bookshelves which didn't look too great, but have lasted years without any major fuss.

Apple didn't disrupt the cell phone market, they just joined the cell phone market. That market still has the same major players building phones. Sure, all the phones are smarter than they were years ago, but the market wasn't disrupted. The tablet wasn't disruptive either. It is another sustaining innovation.

I worry that step #1 of your process is to install another crap app that duplicates existing windows functionality.

I've read that this isn't an intentional anti-piracy effort, just the result of a poor quality crack.

I've never used a basin wrench in my entire life, and I just completely renovated my bathroom (gutted down to the studs).

I recently bought a house, and I've been in the process of updating the electrical. I've installed EVERY outlet "upside down", because outlets work better that way.

If I'm gonna absorb material, I need a hard copy. It's how my head works. But, reading for pleasure, digital works great.
