I did the same thing. How is a keyboard shortcut really helping me when I have to go to the Google page to use it? I'm all about using the omnibar and rarely ever go to the Google homepage.

Of course complete abstinence is the only way to be truly safe. But for many people that's not a realistic option. Shouldn't we also teach safe, er, WiFi using, for those who are just going to do it anyway?

I tend to gulp and filter like a baleen whale. I take in huge amounts of information and filter out for the best, most actionable bits before applying it as a new skill.

I'm not one to buy things on impulse . . . usually. But for $35 this thing is a no-brainer. This is especially awesome for a house with 5 people so I don't have to hook up my computer to the TV every time we want to watch something.

As with locking a bike, the most important thing in password security is to be more secure than the next guy. Most people use the same password on every site. Even changing that one thing will drastically reduce the chance multiple-site hacks.

I'm with you on the algorithm. It's as secure as any other password, I don't rely on a service that can be cracked itself and I can't forget the passwords. Why would I want to use a password service?

"Don't do that. Don't resort to..." personal attacks "...to make your weak point. All you're doing is exposing the fact that all you have is a weak point."

A rational person would also refrain from using personal attacks to support a poor argument.

A rational person would weigh the costs and benefits of the various options and choose the option with the greatest benefit and lowest cost.

Sounds like Comcast for internet in my city.

Weird I'm neither wealth nor obsessive compulsive and I've done exactly what this article states.

Nexus 4 + T-Mobile $30/month unlimited data = winning.

We figured out that with two N4s (16GB) at $350 we will self-subsidize our phone purchase in 7 months since we were paying $170 for our two phones on Sprint (and they wouldn't offer me anything cheaper).

Selling the stuff and making any decent money on it is not easy. It takes time and energy to sell all that stuff, but it can be worth it.

When my wife and I did this we saw selling the stuff as not only a chance to make some money but also a way to help out our friends who needed stuff. We were willing to take a loss…

It would be dumb to sell something and re-buy the exact same thing. But, as the article states, this isn't about re-buying the same thing. It's about changing styles and reducing stuff.

If you don't want to do that, fine. Some people like having the same furniture for decades. Good on you, if that suits you.

What Chrome Book is $120 (the cost of the service for 2 years), and will replace my quad-core, 2GB NVidia GPU lappy for gaming?

Color me embarrassed for scan-error.

I have been wondering if the chlorination in tap water harms gut flora. Thus far I haven't found any credible studies to address the issue.

It's interesting that this came up today along with the Wall Street Journal article on the EPA revisiting its recommendation on fluoride due to neurotoxicity.

I'm a freelance writer so working from home is my main gig. I also teach one class as an adjunct, but that's just an hour a day.

I haven't seen that site yet.
