I have XBMC running on a jailbroken iPad 3rd Gen, and on a Nexus 7, and using both, I can say 7 inches is too small of a display(for me anyway). I prefer the 10 inch tablets, and probably helps the iPad made that the standard, and going smaller seems to small.

and I will state I do have a 3 month emergency fund, so I can fund those rare 'emergencies' if they do happen.

and having a credit card would eliminate this risk?

well I cannot 'accidentally' go back into debt without a credit card. I spent 9 months paying off nearly 30k and it hurt like hell(working 3 jobs) so I cannot ever see a need to use credit again, after dealing with that pain.

Oh I hated life, I had three jobs and had zero time to myself, but my only goal at that time was to get myself out of debt.

well the flaw must be with most people in this country, since most people are carrying a credit card balance.

which is majority of US citizens, who have credit card balances.

the last credit card purchased I made was in 2005. In 2007 I paid off nearly 30k in little over 9 months, and I will never go back. I cut up all my credit cards and canceled them all and only use only a debit card, and if I don't have the money to make the purchase then I cannot afford it, and that has got me by…

The true reason Tesla stock price is going up, is because Mutual funds and institutions are buying the stock. It was trading an average of 5 million share at the beginning of the year, last week 75 million shares were traded. Tells me that they believe in the product Tesla is selling and believe it is a profitable…

well Gizmodo just had an article on it, so I am sure there will be more people trying it now.

I have come to the conclusion, if you have more than four devices behind your entertainment system, it is literally impossible to make your cords look neat. I spent 7 hours labeling and shortening cords reading a lifehacker article and it still looks like a bowl of 'black' spaghetti behind my stereo.

I know iOS 5 killed my iPad 1st gen performance, to the point the 3rd gen became almost a necessity. Today, the only reason I keep the 1st gen around is because it is jailbroken and I can run XBMC on it, which works well and I don't have to worry about Apple pushing out an update that kills my jailbreak.

I use iTunes to organize my music and sync my iOS devices....and that is it. Using it to play music, or to do anything useful is a lesson in futility. I will say though, the previous version was much, much worse.

definitely going to try this when I get home from work. I am using a seedbox(probably the best $25 dollars I am spending) which make torrenting so much more secure, plus gives you wonderful ratios with private trackers. Would like to do something that hides my home torrenting, since my seedbox provider will not let…

I will say ...yes, yes, yes. Considering Amazon is cheaper than anyone else and when you can two day ship almost everything for free, why buy things from anywhere else.

Fedex is not much better, from this video.

I use ethernet everywhere in my house(just got my house fully wired with Cat 6 cable). I have media centers in every room with a TV, and wireless just doesn't offer the speed performance that ethernet does, so that is the big reason for using ethernet.

I just bought a iPod classic, to replace a failed older verson iPod. The iPod classic works perfect for car music source.

Then i guess you have never worked in retail, since employees sometimes have other jobs other than just serving the customers. I doubt the customer would like the employee yapping on the phone while serving them, so it is a two way street.

I can say two words if this ok....HELL NO!!
