I have a Galaxy Nexus and rooted it the first day to run AOKP with Franco kernel. I had that combo on my previous Droid X and couldn't give up the toggles in the notification bar plus some other tweaks. Again, this was before Android updated to putting a few toggles in the notification bar (I believe JB 2.3?).

We got…

I was going to make the same comparison to the PC market. It seems like the mobile market is reaching a plateau similar to the PC race in the late 90's and early 2000's. There was the Intel vs. AMD, how many cores you had, or which level of Pentium processor. There was brand allegiance between Compaq, Gateway,…

That is amazing you didn't have a mold issue from moist air being trapped in your roof. Also amazing that hot air in the roof, combined with all that lint never caught fire in some fashion. Great thing it was found eventually and probably tons of energy savings now.

Definitely helps a ton. The coil cleaner didn't accomplish a lot but was pretty cheap and the only thing Lowes had. I had seen a few videos that mentioned a filter next to the air handler (we have electric) so I probably should get up in the attic and check it out.

My wife was here when the HVAC guy was here, so who…

Our LG dryer does that occasionally. It's only 3 years old and was quite expensive new. Everytime we get that error, it's because it's a smaller load and the drum gets off balance because all the clothes end up in one clump. We can either take the clothes out, shake them out and continue running the dryer to…

We just went through this and I got a couple cans of the coil cleaner and went at it with a hose. Even after the cleaning, the a/c was super inefficient and could barely maintain a temperature below 78. Finding the pipes into the home from the exterior unit frozen is what actually prompted the coil cleaning.

I know…

Just moved into a new rental home and had the same issue. The dryer is ours and is only 3 years old so I was confident it wasn't a faulty machine. It most likely is running inefficiently due to a clog in the venting system. The clog could be in the hose between the machine and the wall, or in the wall duct work…

Well said. The more accurate the underwriting, the more fair it is to all consumers. If there is a measurable correlation to make the underwriting more accurate, then it should be used. Helps keep costs where they should be, so those who should be in a lower risk group actually are put there.

I couldn't have summed it up into as few a words any better than that.

I can promise you that auto insurance companies aren't making money hands over fist. I just changed jobs, but I worked for Geico for a little over a year until May. Hurricane Sandy pretty much crushed the auto insurance industry and only the top companies got through it without huge losses. I know for a fact most…

Convenience. I just plop the remote down into it's dock and it's fully charged and ready to go when we pick it back up. Same goes for the Xbox controller. With two battery packs and a charger for those packs, I never have to worry about making sure batteries are charged or keeping them nearby. Just exchange the…

Just ordered 8 more Eneloop AA's, I think that puts me now at about 30 AA's and 8 AAA's. Got the first batch, with charger, about 4 years ago and haven't had a single issue. I think I now have a rechargeable battery in everything that takes batteries in the house. Got the extra ones today while ordering two motion…

I got a Logitech solar keyboard and haven't put a battery in it since I bought it two years ago. I didn't even care about the solar tech, I just liked the feel of the keyboard. But now it stays charged just on regular light bulbs, and if it ever gets too low then a few hours sitting in a window sill gives me another…

I understand the sentiment but there is something to the mental aspect of 'going to work'. Looking professional can lead to more professional work. This may not be the case for you, or even the majority of people. But I know if I could get up and go to work in pajamas, I probably wouldn't take my job seriously.

Kind…

I've used a similar method to this when being contacted by a bogus collections agency. I can't remember where I got the letter but the wording is basically along these lines. It stated I don't recognize the debt and until they can prove, in writing, that the debt was valid and that I was actually the person to whom…

Dolphin Connect is a the Chrome Extension for the PC. You can send pages to your mobile, share bookmarks, or it auto syncs open pages on your PC to your mobile so you can keep reading whatever your screen was on if you have to leave before you're done. It works like Chrome mobile does, but just takes that one extra…

Same here. I love Chrome on desktop and wouldn't have even considered switching on Android except that it got so sluggish. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus, running AOKP and overclocked so I'm sure it's not a processing power issue.

Might not be something everyone needs, but the ultimate nzb app is NZB360. You can control your Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, Couchpotato, Headphones, and search for nzbs from any usenet indexer that is built on newsnab. It's relatively new and the developer is constantly tweaking, adding features, and responding to support…

As alluded to in another comment, the DIY spirit really takes over when it becomes your place. However, I'll take it one step further and say that fixing or repairing things really is a great DIY attitude to have because it can be further applied the next time the same, or similar, maintenance is required.

Wow, I must be a horrible client then. My wife is in the Air Force and we've been PCS'd twice. The first time we had next to nothing and were dirt poor anyway. It took them about 4 hours to pack us up and another hour to load everything. The only hard part was driving from CT to GA.
