I hope you don't mean to suggest that you should put money in the jar and then use it as a vehicular urinal...

Walking is more efficient, that's why most people would find it much easier to walk a marathon than run it. Running may be faster, but it wastes a good deal of energy through unproductive movement.

Walking will still come up short by quite a bit since it's more efficient than running (hence why Dr. Williams suggested you would need to walk 1.5x as far).

I know, that's the sad part, the "average" American household would be over 1k short still.

I think they're testing the gene loci for those, not just giving you info based on your ethnicity. The method they use certainly has the capability to do so.

Hey Ashton, some thoughts regarding your specific problems. Starcraft II tends to be fairly CPU heavy, and doesn't particularly like AMD CPUs (not that you can't run it on AMD, but it won't perform as well, this is coming from and AMD fan). I'm not familiar enough with the differences introduced in HOTS to know why…

No problem, I'm glad it helped. Sometimes those types of forums can be hit-or-miss, but it can be in the phrasing of the problem as well. Hopefully you'll end up with good advice here at Lifehacker.

An additional comment regarding benchmarks (3DMark etc.). While they are useful for standardized comparisons of hardware, what you care about is gaming performance, not 3DMark (or other benchmark) performance. What you want to pay attention to most is what you'll be doing most, and I think it's safe to assume you…

The problem: His computer doesn't perform as well as he'd like for gaming, but his budget for upgrading is limited.

Use the guide linked below to set up MSI afterburner's overlay to display pretty much any performance info you need. Then simply play as usual, while paying attention to your usage and you'll start to get an idea of what's getting hit hard (is your RAM full? Is your GPU/CPU being used highly?).

It doesn't come across with the comment system, but I was replying to his second comment, not the first. I have no problem with pointing out the mistake, but don't act like you'd never make any.

Yeah, I'm sure you've never in your life missed a typo (if so, you haven't written much). It happens, get over it. If every Lifehacker piece were littered with misspellings and incorrect grammar, it would be a problem, but a single typo on a single article doesn't mean the writer & editor are incompetent.

Not really a re-post, he wrote his own blurb, but yeah. Pretty fail.

It doesn't actually use the "lock" part, just the cable.

I just go for the "eat as fast as humanly possible so you don't lose anything" technique. Extra bonus- you can eat more burritos in less time!

If this actually worked, our political system might actually be productive.

In the spirit of the recent Mac/Windows flame war, how about this:

Doesn't seem like this would be very nice in Seattle, considering it adds humidity to the air while cooling.

The only time I had a key for these locks was when I lived in a house that was just re-built. Interestingly enough, the "keys" were basically no different than a straightened paper clip (except they had a little loop on the end rather than the remainder of a paper clip).
