I am always amazed people don’t already understand this very basic fact. It’s simple supply and demand. Yet whenever housing gets in high demand (more demand than supply), prices go up (basic supply and demand), and people start whining about rent control and other idiotic government mandated solutions. Which is…

Good points for non-techs to consider! I actually wrote a quick essay on Medium.com some time ago similar to this, called it “Five Rules for Dealing with Computer Techs.” https://medium.com/@mnmltek/five-…

Wes,

Thanks for the coverage and story telling in a Ranger-like fashion. I'm sure a few of your followers will have questions about IS, but we'll just say it's one step at a time. We started in Afghanistan in 2012, now we're in five countries. Give it time. When an opportunity to make cool products in dangerous…

The day I found a mint condition Fluke multimeter in a pawn shop for $50 ranks among the best days of my entire life.

Or at the very least, at "hot" detector:

Always disappointed when these infographics don't include the so-called "fallacy fallacy." That is, "because you used a logical fallacy, your conclusion is incorrect."

Yeah, that was my big complaint. I know it's a little petty thing but when Win8 wouldn't let me change the background of the Metro UI window I was like: Hmm, this doesn't bode well.

Proper theme support is so needed. I wanted to make my taskbar opaque the other day and it is so incredibly difficult to do so that I just gave up.

The "gig line" is a military term for the alignment between the buttons on a button-down shirt, your belt buckle, and the button/zipper line on your pants. Essentially, it's the line created by your button-down shirt all the way down the fly of your pants. If you've ever worn a uniform, you probably remember being…

I'm an American Indian and the bison is the traditional source of the good things that support us: food, blankets, clothing, tools, weapons, etc. The great Creator balanced our world with us humans as predators and the bison as prey. The bison brother was given to us to provide food, clothing, and shelter, as well as…

Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V are the ones I use the most. Everyone Ctrl + V then reply if you dare.

My least favorite is "No offense...but...".

Most things that encourage you to "like" them are just scams anyway, people wanting to build up a bunch of likes on a page so they can sell it to advertisers.

I still remember the horror I felt when I first learned that developers were judged (bonus-wise) by publishers based on metacritic scores. I personally think that's asinine. Sales figures would be a more acceptable benchmark because the consumers are actually "voting" with their money. Metacritic scores are based…
