Interesting analysis, but I quibble with your statement under the third category "In most places (but not all) this is illegal." Open carry of a handgun is fully legal in 20 states, and legal with a license in most others. See the wikipedia article on Open Carry in the United States. While there are several states…

While all of the information above is accurate, it's basically only useful for spotting people who are either uncomfortable with a weapon or who are carrying it improperly. Most quality holsters that are designed to be concealed are very difficult to spot, and the people using them are used to carrying, and won't…

26 hrs and zero issues so far. I have two teenage boys and 25 to 30 (!!) devices connected at any given time, so my router does some work.

I have the same router and just enabled IPV6. Will follow up if I encounter the same issue. I'm on TWC 30/5.

Please DO NOT install the 64-bit version. Liferhacker, please add a warning to your post. The ONLY real advantage over 32-bit office is that you can work with Excel and Project files larger than 2GB, if that is your requirement - go 64-bit office. In all other cases (that means pretty much everyone), please install…

Using the right connectors and crimping the pins makes it neater and many times indistinguishable from factory installed. From computers to Automotive and Motorcycles, Get the right tools and do it right the first time.

This is dorky, but it's definitely one of those tools I didn't really know I loved until I had one. My father got me one randomly as a gift when I mentioned I wanted to start doing more work on my own car a couple of years back, and since then, I've used it working on my car when I needed more light, or the sun was…

Most of my DIY is much more geeky and far less badass, so the one thing I always needed—but took to long to buy—was pretty much everything in this toolkit. Tiny screwdrivers, torx heads, little plastic prying things...everything you need for repairing (and destroying warranties on) phones, laptops, desktop PCs, and so…

Bullshit. Ramen is the cheapest substance in our economy. Making it cheaper breaks economics.

Maybe "snob" isn't the right word. Maybe "douchebag" is.

That's an advantage for developers.

I've been thinking about this. Maybe a little off-topic. So many of the ideas we are presented with, whether through LH or elsewhere, involve pursuing finer ways of doing things. Better coffee, better yogurt, better cheese, better music, better shaves.
