Not everyone is meant for college. Just like we need farmers as much as we need the next Computer Scientist, we all work together to make an even balance. I remember one professor telling us how everyone in College thinks they will be rich. College does not guarantee a good salary. Ask all of those marine biologists.…

Neat, but I wish it could interconnect and retrieve my bank account. Or, allow me to import the XLS, MS Money, or Quicken files my bank allows me to export. The reporting and metrics features service is nice, but seems like a pain to enter it all every time. I like writing over typing in my checkbook - but that's just…

This is much improved over my local County MLS listing site. At my County MLS site, you can see what houses are currently in closing, but cannot deselect that option. Yahoo only shows you active MLS listings... I found I would get excited over a listing and come to find out it was in closing.

How do you use this article's suggestion on filtering GIFs to exclude certain senders?

I actually built something like this last year for the Hurricane season. Works great. I bought two of those LED lights.. one for the tin and one for my keychain. Very useful.

Tip #102: Cut and do your own hair. I shave my head FOR FREE (if you

I love rsync! We used it through SSH for backing up a huge MySQL database onto an identical backup server for a VoIP company I used to work for a couple years ago. There was a script that ran through a cron job and updated the database every five minutes. The Linux machines were connected through a gigabit line. No…

I liked it for about a week. The screen is just so dang small and not good on the eyes. I got eye strain trying to read the text under the fluorescent lights at the airport. I guess if I really had to do it, I would, but I find that my iPaq works better.

This really doesn't answer your question, but here's some food for thought...

This is an excellent tip! Thanks, Lifehacker

I felt pressure on my sinuses when I played back the higher tones!

Will Vista even be finished in time for the coupons to be effective? I'm with the majority: XP SP2 is pretty stable. I think a lot of consumers are going to need a really good reason to upgrade. Regarding XP SP2, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

It is true that Credit Cards are not bad. It is the fact that most people don't use them appropriately, which leads them into trouble. People use credit cards to supplement income, which leads to disastrous results. I like how @Aanidaani put it: if it's not on my bank account, I don't spend it.

I remember the card peddlers that showed up at the Student Union Building and around campus during busy afternoon hours. They lured you with T-Shirts and other novelty items. I found in many cases that they would say that it is just an application for information and next thing I know I have three or four credit cards…

@Sam: I guess I always thought that was the way to do a budget!

Isn't this what a budget is anyways? I thought you appropriated your

Ok, here is my list. I have been around computers since I was 5 so you may see some oldies on here.

My Wife's grandmother recently passed away. My Wife's Aunt was always told that she would get everything and My Wife's Mom would get nothing. Well, when she passed away this past January, the Will stated that it all went 50/50. No matter what her intentions were, because she did not have the Will notorized and…

Using a trick similar to a previous mentioned Lifehack tip, I tend to put my keys in a drawer or weird place. Then when I'm getting ready to go out and my keys aren't where they are supposed to be, I ask myself, why I put them there and it triggers the thing I was supposed to remember.

Rather than tie up money for 3 years or more in a CD, I'd rather lend it out via Prosper.com. I know it can be more risky, but depending on how you play it, you can probably earn 2-3 times more money, with little risk. The key is to diversify it amongst many borrowers.
