A 24 hour passive system is better than an hour active system that requires your attention. An hour of hunting while your water supply is also going doubles your effort and what you can achieve.

"Most stud finders are inconsistent at best." — I don't mean this on a personal level, but bullshit. The only thing inconsistent about most stud finders is the user and the wall. Well, you can change your bad habits and you can guesstimate a little bit about the wall. With those two things you can make just…

V2.0 needs to take a cassette tape stereo adapter (the kind you'd use with a car cassette tape deck and a mp3 player) and hook the audio connector to a y splitter and hook that to the external headphone jack AND the electromagnetic head on the tape player, so you could play the MP3s in a cassette player or with…

Pinball is still a trap. It's just so much fun.

A good leader sees a pattern and exploits the pattern. The pattern here is that everyone really does care but they don't want to step on anyone else's toes and really all it takes to get everyone to chime in with their feedback is to start off the suggestions. So, instead of playing into the game, bypass all the…

Here is a surefire way to get the "What do you want for dinner settled"

Samsung 840 EVO, 840 Pro or Intel's 530 or 540 or bust. I just replaced an OCZ drive that suddenly failed. The drive was hardly ever written to. It was just on. It wasn't being thrashed. The system started blue-screening with a really cryptic error message. Turned out that the drive was failing. The blue…

It's probably just a way to save you from having to put about 75% of the air in there. The last 25% of the air you could do by lung power and really save yourself a lot of work. It's only difficult when the mattress becomes pressurized.

eBooks that are cheaper than their dead-tree counterparts are better. eBooks that are nearly as expensive (or more) than their paper equivalent are ridiculous. If you save all the material, handling and shipping of a physical product, then it should in fact be cheaper than the physical product.

Let me be the first to say: Pics or it didn't happen. (I kid, I kid.)

The FIRST thing someone with Social Anxiety of any kind needs to do is this: Decide if you are going to let your feelings and fear get in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes that answer may be: Yes. However, when you decide that you aren't going to be controlled by your fears in a social situation then you…

So is he playing: Smurf?

If I knew that this was all it would take to fix one of the biggest glaring errors of the not-so-new-but-still-crap comment system, I would have helped them post annoying gifs. (No, I wouldn't post rape ones, but I'm sure I could find something annoying enough that wouldn't be immoral.)

dang, and "one billion dollars" has such a nice ring to it too... I'd work really hard for a month and retire.

Are you aware of any companies that are more open to hiring remote testers that don't live in their same area? I live in the desert and it's going to be a while before I would be able to move. In the meantime, I've always loved the idea of testing games. I find myself reproducing bugs when I find them and reporting…

False Advertising is False Advertising is False Advertising and it should be treated as such. There is no field where I think it is "okay" or "acceptable" to have false advertising. Claims were made, now the company is being asked to back those claims up, legally. Is it a silly law suit? Sure, whatever. I bet…

having an interesting background is better than taking picture from a higher altitude above cup and getting a table...unless table is a work art itself.

It wasn't that widespread of a comic. It isn't because of the actor. The movie is like The Fifth Element but has special effects that are almost 20 years more advanced. The writing is clever / witty in an entertaining way. The actors seem like they actually had fun making the movie. It comes on the screen to…

Don't underestimate my powers of being able to beat a dead horse. (It's easy 'cause dead horses fight back a lot less than their living counterparts.)

In order to fill your Douchecanoe before usage (because: safety first), you have to pop open the Ring-Sausage and fill it up using a Douchenozzle. Have a nice trip up shit-creek. Don't forget a paddle.
