I got in the Kickstarter/Indiego (I forget which) for the PowerPractical meter with fast charging cable. They currently have the cables on sale for $8.95.

Maybe, but then you lose the warranty, at the very least.

+2, actually.

Hmmmm. No!

Of course, this only works if you shop at the same store all the time.

I prefer inkjet, but that's because what I use it for, mostly printing source code, is in pretty print, and I like the colors. I could do with B&W I suppose. But now, I'm hooked. I've been thinking about color laser, but, when I see some of the costs...

Sadly, I have already downloaded all of these wallpapers previously.

Not really. I haven't done much for him since he went into the Army, especially with tech. He's just being lazy. A characteristic that seems to go with both the parents and the kids.

Uh-huh. Complete with a son that has his own phone and computer and everything. Nice trick if I could have done it.

Yeah. He's 28, he acts like he knows what he's doing with a computer, and so what I try to get across to him is that he needs to fix his own mistakes. Still. At his age. He's retired medically from the Army, one would think that I shouldn't have to impress him with that. Again. And that's really the reason why…

My complaint isn't that he did it, he's successfully done it before, borked his laptop, and then thought I should be the one to go through the waste of time to put it back to where he wanted it. I gave him a copy of Windows 7, he did everything, and he's been happy since. Although weirdly, I had to burn a DVD…

My idiot son is always on me to root his phone, install Touch Ubuntu on said phone, install Ubuntu as an alternative on his laptop, and other rather ridiculous ideas that I plain just don't do. He has rooted his phone before, but did something and had to start from scratch (Oh well!), but he wants me to do the second…

As to the house during the summer, it was heaven.

You know that they are coming days in advance, so you've got your water, your food, your gas in the car, gas in your generator if you have one, your propane or charcoal for the grill and pack your freezers with ice bags. You've cleared anything out of the yard that might become a missile, balls, chairs, tables,…

Not going to hurt the shingles that much,

I'm not sure that I'd use metal, let alone galvanized metal, to try and scrap snow off my roof.

Sdelete from Sysinternals for me. Also, I'm pretty sure that a disk defrag will pretty much help in making sure you can't recover stuff, especially on a hard drive. And that happens every Wednesday morning if you let your system run.

Vote: Any scripting language (BASIC, PowerShell, Python, Ruby, VBScript, JavaScript)

I grabbed this on Kickstarter, and I'm quite happy with it.

I suspect that is a 2 TB drive, not 2 GB.
