I have two 1999 Honda Accords, one I've had for about 8 years and the other I bought last summer. My daughter drives the former and it has 350,000 miles on it and my car has about 145,000 on it. Before I turned the car over to my daughter, I had it serviced and checked out by my mechanic and I asked him about the…

What I want is consistency and consistently good treatment. Some places, you know to expect little (WalMart, most convenience stores, fast-food joints, etc.) and other place you can reasonably expect better treatment (hotels, better restaurants, etc.) Just don't surprise me to the downside and I will hang in.

I just got an Android phone and saw an AVG anti-malware app and downloaded it. Anybody know if it's any good? I assumed that since it was AVG, it would be. Or is Lookout better?

A quick, clean recovery is a prime reason for using the cloud. Google's army of engineers can do it faster and better than most of us could.

Don't see the fallacy. Even a bad actor in the assessments would eventually be overtaken by the good actors. I suppose somebody could game the system with a bot or something, but in the end, nothing is dead accurate or perfectly secure.

My online bank (ING) pushes Trusteer. Trusteer has you identify a particular site then remembers it so that you know that you are on the right site and not a fake one. Seems to work pretty well, so far.

Very. Crowd-sourced assessments of thousands of sites.

That's how I do it, with the small bowl in the water. That, and the vinegar, are key. I used to go heavy on the vinegar, but get better results with just a splash of it.

Floss, brush, tongue scraper, in that order. That is all. Oh, drink lots of water.

That it is easy to get past the TSA agents and scanners at the airport, whether it is in Texas or not.

I've been using a Chrome extension called Vanilla that works very well. You can whitelist sites you want to support (Lifehacker!) and any other cookies that you pick up, Vanilla deletes after 30 minutes. Been very pleased with it so far: [chrome.google.com]

This statement: "...Carter formed the Department of Energy to oversee energy-related policy...". How's that working out?

Pros—cheap, fast (once you're in the chair), manly. They clean up a neck better than stylists. Dirty magazines.

Google "site:lifehacker.com "your search term" . Has always worked better than LH's native search function. Leave the quotation marks out.

Kodak printers FTW! Black cartridge for $9.95, color for $14.95. Excellent quality and decent yield. Only real problem is that the color is one of those multi-color cartridges so that when you run out of say, blue, but have plenty of red, tough. Get a new cartridge. Just a really good AIO printer. Scan quality…

I used to use 123injets.com and got excellent service.

Kind of surprised that OS X seems to get most of the complaints here. Thought it was magical.

Thanks for this article. Doesn't seem evil at all. I am a big Google user and have always taken the view that if they are going to give everything away at no cost, then I am willing to trade some info for the marvelous tools they offer. Seems a fair trade, at least with Brin and Page there. Now, when the next…
