I like the snowball mic that I have used in the past. Recently I have not been recording at my computer.

I think this isn't a bad map, but I disagree with quite a few of the connections from an influencing point.

Some private schools raise their tuition and then raise their scholarship money to match. So then they can claim people get X dollars of scholarship.

Anyone know if you swipe a card away on the desktop does it go away on the phone as well? Or swipe away on the phone does it go away on the desktop? Thought some of you beta users might know.

Thanks for the reply. I was more or less thinking about how a couple of people could drastically overstate or understate their bill might throw off the graphs.

So Bill-Snooper is a bad name since the user is entering the data and not being verified, Bill-Sharer would probably be better. I was hoping for something not based on user input.

Carbonite throttles after so much data has been uploaded to their servers. That is one of the reasons that I went with CrashPlan over Carbonite. CrashPlan also offers a free year of single computer coverage if you are a Carbonite switcher. The last reason that I liked CrashPlan is I thought they had a better…

Rocksmith is fun, but it lacks a little in the teaching. It does help you learn how to switch frets, but not what the notes are. Nor does it help with technique.

Camtasia for Windows is not that expensive. I find that I use it more than I ever thought I would after getting a license.

Well Crashplan has an option to use your own key, but they also can't help you if you lose that key.

It all depends on how much data you have to backup / restore. The computer in question was not my data hog, so I remember starting it around 6pm 1 night and it was finished by the time I got home from work the next day. But it was probably less than 100GB to restore.

I had no trouble restoring all of my data recently from CrashPlan after a hard drive failure.

Hope they are able to fix the bug that some people are having with opening the new format on Android phones.

Why not use TrueCrypt and just encrypt the folder in your Dropbox/Copy/Box folder directly? That way you don't have two copies on your computer.

The thing I dislike about Word's citation manager is that it is tied to the machine you are using. I have since started using Mendeley to manage my references and it has a great Word plugin.

I think it is more the not being afraid than lazy. Or at least with the people that I have seen using it poorly.

You can also control exactly what hidden characters are revealed by going to File > Options > Display and selecting items in the Always show these formatting marks on the screen section.

I agree that purchasing the cheapest tech item is not always a good idea. But I always warn people about paying for a brand name.
