You’re right, it does sound snarky. A lot of sites don’t understand good web design, and don’t put a link to their home page in an easy-to-find location. If I find myself on such a site, especially if I had followed a deep link, it would be nice to have a easy, consistent way to find their home page without resorting…

“I Began to See Rejection and Failure as Progress”

I love this idea, but unfortunately, the TV I am most likely to use is already mounted to the wall. I think that I will have to get a piece of acrylic and drill the holes myself to mount my Raspberry Pi off center.

When driving, I've noticed that if I answer my phone using the display, it starts in private mode, whereas if I use the button on my steering wheel, it starts up in Bluetooth mode.

"So true," I thought to myself as I looked at my living room curtains, which at one end barely touch the floor but have a good 1/2" clearance at the other.

Okay, I'm can no longer watch Arrow, at least until they get this guy a job as the stunt archer.

The Dish Network Hopper has a button labeled "Find Remote" on the front of the console. I only need it every three or four months, but at those times it has been a life saver.

What are you talking about? I've never had any problems with the customer service. I don't fault them for not wanting to make new software run on old equipment that they don't sell anymore, even if it is theoretically feasible. As for your middle item, to what are you referring?

Disney XD is almost the Marvel channel already. I'm sure that as various contracts expire, Star Wars will also land there.

Dish Network, which sort of owns Sling, just concluded a big renegotiation with Turner Broadcasting (owner of almost everybody on the list except for Disney/ESPN) which featured many of the channels going dark for a couple of weeks. I have to wonder if this was part of the negotiations?

OTOH, it would be just as applicable a minute before Deep Impact hits. And I'm not going to watch it. Spoilers.

My son and I watched the entire game (except for the Citrus Bowl between periods, sorry Billy). Great game in every respect. I do agree that they should get rid of the other stadium games in favor of just this one.

But can I convert all distances into smoots?

Anyone who is in line for the throne has to spend time in the military, to be a believable commander-in-chief. And it's not a rubber-stamp, although I expect that there's more coaching available than the average grunt ever sees.

I make mine with hash oil, man!

sunscreen and condoms, huh? I guess that explains this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L_dnmt…

When my (work issued) iPhone 6 arrived in the mail, I took it out of the box and said, "I need to go to the store to buy a case". I wasn't too worried, though, because this was my third iPhone and (unlike some of my coworkers) I had never broken one in all the preceding years. I then dropped it in the kitchen on the…

I use different types of text files for different things. Generally I use markdown, which I can then turn into html and pipe into various other tools if I need analysis. (Is there a todo.txt-to-HTML converter somewhere?) If I have structured data, I'll create a JSON file, even if I don't intend to use it somewhere,…

Commercial switches generally have a mode where all traffic on the switch is copied to a particular port. Unfortunately, home equipment probably doesn't have that. Heck, I was amazed and disappointed to discover that my ISP's modem+switch combo didn't support SNMP.

In that case, you should never order St. Louis style pizza.
