Ours are not the simplest taxes to do, we have been taking medical expense deductions and have 4 W-2's to enter, but doing ourselves is not too bad. The last few times we went to H&R Block to get our taxes done I realized that the screens they used looked exactly the same as the ones I had played with seeing what the…

Whoops, you are correct there. I misread a portion and thought it said video as well, but here is the section from the article: as long as your Android device is plugged in and Dormi is running, it'll listen and transmit audio

Just from reading the article, I would say that this app basically turns a phone into a webcam. So if you have a spare phone to leave lying around running this app, technically it could be used for these purposes, just the same as any webcam or spycam.

These tips make a lot of sense during the winter, but during the summer months (at least in Texas) it would probably burn out the A/C or at least jack up the electric bill like mad to try and keep the house below 65...

I just dealt with it for several years. I got pretty good at just bottling up the stress and then decompressing on the way home, but toward the end it was driving me to drink. I didn't want that, so the final step was to find a new job. Quitting is sometimes a luxury that not everyone can afford so my advice is to…

I've been keeping the heat lower this winter and we've used space heaters/electric blankets/wood fireplace when possible instead of heating the whole house. I probably need to do some maintenance as there are some drafts and be better about vampire drains, I just have not gotten the gumption to actually work on that…

Oops, I did not see that part of the paragraph. I promise to read a bit more carefully in the future, thanks for correcting me on that.

Let's make a few adjustments to these to make them more realistic for some of us. How about we add $100-$200 a month for medical bills, another $300 for a car payment, utilities vary (my electric bill jumps from $100 to $350 depending on the weather), no one has Internet listed (usually at least $50).

DUDE! Put me down for a copy of the PC version. This looks freaking awesome. Of course, I suck at teamwork so I would do best as the big beastie. Hopefully you can swap around the roles, I am sure it would get boring for the medic after a while...

Yeah, but that requires much more effort than just starting the car and letting it warm up </sarcasm>

I do like the vinegar solution to keep it from frosting, I am just too lazy to actually use it most of the time... Maybe I should invest in some de-icing washer fluid instead. Good call.

Thank you for posting these tips. Here in Texas we have a lot of people who are not used to driving on icy roads, and so it increases the risks. I lost track of the number of people I saw braking or trying to accelerate on an icy patch and start to lose control. If you just take your foot off all the pedals and let…

I work as tech support for several banks and we started getting calls from the banks this morning about them getting notification about the leaked cards. One of our banks had about 200 users affected, another had over 500. This is going to be a major headache for our banks. I can only imagine what the larger…

Not really a button, but what about the Oil Pressure gauge on the dash of a lot of vehicles? Unless you do some after-market mods, that gauge is useless until you drop down to basically less than a quart of oil in the vehicle, at which point there are usually several other indications that there is an issue. Annoyed…

How about the android fragmentation. With Android phones, if you want the latest and greatest version of the software you basically have no choice but to purchase a brand new phone. There are ways to root the phone and load the new software yourself, but the carrier and phone maker should make it available to phones…

My wife cooks almost every evening. Since it is just the 2 of us, that generally means that there are 2 servings of leftovers for the next day (now that I have cut back my portion size from fill the entire plate to a normal portion). Since she has already cooked the food, the leftovers are not exactly free but they…

Took a few seconds on the shark, the heart was easy.

Just jumped on this. Played the first one on PS3 but I do better with PC's for shooter-style games. This is by far the best deal I have found for BL2 and getting the DLC and BL1 GOTY just sealed the deal.
