@GizmodoBansAreForever: Agreed.

@Jeffrey McManus: Good post/article, Jeff.

@GreasyPig: This reminds me of the old Casio G-Shock watch commercials where a hockey pro takes a slap-shot using the watch as a puck.

I actually sized down this image before uploading and the blog made it huge. Sorry :/

@torein: It seems like when people are actually trying to remember or think, they look up. If they are trying to lie or pretend like they're remembering/thinking they look down.

Speaking of untucked shirts, if you notice your shirt coming out from the front of your pants, instead of unbuckling your belt and retucking, simply unzip your fly and pull the shirt down.

@dre-x: Yeah, this is a big one for me also. It seems rare when people actually use this one correctly.

@septentriones: I can't really think of one program that will do a good job in measuring every aspect of your system. Everest comes close but it's not free. I think you would have better results breaking down your benchmark utilities into individual categories like graphics/cpu (e.g. 3dMark Vantage), disk…

@Justin B: I know my non-raid'd SSD's are waaay faster than my old raid 0 setup (10krpm traditional spindle drives), but then again I have an all new system too so I can't make a direct comparison. The thing about putting SSD's in a RAID configuration is that you cannot utilize TRIM if the drives are RAID'd which…

Everyone has their own standard and tools for stability testing. Intel Burn Test (a.k.a. Linpack testing) is great for people who are too impatient to run 12 hours of Prime. I usually just do 20 IBT passes at standard (which only takes a few minutes) and call it good, ymmv. Just make sure you watch your temps. …

Cortizone cream for me.

"From then on, you can plan a course of action that involves doing some cleaning if necessary, potentially upgrading your BIOS"

@medopal the vuvuzela: There is a big chunk of airspace that is restricted when the shuttle is launching. If there is any aircraft in the airspace, the shuttle will wait until the airspace is clear. Rest assured that the skydive plane and the divers were far away from the launch. I have a low enroute chart from…

Actually, this sort of coincides with the most recent episode of Penn and Teller's show "Bullshit." They were talking about the stigma of fast food. For example, they took different ingredients from KFC and turned it into a soup and served it to test subjects calling it "Chicken Bisque." For the most part, people…

If you're having issues with eyestrain and computer monitor-related headaches. I -highly- recommend glasses from [www.gunnars.com] They have been featured several times on Gizmodo and for me they have eliminated the headaches I used to get from staring at the monitor. FWIW, I swear by them.

@pgk2008: I think you mean Javascript.

@SpudDude: I shot some milk through my nose reading that.

I understand this is a DIY non-toxic sort of thing but unless you have curious pets or children, I can't see any reason not to use those Raid ant baits. They work perfectly for me every year and it takes less than a few minutes to unbox and set them at the strategic points in my house. After that, I don't have to…

I would like to get my hands on the drugs it takes to make this seem like a good idea.

If you're on certain international flights, you will be flagged as a possible drug mule if you don't eat your meals.
