In Missouri, they moved the tags to the center of the plate because people were clipping the corners off and gluing them on their own cars.

They never said he was paralyzed. He actually "hobbled" off the Romulan ship.

There's always a problem matching comics continuity to real time. The Doomsday storyline covers a period of about 6 hours after Doomsday starts his rampage.

I put together a RaspBMC for work. We use it to run a background video at our display/exhibit/booth. It works great for that, except that I wish the looping reload was a little faster. It's more convenient than a laptop, since it resides in the case with the display at all times.

Yep. Because, here in the Good Ol' U. S. of A., we don't start with an entreé . We start with an appetizer.

We bought a house this year. I had to clean the dryer duct because it was so clogged that I couldn't see from one end to the other. This made a major improvement to how well the dryer worked. I can't believe that people don't clean these things out.

I still try to use WP5.1 key strokes to format text, and I haven't used it in 15+ years. I'm pretty sure that typing habits learned early are the ones that stick around.

Another mistake that writers make is following the guidance of online writers without critical consideration of its applicability.

My problem with Matt's answer is that he talks about statistical significance related to a subjective experience.

From my experience, I'm sure that the loose leaf tea in my pot tastes better than the same tea in bags. Yes, it makes a difference.

They all have security issues, if you want to err on the conservative side. Boxcryptor helps.

Love the size. This size'd be great for stocking our camp kitchen.

I'm going RasPi, myself. I've got the board set up with the Raspbian distro. I've got Samba installed and it's connected to an external hard drive. What I'm working on is using it for off-site backup, as well.

The "Batman:Digital Justice" graphic novel would be a good place for a future-based series. Batman's long dead, and James Gordon, Commissioner Gordon's grandson, takes on the mantle of the Batman in a society that is dominated by technology. But Bruce, being the tactician that he is, left a legacy under Wayne Manor…

I just recently discovered that you can "fake" it, if your radio is potentially able to control a satellite radio or a CD changer.

It's the inaccuracy in the statement, not the assertion about security. Yeah, if it takes that long to go through all the possible combinations, you're pretty darned secure. But that doesn't mean it takes that long to crack the password.

Canola stands for "Canadian oil, low acid." It's made from rapeseed. But you can see how "rapeseed oil" isn't exactly marketable.

"Web site How Secure Is My Password? estimates it would take a desktop computer about a million years to crack, with a 4 billion calculations-per-second estimate."

There is significant audible difference between a CD and a 128kbps MP3. Audio equivalence is actually closer to 320kbps, although most people can't hear a difference above 256kbps.

Why is the lack of general android support "very strange, given that Amazon created its own Android-derived tablet"? They want potential Android users to pony up for the Kindle Fire, on which they do support Amazon Instant Video.
