One of the problems, depending on your local climate, with always thinking higher SEER ratings is better, is humidity control.

No no no no. Do **not** follow this advice. The minimum temperature for your water heater should be 60 degrees Celsius or 140 Fahrenheit. Anything lower than that will be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Whatever computer screen you have that can not only exceed its maximum brightness to the point of ocular impressions but also interpret additional data from a YouTube video to do so? I want it. I will fax you all the dollars to buy it.

That’s not how it works.

Srsly. Maybe there’s another possible answer with a different line of reasoning, but unless there are enough restrictions on the puzzle to rule out 6, then 6 is an answer. And if I’m supposed to use the numbers that I see and pattern recognition to solve the puzzle, then all clues point to 6.

Happy now?

This. Given the very limited information given (and the demonstrated variation in manual-gearshift patterns), 6 is a perfectly rational answer. Unless the riddle is basically “what is the 2nd-best answer to this diagram, assuming the best answer is 6”. But from the article, I don’t get the impression that “not 6” is…

I know you said the answer was not 6. But I’m pretty sure it’s actually 6.

You want to be able to control automatic updates, that is a feature of the Pro version.

So pay the extra and get the Pro version, which is clearly meant for people like you?

Just get the pro version since you’re clearly not a typical home user.

The thing is, for the most part it’s a security and compliance nightmare to let most “consumer-level” users fend for themselves like that. Honestly, the world is better off forcing updates on home users.

Have you ever considered that users like you are exactly why MS is forcing mandatory security updates?

Forcing, because most home users do not update thus leaving their OS wide open and insecure thus contributing to the ever growing problems of compromised systems, bot nets and so on. Also i am sure this is a way to stop piracy for people who bought systems with illegal OS installs.

Every computer i have ever fixed was…

They’re not charging for them. They’re already free in the Microsoft store. You just have to download the updated versions as opposed to the older versions that came with Windows 7

Would you prefer to drive on slick glass, or have something that gives you shade and protection from rain? Also, you could place the panels on the side of the road so you could still feel the wind in your hair and save the environment.

If you’re going to install 7 on the new hard drive, I can almost guarantee you’ll be fine. Why wouldn’t Windows see the new drive?

While driving too slow in traffic can be a hazard, the general concept of “going with the flow” of traffic isn’t going to get you out of a speeding ticket.

There's a cult around Ramsey, to be sure. I think it's the religious aspect of his teachings. Once you know and accept that his advice is for people who aren't that financial sophisticated and/or disciplined, it's pretty good advice. The whole debt snowball thing isn't perfectly financially efficient, since you might…

"You're getting a tax break: Anderson explains that someone in the 25 percent tax bracket who has $20,000 in mortgage interest will get a $5000 tax deduction on the interest. This might even be more, depending on the state. So if you're getting a tax break, it might also make more sense to keep your mortgage than to…
