I do agree that the boasting is kinda ridiculous, and I know people DO actually in-your-face it to teachers. For me it's more the fact that I /do/ hang out with other geeks and nerds who actively go "What??? HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE MATH??? MATH IS AWESOME!!!" and Randall/XKCD are kinda part of those crowd. And to THEM I…

A few months ago she emailed me saying she was up hacking her Kindle Fire all night so she called in sick to work. How cool is THAT.

I am so proud of her. She rooted a kindle fire ON HER OWN, and the best part? She did it on someone ELSE'S Fire before she did her own!

Perhaps. But see, I didn't have UNIX admin skills, or photography skills. I was interested in those things so I learned them. Myself.

Hehe. I will admit to occasionally not getting it. But most the time XKCD is just plain ol' geekery, or math I can get the jokes about.

I do suck at math.

I completely disagree with XKCD for once.

*clicky click* got one.

So... he's probably looking for someone to take over, continue his work and preserve his legacy, right? Right?

I can personally attest to this. Living in Minnesota, I have easily exceeded that number in two days. After that you just stop caring. Or you shoot yourself. Either way - problem solved.

I'm replaying ME3. I wasn't 100% happy with how decisions I made in ME2 turned out in 3, so I redid ME2, and am now redoing ME3 so things end up the way I want them to.

Hey, I actually LIKE Best Buy. Seriously. I liked CompUSA and Circuit City, too. That 50" TV I have? I got it at Best Buy after much research. I like to be able to LOOK at things - especially TVs - before I buy them. I know Best Buy are having problems and closing a lot of shops, and I'm glad that they're not closing…

I know enough women who actually use their bra as a cellphone holster anyway. However, the location of the cellphone with THIS particular idea seems to me to be extremely inconvenient, since most people I know actually like to be able to easily access their phone.

Ok, I needed my TV mounted on the wall. All I needed was my TV mounted on the wall. I didn't want to do it myself since it's a big TV and weighs a ton, plus I wanted it to be someone else's fault if it falls off.

They should pay people who know what they're doing and don't overcharge them for completely unnecessary services. Geek Squad are the modern equivalent of the mechanic who tells you your headlight fluid is low.

"Paying Geek Squad for Computer Maintenance" should read "Paying Geek Squad". I'm just saying. If you DO want to deal with them, though, go to SEVERAL stores and talk to SEVERAL people. Because not only do they not know what THEY'RE talking about, they definitely don't know what YOU'RE talking about.

I tried a couple of pairs of Fivefingers. One had no cushioning at all (I need a bit of cushioning). The other was fine in that department... but both of them, ironically, REALLY made my toes hurt like mad. I tried them for like 2 months (running almost daily, between 2-3 miles) and my feet never adjusted to them. I…

Actually if you don't want to gamble, deliver it yourself. USPS, UPS, Fedex, DHL, whatever, they all can - and do - screw up on occasion. But all of them do just fine the vast majority of the time.

Bluetooth uses a wavelength that can't penetrate the human body. It's not a big deal inside a house, since bluetooth has a bunch of walls to bounce off. But if you're outdoors, you need to make sure your phone has line-of-sight to your headset or other bluetooth device.
