You can blame the cable companies if you like, but this move ultimately comes from big-money content producers who are requiring the cable companies to encrypt their channels to begin with. This move won't win me back to cable or satellite TV, I cut that cord two years ago. I see no need to pay for useless…

Unless you like watching a lot (and I mean A LOT) of religious programming, there's no decent C-Band programming out there that you can watch without paying a significant subscription fee (and with even less content than cable). Your satellite dish will not work as a TV antenna, either. It's not surface area that…

I bought it at Radio Shack about 5 years ago. Next time I remember I'll try to look up the number.

It's not a lie they had to tell. The companies tell the credit reporting agencies what they do and do not want reported. I once had a debt with AT&T that was incurred because my mother defaulted on a bill that she paid, on a line that I opened under my name for her. My mother later declared bankruptcy and had the…

If your wallet is already lost or stolen, they already have your address, unless you don't keep any personal ID in your wallet. How many people do that? If they're intent on robbing your home as well (and, again, how many criminals ALSO do that?) they're probably not going to be worried about whether or not they can…

"This is a lot quicker and less annoying than it sounds."

When I was 18, and in high school (1994) I purchased my first computer. It was an ancient 286 that I named "Godzilla" because it was a huge cube, the case was a good 1/2" thick metal and it had to have weighed at least 50 pounds. No math co-processor, might have had 1 MB of RAM in it, and I can't remember if the HDD…

USPS should just do it anyway. Seriously, what's Congress going to do, fire them? Oh, I know, they'll levy a fine! WOOHOO! Yeah, that works for a company that is billions in debt already! Oh, oh, wait, even better, CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES WILL START WORKING THOSE SATURDAY HOURS! BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Man, that's too much work for me. I'm happy enough with slapping my S3 into an FM transmitter and plugging that into the axillary power adapter. I've also got a dedicated DC-powered MP3 player that I bought a few years back for $15, but the player and controls aren't as nice as my smartphone.

I've had them work in a couple of cheap cellphones before, but this was several years ago. It's seriously been years since I've actually had a phone which itself had poor reception issues. Typically these days reception issues are because of objects interfering with the signal, or issues from the tower or carrier.

It has nothing to do with being an underpaid or bratty front desk clerk. It has absolutely everything to do with scarcity of resources. Hotels typically don't have a billion mini fridges sitting around. They'll have some rooms which have them exclusively (for an upcharge), and they'll have a small cache of them in…

Between Google and Facebook, I'm not sure which I despise more for constantly "improving" things.

It was sponsored by the owners of the Dallas Morning News and their subsidiaries, sent via mail, and offered through Radio Shack for free. Radio Shack had to limit distribution because so many people wiped them out. That was before it was discovered that Cuecat was going to use the product for data mining, and started…

So, here's a question: what does EaseUS get out of sponsoring these free registrations for a paid product?

Contact the last state where you think a title might have been issued at one point, and have them search for it based on the VIN. If they can locate it, then have them issue a replacement title.

Is Gawker trolling us? Suggesting McDonald's isn't serving "real food"? This article is trash, and it's author is libelous.

Taste is subjective. I am an excellent cook, but I've never tasted a homemade Egg McMuffin that tasted better than McDonald's. They've come close, but not better. Also, as QueenGrey points out, McDonald's will deliver it faster, and provide all the ingredients, prep and clean-up.

You say the magic word "medication" and get a free mini fridge? I don't think so. At least those "magic words" never worked in my five years in working for several hotels. You call and ask me for a fridge for medication, and I tell you it's an extra $10, if we have one available. If you really needed one for…

Wow, I'm surprised nobody has yet to mention the CueCat. I admit, this was the most useless thing I ever hoped to have ever owned.
