This was a few years back, but I did my undergrad in 3 years and masters in 2, all in a row. After the 4th year, they started asking me to send proof of enrollment. I was able to get Prime for students for all 5 years, but needed to send proof of enrollment every few months after the first 4 years. I assume it’s still…

I have one tip for when you have too much to do:

No one is going to click on the link if the price is mentioned in the article. The whole point is to get people to click on the link.

Well, sure, of course. But, since you will be sharing all benefits and payments with the other adult (I am still not sure what is actually optional and what they let you choose to share), at that point, the password is just an arbitrary barrier.

I don’t know if Amazon realizes this, but at this point, it’s way easier and better to just go ahead and share your password with your family. “My friend” has been doing this for years, and everyone in her family has access to all of the Amazon services. Just saying...

As an inventor, do not ever, under any circumstances, search for patents. That should not concern you. As part of getting a patent, you are required to list any patented inventions you are aware of that conflict with your patent in any way. The key words here are “aware of” — the more you know, the more you are…

Why are you holding the phone up to your ear? That would make it really hard to use the touch screen. Try holding it a couple of feet away from your face, so you can see what you are clicking and read all the text.

From my experience in hiring, I would tell you no. There is always an interview, often 2 interviews. However, from my experience being hired, yes, it is possible to get hired without an interview (or even paperwork).

IKEA has really great LED bulb 2-packs for $7 (regular price). If there's one near you, I highly encourage picking some up.

I made this app a while back for this reason specifically: http://www.kirilv.com/JulianDate/

Your phone will draw only as much power as it can. For example, if a phone's max charge rate is 1200mAh (pretty standard for Android phones), and you use a charger with an output of 2000mAh, your phone will still only draw 1200mAh. If you charge it with a charger that can output 1000mAh, it will only draw that and…

Not necessarily write and compile, but you can definitely run native code in Chrome. There's NaCl and pNaCl (the portable kind that runs on Chromebooks), but those are still a little wonky, and as far as I remember, they are really only used for Chrome Packaged Apps. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also look…

I have an HP tm2, which has a WACOM digitizer screen already. What kind of controller would I need to look for that will drive the monitor and digitizer?

Insurance companies require that a hospital (or anyone) charge you a minimum amount if you use your insurance. If you do not present your insurance card, places will charge you the actual price that they charge for that medicine, and sometimes, that price is indeed lower than the insurance-required minimum.

Most (I won't say all) toilets have an adjustable screw (or similar mechanism) to adjust how much water fills the tank, so bricks are unnecessary. To be completely honest, I have no idea where I would even get a brick. Hardware store, maybe?

Why not just ask?

Hmm... self-induced lag? I'd rather not.

Is it bad that the first thing I thought of when seeing this picture was "someone's been using ArcMap"?

Just so everyone is aware: disabling zoom is done through a "meta tag", and it is a common design pattern for mobile sites. It is actually necessary, a lot of the time, to make everything work properly on phones. Web developers expect this "meta tag" to remain intact on their sites. This JavaScript bookmarklet…

There needs to be a huge giant conditional in there. Local channels are supposed to be free and available to everyone, but they are not. I live too far away to catch any local TV without a really powerful rooftop antenna, and I rent, so I can't actually install one. Now, I don't live in a rural area by any means, so I…
