My reason for not using Parallels any longer was their annoying popup-ads (even though you have a purchased copy) to buy antivirus etc. The check-box did not stop it from recurring. I just don't like it; but fortunately I have choices... some people may actually like this, and also don't mind that it is slightly…

Na, I understand the reason for contrived acronyms.

Before I used apps like these I HAD to recharge my phone every night. Then using some clever Tasker scripts I could get 4-5 days on a single charge on my standard GNex battery. Enough for a week-end away.

Even Tasker can no longer control cellphone radios... alas.

Don't you just love contrived acronyms.

This was basically my experience... having wasted a few hours of my life on FreeNAS I'm happy to go on with my life not ever having to babysit the Synology. Sure if I was unemployed, perhaps FreeNAS would make sense... but as it is it has saved me the time and money (not to mention it being so silent, and my DS212 is…

Having managed unix machines for some time in my career I found FreeNAS to be pitiful... I had to babysit it constantly... not to mention it being loud, power-hungry and not as flexible. I've since tried a few other NASes, and if you just want to save time and aggravation, the few $100 is well worth it. I'm not longer…

VOTE: Synology DS212/DS212j/DS212+ (pick your favorite) (DX712 is also good... just too much for me)

I've had a few NASes, but it was not until I had a Synology that I really understood how useful and good it is. I've used Buffalo and even set up a FreeNAS. If you want trivial config, allways-working NAS with incredible features... don't bother with anything else.

Yes, Synology DX 513 :

VOTE: Synology DS212

They can be omitted to save space, as a device for humorous effect and to create confusion.

I love my Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP ... a few years old now, but so worth it... and it keeps surprising me (all good).

Lastpass now has a service in which it will monitor all these leaked passwords and cross-match it to all of yours (I think it is a manual process perhaps since they won't have access to your actual passwords) and notify you if you may need to change any.

I would pick up a penny, mainly because I've seen it and it will eat away at the edges of my consciousness. But if I think about it, the time I spent looking at it to see what it is and stopping for a sec is long enough for me to pick it up to avoid it happening again.

Which is why Kasparov's chess match against the 'world' was stupid. I've always said that there is nothing as powerful as mass stupidity.

You mean apart from Nexus? Personally I won't even consider a non-Nexus tablet these days except for real need. Motorolla was good with updates in retrospect, but Samsung has been terrible for me...

ESET NOD32 Was great in this regard. The best. It was also pretty darn good at zero day exploits... which made it my paid for AV for many gaming/LAN years. Now I don't need it much anymore, and use MS's own AV. I would not touch Norton or Symantec... ever.

I guess it is simple for me... my wife and I have been inseparable for almost a decade now. I don't see that changing, but I guess you might be embarrassed if you had to change it because you were dumped or something. So rather not list it. I know I would have been (if Facebook was around when I dated)
