So, in other words, ‘Stay home and drink more water’? Going to Appleby’s and not getting a steak and a beer is like going to the carnival and not riding the rides. Solidly defeats the purpose, don’t you think? (I was thinking ‘going to a bar, and not drinking’, but designated drivers DO have a place)

If I were only 30-years younger I would have proposed after reading this. Never forget the one fact, regardless of who says it, the way to a man’s heart IS through his stomach.

And thus, a moment of silence for all those who commented on these crappy hacks, and their comments were still not allowed by the editor.

A better place to ensure you are getting the most updated maps (and where Nat Geo gets their database from) is the USGS website itself. The downloads are free (while their printed maps are not). They are the same maps you pay $12-$15 for in the sporting stores nationwide.

I’m interested in testing their ‘theory’ when they ‘go-live’ with it, being as I took the domains of the three most popular ‘blockers’ and simply imported them into my firewall (back-up blocking, as it were). I highly doubt I’ll see FB pages any differently than I already do - a lot of white space, and no ads. I mean,…

A hardware and software firewall, Anti-malware and cookie software, ghostery and a few other components, and a registry of ‘always block’ sites in my router, and I STILL get trash on public websites I go to. It’s like looking through Publishers Clearinghouse dailies for world news that’s relevant. No one will EVER do…

Linksys, in my 30-years of router experience, have consistently been ‘the pretty routers that don’t work well, or survive long’. I’ve read tons of reviews from other users about how well they work, how great they are, but every single one I’ve ever purchased has died horribly within the first 2-years, and connectivity…

It was only a matter of time until some ‘mega-provider’ cracked down on what the FCC would not. While it is in the FCC’s ‘best interest’ to not be ‘too harsh’ on spam callers (more universe to rule over is more power for the bureaucracy); it is ‘wasteful resource consumption’ for freeloading spammers to ride along on…

Actually, with a 3.5mm headphone jack on the turntable (which is really all you need), you can plug in a simple FM Transmitter-Transceiver (like ASIN: B017LUBO1U ‘FM Transceiver by Geartist’, for $25). Then, just pair the Bluetooth Transceiver to your XXX (fill in the blank here, but I use mine for Audacity input to…

Ok, now to go up in the attic and dig out all the pieces to that old 8-inch telescope...huge box, big spiders, few mice...but hey, a cool project is a cool project. I haven’t seen the eyepieces for it since 1998, but oh well...gotta be in there somewhere!

Lots of comments below beg the question, ‘if you are worried a lot about integration to MicroJunk Windows, then why are you using Linux? If you MUST integrate for work’s sake, then have a cheap PC at home to solely run Windows on. The stability trouble you often have is caused by trying to run dual systems…

I’ve got a full set of Vollrath induction pans (about $475), but as for skillets, griddles and muffin-type trays, I will still only use one brand - Lodge Cast Iron. There is, at no price, a substitute for Cast Iron.

Nice little display. Of course, the ‘guts’ to put this into full-time use at your home, and even be a ‘live weather center’ for your area takes a bit of ‘kit’. Since I like the RPi (over the Arduino), here’s some Amazon kit numbers to build it like you want it:

I find it interesting how these fighters referenced, have chosen to stand against the ‘mainstream’, which our ‘mainstream’ world is not only ‘liberal-progressive’, but that this very root-structure is based on Eugenics, Discrimination (primarily against the poor, destitute, mentally-challenged, and non-white ethnics),…

Actually, one of the biggest things I have found that absolutely CRUSH video performance is many of the cookies, trackers, and various (read: nefarious) bits of unwelcome code lurking on your system. While ‘reinstall’ is the famous battle cry, a much-better solution is to control ‘blocked-sites’ on your router.…

Normally, I’m all for the ‘what can we throw an RPi (or Arduino) at’, but when the alternative is to add a DPDT switch (for $1.00) vs oh, $40 or so of solid state, I have to stop and ask, ‘really?’ Not seeing the ‘value added’ in this function. As for those critiquing the ‘crushing isn’t good’, ‘can’t get the paint…

Does anyone actually know what Microsoft’s ‘end-game’ plan really is? I mean, they keep releasing products and the destroying them as fast as they can (Win 7, Media Center, etc.) often junking them, obsoleting them, or just dropping them. Simultaneously, they “want out of the software business”, but aren’t releasing…

The beauty of Linux, is YOU CAN DO THIS! I’ve got a Pi running a nearly full 14.04LTS suite (more than Mate), but I know some that have theirs running as nothing more than a stripped down NAS system. Half the cost of any Chrome chip in itself, the Pi is super-flexible, and the Linux makes it super-attractive, no…

Though I have two graduate degrees now, when I was young, both in high school and undergraduate college, I really fought with mathematics. Teachers seemed to drill from the book, the book, the board and the book. I just fought to get B’s constantly. Then, due to catching a credit-hour discrepancy of 1-hour, I had to…

Decent for bulk ‘black-only’printing in a SOHO, but in a lot of instances, that isn’t the only color you need to print with. One of the best (if not the best) printers on the market (albeit, an inkjet) is the Canon Pixma iP2820 (or any of the Pixma line). I’ve had (close to) 100 printers in the past 30-years, and the…
