I somewhat accidentally found my target BPM. While running (without headphones), I had a song stuck in my head and I liked the pace it was helping me keep. When I got home I used MixMeister to find the BPM of the song and created an entire playlist of songs with similar beats.

@wanderingrabbi: Some people don't have cable or a show doesn't air in their country.

@Hanchen Lu: Thanks! Great article from TorrentFreak :)

How quickly are scene releases and just-aired TV shows available? Good private torrent sites typically have a TV show available within minutes of them airing (or so I've heard...) How does Usenet fair in that regard?

@somidscr21: By 'cable box' do you mean set-top box, i.e. the thing that looks like a VCR or Tivo? If so, than it depends on what outputs are on the set-top box. Most set-top boxes will have composite (Red, Yellow, White) or component/HDMI for HD. QAM and OTA HD (over-the-air) refer to the tuner that decodes the…

@devinburn: It might be the cable. Have you connected the RCA cable to another TV to see if it worked? You might also want to play with the display settings in Windows (or whatever OS you have). Make sure your video card isn't switching to 8-bit color mode or something when you plug in the HDTV.

Anyone know of good places to review landlords? I just ended a 2 year lease on a house and was extremely frustrated by my landlord. I would like to warn others of my experiences renting from this individual. Apartment reviews are easy to find, but has anyone seen a site for house rentals?

@Magus: You don't need more cushioning if you run correctly. Your foot is a natural shock absorber. Try running barefoot or with minimalist shoes (Vibrams). This should help eliminate heel strike and cause you to land more on the balls and mid-point of your foot.

Anyone know if this comes in a two-prong model instead of three-prong?

@Matt Kruse: Can't cats see in the dark? Although I guess the light would be handy when you go in there to scoop litter.

Jorts are the clothing of gods! They also help me deal with my never-nude condition :-/

@wildeyedboy: Would he be happy with something like Justin.TV? You can always find a live feed of just about any sports channel. Granted, the quality is not always the best (definitely not HD) but it is free. Since rebroadcasts aren't legally allowed, the streams sometimes get taken down, but another one typically…

I'd pay for streaming sports over the internet. MLB does this, but all I really watch is NFL and College Football. Although most games I care about are broadcast free over the air.

@GumbyX: Great idea! Thanks :)

Anyone know if this USB mod would work with emulated ROMs on a Wii. If I hacked an old SNES controller or got a USB converter, could I use it to play SNES games on the Wii? Playing with a Wii-mote or Classic controller is okay, but a more authentic experience would be awesome!

[www.monoprice.com] - Huge selection, great deals. I've always been happy with my purchases from them.

Just gave this a try during my lunch break. I'm sad to say that the results were disappointing. Granted, I used whole wheat flour instead of the all-purpose enriched stuff. Not sure if that matters, but in any case, I wouldn't say the flour did any noticeable polishing.

@AandPguy: I saw on the ThickButtons support forums that they only support 1.6+ :(

@Tony Bullard Jr: I was wondering the same thing. Looks like he's using the beta version of the Android Evernote client mentioned here: [lifehacker.com]
