Yeah, this is my experience as well. I have roadside assistance with my insurance company, esurance, but when I called it took well over an hour for a truck to come. I was in the middle of Los Angeles. No excuse for such a long wait in a major city.

Yes you can but it takes a lot of work, and the savings is not worth it over just getting a mac mini. Hackintoshes really only make sense at the "pro" level.

This too was my issue. I don't so mind the ads, but that I see the same ad 10 times in one showing. Its maddening.

Man I really loved IMO. Seems like all the good web based multi-chat clients are dying. :( I guess I'll have to install an actual app on my work computer.

Haha, everything about buying a car is absurd. However I think there is a happy medium; Plus, this doesn't take into account longevity. I would much rather spend say $16k on a car I'll have for 10 years, than $5k on one that wont last me three. I make a little more than the medium income and purchased a car for $18k.…

Yes. This is why I'm thinking of canceling amazon prime. Its just too easy to order things I don't need, and then adds up to lots of stuff and lots of money gone.

Life hacker has pictures of my old place here: http://lifehacker.com/5549427/effici…

Thanks for the reminder, I always forget about freecycle.

Its intresting, I moved from a tiny 275sq ft apartment to a relatively huge 700 sq ft apartment recently. I didn't move almost half my stuff. Even in my small place I had almost enough furniture to furnish two apartments. Now my issue is all this extra stuff, and getting rid of it. It takes so much energy to list each…

I use auto text that have different levels of contact information depending on who I am sending the email to.

Sorry, I know this is a bit off topic, but is there a version of the main picture with just the lightbulbs?

Sometimes its hard to do this. It seems like less and less stores don't have small size items. I remember wanting to get a small jar of mayo once, and the smallest size they had was about 4 times what I wanted.

Yes, you'll get a certificate that says you completed the course, but you will not get any college credit, and the certificate will specify that you were never actually enrolled in the university. So you can't go around calling yourself a Harvard alumni or anything. But you do get a nice certificate that says you…

This is very much the same way I feel about it too. Both with regards about it being one of the least interesting parts of my life, and also for the most part I only came out to lots of people when BF comes to a party or social event.

You'll be waiting a LONG time for that. You should just get a slide out keyboard case if you are that desperate for a physical keyboard.

Gawker media clearly labels sponsored content. Some of their site posts do read like ads in that they basically repeat press releases. But, if they are getting paid, they'll tell you.

At work its mostly desktop. I say about 90% with some tablet and phone.

Wow thanks for the tip.

Can science speak to the easing of post-break-up friendship distribution?

Those pictures are so not worth it. When I got my cap and gown my mom just took me to a photo studio where we paid a fraction of the cost of the school sponsored pictures. Best part is they included light retouching at no extra cost.
