2.9 must be only for Windows because 2.8 appears to be the latest build for Macs...

I'm wondering how the rules apply to an experience my wife and I had during a European trip…

It's nothing to joke about; if you don't address the situation you can look forward to increasingly serious back and hip problems as you age. Fortunately, there are exercises that do wonders as long as there isn't an underlying health problem that isn't being treated. A physical therapist can do an assessment and show…

This sentence following the supermarket aisle video could use some editing: "David Foster Wallace's 2005 commencement speech at Kenyon College gets cited a lot for various reasons, but its main appeal here is how it outlines Wallace's to life."

You actually have it backwards. That has been the Microsoft business plan since Windows was introduced...

A healthier alternative is the instant ramen from Annie Chun's. The noodles are not fried; any saturated fat is from animal fat and there isn't much of that. The "Spicy Chicken" flavor contains 1.5g total fat and only 0.5g saturated fat. Other flavors may have more or less fat depending on the ingredients used.

Apple refurbs can be a good way to go… They have the same return period and one-year warranty as new Apple products. A lot of people buy nothing but Apple refurbs and save a lot of money.

That's interesting… It makes sense that Apple would link your account with your registration info.

What I don't see mentioned is stool that is very pale and even white in color. That is a sign of possible serious liver dysfunction that could lead to liver failure (and a liver transplant or death…) In such cases it's likely that your urine will be dark colored; it can become so dark it looks like iodine. (Jaundice…

BishopBlaize: Is using a VPN a problem with some providers? I haven't heard of any problems; how would they even know that someone is using VPN?

You are pointing out one of the main problems with dealing with email in the order in which they are received. Unfortunately, skimming every email that arrives isn't always an option, even if it only takes "5-10 seconds, max."

I'm a pro photographer and I have used the R Strap for over five years after 25 years of using neoprene camera straps from OpTech.

If a message reaches the catch-all inbox then something is wrong. The last thing I want is all my messages winding up in one mailbox; I don't care if they are sorted oldest-to-newest or vice-versa...

I read that damp sponges require 4 minutes; I give 'em five just to make sure. I toss them in the microwave after they come out of the clothes washer and I toss them in the clothes dryer when they come out of the microwave.

An alternative to these inexpensive displays is the extensive line of displays from NEC.

Data encryption is critical when using a cloud service. Crashplan offers a couple of built-in encryption options that ensure that only the customer has access to the data. But even though I opted for one of those options I still encrypt some sensitive data using a third-party app before I upload the data to Crashplan.

I have used Tor in conjunction with a VPN to accomplish what you describe. I have also used a VPN with TorBrowser (https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbr…).

I have dozens of apps and I paid full price for less than ten of them by using App Shopper and scanning Dealmac.com every morning for discounted apps that are not on my wish list.

I have used Tor in the past. As others have written, it isn't particularly fast/easy to use and it isn't as secure as it's made out to be...

I prefer to encrypt individual files/folders and I like it to be as simple and fast as possible.
