Learning to code is great because it teaches you how to think analytically about a problem, and work with a set of tools to create a solution to the problem. However, coding itself doesn't necessarily teach you anything about computers. I know a lot of people who have taken programming courses yet are still mystified…

I have one remote I use solely to turn on the AV receiver, another to control the satellite box and a mouse/keyboard to control the PC I have plugged into the TV. The satellite remote also controls the receiver but I've found it easier to use the actual receiver remote to turn it on and change inputs. I've been…

That's certainly a a part of it. I've always found that LG tries too hard to make a stylish monitor; they usually go too far and make it something I don't want to show off on my desk.

While I don't think it should be allowed for a store to charge for using a card, I do think it's fair to enforce a minimum purchase for using some of these cards. I used to work at a small store and before we got our debit system that worked through the internet, it cost us a little under $.50 per transaction, and…

From my experience, Dell makes the best monitors for the best price, and last I checked, they seem to be using IPS for everything except the two or three cheapest models they make. I currently don't own a Dell monitor, but I've had good luck with them in the past. And as soon as their new 4K ones are available in…

I bought Bioshock Infinite on Steam, but I've been having driver-related crashes that have really ruined the experience for me. Getting it for free on PS3 means I might finally get through it!

If you're a student, Dropbox may be better only because they like to offer quite a lot of extra storage if you get a few people from your school to also sign up. I've somehow earned 67GB worth of storage like this.

I got a car as a "gift" from my grandfather. But the only reason he gave it to me was because he bought a new one and the dealer wouldn't give him fair value for the old one (they offered $1000 for a car worth about 3 times that).

A full-size GM sedan might work. The front seats can slide pretty far back, hopefully far enough.

I can't see this being better than an actual mouse; especially since the video recommends using the cheapest, and therefore, least precise tracking sensor. This is that kind of "hack" that sounds good in theory but doesn't really work in practice. Anyone who actually needs precision would be using a trackball anyway.

Huh, I did not know that. I may have to rethink renewing my [Canadian, meaning practically useless already] prime membership.

If you make a lot of sub-$25 orders, it might be worth looking into amazon prime.

Dropbox or any of its competing services is probably the easiest way to do this. Unlike other upload sites, there's no file size limit other than the storage space you have in your account. It also has the advantage of being able to share entire folders, so you don't have to make a zip file. Plus, if you're…

If you drive around in an older car or a vehicle that's been problematic, it might be worth actually buying a code reader; or even a scan tool. I got one at 50% off a year ago at Canadian Tire and I've gotten a lot of use out of it and saved a fair bit of money. I've used it to self-diagnose some problems and fix it…

I mean, come on!

The one that bothers me beyond belief is that some people seem to think that defiantly and definitely are the same word. I mean, just take a look at the word! Don't you notice that the way it's spelled is completely different from how it's pronounced?

This is good to know. It's happened to me in the past that I didn't get my package by the date it was promised to me. This tends to happen only when Canada Post ships my stuff. They're good at changing my launch day delivery to day after launch day delivery...

Shows how much I know then! I have much to learn still.

I was thinking of Buick specifically. In 1959 they did have 3 models (hence the tri-shield logo which debuted that year) but they all had different frames and wheelbases. Different engine options as well.

These lights are strikingly similar to the Ford Galaxie from around the same time. In my books, some of the best headlights ever.
