You could always setup wake on LAN and connect to the router first to turn on the computer (Tomato and probably dd-wrt have the option to send wol packets)

After getting a nice pair of crimpers, strain relief boots, ends, and good quality cable, you're really close to what Newegg or Monoprice charges unless you need to pull cables, make a huge quantity, or need very specific lengths. Cat6 cables are only a very cents more and you don't have to worry about that annoying…

Been working great for me for a while

I've been using Backblaze for a while and it's been pretty good. Only problem is downloading large archives (over 10GBs). You can set a key that encrypts your data (from your computer onward). To view/restore you need to enter the key/password

Could this be combined with that company offering free co-location services for Raspberry Pis? Basically free Tor exit node hosting with huge bandwidth?

Cold water helps cool your body down as well when you're exercising. There have been multiple studies into the subject, but they suggest (haven't personally reviewed each one) consuming ice/cold beverages can improve performance.

Just got an Intel 330 60GB from Newegg for 49.99 after rebate. I'd say they are falling pretty well. In defense of Intel's pricing, they have much better reliability (or less people complaining) compared to other companies (namely OCZ).

Kmarts/Sears/Land End/Great Indoors rewards program has an email option, but they can also lookup your receipt if you used your rewards account during checkout.

I work in retail and we simply don't have a large enough payroll to schedule extra cashiers. There are always things to be done, but never enough money to do them. Plus, the cashier has to have enough training to do extra tasks during their shift. Training takes time and money. Someone on the sales floor is always…

Like many others I'll have to disagree. Sure chips play an important part in noise, but a crappily built computer will be load no matter what chip is installed.

I have some really old hard drives that make high-pitched metallic whines when they run. You could try unplugging your HDD and just let your computer sit in the BIOS and see if the sound is gone. Hard drives started dropping in price again so replacing it wouldn't be too big on an expense.

DVD Decrypter to rip and decrypt any protections. DVD Shrink if I want the original minus advertisements/menus. HandBrake to convert.

#10 dictates that it's not necessary to buy the new iPhone every time a new version with slightly better hardware comes out. It mentions that most gadgets come with sufficient hardware to achieve whatever you want them to (non-upgradable stuff). #1 dictates that the best way to improve performance (of your computer)…

I wonder if the acidic vinegar will react with any basic solution (soap) left in the drain the cause problems. I know someone whose drain corroded away because of vinegar and baking soda (to "unclog" the drain).

You should head on over to MSFN.org. There should be enough guides on the site and in the forums to cover all of the operating systems. Basically you put GRUB on there and it boots Linux and chainloads NTLDR or Bootmgr depending on the Windows version. There is also a way to boot certain ISOs and I know you can add…
