Depending on what your streaming, 3g should be fine. I stream I heart radio stations and it starts out ~750kbit/s then settles down to ~50kbit/s. Though it definitely is not high quality. (pulling from my S4 via Bluetooth or iPad or iPhone digitally is much clearer) I mostly stream talk radio so I am not really…

Yes, you can create another account for YouTube. My XMBC setup needed a YouTube account to use the plugin. It would error out if I tried to search or do anything with it. My main Google+ account has 2 factor auth and the plugin can't handle that. I created a new account for simply watching YouTube stuff on my XBMC…

Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know something like that existed. I found one that would fit my needs more (I like teas) : MUI Color Glass bottle with Infuser

I have an AP that is in range of my house with an SSID of "FBI Van number 245". There is another down the street (saw it when I was walking the dog) labelled "Mine - Not Yours". Ironically both had WEP encryption. I think I have two War driving honey pot's in my neighborhood.

I worked at one company that has a movie theater popcorn machine. If you didn't like the smell of a movie theater, this place was not for you. They broke that thing (it was on wheels) every friday and everyone had at least two bags (brown lunch bags) of popcorn that day. I used to call it "Carb-load Friday". Good…

The ONLY thing that would kill the funk in my Vibram Five-Fingers (look them up if you don't know what they are) that I wore barefoot for a few years were a healthy dose of Efferdent fizzy tabs. 1/2 a standard box per shoe soak them in water, dump half a box in, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Of course you shoes would…

Used to do this all the time, until I ran across an environment that didn't allow ssh to pass through the firewall. Jumped over to OpenVPN. Was worth it to setup and get working.

I don't have a picture, but I use thin sheets of plastic, like a milk carton. Cut out a rectangle, cut a hold big enough for the light switch, and a small hole for the screw. It lays flat, and can be pulled up if needed.

"as I understand it, they at least ask nicely that you pay them if you're using it in an enterprise environment."

In the iPhone world, Cydia is commonly used after jailbreaking to install most anything. At least that is what I used when I jailbroke my iPhone a couple years ago.

The only thing I can use something like this for is to text the wife that I have left work. She gets off work 1/2 hour after I *should* get off work and this tells her I have left and it is cool to call me. I don't use IFTTT as I use android, but I setup automateit to do this: check my location every 10 minutes (saves…

Your post was less than 10 days old not a zombie by any means. If it were a year old, yes, zombie. Though I fail to see what the thread being < 10 days old has to do with your requirements changing. :)

Well now that you add more requirements, yes of course it would still be a NO. But if you (as you did with your previous post) use passwordmeter.com as the requirement, then it does pass your requirements. Changing requirements mid-stream isn't cool. :)

Capitalizing every word, to make it CorrectHorseBatteryStaple moves it from the 25% range to the 90% range. I would bet it scores better than most people's passwords at that point. Add a Space and an exclamation point, and BOOM! 100% on passwordmeter.com. Does that turn your NO into a YES?

This is a nice alternative to running a server bare metal. I also have an ESXi server which runs 14 VMs currently. If you have the means and know that you will use it, grab an old PowerEdge 2950 from Ebay (really good hardware, and cheap to boot), build an ESXi server and throw some SATA drives at it. It does suck up…

Yes, 3.5 years later it is. Since I don't have a version of the app that is 3.5 years old, I cannot tell if it was possible back then.

I work with EEPC/EEMAC and FileVault 2 for work. Those can be a bigger PITA than TrueCrypt. The worst thing about TC, is when Win7 has a SP that auto installed. It apparently messed with the bootloader, and when it did, I lost the drive. I had to use the recovery disk to get it back, but all I did was decrypt it, let…

I could only get on board with this if a bunch of the VPN companies (especially the trusted ones) became sponsors. That way we could kill two birds with one stone. Some protection from prying eyes, and unlimited internet. Drop your data plan to a tiny amount, save money as well. I bet there is something in the fine…

Assuming the drive is not encrypted, can I boot off an external drive, or can I remove your drive? If I can do either, I can boot off my own drive, and copy your data. Or drop something on your machine to run at startup if that is what I want. If I can remove your drive, I can plug it into my laptop as a second drive…

I found DoubleTwist while searching for a player that has scrubbing like an iPod/iPhone does. (I listen to 2 hour sets, having 2 inches to scroll through 2 hours makes it hard to hit a 10 minute section of the set. Scrubbing aloows you to move your finger up above the line, and it slows the fast forward/reverse down)…
