I'll just leave this here...

I probably will end up rearranging a bunch of stuff because I'm currently using my home server as a gaming PC as well and when you're modding Skyrim and need to do a lot of clicking, this touchpad isn't the greatest. I could've bought a Bluetrack mouse or something to use on the couch, but I just never did it. I…

Ah gotcha. I never got into Lost. I know people said I should give it another shot, but something about that polar bear just rubbed me the wrong way.

I have that Logitech K400 keyboard and it's amazeballs. I use it on my home server that's hooked up to the TV in the living room. Can't live without it. The range is good and I only recently had to change the AA batteries in it after owning it for a little over a year now. The only gripe I have with it is that…

Why 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42? Sports numbers? Favre, Jordan, Jackie Robinson...lol I don't see the pattern.

Maybe you can help answer another question: people who bet patterns of numbers on the lottery, e.g. multiples of 5's, numbers that line up in a diagonal pattern on the card, etc. etc. those combinations of numbers still have the same odds of hitting as any other combination of numbers, correct? Like if you play…

Gotcha. So I guess I do understand it a little :) Thanks!

Thank you for this. Earlier on Gizmodo they posted a bunch of ridiculous statistics that aren't random events of chance like "chances of dating a super model are 88,000:1 which is better than this lottery". It was mind-numbingly dumb because obviously that's not a chance thing. You have control over who you date…

In a perfect world, this would be great, but unfortunately it just won't happen. I'm in total agreement with you though.

Salary negotiations suck so hard for the interviewee and they're great for the company, which is why they'll never go away.

I don't know what's in that picture with the bubble-wrapped items, but I want it. I think that I'm now conditioned to drool over items in bubble wrap, like in a Pavlovian type of way.

I'm still kicking myself for not GPU mining back when it was profitable to do so. But the other thing to take into consideration when hearing all of this, is that I've heard some horror stories about people who are currently trying to sell their coins. AFAIK, MtGox has suspended withdrawals and is embroiled in legal…

Well kudos to you for not completely flipping out. I probably would've just set my house on fire to counteract the water...

Whitson, you say "if your computer is running, turn off your PC as fast as possible".

I've got a pretty beastley machine, at least for most stuff. I'll have to try my hand at that when I get a chance. Thanks!

I'd love to learn more about 3D modeling. Looks cool!

When you mentioned Task Manager, I instantly thought of Windows Task Manager, which I already had open :) But yes, looking in Chromes Task Manager, I have 11 tabs open now, 17 processes are running. Google Docs extension doesn't have its own process (probably because it piggybacks on the management process?), but…

"meta-particles"...

Something that I just learned recently that was hogging a lot of memory on some weaker systems that I have in the office is Chrome with Extensions enabled. Each extension in Chrome invokes an additional process. So if you're like me and use AdBlock Plus, Auto HD for YouTube, and Google Docs, then as soon as you…
