We use a cheap monochrome laser for everyday use... way cheaper in the long run than having to constantly replace inkjet cartridges. My previous laser printer was like $75 on sale and I bought offbrand toner from SimplyInk.com or Amazon, whoever had the better deal when it was time to buy some. I just replaced it…

Advice for doctors. I understand that patients are responsible for some of the delays in doctors' offices, and that these tips will help, but

Please note that formatting is not the same thing as erasing. You're basically getting rid of the file/directory pointers. The data is still there and can be easily recovered using the appropriate tools.

I agree with this. I introduced my daughter to super heroes, she started getting complaints at school that she was being too rough, so there went super heroes. I'm going to try introducing her to some mild NES games via the Wii VC and see how that goes next. She's almost five and is familiar with the Wii controller…

I would prefer it if, every time someone said the word 'awesome' in regards to the film adaptation of I Am Legend, they just punched themselves in the face.

So how are these actually more secure? Do the stores still store this data to be stolen?

As a programmer, I'd be at a complete loss as to how I would do my job if I were to suffer the loss of my even one of my fingers. I'm sure I'd adapt, but how well and whether or not I'd wear out my employer's patience before then would not be something I would not like to find out.

Haven't you covered on Lifehacker before, at least from commenters who should know, that power outlets can't be flush with a desk because a spill could get in and short things out?

Looks more professional than Sochi

My dad has told me stories of doing this when he was a kid. They'd build up the course and then pour ice over it to get it nice and slick for maximum speed. My grandparents have a quite steep hill to do it on and he talked of many trials and errors and hard lessons learned about how to route the run to avoid trees…

So you're pretty much just like me, but several years from now (because I'm not married yet, and children aren't in my immediate future). We run a tight ship and the only thing killing us financially right now are things related to our upcoming wedding. Once that is over and paid off, it'll be smooth sailing

Exactly. Me and my wife were pooling assets prior to being married. I was helping pay off her credit cards like two years before we got married (and we were not even living together). Originally, she made more money than me because it took me a year out of college to get a job (got married 6 weeks after I graduated…

I make nearly twice as much as my soon-to-be-spouse but it hasn't really created a "rift". We're not married yet but have had the majority of our money pooled into a shared checking account and it's been working out fine. We keep track of every purchase with an Excel spreadsheet that I'm more of the "manager" of and I…

For me it's the opposite. The idea of sharing everything is alien to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to play devil's advocate or argue that one way is better than the other for everyone. It's all up to the couple and their preferences and philosophies. But I will explain my personal views for what they are worth.

Snipers with AK-47s? "Sniper" is a fairly specific role, not one you would normally find crawling around in a tunnel with a generally inaccurate automatic weapon.

"Last April, an unknown number of snipers, armed with what were likely AK-47s, crept into a manhole in the middle of the night. "

Yesss, I would love if Alton Brown answered these!!

I have and continue to play...

My favorite is the 1 star rating with a glowing review about it. I couldnt count how many times I've read a highly positive review about a product, but the reviewer gave it 1 star.
