Another good place for office and home theater furniture is Overstock.com.

I just picked up a Whalen Astoria desk from Staples on sale for $149 and its a great looking desk with a smoked glass inlay on the top and a keyboard tray wide enough to accommodate two full sized keyboards side by side. If I remember right the table top measures roughly 47" x 30" so plenty of room for a 24" iMac and…

What I'm getting at is that those chemical compounds could be different. My last foray into chemistry was back in high school in the late 60's so I've pretty much forgotten 90% of what I learned back then but here's my question laid out plain and simple.

For example, sulfur, I would think that sulfur comes from many…

Besides the arguments above about coatings helping one brand of drug be more effective than another I wonder if generic ibuprofen/acetaminophen etc might be in fact different from manufacturer to manufacturer?

There are some things you should never buy online, clothes, bedding, towels, shoes and furniture to name a few. Doing so only leads to finding out it doesn't fit, the color they showed on the site wasn't nearly what it looked like in reality (thank you Walmart), or wasn't the right size. Going to a brick and mortar…

Blow some borax powder into the wall through an opening like the crack around an electrical box/wall socket when to take the cover off. Worst case you can drill a small hole, apply the borax powder and repair the hole.

Another fact I learned. You can never kill all the ants in a colony. Some always survive. So when acting the part of Death of Ants (tip of the hat to writer Terry Pratchett of Discworld fame) I keep watch for the colony to re-establish itself a few feet away - but smaller. I'll nuke it again, wait for it to start…

Ants, and other pests, come into the house for three main reasons, food, water, and shelter. If they have those three outside then less chance of them bothering you.

We used to get ants in the kitchen all the time. I noticed they all seemed to come from mounds in a part of the yard that was nothing but hard packed…

As for killing ants in their mound, get some fine borax powder and sprinkle it where the ants travel. They get it on themselves and bring it back to the mound where it kills them. Safe around children and pets too.

I put a few drops of liquid dish soap into a spray bottle filled with tap water, kills ants fast (they drown) and is better than using expensive chemical sprays for cleaning up afterwards.

Focusrite 8i6 (it replaced a M-Audio Fast Track).

Odd, my personal opinion is that its easier to use Windows over OS-X. Especially since Windows 7 came out, and yes, Windows 8's dual interface can be 'interesting' to use but I installed a program to bypass the Metro interface (I still think that's the best name for it). When I buy a laptop with a touch screen that…

As far as smaller devices such as laptops, media players and phones, they all have a short lifespan as far as OS/software updates making them obsolete since their hardware is mostly fixed, other than memory or drive updating in the case of laptops.

Agreed! I also am a OS-X/Windows/Linux (add distro name here) user and no matter what the hardware or OS they ALL have their hair-pulling moments. Truth is there is no one best OS or hardware platform.

Seems to me you're still paying those same cable companies, or some other TV/Internet/Phone company, for your Internet access. Plus, with all your new streaming you're most likely to go over your data cap and get charged extra.

Monoprice has a couple of nice, thick, glass monitor shelves for less, also with adjustable legs. Just bought me one a couple of weeks ago and looks great.

The use of a telephoto lens compresses things so that jet looks a lot closer to the building than it actually was.
