Thank you! I'll give it a try.

You'll make a lot of progress just by being super consistent with both your exercise and diet program in the next four months. As I'm sure you know, there aren't any secrets to weight loss except consistently eating healthy food in the right amounts. For exercise, I'd lift twice a week and run 2-4 days per week and…

The XB1 Kinect gets a bad rap. It's actually really awesome tech and I'm glad I have it.

AKA: Walk it across the hall to the Star Wars crew.

There's no reason a modern AKIRA couldn't work if given a respectful treatment. Play upon modern notions of science and corporations run amok, increased military-esque monitoring, etc. Boom, there's your AKIRA movie. To the counter, we already have Chronicle, so, whatevs.

He stopped the entire world's destruction. Who gives a shit about one city when you save the entire planet?

Tell that to HamNo. That little prick Fast Food-shames every chance he gets.

I've bought one 1 month ago and I'm so happy about it, not only for the price, but also for the experience.
The thing I do not agree with is that everyone keep on telling "it's easy, it's simple, you can set it up one in 10 minutes".... Well, actually it depends. It depends on what you're trying to do, its complexity…

Oh! One more thing. Check Meetup.com to see if there are any Raspberry Jams being held in your area. Casual get togethers of Pi enthusiasts. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you get started.

SSH is a way to connect from your desktop (or tablet) to a server by command line. Think DOS in the old days.

Check out their website help section, it's full of easy to follow demos, documentation, instructions and if all else fails the forum community is amazingly helpful. http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/

I think it's recommendations, but I just unchecked news, recommendations and other just to make sure I covered them.

Yeah I hate that one too. The first few times I got it, it was always a celebrity and for a split second I'd be like omg they're following me?!

Well, shucks. Thanks, Rob. And if there's any money topic you'd like to see covered, feel free to shout.

Judging by the quality of books out there, I'd say about 5 minutes by a trained monkey.

No EarthBound = List invalid.

That's like saying you'd want Brett Ratner (who owns the original Action Comics debut of Superman) directing a Superman movie.

Sorry for the late reply, Rob. It seems like you've gotten some solid advice from the readers! Martha makes a great point, I think. I guess I'd just have to weigh the frustration vs the payoff. I've experienced this, too, and I know a lot of freelancers complain about it. I'm pretty patient, but maybe too patient.…

I'm a freelancer too and money is never going to be paid in the same consistent manner that your full-time gig pays. If he always pays you, then I'd stick with it. But if you're constantly asking where's my money? And wondering if you'll be paid again, maybe it's time to look for another part-time gig.
