Fixing a relative's computer is like when Wolverine's claws come out of his hands. It hurts every time.

Not so much worst as funny, but on my first days doing tech support for a company there were 3 calls that stood out:

How much did you pay for an unspellchecked, unGoogled guess at the name of Annie Leibovitz, one of the most famous photographers in the world?

Oh this is fun! What would other gawker sites waste $10,000 on for things we already know?

It won't matter for practical purposes. We could argue that the flowerpot makes it worse, since infrared energy (which is the pot radiating at 140F vs flame at 1400F) is more likely to be absorbed by the walls and mirrors, whereas the portion of the energy from visible light is reflected back onto objects in the…

While it's true that you need to be careful with candles, I don't think the fact that fires can happen is a good reason not to ever use them. Just be smart with them. For comparison, six million car accidents happen per year (US), but most people are still able to drive to and from work every day without totaling…

The screen (though out of stock for the link they provided) was ~$130, the Pi itself and the 10,000 mAh battery were $40 each and the headphone amp and carbon fiber back were another $50.

An incomplete parts list at $260 is already pushing the price of a Nexus 7 or other similar tablets, so id say this is far more of…

I purchase albums or torrent, and put everything onto my Zune HD. No fucks given.

I don't have a smartphone. I can't really lug my desktop computer to the gym with me, so I download and then copy files over to an MP3 player like some sort of caveman.

Lots of people. I don't really like Spotify, Pandora, or any similar alternatives. I'm a musician, so I'm really into music, really specific music at that. I'm not the type of person that enjoys turning on Jango and listen to random songs that are similar to what I like. I like certain bands, and certain songs, and I…

Everyone lives in a bubble. All social interaction is predicated on people trying to move out of their little bubbles to learn from others and share discoveries. That is what I am doing. I want to know frequency but not ask in such a dry or overly clinical manner. I am not denigrating you for choosing to live the way…

I have satellite internet with a 10gb/month bandwidth cap. I can not spend that just mindlessly listening to whatever some bullshit algorithm on Pandora decides I can listen to. Sometimes I might use Grooveshark but I have to be really careful how much I listen to. For me a media player is essential in keeping my huge…

This may sound stupid to you, but I still buy music. Specifically, physical albums that I like enough to want a hard copy of to hold onto for as long as possible. And I want someplace to have those albums digitized and sorted alongside my digital music collection.

YES. This is one of the big sticking points for me. That and the fact that I actually own my music and if I decide to switch to another player/service/something shuts down I don't lose everything I paid for.

No matter how good the internet is and how much the cloud is pushed local data and local apps are always better than the 'cloud', it's more reliable, it's more private, and it's yours, you cannot have things forcibly removed from you, and you are free to do with it as you please.

What these guys said. My music is important to me, as are my books and films. I want to own it, not license it from a company that may cease to exist one day, and only when an Internet connection is available (other customers of Time Warner Cable will understand). A good-quality MP3 is small, reliable, and mine.

I'm a little puzzled why an everyday carry bag has to have 4 knives (Kershaw Cryo, Kershaw 3/4 Ton, SAK Alox, Leatherman Micra). You'd think the Micra would cover unless you felt the need to have a larger knife, then maybe add one of the Kershaws.

WTF does that mean? Some sort of snide remark about the Chinese?

UGH! This is the worst! In most circles you give away last years crap gifts, but this year my friends set a $10 limit. As in, go spend $10 on some shit that no one wants. I mean sure it'll be funny when we open gifts, but then I either have to store it or trash it. I'd rather spend my $10 on another bottle of booze!
