I'm considering possibly ordering some of the custom in ear molds from your website, are they compatible with pretty much any "standard" ear buds, other than just the small list that is on the chart on the website? I'm curious, because if I get a different set of headphones than what is listed as the "approved and…

I have the same problem, which is why I always use over-the-ear giant headphones while at work and doing whatever. It would certainly be nice to have a smaller, more portable quality set of headphones though. I can never get a comfortable fit. After about 20 minutes my ears go numb and experience a bit of pain from…

+1 for Ting. People underestimate Ting. They offer a great service for people who don't talk or text much, or for any light user for that matter. No one "needs" unlimited everything these days. And some people don't want to pay for things they don't use.

Oh I totally agree that it is an awesome round. Just the history of why and how it was developed is pretty cool. It was meant to be a NATO replacement round to the 9mm but with more penetrating power. Seems like it would be a great system to have a pistol and a carbine use the same ammo. It is a shame that sometimes…

scenic wallpapers like that always annoy me. I get excited that there is this beautiful woods right outside my window, and then I decide I want to take a walk in the woods for a break, only to bump into the wall and get depressed because it isn't real :( Real windows only for this guy!

Is it evil week already? :D lol oh yeah that was a couple months ago. Still great advice though!

lol best car sales video of all time!

I didn't think anyone really used the 5.7mm round much. I guess they still have a place and purpose. Anyway, awesome gun.

Because I just happened to have the extra hardware laying around in the first place and I wanted to do something with it. It was previously used in a small business backup environment, although it was implemented very poorly and thus removed. It has been sitting in my basement for a while just waiting to be…

I've considered it, and I have ran Ubuntu on its own before. My Windows 7 workstation does most of the work in my house, really I just need a central place to dump my several TB of random media currently spread out on several hard drives. Just looking to consolidate everything in one place for ease of access/backup.…

What OS are you running? I have an older desktop with a first gen Core i5 and 6GB RAM. I have 4 2TB drives, I'd like to have N+1 disk redundancy, and have the array rebuild itself rather easily. Just want it to do basic storage, CIFS/Samba share. I already run Plex on my workstation desktop, so I can just attach the…

I'm pretty new to the ZFS scene, but I'm thinking of doing something similar with Nas4Free (or Open Media Vault, or similar) I'd like to have N+1 with 4 drives or more. I'm not using ECC RAM though, so I wonder if there is another solution to ZFS, or if I can just run ZFS without ECC? I have 6GB RAM in the system I'll…

I don't have ECC RAM in my NAS I'm building, but I'm thinking about using it or something equivalent. I've read that ECC is a good idea, but not always necessary. Do you have any thoughts on the differences between UFS, ZFS, BtrFS, XFS, and all the other new modern file systems? Ideally what I'm trying to do is take 4…

Old article revived, thanks for showing this again! I have a 5.1 setup in a rather large living room with hardwood floors, which makes it difficult to calibrate sound correctly due to a lot of reverberation.

The kinds of tricks like dumping warm water on your car or scraping with a credit card like they showed in the link at the article might work in the south, like SC where this was linked to, I would NEVER do this in states that see actual cold. If I dumped warm water on my car this morning, the -8F air would have…

True. But I like to think it is. I love it that much :D seriously though, -10 is -10, it still sucks horribly. More so for me being a fleshy human, the wind just makes it that much worse.

As I said in my comment, that article was probably aimed towards those northern Florida people when it gets to 40 degrees. Not -30 with windchill like it was here this week. Totally different meaning of "cold".

This whole week the temperature here has been around -10, or -30 with windchill. Fahrenheit. My car sits outside not in a garage. I usually go outside, start my car, let it run for 3-5 minutes, then come back outside to get in a somewhat warm car. The engine temp needle has barely moved at this point, but at least all…

As long as the trucker had his lights on, the fact that it was dark and the trailer was white shouldn't be an issue. Also they were probably following too closely. I drive all the time in conditions like that here in WI. They key is to leave a lot of extra distance between you and the car in front of you.

This is what I use. I neglected using a password manager for so long until I installed this on my phone finally. It was free, so I went with it.
