Could we come up with a better term than “no-poo”? It conjures a mental image of a few “enlightened” people proudly brandishing their greasy scalps while the rest happily lather their hair with excrement.

I had a three-year subscription to VPN Unlimited from a StackSocial deal, but it was a PITA to get working on my Chromebooks without having to manually establish an OVPN connection on the Linux backend.

Considering it shipped with 4.3, I think the fact that it even has 6.0.1 is a godsend. Marshmallow adoption rate is, what? 2%-ish?

“St@rt123" is a perfect example of why complexity requirements are idiotic. Congrats! You made a password that has a requisite Capital Letter, Number, and Special Character, that is still trivially easy to guess.

Considering how many products fall under the Powercore line, it seems a little unfair to declare the entire line the winner.

Once you’ve learned some SQL, you’re free to use the Failure Story about forgetting to sanitize your database inputs.

If you’re in Computer Science, this should elicit a sympathetic nod from the interviewer:

You’re making the rest of us in DC look bad by moving, Alan! The one thing we’ve been able to hold onto from day to day is, “Well at least the traffic/rent/cost of living in DC isn’t as bad as New York City or Los Angeles!”

There are some things one needs to know, and some things that knowing will bring only pain and remorse.

How is the Surface Book treating you?

It’s awesome that you’ve got a Developer Edition XPS 13. Is there something you need Linux for in your daily routine, or is it simply a dedication to the open source philosophy?

All of my browsers have an adblocker installed, so it’s really a moot point. I just don’t want Gmail harvesting all of the e-mails I’ve received from a Hotmail address created in 2000. So I’ll probably pass on this integration.

If I link outside accounts to my Gmail account in this manner, will Google start harvesting my e-mails from these addresses as well in order to construct targeted ads?

This is not widely known? I thought it was standard Mother’s Instructions™ when teaching how to cook rice that you fry the rice slightly first with some salt and butter/olive oil in the pan first.

I’ve lost no less than four glass french presses in the past due to shattering. One shattered when a clumsy coworker knocked it off the table next to the sink. One shattered from a two-inch fall as I was holding it over the sink to rinse it out with cold water. Another cracked after I rinsed it. The final one simply…

My allergy is unfortunately something in my work office. And despite telling my employer repeatedly about this and submitting a mountain of anecdotal evidence (i.e. “Did you notice how I never sneeze on those days where I work remotely? Or that entire week where I was on a different floor? And yet as soon as I step…

Sorry, RtM, but Google Keep made you obsolete.

Here’s a “premium” feature that I wish laptop makers would stop bothering with: touchscreens.

Yes, and I have downloaded both GWX Control Panel and Spybot’s Anti-Beacon to stop the notifications and other shady telemetry communication. But I ask you: does manually editing registry values strike you as the kind of thing your average Windows user is going to be competent or inclined to do? Particularly if they…

I don’t understand how this isn’t grounds for a lawsuit. The people who paid for their licenses for Windows 7 and Windows 8 are being pestered, strong-armed, and tricked into upgrading to a different product. The fact that it’s “free” completely sidesteps the primary point that it’s a huge regression in terms of…
