For a non-toxic barrier, try food-grade diatomaceous earth. It's a mechanical pesticide that physically gets into the segments of insect exoskeletons to wear and/or dry them out. Food-grade DE is not only non-toxic but edible. You don't want to get it in your eyes, but otherwise it's harmless to humans.

If only the old system were in fact the old system. Unfortunately, Windows 8 doesn't let you forget the old system. The desktop interface is still there. Windows 8 still runs on old familiar desktop and laptop hardware. Office only runs in the desktop UI. You cannot get away from it. Windows 8 continues to reinforce…

Well then let's take the risk out of the equation. Let's say you could crash your car with no consequences. No personal harm, no auto damage, no injury to anyone or anything. Run into a wall, no harm, no foul. You still think reversing the pedals would not be a problem?

Imagine if we started building cars with the gas and brake pedals reversed. Same pedals controlled by the same foot, just in opposite positions. Nothing difficult about that interface change, right?

Why is an article entitled "The Ten Best Places to Hide Crap In Your Car" accompanied by a photo of a woman hidden in a car?

when?

You calling that guy a liar?

That must be what keeps Dick Cheney going. The man survived five heart attacks and lived fifteen months without a pulse. Never apologizes for anything, not even accidentally shooting another man in the face.

And how does that relate to saving money vs. turning it into an AirPlay Receiver? Yay, that it is capable of doing X, Y, and Z, but for all the add-ons required for your giant list, I could buy a whole PC and be done with it (which I have).

I have no regrets about switching to quality (preferably American-grown) coffee. Yes, I do have to venture into the world and endure a bad cup every now and then, but I like being able to recognize what I'm drinking.

"You'll also find yourself a little confused, as Google splits its Maps and Navigation apps into separate entities. While this seems a little strange, and really doesn't make a ton of sense..." — Actually, if you've ever used separate apps for mapping and navigation, you'll find it makes perfect sense. Finding a place…

I've developed flossing as a "bad" habit, and my dentist has only seen improvement in my gums since. Basically, I use flosspicks to floss at work, the way some people bite their nails or chew on pens, except that this "bad" habit is strengthening my gums.

If I already had a spare Airport Express, then I would have saved time and money. Or if I already had a Raspberry Pi set up for AirPlay, I wouldn't need to spend anything on homebrewing one. Or if I already had a home stereo system with AirPlay built-in, I wouldn't need any of this. I can't believe how much money I…

That's not how he pitched the idea. Gave the price of RP and where to buy it.

I have plenty of cobbled solutions at home, at work, and in my car, including a dual wired/wireless iPhone car dock. I just don't see the point of building stuff that already exists and can be purchased for less.

I don't think the photo of the woman holding her screen with one hand and touching it with the other is the best example of a "Quicker, More Intuitive Way to Interact with Your Computer."

Seems like a lot of work for almost no savings. Used Airport Express units go for $50-60 on eBay.

Now list five ways books are better than ereaders. Oh wait, you already did.

Good points, except few of these projects were started under Fox's term, which began at the end of Batman Begins. They would have been started under his predecessor William Earle (played by Rutger Hauer in BB), or possibly an earlier CEO. Furthermore, Fox was moved to Applied Sciences as a demotion, implying that the…

My router-charger combo consists of an Airport Express (wall-plug style) plugged into a Belkin travel surge protector with USB outlets. Actually, I don't use it for travel, but it would serve that purpose.
