Thing is, private Internet service providers usually have tiered offerings of speed, and we pay a lot more for it. I pay about $50 a month to get 20 MBps from Time Warner Cable. I live in a small town where there is maybe one other option, and it is nowhere near as fast or reliable as TWC's basement-level offering.

I believe the primary advantage is that it's easier to dispute credit card transactions, as you never actually lose possession of any cash if your credit card account is compromised.

Srsly, it's the ducking worst shoot I've ever tried to type with.

It's briefly mentioned early in the game that one of the pieces of intel you're sent to collect at some point "confirms" that the Russian whoever will support the Chinese general in the coup that he stages. That is the extent of the justification for Russian soldiers appearing in the game.

It's really not that bad - I use a OTP generating dongle for two factor authentication to log into my work VPN, and it's quite easy. Considering the extra security it provides some fairly crucial data, the slight inconvenience is more than worth it, and I would leap at the chance to implement the same system for all…

I've been wondering the same thing, and I've decided that this is what I'm going to get if I ever start feeling like a normal layout keyboard really is straining me:

Of course, the Ultimate is actually a label-less keyboard, meaning the keys don't have inscriptions on them. You'd better be good at touch-typing to use it, because you won't be looking at your fingers. If you want your keys labeled, check out Das Keyboard's other models, specifically the Professional (also available…

Dude, didn't you read? He didn't have any luck, immense salary, free money, or "happy coincidence". He pulled himself up By His Bootstraps. He's a Self Made Man. He probably learned to read by stealing books from the master's house and a stub of candle from the overseer. He ran away at 14 and trekked on foot all…

I agree that the hidden start button was an improvement, and I'd like to generalize your complaint about Windows 8: there are too many things that can't be customized without downloading third party software. Offhand:

Are you suggesting a cover system and *pulling the camera into 3rd person* for a competitive first person shooter? That's absurd.

That's some Time Cube level gobbledegook right there.

You're looking for Quicken, I believe.

Gotcha; I was under the impression that "minimums" were around $300 (which was the BoA minimum last I checked). $1,500 per account would start to cause issues for me too, if my girlfriend and I started opening joint accounts. Thanks.

Question: Why are there so many articles (not just on LH) that focus on getting no-minimum checking or savings accounts? What's the attraction of this particular feature?

Of the maybe two dozen books I've bought from Amazon (mostly, I impulse buy books from brick & mortar stores), two were Matchbox eligible, of which one was fiction: American Gods (Neil Gaiman).

This is the winner.

I'll pop in to say that the BF4 beta was unplayable on Windows 7, but when I upgraded to w8, it ran like melted butter on teflon. Dunno what the problem with 7 is, and I assume that they'll fix it for release, but there's definitely *some* major difference in the way the OS handles games. BF4 is DX11 compatible, so…

Easy to say that when you have an awesome bike. . .

Oh, god, when I saw the still of Morgan Freeman in green with black eyes, my first thought was "Embrace eternity!"

You're providing a lot more detail in a much more matter of fact tone than a lot of the people who don't like the law. Could you elaborate on your situation, please? If you feel comfortable sharing, I'd be interested in seeing which plans specifically you're talking about, since your experience is definitely one of…
