That's what, 4 phones out of contract?

My mother taught me this trick when I was a kid and had a fever. Only, she had me start at a really high number — say 1000 — then subtract another number... usually something like 7 or 9. Calmed me down and put me out pretty quick. I still use it on occasion, if my mind's all over the place and I can't calm down to…

I use automysqlbackup for mysql backups. That's just how I roll.

If they're on the same network, you can map a smb share. That's basically what I do. All my storage is on my windows pc, and my linux machine maps \\WINPC\WinShare\ to /media/BACKUP, then I just rsync everything on the linux machine to /media/BACKUP without having to authenticate every time (it authenticates when it…

If the damn thing would just use my .nfo files, rather than try to scrape everything, it'd be a lot easier. Still haven't figured out how to convince it to do that.

Periods instead of spaces, you say.. Hmmm..... Maybe that's my issue, because my format is: "\Show Name\SeasonXX\Show Name - SXXEYY - Episode Name.mkv" or whatever. Interesting.

Has anyone ever successfully used a BoxeeBox for streaming local media? I ask, because I have one, and it's terrible. Some of my tv shows show up 2-3 times, some don't show up at all, some are duplicated... I know I'm doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.

[behealthyandrelax.com] says 2 months, but I'm guessing the type of cardboard in the image would 4-6 months. Not sure if this is buried tests, or not, but I'm not thinking longer than 6 months.

I'll just leave this right here.

I would love to find something that would allow someone to be sitting at the computer and using it, as well as allow a different user to access it via RDP. Is this something that would allow that, you think?

Wow. Some of those are absolutely beautiful.

I've actually been researching this for my own homebrew, and have come across a lot of awesome projects. Google search for "keezer collar" for a bunch of great ways to add taps without damaging the chest freezer and voiding the warranty. The only real changes to it are removing the lid and re-attaching it to a wooden…

I think they should be suing Verizon, AT&T, et al. since this is clearly something the carriers put in along with their other bloatware. Maybe this punch in the dick will get them to lift the obscene data limitations and charges (unlikely) and other monopolistic practices they think they have the right to perform…

So, what is going to happen to access of the service provided by Verizon if your XBox is hacked, since they refuse to allow your xbox to be online at any point on live at the very moment you report the issue. "Sorry, you're fucked for the next 3 months while we investigate and refuse to provide any information"?

So my father just recently purchased a laptop and digital camera (and is on facebook; if you knew him, mind = BLOWN!). He's running in to issues with emailing the photos to people — friends, family, etc. What's happening is he's taking pictures in this super high resolution, resulting in giant image files. Is there a…

No, thank you for a great article. I thought I was losing my mind... which wouldn't be the first time.

Only one book a month? I didn't see anything on Amazon's FAQ page about that, but I may have overlooked, and I did hear the same from someplace else (not sure if it was Gizmodo or another site). Any linkage to back that statement up? That may be the deal breaker I was going to pose to my wife... we've been looking at…

If you really want to buy it, you can gift it to me.. :D

Brilliant. Fucking. Move. I now need a Kindle. :\
