Agree 100%. If you're going to bother to do security, strive to be the best or let someone more competent do it.

"The natural progression is that we will always be on the bottom of these tests. And honestly, if we are doing our job correctly, that’s what will happen."

That very well could be true, my point and shoot was probably circa 2009-ish. Still though for me it doesn't trump a camera I always already have on me, plus WiFi =/= cell data. It's certainly a step in the right direction, but if I'm on vacation and something happens to my phone, I know that I at the least didn't…

I used to have a Canon point and shoot, but the cost and convenience of my smart phone finally caused me to get rid of it. The quality still isn't as good as my Canon, but my smartphone is always with me, with the added addition of GPS geotagging and data (instant backup via Dropbox/BitTorrent Sync and sharing…

You're correct, she mentioned that to me after she saw my post.

My girlfriend actually just did an interesting project for her yoga room by wrapping a nice fabric around a piece of cardboard she cut out.

This I do not know. There is also a version for OS X and I've seen an Android live wallpaper based on it, so possibly?

I've been using Skyrockets ever since I saw it in Ubuntu. Great screensaver that I get a lot of compliments on.

I'm sorry but denying someone funds for almost a month deserves a higher priority than simply being on an FAQ. The only thing I can see them having an issue with is the fact that I don't sell on Ebay often, as I fit all the other criteria and have had my bank account linked with them for years. I understand they need…

I'm not sure I would consider having the explanation buried in some FAQ on their website as "up front". Up front is having that explanation right on the page in line with order information. I probably could have found out why, but I didn't really need the money that badly and was busy with other things (full time…

That's not true. They may be the same company, but I can send money via Paypal without even dealing with EBay. Granted I can't use EBay without using Paypal, but I can choose to sell things on Craigslist and Amazon instead.

As someone who works in support, I can tell you that throwing a tantrum is a guaranteed way of getting shitty service. I completely understand being frustrated, but there is definitely a line where being disrespectful is going to not make me want to work very hard for you. I'll bend over backwards for good customers.…

I've never had to call Delta for service help, but I would have to imagine they would cut you some sort of break in that instance. If not as for a supervisor and see what that will get you. I always fly Delta (Detroit is a major hub) and I find them to be much better than every other company I've flown with.

Agreed, I only use Ebay to sell and buy things a few times a year and it seems like everytime I do they end up holding my money for 21 days. It's really to the point that I simply don't want to use Ebay anymore due to Paypal.

This is really nice, it'll help if I ever forget my calculator somewhere. To bad we can't use it in class...

Looks like the literalnet is out in full force today...

Discovered this when I had Trigonometry homework last semester. It was insane how motivated I was to do just about anything that wasn't my homework. My room was spotless, laundry done, and organized most of my stuff, but the grade on my first test reflected what I put into it...

Yeah my iPad use is rather sporadic and I'm pretty locked into the Android/Google ecosystem so I was actually considering selling it and using the money towards a Nexus 7. It's in decent condition (and signed by Leo Laporte, for what that's worth), so I feel $150-200 would be realistic terms to get back.

I'm in the same boat with my iPad 1. Trying to decide if it's worth keeping it or selling it while it's still worth something.
