I am glad you mentioned that you need the Cat6 connectors as most people miss this. It is also worth nothing that the Cat6 connectors are much more difficult to wire than the Cat5E

I am fortunate enough to be able to ride my bicycle to work a few days a week. To me this is the best way to save money on the commute because I get to save money, around $5 a day, and I get exercise which keeps me more focused, productive, and I sleep much better at night.

I personally have never minded the sound of water dripping down a drain pipe. That being said, this is a clever idea, though I suspect it will increase the chances of getting a clogged downspout.

I have to sleep with the window open year-round, much to my wife's chagrin. Even when the skin temp on my feet is cold, my feet can be sweating. If I was to wear sock I would never sleep due to too much body heat.

I finally built an HTPC this last year. It functions mostly as an aggregator of content. Most of my media lives on a NAS. Previously I was using my PS3 to stream from the NAS, but was running into limitations on supported file formats and was not happy with the presented UI.

How well do these Smart Thermostats work with regards to pets in the house? Are the occupancy sensors on them able to ignore pets?

VOTE: Netgear WNDR3700

I have an easy way to get the benefit of a knot that won't come undone without having to resort to a double knot, as you describe.

The easiest analogy is a RAID 5 system. You write the data but you also write the parity information. Because of this you are able to recover data without all of the original bits being present.

I've been using the forearm trick for a few years. I could have sworn I first saw it on LH.

Well, I am still pretty happy about picking up GT5 for $20 at Walmart after Christmas.

I have seen some tests done with the power line adapters, and with a single client you will never get anywhere near the spec'd speed, however with multiple clients running off both adapters you should get much closer to the theoretical speed.

The man was amazing. I got the chance a few years ago to have a tour of his estate in Nova Scotia, including the telephone he installed in his house. Makes history so much more interesting to see where someone lived, and the lakes on which he set all the speed records.

My daughter wouldn't sleep at night for a very long time unless she was in a Bjorn, it was the best thing we owned for a few months. I would get home and take over from the wife who would go sleep, then 10 or 11 we would swap out again. A carrier is a life saver.

This was my first thought as well. Everyone talks about how much an hour of your time is worth, but most people forget that you can't assume every extra hour of time you get can be put to work to make any money. Infact, most people I know are more likely to spend money if they have an extra free hour in their day,…

It is hard to describe how horrific this was, I live in the city where this all took place, and it had a huge impact on the entire city.

All you would have to do would be drive a flat bed under one of the Montreal bridges and wait for it to collapse.

You do know that HDMI uses a digital protocol, which means that as long as the cable works, it will work a well as any other cable.

You can uninstall games without deleting the saved games. So if you have a bunch of games on disk that you probably won't play for a long time, just uninstall it. When you want to play it again, install and load the saved data.

Kobo's customer service is fantastic as well. Have a friend who took a Kobo ereader to Mexico for a couple month vacation. It was a dud, and they overnighted her a new ereader and told her to return the dud when she was back in Canada.
