What about the extra time you have to spend buying a new tube of tooth paste. Assuming you are already going to the store for other items, you likely don't need to go down the toiletries isle. The time to walk down an isle, look at all the available toothpastes, find the one that is the best $/mL and so on takes one…

I have had really good experience with the TP-Link routers, and they have a dual band Wireless-N router for under $100. It is the first router I have ever had that hasn't needed manual reboots at least once every few months.

My biggest problem with warts is that I get them on my feet and they are under massive callouses, it makes any treatment somewhat useless until I can get rid of the callouse.

The media PC build in the article is almost identical to what I built a year ago, except I used a low end Intel Pentium processor.

I have been to the Alexander Grahm Bell museum in Badec, and it is amazing the number of inventions he came up with. The highlight was we got a tour of the Bell Estate, including the house and climbing up the hill to his burial site.

All very good tips, however the headline is incorrect.

I don't know when I last played music from my desktop. All my music listening is either on my phone, or through a media streamer, local and internet.

I keep trying to convince my wife of naming our next child, who will be a boy, Sullivan, of Uncharted fame.

Overall a good list, though I don't agree with ditching RPG's outright. In the last 6 weeks I managed to play through Mass Effect 2, my first game of the Mass Effect Universe, on Normal just with a couple hours each evening. Now I am starting Mass Effect 1 which will follow with another run through ME2 then ME3. I…

I can support this choice. There are very few things that need to be learned. The issues with it for me is that doing more advanced tasks within Lua can require a bit more creative thinking an planning, due to the limited feature set.

Ride bike to work (30 km round trip) every work day. Last year I was riding 2-3 days a week but am upping it this year so that my wife, who will be on maternity leave soon, can use our single vehicle.

I do the same, a very simple sandwich most days of the week. If there are left-overs I will bring them. Usually I have opted to have lunch at a local Mexican place once a week, but discovered that all my body wanted was something other than the sandwich one day a week. My solution was to make a big pot of chili,…

Hope my dad can find a used one to tow his boat with.

You are correct, Windows is using the PageFile. After posting I opened up the Resource Monitor, and whenever I switched to a program that wasn't one of the most recently used, the disk usage went way up as it was loading from the page file.

I disagree with your assertion based on my experience of a sample size of one.

I have a Cuisinart panini press that has removable plates, the best part about it is the set of waffles plates we got for it. It is a larger cooking surface, but I wouldn't be surprised if they make a smaller dimensioned one as well.

A solid head light is fantastic for biking in dim to dark conditions. A flashing head light is much more visible to drivers. I prefer to use a combination. One flashing light to be see, and one solid light to see with.

Yeah, $1000 - $3000 is definitely mid range.

Thank you for saying this!

The last few laptops I have owned have had 14" screens. I find it is optimal for the trade-off between usability and portability. It doesn't hurt that 14" laptops usually have a full size keyboard as well.
