Stupid stupid stupid. Here's why...

Have a family, and no camcorder. Our children will grow up just fine without being able to do action replay on every moment of their lives. A few low-res movies each year off of the P&S camera is more than enough for memories for us.

This is actually a nationwide issue! Think about it from the manufacturer's point of view... Making 2 different versions of a product, the logistics of shipping it all over the country to different places depending on standards. It's a lot easier to make one product that meets the higher standard and just sell it…

There is another solution not really discussed here or in the responses... live without so much data! Seriously, look at the various things you're storing on your disk, and ask if you really really need them and would be lost without them. You can pretty much cut it all down to a few GBs of photos and some essential…

I used a similar trick in my car... it has a tire pressure monitoring system, so in winter when I run snow tires on different rims, the flashing TPMS light on the dash gets really annoying. One piece of black electrical tape and I'm good until spring.

What about lemons? If they have that blue powdery mold on the surface, is it still OK to use the inside (e.g. for juice)?

This applies, except in situations where the very act of asking (even if the answer is no) can bring negative consequences down the road. E.g. asking for a raise, not getting it, and then being first on the firing list 6 months later because you're "that guy who's always asking for a raise".

Not applicable to everyone here, but other monthly bills that can certainly be negotiated downwards include:

Yes, that's how we were taught in survival class. Take a box of matches (Swan Vestas - the kind that strike on sandpaper), empty out all the matches then put them back in by layers, filling with molten candle wax between each layer. What you end up with is a solid block of wax with embedded matches. If you drop…

Good idea on the mobile sites. I use these for a variety of websites, even when using a reular browser, but had not considered it for banking or financial sites.

Big issue with automated payments (or any kind of online payment for that matter) is your debit/credit card details are stored on a company's database, and as we all know that can be hacked and your data end up in the wrong hands. I am currently still enrolled in "free credit monitoring" after just such a debacle at…

EWG has been roundly criticized by the Skin Cancer Foundation for using "Junk Science". Here's a recent peer review on the subject... [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] (paywall to see journal article).

Where to even begin?

Not liking the saw horse design. First because it looks like sawhorses (i.e. cheap temporary student desk), but second because it's not very functional - the "inner" legs impinge on the seating area quite a lot, restricting your ability to move left and right. We have a desk that is similar size, but with better…

Meh. Flipboard serves my needs pretty well. Any distinctions between that and Feedly?

Agreed, the upstate-NY/western-PA region is looking pretty sweet on that map. And like everyone else, I think the "safe" scores given to the entire west coast (cough... earthquake... cough) are silly.

Yeah, and the assumption that historical performance of the stock market will be repeated in the coming decades is blind or stupid or both. Peak oil, competition from BRIC nations, humongous debt, uncontrolled medical and social security spending, all point to a prolonged period of slow economic growth.

Amen to that!

My personal gripe is anything that adds background tasks during installation. My first task after installing anything is to go Start > Run > MSCONFIG and see what startup tasks were added. Typically Adobe adds abunch of updater or task/tray helper things, which are completely useless and hog memory.
