This reddit article was a HUGE help! He links to another article he is working on that breaks down the bill sections and explains them point by point.

I kept hearing about how amazing Otterbox is, but the Defender just seems too big. I mean, you could encase your phone in a steel box and nothing will get to it, but at some point it becomes impractical. So I looked into the Otterbox commuter and liked the reviews. I picked it up on ebay for less than $20 and love…

I guess that is the bigger question, 1080p?

could any of these be turned into a viable HTPC?

what about fanless video cards? If you are going low power, you won't be maxing out your card. You could have a silent desktop. HTPC builders (my understanding is) so this all the time.

Maybe I'm confused. The water just passes through the coffee. Using less water doesn't necessarily make stronger coffee. It is how long the coffee brews, that is, sits there in the beans that determines strength. Doesn't it?

$25 a machine is insane. I'm curious how this works in an office environment.

doesn't this method delude the coffee quite a bit? He is pouring 8 ounces of coffee onto essentially 8 ounces of very cold plain water. As opposed to just have 16 ounces of brewed coffee.

My little girl, Lily (our first child), was born on on February 29th this year. 3 weeks and a day early. Nothing too bad, but we are Still in the NICU due to all sorts of complications. Your story feels familiar. We have now spent over 6 weeks at the hospital. But we finally are starting to see the light at the…

I had heard the absorbancy thing from a class my wife and I went to in order to learn more about cloth diapers. The lady leading that class was saying there is a certain about of build up that occurs with fabric softeners.

I was thinking the same thing. And I like how you don't get to see how much the bags get bounced around or crushed in the plane. It gets nicely and gently placed in the plane and then magically we arrive in New York with no bags on or around it. Nice.

I just picked up a 32GB with a case and a nice screen protector for $235 on ebay. There is a 16GB with case on my local craigslist for $200 right now. That is a nice 10 inch Android tablet for $200!!! You can still be lucky, just not AS lucky.

that's what I do. Unfortunately this last upgrade was out of necessity. Turns out one should not play in the sprinkler with their niece and nephew with one's phone in their pocket. Tried drying it out and everything and I think something fried in its ROM, it just wouldn't boot. So I had to use my upgrade that I…

I hate it when these deals come up and one is already stuck in a two year contract.

isn't WebOS open source? Could this get picked up by the open source community and continued development happen there?

I'm just taking a wild stab at it, never done it and not sure how to do it.

We use pine cones.

I know it depends on the box, but what is the power consumption difference between running a file server like this on an old computer verses just purchasing a pre-made NAS?

If someone can actually do this for $10 let me know. I can't figure it out. I got weights for super cheap at a garage sale, but the pipes alone are almost $20. Flanges are expensive!

Just my quick two cents: People don't think that they are douche bags. Everyone believes they are basically good people, even the really big douches. So when someone does something terrible to them it does not remind them of how bad they are but just takes the focus all the more off of them and puts it now onto you.
