For me it's fucking Google Chrome, and I know I'm not alone. For a while, I thought it was my aging Macbook Air with its 90% full hard drive (and to some extent it is), but I've discovered that whenever things get mind-bendingly, rip-my-hair-out, cuss-at-the-computer, "my coworkers must think I have serious anger…

Don't forget home and auto insurance rates are based on credit sometimes.

I can see that formula applying to things like a fear of rejection or stage fright. But my fear of spiders is so knee-jerk that I freeze the minute I see one (or if it's on me I flip out like a ninja and make a total idiot of myself). There's no thinking involved—it's pure, ridiculous instinct. Am I looking at this…

You are right, overall tax revenue is at an all-time high, but that money isn't necessarily being funneled to any particular small group.

- 24% of the budget goes to Social Security spending- 37.9 million retirees, 2.9 million spouses and dependents of retirees, 6.2 million surviving children and spouses of deceased…

I don't pirate unless I have to; I have to a lot. I pay for Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Instant Video. When a movie/tv show I want to see isn't on any of these services I'm going to download that movie/tv show illegally. It's not because I don't want the creators of the movie/tv show to not get paid but rather because I…

Wait. Ted Cruz or Tom Cruise?

The tl;dr version - you're welcome. And btw, in five years, they'll probably come back and tell us the exact opposite of all this.

Update: Apparently so many of you want to play against Cepheus, you've taken down the site. It's been in and out—try checking back in a bit.

One rule of thumb for Garbage disposers is you rarely need more than 1/4 HP in a home. Why? Think about it this way:

It really doesn't make sense. When its considered a standard, then the employers should just charge more for the service and pay their employees with that difference.

In my experience, Linux allows you to modify every single aspect, including things that most users would never even understand, much less want to change. Windows does not allow as much low-level customization. But when it comes to the interface or how applications behave, it offers a much, much higher level of…

It's never been a MOTTO for windows designers, but it is a fairly accurate description.

The difference is with linux you have to research a whole day, make sure the change will work with whatever disto you have.

But then, after all of the bank manipulations a few years ago - I calculated that if I had put my money into a mattress fund instead of doing what all the experts said and putting it into a 401k - After factoring in inflation I would have had just about the same amount of money saved up. The fat cat bankers stole…

Not gunna lie, a product named "Patch My PC" sounds very much like crapware that could be advertised on TV to tech-illiterate viewers. Now, I'm not saying it is that, but the name just bears a striking resemblance.

Such as? I used demonoid back in the day, but never went back to it after they came back. Haven't found anything I liked better than TPB actually...

You're absolutely right for tax purposes, but for financial aid purposes it's still counted as income. See here: http://www.finaid.org/savings/retire…
