I had an Audi that required the engine to be removed to replace the starter. Good thing it was almost new and thus covered by warranty. People wonder why German cars are so cheap used. High cost and frequency of repairs make their value eva

The main reason why the auto makers had a hard time was the global recession. Unions had exactly nothing to do with it.

Certainly not tech related, but Sara Blakely started Spanx with $5000 when she was 27. Her company makes women's underwear. She's worth $1 billion. Pretty good result for someone who used to be a door-to-door salesperson.

While this has nothing directly to do with the OP, but there's an assumption of cleanliness amongst everyone I know. If it looks clean, it must be clean, right? 100% completely wrong. Simple casual observation of people exiting restroo

Largely an article devoid of content. He sums it up by saying. "The next successful massively multiplayer online game, whatever that is, will have to be innovative, it will have to be more compelling than collection quests, and it will

Yes on both counts. Media consolidation led to lots of layoffs and belt tightening, and the internet just made things worse. Journalism in this country has become a bit of a joke, and that's all on the lack of oversight by lawmakers. T

This is a top-end board...$250+. You can get the same hardware at a much lower price point - $125+. It won't have the giant dust shield, extra power phases, or gamer LAN, or access points on the board for voltage testers, or no thunder

I left Windows 10 months ago because they have real show stoppers that shouldn't exist. In my case, my network interfaces vanished and couldn't be reinstalled or restored. A PC is not much more than a fancy lump of coal without ne

This is a bit naive. AMD hasn't been competitive with Intel for almost a decade...there's nothing recent about that. AMD doesn't keep Intel's prices down, the market does.

MS has really gone downhill over the past few years with badly designed software and shockingly broken patches. The anniversary update set all the permissions in my registry so it couldn't be written to, and there was no way to fix it.
