We have these old glass grids in the sidewalks along College Ave up here in Fort Collins as well. Some are even still in use by restaurants to load inventory from the Cysco / Shamrock trucks.

I used to work for HP and someone explained to me a select few companies got /8's when the internet was still young. HP got one, Compaq had one which HP now also owns. I was basically told if you had a /8 you didn't give

Just curious, why single out Paint.NET exclusively? These types of ads have a long history all over the Internet, even on more popular sites than this - isn't this more of a Google issue than an individual website operator?

This was my impression as well, especially since the Speedtest.net screenshots show each test was done on WiFi. It seems to me the author has a very loose technical understanding of WiFi and networking in general. I'll usually be among

I'm not sure I understand their use of "large edge providers" in this context - are they insinuating that backbone providers such as Level 3 are already collecting my web traffic when they peer with my ISP? Or is that just a

I had no idea this is a widespread concern. Over the course of years, I have kept every box and the shipping materials under the presumption that I would reuse it all at some point. Only flaw in my logic is that I order way more stuff than

I've gotten Amazon packages like this here in the US, but it's not a frequent occurrence. I prefer this method because aside from the shrink-wrap, everything else is recyclable cardboard.

Something like those battery powered Finger Pulse Oximeters that doctors use comes to mind; they use light to measure oxygen levels and heart rate, and they're super cheap at $10-$30.

I used to have a LS120 SuperDisk drive in my computer. I really liked the idea but it was useless because no one else had them. I think I still have the drive and several disks stashed away somewhere.
