If you're moving your arm to move your mouse IIRC I've always been old that I should move my whole arm with the mouse. The idea being that it's a small movement for your elbow/shoulder but a much larger movement fo

Ouch. I probably shouldn't have spoken so absolutely. I've driven in most of the (Continental) U.S. but I've never been much North of Boston (i.e. Maine) or to some of the more desert regions of of the far southwest (Arizona

Depends on where you go. For instance, I've looked at driving Milwaukee to SF and would plan on doing it in 2.5 days. On the other hand, I've driven Chicago to Yellowstone and we took 4 days to get there. The biggest difference

Out of curiosity, how effective was that move at stopping spammers? It seems really easy to program a bot to create an account on the submission page, for example. Are spambots really that automated (and un-targeted) that a change so simpl

Personally, I have fallen in love with run-off elections (not sure the specific name) as used for electing the mayor in Chicago. Basically, there is an officially non-partisan election in which anyone qualified can be on the ballot. The vot

If you don't mind my asking, how did Chase mislead you about the awards available? I've had my Chase Freedom card for almost a year now and I love it, but I don't recall running into any sort of fine print issues so I'm curious what you ra

Another win for T-Mobile. I have to say, for all the negative things I've heard about them in past years, the more I hear about the company the harder I think about switching from Verizon. No contracts for service, they separated phone sub

I use their free 4G service now. Yes, there are 101 up-sells and add-ons that cost money. However, as long as you use that 5MB minimum none of them are surprises. The '$2 fee' you speak of is (as you implied) not so much a fee as 'recharg

I don't think the idea is to gain traction, but to be ready to switch to a non-addon model when the bubble bursts. Espn and HBO have set themselves up with excellent apps and web services. Right now they are (frustratingly) only available

I think part of this is CYA. CAN-SPAM (US) gives them 10 business days to stop the emails, so they allow themselves the full time. I've never gotten an email more than an hour or too after unsubscribing from legitimate emails. Edit: Altho
