Rule #1 - Tip well, with no connection to how much you spend. Tip based on the time you spend there.

The Zune did sounds really good, up until the day it turned itself into a brick. Before the cause of the one-day bricking was known, I'd already tossed it so hard against a wall it would never work again.

Now, finally, can we get a renewed focus on Dropcam (outdoor camera, dash cam, microphone accessories for adjacent/large rooms, improved website, local storage option)?

On Android (both Android Browser and Chrome), battery information is accessible. http://caniuse.com/#feat=battery-status I believe there's a similar option for iOS Safari, but I can't find it immediately.

Wal-Mart has to fix their shipping process. After much nagging about my failure to replace old with new, I ordered a new collection of underwear, undershirts, socks and gym shirts and shorts. I used Wal-Mart's site for it, since they

Amazingly, there's a feedback mechanism built in where you can report this and they'll follow up.

This certainly seems spammy and useless.

Doesn't ITRF2008 and (to a lesser extent) WGS-84 give you what you want?

Did they ever drop the "Strengths Finder" testing? It was the oddest part of my interview there - they found I'd not taken it before flying out and put the entire process on pause to have me take it, only to find the results

Additional metadata - a tweet could attach to a specific URL, which the URL owner could reject if needed. So, I could build a post form on my site to submit a tweet that shows as a comment, or you could use the API to attach a comment to m

I wonder, if part of the pre-weeding process, if books proposed to be disposed could be run through Amazon's system for sale. If sold within a certain window, then they go on to a new, more useful life. If not, they head to the dumpst

I suspect the risk of a paying customer getting kicked off the system is far lower than a driver who provides an off-brand experience.

They do have a rather large collection of actual employees. Their drivers, however, are not.

Easy solution to that problem: Solicit a tip, get 1 star. Uber is far more likely to keep me around as a passenger who pays the published rates and uses them frequently than a driver who continues to generate complaints from users due to t

I've got an XPS 13 which has a similar form factor to the 12" MB (304mm x 200mm vs 281mm x 197mm) and love it as well for all my tasks. The key is the screen - pack in a reasonable number of pixels and it's perfectly usable.

The friendly smile is key. I was working on a project at an airport - I had something like a six hour layover and set up at a nice table near the food court - I noticed I was being watched and smiled back. The kid came over to me and asked

Agreed. In addition to "codes of conduct" that seem to assume all attendees are lecherous, racist rapists some conferences step outside their focus and end up turning away potential attendees. For example, this military member w

I had a similar problem - I was around 7.8%. I refinanced (with Earnest, though SoFi and others provide similar service) and got it down to 4.71. Increased my payment a bit, and cut my term down by more than a decade. Now, just 117 more pay

Wow. To stress the amazing level of customer service, someone there just ran across my comment and reached out - noting that my pricing was set for an older structure, updating me to a far more competitive rate and offering a retroactive cr

I'm not going to deal with the paywall, but is the "higher tax bill" the result of "actually paying taxes on your income"? If so, I'm not sympathetic.

Any thought of supporting Django? Deployment is one of the more off-putting things there; looks like this approach could greatly simplify things.

I've been a customer of theirs for a long while and will note that their customer service is amazing. They helped implement what I needed and offer support anytime I need. Now that S3 has matured and prices have continued to drop, tho

They do. I bought my XPS 13 (9343) through the Microsoft Store because they had a rather significant discount and then called Dell to add on an extended next-business-day onsite warranty. Just like with the Lenovo, when I had a key get stuc
