TMo will (or at least used to) give you a range extender for free if you wouldn't get service in your residence. Probably not for prepaid though.

I've heard that argument too, but so does Rosewill and there are definitely some quality issues there; that's certainly up for debate though. Some might also call Filco overpriced, but I've certainly never heard that about a

Absolutely not. WASD Keyboards has reputation for impeccable build quality, reliability, and support. The combination of MX Clear switches (somewhat rare), backlighting, thick steel backplate, combined with the build quality put this in the

Has Netflix done live video on anything approaching this scale? I don't doubt that they have the capabilities to put a live streaming infrastructure together for something like this, but DTV's out starting next year and there&#x27

I can't fault MSFT for this at all. "Hey your systems have been vulnerable for a week; here's the patch!" just doesn't fly too well with major customers with very real needs for security. I personally don't m

It would probably be seen as anti-competitive if they licensed between business units for free.

That's legally useless without the details though.

There was the pretty major point made that Parker could not have legally applied for permits on this land , since it's privately owned land owned by the hotel that was hosting his wedding; the hotel should have.

For "normal" things I ended up slightly leaning towards Bing; for programming and technical searching it was Google by a mile.

Paypal was pretty revolutionary for its time. Not quite "cool sci-fi shit", but close, in perspective.

I challenged the adjustments to one of my returns and the most difficult part for me was finding a damn fax machine while I was on hold with a very helpful woman at the IRS. In the end they admitted they made a mistake (to their credit, an

Only if it's malicious or intentional. A mistake will be picked up and you'll get a form a year or two later asking you to accept or challenge proposed corrections. If less tax was paid than required you have to pay that + interest...which

I recently got a laptop with a decent multi-touch touchpad and was pleasantly surprised at how well the swipe and scroll gestures work with Windows 8. I get around quicker than using a real mouse and keyboard and it's fairly intuitive. On m

MD5? Unbelievable. I was relieved when I read salted and hashed on Evernote's blog post, but trying to sell MD5 as even remotely secure is actively idiotic. I'd rather get a "yeah we fucked up on the whole password storage thing" than "yeah

The thing with the whole "six strikes" thing is that there's no motivation to actually enforce it. Businesses generally will not turn away people willing to give them money, especially if their monopolistic market position allows them to

Also did this. Once a domain is looked up and in the local DNS cache it's fine, but the initial DNS lookup can get stupidly slow, especially on older hardware.

They're totally different styles of flow. I find Macklemore's flow to be much closer to a prose spoken word style of flow than someone like Nas, Eminem, or Jay-Z. It's tough, perhaps misleading, to compare given that.

Both at once is a difficult feat. Fitness is a long play though. Get stronger, then get leaner (caloric deficit), then get stronger, then get leaner... It works pretty well over time.
