    How are you feeling today?....

    I've been in a cloud of misery for a week now. Starting to reconsider my idea of weaning myself off of the pain killer tramadol. If I weren't so far along and gotten this far I probably would quit but I'll probably just see myself through it. My back pain, which I haven't dealt too much with...

    iPhone Connections

    There's been promotions over the years for Dropbox to raise your storage space for free. I've managed to get mine up to 26GB when I initially started with 2GB. The same is true for the other cloud services, got 50GB free for Google Drive when I got my HTC One M8 last month. SkyDrive started...

    iPhone Connections

    Couldn't you use Dropbox for this? Pop the files you want on your iPhone into the Dropbox folder, then use the iPhone Dropbox app to download those files and you can then import it to whatever app can use those files. I use this method for transferring files to both my iPad and my Android...

    Windows 8/8.1 is dying quickly, Why ?

    Yes, absolutely install 8.1. It is better for desktop computers, but it's always a good idea to stay on top of updates. They tend to contain security fixes and improve performance (sometimes.) Make sure Windows Update is set to run automatically and download updates when they're available so...

    Windows 8/8.1 is dying quickly, Why ?

    Basically Microsoft put all their eggs in the touchscreen basket and it didn't pan out the way they wanted it to. They envisioned the OS spurring sales of the Surface tablet and touchscreen monitors taking off, as well. It was a really bad call, even I could've told them that wouldn't work...

    Unarmed Missouri teen shot by police sparks outrage

    At this point, it's really too late for justice. There's too much unrest and violence. Now the leaders of the city are going to have to satiate the desire for blood. Even if the officer was found to be innocent or had a good reason, it's not going to fly and they're going to have no choice...

    Ingress Game

    I've heard of it a bit but don't play it personally because I don't get out much and if I did most of the rednecks around here wouldn't know what to do with a smartphone, let alone what an augmented reality game is about, so I doubt there's much of any activity nearby. It's probably a lot more...

    Did you notice another use for colored earmolds?

    With musicians, it's probably two-fold. They'll use in-ear monitors to help them stay with the rhythm of the music and not be distracted by outside noise, but also to protect from hearing damage as the speakers and amps are near them. In the past when it wasn't so much an option or popular...

    What are you thinking about Part VII

    For antivirus protection, all you need is the one Microsoft made. It's considered the best, is absolutely free provided you have a legit version of Windows (not pirated) and it has real-time protection. No subscription and it automatically updates the definitions for you. It's the ultimate...

    Deaf from birth...or? (poll)

    A really high fever caused damage to my hearing in both ears when I was 2 years old. It was SOP for KID Syndrome (the D is for Deafness.)

    Dog the Bounty Hunter going after fugitive MMA fighter

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was filled to the gills with steroids, which tend to make "alpha males" even more aggressive than men already can be with testosterone overload. It's like adding fuel to the fire, just not a good idea if you want to be a functional person in society.

    America's Love/Hate Relationship with Mexico and Mexicans

    It's not that there are a lot of Mexicans who are gardeners or in landscaping, it's that everywhere in America whichever the prevalent low-income minority will hold that job. In north Florida it's mostly rednecks who hold the gardening/landscaping jobs. In south Florida it's a lot of Latinos...

    Skyrim Vs. Oblivion

    When this thread was posted there probably wasn't a lot of mods for the game but there are a ton now. There are some handy ones, such as smarter followers (no longer die walking into traps, line of sight of your fireball, etc.) and the SkyUI mod is a must-have to make the menu system feel less...

    America's Love/Hate Relationship with Mexico and Mexicans

    Anthony Bourdain, the famous (or infamous, depends on how you feel about his views) globe-trotting chef has penned a post on his Tumblr that I thought was very poignant and worth reading. It deals with America's love and hate of all things Mexico, Mexican people, and Mexican culture. There...
