I haven't been to a comedy club in 15 years but in my opinion a large part of the fun is actually being at the club. (And the over priced, 2 drink minimums) I do applaud these perf…

The best part of this anecdote is that you mentioned Banyan Vines. Spent a handful of years installing/maintaining Banyan Vines network in the early 90's.

I recommend the following book that details the U.S.S. Indianapolis. In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors by Doug Stan…

Try buying a PS4/PS3/Xbox controller. There is a good chance it is a good looking fake. Apple accessories are another hit or miss target.

I assume Surface.

Yes, but ONLY if you get the Suck via the new Microsoft store.

173K Songs since Nov 2004. http://www.last.fm/user/GurnB But I took 4 or 5 years off.

Pete Frame's book are very fun to read. Good luck finding them. My first introduction to Pete's work was from a poster that was included in a Paul McCartney Box set for Flowers In …

I've had better response from @amazon than contacting them directly. My normal method now is to post first, then contact them directly. Direct contact has become their Tier 0 suppo…

Only speaking as an IT professional that has spend a couple of decades working in various distribution environments. If you are a pool manager in a warehouse this is a real problem…

That is certainly one way. If Amazon is getting product from multiple suppliers, they can easily taint their inventory with a single bad vendor. Then there is always the human elem…

I understand the difference between SOLD by Amazon, and Amazon doing fulfillment. Products SOLD by Amazon are still not 100% guaranteed legit. That being said, I have not had any p…

Buying from Amazon is NOT a guarantee of authenticity. Popular items such as PlayStation controllers & Beats Headphones have a bad reputation for being knock offs.

This. I don't think you can fly direct out of IND to anywhere without going through ORD. And if I had to guess, to fly from IND to ORD I bet you have to route through DET. Obviousl…

I was surprised to find how much the sounds of the engine added to my general enjoyment of the racing.

Thanks for the advice. I've sure we already have all of these in the house, (2 kids now 16 & 22), but with so many to choose from, I was looking for a good jumping in point.

Somewhat unrelated....If I've never played a Zelda game, what would be a good starting point in the series?

No, it is a sign of choice/design.

Living in a Reds/Cubs/White Sox blackout umbrella here. Which VPN service are you using if you don't mind me asking?

Fully agree. I would love to see a modern version (complete with control wheel) in HD with smooth frame rates. Still have found memories of sitting in front of an RCA XL-100 consol…

I just played AoE II (HD) on my MacBook Pro this weekend while stranded in a Hotel. What am I missing?

Getting the same results from my laptop at the moment also. Everything is returning 'Nothing Found' Error. It was working earlier today. (Can you tell it is Friday?)

Now this would be an interesting collection of data to analyze. Is the #7 lunch special Beef with Broccoli in more than 90% of the menu's?

> Pretty much every one of these deals turned into a financial disaster. The biggest of these was probably Mariah Carey, who ended up being paid $28m not to sing I worked in the en…

This just reminded me that my first PC was an AT&T 6300. I hadn't thought about that machine in years.
