I had the same experience with Verizon. I told them that I loved Fios, but I was moving to an area without service. They didn't give me any grief.

Can I ask how you found your broker?

I really hope they do, but be aware that this date keeps changing. The last time I checked this page, it was spring 2016.

There's a board game called "Robot Turtles" that's designed to teach programming concepts to kids. I was initially pretty skeptical, but our preschooler loves it.

I'll just add that even if you are able to perform superhuman feats of parenting and coding simultaneously, you will eventually get burned out. I was able to handle both for quite …

I saw it in the theater as a BBS-addicted kid, and I remember being just completely blown away by his setup. I'd never seen an 8 inch floppy before. Here's a rundown of his gear, f…

We've been with Rackspace since 1999, but I'm getting concerned about the future of the company. Can anyone recommend a comparable managed host for Windows?

The context seems to have been lost in the shuffle. Here's what I was responding to: >I have a brother that works in a pretty normal job earning $42,000 per year (not an outsized s…

>he pays $27 per month for his health insurance through his employer, and it's a nice plan. This is really an outlier. The US average for employee premiums is $104/month for indivi…

I spent the last decade living in a struggling city, and I was actively involved in city government. In my city, it was a case of limited resources more than anything else. There w…

My house was built in the 1780s, but is well-insulated, has modern wiring and plumbing, etc. If you have a well-maintained home, the age of the structure is mostly irrelevant.

I'm self-taught, and I've been playing guitar for 25 years or so. If I hadn't picked it up as a teenager, I doubt I'd have gotten as far with it. I was obsessed with reproducing th…

This probably varies by genre, but I've found that if you add "pdf" to your search, you'll often find high-quality handwritten sheet music, sometimes with tablature. I've also foun…

The same is true of other older BMWs. I've owned four, and my E30 was still the best.

Yeah, I was really confused as to how a 67 year old could be the founder of Visa.

Snowfall aside, I think most New Englanders will still relate to 1978 as a more severe winter given the number of fatalities.

Honestly, everything is more difficult when you have kids - showering every day, for example - but the flip side is that it's a total procrastination killer. There are no more wast…

Agreed, and it's so subjective. I was a long-time Apple keyboard user (I had the flat chiclet board for years), and struggled with whether a mechanical keyboard would be too loud, …

I sincerely hope that this post is an awful joke, because the way in which you're talking about your girlfriend is appalling. If this isn't a troll, then it sounds to me like your …

Great. Your website says, "Response times from our Support team are fastest from 9am-6pm ET, Monday thru Thursday. Support requests submitted outside those times may receive delaye…

3D printing reminds me so much of the early days of personal computing - it was an expensive hobby for techies, the equipment was hard to configure, and the everyday (practical) us…

I absolutely love this: > Are Pinegrams really made from pine? They're actually made from domestic Maple plywood, but the MapleGram domain name was already taken so I had to settle…

You're right. I issue refunds all the time, and this should be no different.

Their site was up and running, receiving traffic for the duration. >Would you get your money back if you called up the cable company and said, hey sorry I didn't watch TV for the l…
