"Thanks to a wide variety of mature commodity hardware choices, plus infinitely and perpetually updated open source router firmware, I'm happy to report that now everyone can have a great router." No, not really. When's the last time his mo

I'm in the same boat. Right now I drink diet soda with aspartame (max 2 cans per day) but I'm not convinced it is without risk. I try to avoid HFCS as well as limit my sugar intake. I've done a bit of research on various sweeteners and have

Wow. I live in the Midwest so housing is dirt cheap compared to other places, but half a million dollars for ANY house seems insane to me, let alone this "small" one he's talking about. I don't have any sympathy for him. I also don't unders

This is exactly it. I am certainly technical enough to run Linux (and have in the past) but there's no real good compelling reason for me to use it. I don't get malware on Windows and, believe it or not, things hardly ever crash. And you kn
