Another thumbs up for Anker - I bought a battery for my S3. I was having issues with light to moderate use with my OEM battery and replaced it and I got two days of light use out of it. For me, that was better than the OEM battery I replaced.
And you can forget about converting my iphone using wife. She's laughing her ass off.
Apple has done this too and will probably happen to her if she has the phone for a while. I still remember a major iOS update making my old 3G slow & unusable and breaking bluetooth.
Changing your daily habits permanently is the way to go. I always overhear conversations saying someone lost weight and it came back right away. Well sure, they fell back into their old habits!
A $700 smart phone is, too. Here in.us, a lot of the price is buried in your 2-year contract, so people see it as a $200 smart phone.
My phone is getting old now, and I was thinking about replacing it. I'm on an older cell phone plan that [right now] is cheap considering what I get. I found out that if I want a new phone under contract I have to go to one of the "new" plans, and if I want to keep the same service level I have now, is $50 a month more. Add to that I still have to pay $200 upfront for the phone. The terms are all 24 months now, so that means that $700 phone actually costs $1400.
When my phone finally goes I'll just buy one outright.
Speaking of cassettes, I still remember the clunk/click when I shut my car off. My new (at the time) Pioneer cassette player in my car had a key-off pinchroller release to prevent the tape from getting frozen to the head.
why antilock braking systems controlled by computers are universally derided as dangerous,
I've driven a car that had its antilock brake system decide the car was stuck in a skid when it wasn't. Which of course greatly increases your stopping distance. I nearly hit someone else in front of me, the only reason I didn't hit them is I swerved to the shoulder and was half in the ditch. Had the antilock brakes not interfered I would've stopped safely with lots of time. I'm just glad it wasn't a pedestrian crosswalk when that happened. I've been against them since then.
Since then I've stuck with my 30 year old car. Nothing fancy, it just works. And dammit, when I step on the brakes it actually applies them!
I learned today that there was a disagreement among Christians as to when their god was born. If one group follows one calendar and the other group follows a different one, and they both say December 25th, who was right? I find that kind of amusing.
If you have an infinite number of systems to log into, how many dongles is optimal, and how do you keep track of which dongle to use with which system?
Taped to the monitor, right next to the sticky note with the username/password!
I've just done a few manual installs of Office 2013 and I did not have to set up a Microsoft account during the install procedure, but I actually install media and a volume license. When I installed it manually it doesn't even ask for a license, I had to add it afterwards.
You can disable First Run via GPO, and you can block signing into office online with a GPO. You can also disable prompting to sign in online while saving.
Install the Office 2013 GPO Templates and use: User Configuration->Policies->Administrative Templates->Microsoft Office 2013->Miscellaneous Set "Show OneDrive Sign In" to Disabled Set "Block signing into Office" to Enabled, choose "None allowed" from the dropdown
I've tested this, it completely removes saving to the cloud as an option from the Save As dialog.
For the First Run Wizard, use: User Configuration->Policies->Administrative Templates->Microsoft Office 2013->Privacy->Trust Center Set "Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run" to Enabled.
This will not give the user the option to change update settings, presumably you'd have update policies set up using group policy anyway.
If this is for a standalone user, I would imagine there's no option to do this (unless you went in through the UI and disabled it manually.)

My answer would be to just leave the damn devices at home.

Maybe he works for Nvidia and that's how this mess got started?
No kidding. I'm surprised there aren't foot pedals to access the extra mode keys.

Lucky you, mine times out all the time and thinks it's not connected to the internet. Then voila, 25 seconds later it seems to have connectivity.
It helps if you do an "emerge --sync" first!

I was wondering if he could restore to a save point when something doesn't work...
Well, at least it has PowerShell. Heck, now it's only 23 characters to change a directory? Who wants to go back??
ChangeDirectory -Please <Directory>

My old VCR while rewinding:

Lost a few tapes to that one.
Evian is a bottled water brand here. Read the word backwards, I don't think that's a coincidence...
Next innovation: The Google Glass Helmet! Battery problem solved, just wrap your whole head with batteries!
It's good for Microsoft, especially when they make you bend over...

I played a game yesterday, but it wasn't on the new consoles. I played a game on my xbox 360 and it signed into live with no issues yesterday morning.
I was surprised to read the xbox live went down, as I was using it yesterday!
Sure they'll follow your "rules" when you are around.
If you put a camera up when you are not around, your cats will be going to places where you don't want them to. They're funny that way.

That would work if you don't want to use Netflix on the BD player. GP says when network/Sony's server's are down apps don't work on the BD player...
It doesn't matter what the publishers say, Google will have to comply until the law is changed. I'd be rather surprised if that happens quickly.
Global TV streams them next day (or two days?)
You can't record it?
