    But does it do federal AND...provincial(?) returns for free? I hate our lobbying system so much.

    Smartphones

    I don't think that's how push email works. My Exchange password expired over the weekend and it was only bugging me about it every 10 minutes. And that was probably for the account syncing, not the actual new email. However, if you implement that hamfisted approach, you'll be killing a lot...

    Wouldn't that kill the primary advantage of push email? I want to know when email comes in without having to look at my phone.

    Can't remember last time I needed to do a battery pull on my gnex. Don't miss the microsd slot either. Both antiquated pieces of technology(in cell phones), so get used to it. Or just complain each time a new phone comes out.

    Why ask us? Ask the AH. That's a trifecta amulet. Even if it is a tad low on IAS, I bet you could get some decent $$ for it on the RMAH. Silly me not noticing account bound.

    None at all? That's weird, I remember getting my Nexus 7 and all my apps(from the play store) loaded up. APN settings, screen timeout settings, everything. What do you have checked in "Backup & restore" in settings?

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    If employers are still paying for healthcare by the time I get old, I'm sure as fuck still working for as long as I can. See the healthcare thread.

    Define everything else. Apps and settings should be remember by your google account. Contacts too, IF you created them under your google account. If you had someone's phone number imported from your old phone under a carrier's app, and their email under you google account, and you just merged...

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    Interesting point. Power series sum of 1.07^X from 1 -> 18 is a multiplier of 36.37896. So, the per year cost would have to be ~27.5k for a total cost 1M by an age of 18. Which I think is about twice too high, but that obviously depends on your locale. If you're going to pay for private...

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    The per year costs were supposed to illustrate that your figure was way too high. Median family income is actually below $1M/18.

    Getting started in computer programming

    Job prospects are probably more dependent on where you're willing to live. Though, you do live in AZ, so you set the bar pretty low there. Boston and San Francisco/Silicon Valley are the big tech hubs. DC if you're willing to work for the government. I would say the hardware side of...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Most of the time, they come in the form of a USB A female to USB micro B male cable. Since I'm betting you don't have a standard USB cord with a USB A female end, the USB OTG cord allows you to plug things like memory sticks, external hard drives, keyboards, etc into your phone or tablet. You...

    Two weapons of the same base speed make it easy to hit breakpoints too. Honestly, the only other combo that works almost as good is a 1.4/1.2 combo. You get too much breakpoint divergence otherwise.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well, to be fair, the game actually never points it out. Unless it's on one of those loading screen tips that my SSD never lets me read. So, really, the only way for someone to find out, JUST playing the game, is to buy an item and watch with horror as their movement speed hits that 25% cap on...

    Counter point is that you're cooking it in the over longer, giving more time for juices and fats to seep out. I thought most high end places used only a salamander to cook steaks. I say cook it in the pan at the right heat to get crust on both sides and the middle medium rare at the same time.

    Good eats episode on cooking steak. First half is about buying a whole vacuum packed tenderloin and trimming it. But the second half can be applied to just about any boneless steak. And the steaks he cut look decently thick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shJz6mFN4tA

    What size are the steaks? You really shouldn't ever need to put a steak in the oven unless they are ultra thick. At which point, I would suggest butterflying them. You're resting your meat outside of the fridge for up to hour before cooking, right?

    I added the Good Eats episode in my response above. I haven't experienced cooked spinach that I deem acceptable, texture-wise. Now that I think of it, I don't much like raw spinach either because it reminds of chewing a sponge. However, I think cooked leafy greens are great additions to...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I don't know if it's NO value uncooked, but he is right that cooking leafy green vegetables will improve the nutritional value. Basically, our bodies have a tough time breaking down plant cell walls, which is where the nutrients are. Heat will damage the cell walls, thus releasing their bounty...

    Must Have Software

    I guess one other question: should I be worried about someone getting a hold of the database file(dropbox has been breached before) and decrypting it eventually? Yes, I could use the key file, but that seems like too much of an inconvenience.

    Must Have Software

    Ok, keepass it is. Does it encrypt the database itself, or should I get a different program to encrypt? Haven't even poked around in the program yet, so might be a dumb question. Now, to only convince my wife to use it too.

    Placement of buttons I'm not so concerned about, but I have done what you've mentioned a couple times. Especially when changing songs through my pocket. My only physical requirement for placement is that the headphone jack be on the bottom.
