    I'll give it a try, will post a screenshot of the overall stats when I get home.

    Shouldn't you be digging up some WebMD article by now? Perhaps you should make the assumption that the OP has already tried talking to his child. Kids are stubborn, who knew!?!?! Sometimes talking doesn't work.

    If my kid could find a way around a MAC id ban from a password protected router, he/she is free to use all the internet he/she wants.

    I'm new to this, so perhaps I don't understand terms that well, but I don't think where I would be drilling/cutting would be near the sill plate. The foundation doesn't come up that high. The wall I would ideally like to put the wall jack has joist(s?) running parallel underneath it. I'll...

    I got into the cycle at the "wrong" time. It's still cheaper than continuing to pay VZW, but I plan to buy new phones only when the current Nexus line get discounted to move inventory in preparation for the refresh.

    No way bro, way too easy to influence your own bet. Just mention cell theory, abiogenesis, and evolution and he'll go off. I've been playing this a bit for the first. While I hate the RNG aspect, I understand it's the nature of the game. But it's a really easy game to play while feeding...

    Yes, I've limited my upload and download speeds to half of my pipe's speed. Max 500 global connections.

    You're on the wrong end of yearly product cycle. The N5 came out in November. Battery life has been great for mine so far. Granted, I probably use mine MUCH less than other people and I shut off the cell radio when I'm at home. But, I didn't need to charge it over the weekend and that...

    Was this on wifi? How much per month does your seedbox cost? I do agree, sometimes when downloading a torrent near the speed cap(which I've put at 50% of my pipe's cap), it will still cause the rest of the internet to go to shit. Steam can easily max out my actual pipe and it has no effect...

    So...exterior walls, how do I do them? My TV is in a place where the closest interior wall is, by cable run, ~20 ft away. I took a look underneath the exterior wall in question and there's at least 1 joist in the way.

    This is related to my post in the Home Improvement thread, in case anyone reads both threads. I've seen a lot of people post that they can't stream 1080p over wifi, and I would agree with them. It seems going from my desktop(802.11n, 2t2r) to my router to my boxee(802.11n 1t1r) with 720p can...

    Nah, it is possible to be overweight/obese/morbidly obese/whatever and have normal cholesterol and triglycerides. Both of those stats are influenced by how you're currently eating and it's possible for someone to be fat, eating well, and just struggling to lose weight. It's not common, fat...

    Wow, huge difference between the ones you have pictured and the one Ortega listed. How important is it to have a quality punch down tool or can I get by with a cheap one that comes with a patch panel(pictured)? One more attempt at the shopping list: Also, can't figure out if...

    Thanks for pointing out the tool requirement Ortega. I didn't see anything on the monoprice website about needing one. I was worried that I would require a patch panel and two different types of cord to do this the "right" way. Much more money than I was intending spend to just fix my desktop...

    $80 for a box of solid, $84 for a box of stranded. What do you mean, I can use it for other stuff?

    IDK, I've read that stranded works better for the RJ45 plugs because the standard ones pierce the copper. You'd really get the 1k box? What would you do with it afterwards? No way I need that much cabling, not even close. Yes, there's cat6, but from what I've read, it's essentially being...

    At the very least, I make sure the nutrition facts states cooked or uncooked, otherwise I ignore it. I usually go with USDA nutrition facts or the product I bought, if they have it.

    Wondering if someone could check my shopping list to see if I'm buying the right stuff. Originally, I just wanted to run ethernet cable from my desktop to the router but now I've decided to spend a little more and do it(and most of the other rooms) properly I have a drywall saw on my...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Hoss' misunderstanding aside, his bewilderment is still valid. I still don't how any of you accept this as a common occurrence. If drinking whiskey or coffee causes you to have to disinfect the entirety of your toilet each time, I'd say it's time to stop ingesting those things and go see a...

    I don't understand your last paragraph. That sounds like support for a virtual keyboard. Do you expect that having to go back and correct your "typoes" will eventually make you better? There's a certain limit you're going to hit and that limit is pretty much dictated by the size of your...

    Ban her MAC id from the router. She can't complain because it will imply she was trying to use the internet when she wasn't supposed to.

    Or, maybe it was designed with the assumption that the user would shut it off once a day, thus forgoing the programmers from having to fix any slow memory leaks. Which do you think sounds better, that, or magical fairies eating your wifi signal?

    Did you cook a pizza in a cast iron pan? How did that not burn the crust before the cheese browned? Wish I could go back in time and kill whoever invented Monterey Jack cheese. Bland, waste of space cheese. It wasn't a little dry? Didn't see any sauce. Even white pizzas have some oil...

    Curmudgeon. You're not going to get a taskbar like desktop OSes have. Screen space is just too valuable to devote to something like that. Besides, one press of a dedicated button and you have what you want.

    Unitasker!!! Unless you get to them right away, garlic presses, even the reversible ones can be a sticky bitch to clean. I'm not joking about the unitasking part. My kitchen space is relatively limited and garlic presses tend to be bulky. I already got a knife and chopping board and know...

    You've never thought to yourself "maybe this is a problem I should fix"? Even for the convenience of not having to clean up after yourself? Just encountered another one: the lonely TP clump. No piss in the bowl, no turds, just lots of TP and maybe a few are smeared. I understand flushing...

    Did you try any of the third party apps for Android? I've used SwiftKeyX for years and I've never had a problem with it, nor has heard anyone say something bad about it. What exactly do you mean by "active task management"? As in, the apps you have open and running? That's been pretty...

    Well, yeah, if it was stank or cologne, I'd go with cologne. I'm an engineer, so most people here shower daily. There's just no smell then. Speaking of personal hygiene, people that destroy toilets. At least once a week, the underside of the toilet seat will be generously speckled in shit...

    Guys that wear cologne/axe/whatever to work. Just to be an equal opportunity hater, perfumed women at work is almost as annoying. Unless the woman is attractive. And the scent is unopposing. Maybe guys just suck at applying cologne and put way too much on. Sometimes I can't smell my...
