I created some bar charts that work nicely with Javascript, but the software I need to implement this in is returning an error saying that document.write() has been disabled. The Google Visualization library I used to do it is, presumably, relying on that being available. Is there a way to...

Does anyone have a recommendation for an all-in-one travel adapters (for grounded plugs)? I've picked up a couple that have all failed me, often because they either can't hold the US plug or because they fall out of the outlet. I don't know why this is so hard to get right... am I really stuck...

I have a flight out of Boston at 6:30am on a Saturday. The first silver line bus gets there at 5:50, which is too late, I think. Are there any other public transit lines that would get me to the airport on time, or do I have to pay for a taxi?

Is anyone using a smart watch (particular one that is compatible with the Nexus 5)? They sound pretty cool in theory, but at the same time, they don't seem to be quite there just yet. I looked at the Pebble online and $150 is pretty reasonable for a watch with some extra features. I saw that the...

I figure this deserves its own thread. Plus, I'm having issues with the YouTube live stream ("An error occurred, please try again later"), which is really annoying... same happens with the feed from the white house (also hosted by YouTube).

I'm going to be in Toronto for a few days in November. My T-Mobile prepaid plan doesn't come with any international data add-on (no matter how overpriced), and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a prepaid data plan in Canada. I'm there for 4 days and would really just need data. I...

Never mind, I found the answer on Google+! Looks like it tags newly uploaded pictures as private by default, so this should work just fine.

I've just started commuting to work by bike after a long time of taking public transit (biking wasn't feasible). I bought the bike a couple days ago and have been biking about 5 miles each way to work -- I'm already feeling more in shape. Anyway, this is fairly encouraging and I'd like to keep...

Back in 2006, there was a pretty cool show about a team of lawyers taking on high-profile cases:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_(2006_TV_series) It only survived for one season (13 episodes). Best as I can tell, they never released the show on DVD. I can't find it on Amazon Prime, nor on...

Is anyone particularly happy with their carry-on luggage? I've bought a small one a long time ago, but Lufthansa managed to break it after making me check it... I had a 21'' that was supposed to conform with airline requirements, but when I stuffed it full, it was actually a little too thick...

I currently use wikinvest.com to check the performance of my investments. It shows, over various time horizons (e.g. last week, last month...), my investments' gains, dividends, fees, and my new contributions/withdrawals. It also compares the performance of my account with the Dow and the S&P...

I did quite a bit of conference travel this year, which should easily count toward a professional expense. Although it was not required, it's by and large expected - and, unfortunately, not fully reimbursed. Does anyone know if, for the purpose of a tax deduction, it matters when I spent the...

No idea where to post this, but I got a coupon code for a free large, one-topping pizza. (some ridiculous 2 million pizza giveaway...) First person to PM me gets it.

Has anyone booked a room through airbnb? I'm going to be in a town for a couple days where I don't know anyone, and I figure this might be an interesting alternative to booking a hotel. I found a place with a private room and I don't plan on spending much time in the apartment anyway. Also, it's...
