Comment There are only 2 kinds of Micro USB plugs, however (Score 1) 116

The ones that will stay in for a little while longer, and the ones that immediately fall out. If you are lucky, the problem with the latter ones will be in the plug, so you can just pay for a new cable. Otherwise, you're out of luck unless you have a professional surface mount soldering and desoldering station.

Comment Hey Guys... (Score 1) 183

So, I had Shredded Wheat for breakfast, and turkey on rye for lunch. Here are the latest photos of Bob, my golden retriever: www.bite.me/now. My current status is: Cynical * 100. So, it looks like y'all are up to speed. I guess I won't install that Facebook app after all. Sorry Zuck, you can't have my contacts, my credit card #s, or my bank records, and I don't really need any more ads for non-gmo milk for that shredded wheat, or Alpo for Bob, but thanks anyway.

I assume you mean the parable where a frog sitting in water that is slowly heated won't notice it until it is too late, but one thrown in the hot water will immediately jump out. Someone in the Harvard Biology Department actually tested this, and it works the exact opposite way. If you throw a frog in boiling water, it will die instantly. If you put them in cold water and heat it, they will get uncomfortable and jump out.

Comment Depends if the Spinning Wheel of Death will let me (Score 1) 239

My one Windows 10 PC, a laptop, just received an automatic update and is now in the Spinning Wheel of Death. The one nice thing about the Spinning Wheel of Death is that it prevents it from booting up and receiving more shitty updates from Microsoft. What a P.O.S. My Windows 7 machines employ active measures to prevent them from being infected with Windows 10.
