Pointless Deaths In Oklahoma.... Again

robspeakman @robspeakman (1700) 20 May 13

As tragic as the devastating tornado was in Oklahoma, I can't help feeling that if homes were built from brick and people didn't live in trailers, then we would not see this waste of life every year. I would say 99% of homes in...

jdawg011 The more disappointing thing to me is that they had tons of advance notice, and they kept the school running. That is just sad. Goes to show they really don't value human life much there.

Is there a way better search engine than Google?

jdawg011 Google has had the most experience with improving their search engine, so it tends to work the best. The problem is, it also tracks you the best. There are several alternatives if you want improved privacy, including Bing, Yahoo, Ask. There are also many...

Trying to find out if this tablet is worth buying

lumenmom @lumenmom (1986) • United States 23 Apr 13

I am clueless when it comes to knowing what are good systems to buy when it comes to computers, cell phones, etc. There are so many choices and so many features. I saw this today for about $80.00. The specs are below: Does this...

jdawg011 Well, it's inexpensive, so that's nice. Just remember though, you get what you pay for. It will most likely break down within the year, but if you are not using it for too much intensive stuff, it should satisfy your needs. The camera doesn't look very good,...

A sensless rant involving a printer and a child...

dismalgrin @dismalgrin (2604) • United States 24 Apr 13

I have been getting my feet wet in the world of couponing because out of the blue my grocery budget went from $200 a month to $35. It is slow going, I read blogs and buy 2 Sunday papers and carefully match for savings, but it is...

jdawg011 Printer ink is far overpriced! I would not bother printing off coupons to save 50 cents on something you might not even want just to buy the ink. Sometimes it feels cheaper to buy a new printer that comes with ink than to buy an ink cartridge. So, I agree with...

jdawg011 Seems a bit out of place for the setting, and he/she could have said that in a much more polite and respectable way. It is good to be educated on what you are eating, and how the animals that you are eating are being treated, but to put it in such a way as to...

Old games are freaking hard! (playing Dangerous Dave)

Bionicman @Bionicman (3958) • Czech Republic 20 Apr 13

Most of the games that we play today are created to entertain you. You are supposed to have fun by playing. But when you look back at the old days, the first games were created as an arcades. Their were designed so they could give...

jdawg011 Tell me about it. So many games for the Nintendo (NES)were just overly difficult. Like the 2nd Legend of Zelda game, and the Hudson's Island games. I think the main thing with a lot of them is that if you die, you have to start the whole game over again, as...

jdawg011 I only use Chrome when I have to. It just feels like another way Google can stalk my every move. I use Firefox because the addons and plugins are versatile and great, it is safe, and it is a nice browser as well, with only a few faults.

Political Attack Ads Already?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28953) • Canada 15 Apr 13

Whether you love him, or hate him, Justin Trudeau is now the Liberal Leader in Canada. He's had the position for less than 24 hours, and already the smear campaign has started. I don't get it. In my opinion, Trudeau, the son of...

jdawg011 I was on windows XP until 2010ish. Then I had the free update to Vista, which of course isn't as good as XP, but I haven't had many problems with it. XP was a great OS, and I'm sure many businesses will find it frustrating to switch, but it won't be that...

jdawg011 I wouldn't say there are any pros to debt itself, but it can be beneficial to have debt. For instance, if you invest money at a higher return than the interest on your debt, then you are making a net profit and therefore, it is better to not pay off the debt...

Microwave popcorn vs. Air-popped popcorn

smtrego @smtrego (181) • United States 13 Apr 13

This may sound silly to discuss, but my husband really dislikes microwave popcorn but loves popcorn for the air popper. I don't think there is enough of a taste difference to prefer one over the other, unless it is burnt. Do...

jdawg011 I like microwave popcorn, but I definitely have to say I like air popped better. It just feels like theatre popcorn and I enjoy being able to put more or less butter on it, and real butter rather than the artificial butter they use in most microwave popcorn....

jdawg011 It's a bit of a switch, but from the little I've used Ubuntu, it hasn't been difficult to learn the basics. It is useful for IT because it is open source and much better for coding and programming than Windows because you don't need to jailbreak it.
