I think the problem is that there is a big difference between the 'rich' and people like us, who are in the middle, that get shafted.

When I have a head cold, I love to use my Neti-Pot....a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXjYW4qnrDY

Jtr- The contribution to the IRA is not tax deductible. It is made with after tax money. Because the contribution was not deductible, you do not have to pay tax on the conversion. You would only have to pay tax on any appreciation in the money that takes place between the date of the...

I see stuff like this with my co-workers. They have relatively simple taxes, like most of us, but have an accountant guy that is more aggressive with declaring things like charitable donations, home office deductions, cell phones etc. etc. to game the system. They will even go through old...

Wow. Navigating the demo site is noticeably faster! Great idea. Looks like a win-win.

Did the same thing with the same website as reference! I also found this website useful: http://whitecoatinvestor.com/backdoor-roth-ira-tutorial/ I had a small amount in a Traditional IRA that I rolled into my 401k before doing the backdoor/conversion to keep things simple. Investigating...

We were on Oasis so this makes sense: http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2014-08-13/business/fl-royal-caribbean-faster-internet-20140805_1_internet-service-high-speed-internet-ships

We've been on about 16 cruises. 15 with RCCL, one with Carnival (for good reason). My 7 year old son has been on 6 of them. I purchased the internet pacakge once many years ago before even WIFI was available. It totally sucked. You actually used a modem in the cabin! But now, they have...

My GPU seems to handle it well. I disabled the CPU folding. Contribution didn't seem to be that much with the i5 3570.

No problem. I want to at least get past all the dead bodies laying next to the road.

Thanks Doug. I'll have to look into it when I get a minute...

I've been folding for about 1/2 hr. Doesn't seem to be beating up the GPU too bad and CPU seems fine. Overall system is only 190W and the power consumption on the GPU is 61.2% TDP. When I was running Furmark, the TDP was about 91% and overall system was 250W. Any other settings I need to...

I recently got a GTX 960 GPU. Will it make a decent contribution? How hard does Folding work these GPUs? My system pulls about 250W running the Furmark burn in test. Obviously much much less if just idling.

Gents- This may have been touched on in one of the other car threads. Spoke to a friend who is an auto tech and he said this scan tool along with the Android Torque application is great fun. You can get a lot of information on your car as well as other statistics like HP, 0-60 times...

Thanks for your feedback guys. I ended up getting this LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw and I really like it. Picture quality is great even compared to my older inkjet. I looked at the comparable model by Brother too but it was too tall to fit in my space and I liked the look of the HP with the all...

Thanks guys. AB+ is already in full effect on his computer & he uses a Standard Windows 7 User account. The main thing I am looking to lock down are his setting related to the Firefox UI...so he can't ever lose his Menu Bar, or get lost in Full Screen mode etc. Other than that he is doing...

Based on my experience about a year ago, my RMA with Asus on my P8-Z77V went pretty smoothly and easily. Just FYI. YMMV outside the USA!

Howdy Guys- My Dad is in his 70's now. He's forgetful. He has a tendency to somehow screw up his Firefox settings. Maybe by hitting hotkeys on the keyboard on accident. He loses his Menu bar, bookmarks pane etc. on different occasions. Not sure how he's doing it. Anyway...is there any way...

I got one of these for like $200 shipped from BestBuy in the Fall. Great deal on an IPS monitor, IMO. http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2770SMH-LED-27-Inch-SuperClear-Frameless/dp/B008RM23ZI

So....I'm looking at HP and Brother Color Laser AIO's in the $200 to $400 range. Any specific recommendations or any that deserve to be cast aside?

Great. Thanks. I will do a little research to find some example pics. It definitely doesn't have to be great. I would definitely prefer laser!

It's nice to have the capability to print decent quality color pictures for my son's school projects and things like that. The picture capability would not be used a ton but then again the printer would not get heavy usage in general, anyway. I'm not looking for great pictures but pretty good...

Hi Guys- Whats the current favorite MFC/AIO ? I've decided I want it to be decent at photos so I guess I need to get some type of Inkjet as opposed to Laser (correct?). My OfficeJet Pro 8500 is finally printing like crap (barely anything at all), even with decent ink cartridges in it so I...

A guy at my work told me these cases are good: http://www.lifeproof.com/

I have the S4 version of this case and love it. It's slim, grippy and has a built in kickstand. I don't use the holster than comes with it though. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K345E0O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=282VK02GLH4Q8&coliid=I33F1OO0VFF08T

Lunar - you might check out the Galazy S4. I got it for my work phone early because I thought the S5 was too big for me. It is just big enough and I am very happy with it. Probably cheap too! I moved up from a RazrM.

Yeah you definitely got your money's worth out of that card! I just can't believe the plunge yesterday. I sold the 270 I bought from Erik just last week for about $10 more than I paid him for it. :) I could never get the monitor to wake up after it went to sleep. I attributed it to the...

SOLD on eBay.

Smoking deal. I hope Doug doesn't puke when he reads it.

Seems like a good deal if you're willing to buy Seagate. Found this deal on Hardforums. It's Newegg selling via eBay. I heard on Hardforms that Newegg does a much better job shipping hard drives now than they used to...

Howdy all- I found this tool be be very useful and intuitive. Thought you might too: http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/

I seem to remember some of you guys are fans of Samsung drives. I pulled two of subject drives out of my Dad's computer. They have about 650 days of use on them according to SMART. In perfect condition.. If anyone is interested, let me know.

DELL M4800 I just read a bried review on it . Luckily the weakspot of this machine is the display. For me, it will be a secondary one as I use a 24" IPS for my primary work space.

After 4 years I'm getting a new work laptop to replace my Elitebook 8540w. Based on the specs, certainly seems like (not) crap. Processor: Intel Core i7 Memory: 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 (4x8GB) Primary Hard Drive: 256GB SSD Secondary Hard Drive: 1TB Hybrid drive Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro K2100M Display...

I have a Tab S 10.5 coming. Looking forward to replacing my Touchpad running KitKat. The Tab Pro would be a better deal but I figured I will keep it for a long time, root it and hopefully have access to some new ROMs that will take advantage of the 3GB RAM. Got a pretty sweet deal on an Open...

I agree with your post for the most part but, in my case, I had already moved the data off the drive (getting down to about 35GB on the source) and the clone process to the 128GB SSD would not even initialize. Arconis would try to do it but then crap out telling me to read the log file, which...

This took some fiddling for me but what seemed to be the easiest thing to do was the following: 1.) On the old large hard drive, shrink down the size of the data partition so that it, when combined with the system reserved partition it is smaller than the size of the SSD. I used GPARTED to do...

I may try this when I upgrade my Dad's aging 1TB disk to a SSD + HDD: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mining was fun when it was profitable but I stopped back in March (I think) when I parted out my mining rig. I still have the wood frame I made, some risers, and an old AMD cpu with a couple gb of ram leading around. I doubt it'll ever be profitable like it was early this year, so not...

Doug.... Are you still mining? Is it profitable now? Details details! :)

I got a regular Fire TV on sale, for our primary tv. Works great. Streams Plex at max bitrate via a wire. Didn't bother to try the wireless.

ME TOO! I still remember going to see the original with my Dad.

Thanks for all your advice Merc!

Merc- Could you explain how to do "adding the Malware Domains blocklist" further. I visited their website and don't quite understand how it works. I have Adblock Plus with EasyList installed & Avast. So far so good. :)

Thanks guys. The AVG version I have is the latest from their website. With its latest 'update' it changed the default search and added some toolbar. In the following update I believe it tried to do it again but I found the option to avoid the changes. I'm sure my mom is not savvy...

Thanks! I'll keep watching for a deal.

I'm thinking about getting this bundle for my 3rd TV (original FireTV, + game controller) because it already has a wired ethernet connection local: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Gamers-Bundle-Controller-cable/dp/B00M9VWFOM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1418175783&sr=8-3&keywords=fire+tv Otherwise, I...

My Mom's new laptop needs some type of AV software. Free is preferred. AVG Free 2015 is on it now. I see it has the bad habit of trying to change the default search provider and home page. Is there a better free option or a good inexpensive pay option for her? Thanks!

I am noticing that streaming from plex to the stick at any 1080p setting is intermittently skippy. My 5ghz router is only about 5ft away so I doubt that is the issue. The second stick on the other tv does the same thing. 720p is smooth though. Any issues with the regular FireTV streaming at...
