    Folding@Home

    I'm considering chipping in, but I have no clue where to start or if it will even be worthwhile. I have a computer I use for gaming that has a 3770K but it's not idle much during the day. I do tend to leave it on the rest of the time. It has a Radeon 7800 in it. I also have another computer...

    Talkatone can handle google voice numbers pretty well over a data connection. The call quality isn't the greatest but it's suitable. They have a subscription plan that lets you adjust for better quality but I haven't bothered with it. There's also an iOS version if you decide to go that way.

    Some work on my A3

    I'm far from being a mechanic, and you've probably figured out this much on your own, but I would say a misfire tends to be related to the spark. I don't know anything about your car, but my first checks would be spark plugs and try new plug wires. Cars are too complicated anymore though, and I...

    You're using a gmail account to download the apps anyway probably and it's probably syncing all those contacts to google whether you know it or not.

    This is the thread for the discussion of interesting apps.

    I was shocked at first by Google wanting access to our contacts list. Then I decided maps probably wanted it so it could access those addresses when you were searching for directions. Then I thought about how Google already had access to our contacts list anyway. As for WebMD, I got nothing.

    It may sound stupid, buy my first step with any wifi issues is to change the wifi channel and try again. I've found many issues with wifi are because the channel is too crowded.

    Sorry to hear that, it will get better... a little. The good news is you start to get used to it after awhile. You just have to survive the first several months. If you start to get frustrated (and you probably will) just walk outside and take a break.

    "so help me God", I don't think those words mean anything to an agnostic or atheist so uttering them as part of an oath is likely meaningless.

    They say there's two types of motorcyclists. Those who have had an accident and those who will. Let's hope you've gotten your one and only out of the way and have many years of happy riding ahead of you.

    It sounds like you did really well to get to the side of the road. I'm not sure many riders could have done anything but go down once the front tire was gone. Any idea if insurance will replace your gear as well?

    If you were really curious before the game is over you could use the ESPN Scorecenter app. I know it breaks down which quarter the points were scored in as the game goes on. I suspect the NFL website would have the same information in realtime.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Bozo, that's always been my belief as well. Usually refurbs go through more thorough testing that a brand new item. Besides, with electronics, you're generally going to see any problems pretty early on.

    You can try Glympse, it doesn't post on a google map, and you can set the Glympse to last for a particular time so you don't run your battery down if you forget to turn it off.

    I wouldn't settle for MSRP unless it was a rare vehicle supply was much higher than demand. I can't think of a reason other than greed and because they think they have you that they should charge you MSRP. They know you want the car, so they're trying to hold you over the coals. Luckily you have...
