    Is there a restaurant or musical in New York City that didn't survive long?

    I'm making a quick list of establishments that didn't survive for a long time (like its grand opening and final closing was within a year) for someone and I've only ever lived and worked in midtown Manhattan, so I don't know of any places outside of it.

    Is eating 2 eggs a day too much?

    A simple question that I'm betting has a complex answer. Everyday for breakfast, I have 2 eggs in whatever fashion without salt, maybe pepper but that's rare. During weekends I'd have one whole egg, but use the other to make buckwheat pancakes. I've been doing it for about a week or 2, and...

    Why was the mac mouse made this way?

    I got tired of those "How to clean the ball on the mac mouse" tutorials where all they did was take a paper towel and run the ball on it. It would only alleviate the problem for a short bit and this time it just didn't work at all. So I did what you think you can do to any mouse or keyboard if...

    Good shoe for running >$100?

    I usually do HIIT on the weekdays and then nice 4 mile jogs when the weather isn't so humid, but I'll run in the rain without a second thought. Don't know much of the jogging jargon, I just run and I've been running almost daily since 2003. I pretty much have a normal arch and I land on my heel...

    What's a reliable 1TB external hard drive?

    I've heard, from engadget, about Lacie's new drive: http://www.engadget.com/2009/0...-for-anything-storage/ If I can get one at that price or cheaper, I'll spring for one since all of my work is here on the computer. But since I haven't really looked at hard drives since 2004, I wanted to...

    What's a well known alcoholic drink that has a lot of kick?

    How to do playlists on Rockbox for the iPod?

    This is really the only reason why I got rid of rockbox on my ipod. I have several playlists where the placement of songs (gathered from a few sources) are needed and it's part of my heavy listening. Problem is Rockbox will organize by filename. I tried to use Songbird to export the playlist...

    What do you call that optical illusion

    I've seen it in cereal boxes and my kid magazines. A hidden message would be in a red image and if you wear the glasses they give you that has a colored lens, it reveals a message inside the box.

    Screw paying apple to answer ONE question

    I want to import movies in it, but they're not HD movies. They're just mpg and mov format in standard definition. I used to be able to do it but now I can't for some reason. I even used Stomp to make it into a large HD movie made specifically iMovie. I can't import anything through drag n' drop...

    Does it look like I need to stay with the iPod?

    In 2003, I got my hands on the 2nd generation ipod. I loved its easy navigation. Now, I'm using a 60GB ipod (5G). Now that navigation has become more easy with things like touchscreen, I was looking for a good player (can be a DAP or PMP) for when I travel, not jogging. My biggest...

    How to create a .m3u from iTunes?

    It sucks that the only way to export a playlist is either through a .txt file or a .xml file. I did find: http://granades.com/2009/01/03...3u-playlists-on-a-mac/ but I have zero experience with Applescript and have no idea what all of this stuff is saying or how to install these things.

    How to .nrg to .iso?

    I have an nrg file that I simply want to convert to a .iso but this is having me rip my hair out trying to find a way to do this. It's an audio cd, not a movie one. I have Toast 8 and though it mounts it (and reads it as one track), the only way to get those tracks separated is to burn the...

    Why does iTunes do this with my unchecked songs>

    Reached the threshold of my iPod, all 60 gigs of it. So I uncheck songs I wouldn't listen to on the thing but I'd still love to hear on my home setup. The problem is that when iTunes is done playing a checked song, it skips the unchecked songs automatically and goes right to the next checked...

    Pair of speakers for MAX $500

    This is for my dad. He's had a set of speakers around since I was born (ONKYO D-77). They're shot, so now he's looking for a good pair of speakers. As the title said, he wants to spend a max of $500 and won't go any further than that, so he has no problems if its bookshelf speakers if their...

    Has anybody used Paypal's cashback?

    I usually use my debit card when it comes to any paypal purchases but they're offering this 5% cash back on bank purchases and 1% henceforth. I'm reading the terms and conditions and it doesn't sound like I have to sign up for anything like a credit card, I just have to use my bank account...

    Does anybody remember that juice as a kid where you pulled the lid off?

    Forgot what it's called. It was this juice bottle I remember drinking from. It all got out of this tiny hole and the plastic was very soft. The lid was actually this plastic tab that sorta plugged that hole and you just broke it off. The reason why I'm asking is because that's the type of covers...

    Loving my kettlebells, but looking to buy these rings

    16kg is already quite a bit and I'm moving up to 20kg (but man I'm not going to attempt snatches there yet). I swear by kettlebells and am changing my whole workout routine. But I'm wanting to something like tactical rings. Example. Don't know what to call them to go search for one. I...

    What the heck? I didn't subscribe to Men's Health magazine

    These guys sent a trial issue. Not even one. A very small book. Then they sent two issues (neither with my name printed on the cover or anything) in a small plastic bag with thin redundant issues of Women's Health that was nothing but promotional stuff to subscribe to their magazine and find out...

    Trying to find out the force a car endures during a crash test

    Assuming that the mass of the car is 2000kg and we know the crash tests are about 35mph, I need to find out the time it takes for the car to reach that point so I can find the acceleration. The thing is, it's hard to find a crash test video that shows the amount of time from start to the...

    How to curb those late night cravings?

    I try to eat as often as possible (every 2-3 hours). The diet tends to try and keep bread/yogurt and whatever carbs for postworkout. I also tend to buy from just Whole Foods and farmer's markets. For snacks I either go for protein or my favorite snack, baby carrots. But when it gets past 10...

    Man this sucks

    I was in Maryland going towards West Virginia at I-70. Leftmost lane and was doing about 73. Lots of cars to my right and there was a car coming up to me very fast behind me.

For the most part, I'm...
