Washington, DC’s subway/train system is referred to as “Metro” and is operated by the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA). While the DC bus system is also technically part of “Metro,” when DC residents say “Metro” they mean the train, not the bus. (When referring to the bus, a DC resident will [...]
Question: Hi, I was wondering if there is any advantage to putting money into a CD versus a regular savings account (like Emigrant Direct or ING) if the rates are same or very close.
On the one hand, a savings account is more liquid than a CD. On the other, a CD [...]

Ahh, Firefox – so customizeable.
Unfortunately, it still has a way to go in terms of intuitiveness of design.
Case and point: it’s a breeze to add search engines to Firefox with a single mouse click using the Mozilla addons page. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to delete old or unwanted engines from [...]

I have Comcast cable at home. Overall, the service is pretty good – certainly light years better than the Verizon DSL to which I previously subscribed. One problem that Comcast is plagued by, however, is notoriously slow DNS servers.
For those of you non-technical folks out there, “DNS” stands for “Domain Name [...]
I’m a RedHat Linux guy, but I wanted to try out the Ubuntu Linux distribution to see if it’s an acceptable solution for Linux newbies (who would likely install a dual-boot XP system) or for cash-strapped non-profit groups (who would likely use it as their primary system).
I had no problems setting up [...]

I have this gullible friend, we’ll call her “Suzy.” Even though we live hundreds of miles apart, I can always tell when Suzy is reading her email because my inbox invariably fills with exclamation mark-laden messages with subject lines like “FW: Fwd: Fw: Very important, not a joke. Please read” and “FW: Re: Getting [...]
If you’ve ever had to use the task manager (CTRL-ALT-DELETE) to kill a “Not Responding” program, you’ve probably been frustrated by the time it takes for the program to actually disappear from your screen. What’s going on here is that a Microsoft provided tool called “Windows Error Dump Reporting,” or “dumprep.exe,” is creating a [...]
Firefox has long been my web browser of choice. Features such as tabbed browsing, multiple extensions, and intelligent popup blocking make it the most usable browser available.
Lately, however, it seems that more and more popups are managing to get through. I did some checking, and it seems that the Macromedia Flash [...]
And if you send an email to HelpfindAshleyFlores@yahoo.com, you’ll get a “no such user” error.
Contrary to what you may have read in your email, Ashley Flores isn’t missing.
I received an email today from a friend who’s never met a “forward me” email that she didn’t oblige – the email pleaded for me to be on [...]
I’m a big fan of the show “Lost,” and as a result, my browser and feedreader are both filled with links about the popular ABC show.
Can you believe that ABC executive who decided to pick up “Lost” was FIRED for doing so? The powers-that-be thought it was too expensive, and that [...]
Whether you’re looking to start a new business or just looking to relocate an existing home-based business, you may have glanced at the office rental ads and thought to yourself, “$25 dollars a square foot! Who can afford that?!” I’ll tell you who can afford it – YOU can!

Chipotle Mexican Grill makes some of the best tasting burritos in the world – unfortunately, they’re not always the healthiest option available.
With their neat-o flash website, unconventional marketing, and commitment to natural foods, Chipotle restaurant projects and ultra-hip image. For this reason, many people are surprised [...]
The easiest and best known method for calculating your maximum heart rate is to subtract your age from 220.
Basic Formula
Max Heart Rate = 220 – Age
While this calculation is sufficient for most purposes, recent research has shown that the relationship between a person’s maximum heart rate and age is not linear. Hence, there are [...]
By default, Windows XP displays a menu entitled “Recent Documents” in the Start menu.
This list of recently accessed files can be viewed by anyone using your computer, which can make for some uncomfortable circumstances when others sit down at your desktop.
Keep your files more private by turning that list off.
There are 2 ways [...]
Blame it all on that crazy Atkins guy, but everyone seems to be counting carbs these days. While a carb-free diet isn’t the healthiest way to to live, many people have decided to ignore the risks and press on in the hopes of dropping a few pounds.
