I've tried a few Amazon devices, and came away relatively disappointed, even knowing the limitations up front. The first was a Fire TV Stick. The interface is heavily Amazon-centric, which I knew going in. I didn't realize how frustrating and non-intuitive it would be to use other services...

Here's an '05 Suburban for $7,250. https://frederick.craigslist.org/cto/6001662666.html Looks like a Z-71. Looks like he started at $7,950 and has lowered it to $7,250. Private party "Good" is $5,415. "Very Good" is $6,012. Call him up with that info, offer $5,500, and see what he says. This...

Nice unmolested XJ for 3 grand: https://winchester.craigslist.org/cto/6039298947.html '07 MT Jetta with less than 90k miles for $5,400: https://winchester.craigslist.org/cto/6039222289.html Something newer, a two year old Corolla with 30k miles for $11.9k...

OP, what is your desired budget?

I would not recommend anything in the Amazon ecosystem if you'd like broad cross-functionality. The cover charge is cheap, but that's because the advertising and intense focus on Amazon-facing applications is the subsidy. With some effort, you can force Google Play on an Amazon tablet, but with...

Originally Posted By: pacem Reading your example just reinforces my opinion. I guess you'll have to focus on in what you prioritize. Of course that $2,400 Odyssey has high miles -- it's only 2400 bucks! You're not going to find a recent Odyssey with 50k miles for pocket change. Of course...

I think it's highly market-specific. We're in the northern Shenandoah Valley, on the OTHER side of the Blue Ridge from the DC market. Craigslist prices on vehicles here are quite reasonable in my opinion. Examples: 2005 Odyssey with 190k for $2400...

Originally Posted By: cpayne5 Can you look at the connection configuration for the account in Outlook? If the connection uses TLS/SSL, then company P cannot peek into the payload (unless they have a key). If no TLS/SSL, then they certainly can see what you're sending/receiving, if they wanted...

I work at home for Company H, and we are partnered with Company P on a particular contract. I use Outlook for email connected to my company's servers that face the public internet. I don't have to be logged in to my company's VPN in order to use my email (though I can be). Company P performs the...

Originally Posted By: Miller88 Really, though. Any transverse engine is not easy. I think "easy" is relative. A transverse 4 is probably more difficult than a transverse 6, though, just due to the extra length. I found the belts on our V-6 engines to be not only easy, but rather enjoyable...

The headlamps are 15 years old. It's very likely that the reflective surfaces on the reflectors have hazed or browned due to the number of heat cycles on them. Over-power bulbs apparently are just barely enough to compensate but, ironically, will only hasten further degradation. The only...

I've noticed an ironic situation play out with increasing consistency. More and more websites are sensing that you have an ad blocker installed, and display a "popup" within the website (that isn't technically a popup) that you usually must dismiss before being able to view any content. The...

I enjoy reading comprehensive reviews like yours. Great work, and fun car! I've not driven a Mini, but I bet they're a hoot.
