Most of us dislike having toolbars in our browsers because they are annoying; not only do they tend to hijack our homepages, but they use up a lot of screen real estate, making it more difficult to surf the web… especially i...
How many dotTechies play Minecraft? I don’t and never will; I just don’t understand the point of spending hours to build something just for the sake of building something. (Unless I’m pissing the point of Minecra...
How many dotTechies are car people? (Or maybe I should ask how many dotTechies are car guys. No offense ladies.) And by car people I mean not just admiring exotic (and sometimes not so exotic) vehicles but also having the skill, k...
How many dotTechies drive cars regularly, or drove cars regularly in a past life? My guess is most. How many dotTechies have gotten into major accidents? I hope none. In my short time as a driver, I have only had a small fender be...

How do most dotTechies deal with computer problems? Heck, how do most normal humans deal with computer problems? My guess is first they try to diagnose the problem themselves and, if they cannot fix it or don’t know how to f...
I do not work at the patent office nor do I know of someone that works at the patent office. However, from what I hear, the patent office in the United States (and other countries, I’m sure) receive some fairly ridiculous pa...
Let’s say you have a long, heavy bridge that is old and deteriorating in condition. This bridge is critical to the area. What do you do to fix the issue? This is the exact situation the engineers at Oregon’s Multnomah ...
