Problem: Article: It can be tempting to select a roommate on the basis of how friendly they are, but you're better off judging them on the basis of day-to-day living compatibility. Find out if how often they'll be home, what their work or school schedule is like, and whether they're an early riser or a night owl. You should also consider how neat or messy the person is, as a sloppy roommate is sure to drive a neat-freak nuts. It can be difficult to live with someone who enjoys absolute silence when you love to blast music at all hours of the day and night. Find out the person's preferences before deciding to move in together. Ask what kind of noise level they prefer, what temperature they're comfortable at, what kinds of foods they enjoy, if they're sensitive to odors, and if they have any allergies. Be sure to find out if they smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs, too. Some people may have vastly different religious or political views that could cause conflict when living together. For example, someone who is very religious and conservative may not be okay with you bringing home one-night-stands. Some people may love to chat and discuss their feelings, while others prefer to keep things to themselves. The best roommate pairs will have similar views on these topics. Ask for rental references and discuss the financial commitment you're both making. Make sure they are prepared and able to stick to the lease agreement as well as any utility bills. You don't want to get stuck paying the full amount of rent because they don't have enough money to cover their portion!
Summary: Learn their habits. Compare your preferences. Account for personality differences. Check their rental history and financial situation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tor is a free distributed network that keeps you anonymous while you while you are connected through the browser. Information is bounced between a large number of relays that exist all over the globe. Tor allows you to bypass any firewalls or restrictions placed on your connection. The drawback is that websites load slowly, as the data has to travel great distances to reach you. The Tor browser bundle is a self-contained program that does not need to be installed. You can place it onto a USB drive and plug it into any computer. The browser bundle is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The Tor browser is a modified version of Firefox, and shares a lot of interface similarities with it. When you run the browser program, a window will appear showing the status of the Tor connection. Once the connection is established, the browser will open. Only traffic sent through the Tor browser will be sent through the Tor network. That means that Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, or any other browser will not be anonymous through the Tor network while Tor is running. Once the browser window opens, you should see a page confirming that you are successfully connected to Tor. You should now be able to access sites that were previously blocked. Closing the browser window will stop Tor from running While data in the Tor network is encrypted, it cannot decrypt data leaving the Tor network. That means that any secure transactions that you need to make are just as vulnerable as they are on the regular internet. Only give out personal information to sites with SSL enabled. You will see HTTPS:// instead of HTTP:// and your browser address field will display a security lock.
Summary: Download the Tor browser bundle. Run the browser. Check that you are connected.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Discolorations are very recognizable when they appear. Normal lettuce is typically a light-green or yellow color, although varieties such as Red Coral have purple leaves. When the dark spots appear on multiple leaves in place of these colors, your lettuce is on its way out. Discolored lettuce often feels slimy and smells bad as well. Small brown spots usually aren't harmful if you eat them. You can also cut around them if the rest of the lettuce leaf is still healthy. Fresh lettuce has little to no smell. You may be able to detect an earthy scent from the soil the lettuce grew in. Lettuce that smells pungent is rotting. The rotten smell will be very unpleasant, so it is easy to detect. The smell will be so off-putting that you won't want to eat the lettuce anyway, but it is often accompanied by discoloration and slime on the leaves. Fresh lettuce is firm and crisp. As lettuce ages, it becomes soft, droopy, and wrinkled. You can spot these changes by eye or by touching the leaves. These leaves may not yet feel wet, but the lettuce is still near spoiling when it begins to wilt. Lettuce wilts right before it begins to turn brown. You will have to discard it or find a use for it right away. Wilted lettuce is safe to eat if it hasn't begun rotting. You can try soaking it in ice water for up to 30 minutes, which may restore its crispness. In case your leaves aren't noticeably rotten, be aware of their texture. You may be able to see moisture on the leaves as well as feel it. A sticky or slippery substance forms on the leaves as they begin to degrade, indicating softness and rot. Although wet leaves may still be safe to eat, they won't taste very good. The leaves become soft as they wilt. You won't be able to smell or touch the lettuce until you open the bag, but you may still see some signs of spoilage. The bag will puff up as moisture escapes the leaves. You may see beads of water collecting on the inside of the bag. Moisture creates the perfect growing spot for bacteria and mold, so don't eat the lettuce. You may be able to see brown spots in a spoiled bag of lettuce. You can also try opening the bag. The lettuce will have that nasty, rotten smell if it has gone bad. Find a piece of lettuce that looks safe to eat and nibble on it. You are most likely familiar with the inoffensive, watery taste of fresh lettuce. Spoiled lettuce will taste the same way rotten lettuce smells. It will have a very strong, rancid, sour taste that will make you want to spit it out. Avoid eating the lettuce if it is sour. Throw it away immediately.
Summary:
Look for brown or black leaves that indicate rotting. Throw out lettuce with a strong, rancid smell. Check the leaves for signs of wilting. Touch the leaves to see if they feel wet. Throw away bags of lettuce that look swollen or moist. Taste the lettuce to see if it is sour.
