The only real use I've gotten out of Dashboard has come by way of Ambrosia Software's EasyEnvelopes. Punch a key, print an envelope (with barcode), done.

One step further: put the frontload in your subject line.

Sodium is indeed good for you in reasonable quantities. The problem is, it's practically impossible to reduce the amount you ingest to "reasonable quantities" now without resorting to growing, processing and cooking all your own food.

Funny thing. A couple of weeks ago my nephrologist told me that people are being told to drink too much water. Water in your system creates the high pressure, not sodium. The sodium causes the water to be retained, exacerbating the problem.

This is a very worthwhile article, making a very underappreciated point. The reason some of the other stuff disgusts us is that we've defined it that way. The reason it was defined as such was to deter us from harm. Now our sense of disgust and the things that actually will harm us are in serious misalignment. We…

Look for a decent set, like the Creative EP-630i (actually OEM'd from Sennheiser), and use the smallest size tips. If you've done that and they're still too big, it's possible that you need a set whose "outlet tube" diameter is smaller than standard. One of these is the Klipsch S2m, but they're hard to find now and…

Obviously, this could work for monitors too.

Exactly. Beverages that contain very little actual coffee—lattes and their flavored variants, frappucinos, coffee/tea hybrids, and the like—must be drinks for people who don't actually care for the taste of coffee, and want to mask it. Like you, I love the taste of coffee. Just as most people like its aroma.

I've always wondered what I've been missing—why others find Starbucks' coffee so objectionably "burnt and bitter" when I don't. Explaining that you actually prefer more typical American-style (i.e., weaker) coffee like that found at fast-food joints explains a lot.

This, or one like it, would be it. For the sake of stability you don't want to go smaller.

Which you should do anyway, given that you don't want to leave the cubes exposed to the dry, low temperature circulating air any longer than necessary.

Think of it as a climax.

Nah. You missed the reason why I came up with nothing. :(

Kiplinger is your idea of an unbiased source, free of a political or ideological agenda?

That's the point! They "assess" the covariates, but they don't distinguish causation from correlation!

Port access is the reason why, when I got my first flatscreen iMac, I immediately bought an inexpensive, thin, metal, ball bearing turntable to put underneath it, making sure its specs allowed for proper weight capacity. At 6" or so it disappeared beneath the iMac's "foot." Must've been all of $6 at Amazon. It's still…

Forget this. Recently improved, long shelf life Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables, charged by USB charger connected to an already-powered device (like your computer), is the way to go.

Got the number question in just over a minute. I have to question the pizza scenario, though. "Adjust your thumb and fin­ger and wrap the string eleven times equally around them" doesn't sound at all easy, potentially involving a maddening amount of trial and error.

I've always liked letter names, like J.D. or R.J. They can sound aristocratic or folksy at the same time. You can turn the acronym into a word name like "Jadie" or "Bebe" and accept either spelling. If your last name is difficult to pronounce, you can use the acronym for your entire name as your nick, and skip the…

"Often?" There's never a time when it's preferable to be reactive. The only question is how much information is sufficient before taking action. Think, but don't overanlayze.
