The lack of understanding you're experiencing is caused by social conditioning. You weren't born with it. Get over it and you'll discover what you've been missing. It's a lot.

This, and when you see the article refer to the Air as a "porcelain doll," you know you're dealing with a source that's skewed in the head.

Actually, once I took my head out of my ass, it wash't difficult to find Helium (the program) at all. Still, I would have provided a link.

You forget the mantra of modern day journalism: never bypass an opportunity for sensational link bait.

A link would be great, thanks. Doing a search on "Helium" is an exercise in near-futility.

"You don't need to write many words, nor big ones, to seem smart." How's that?

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately for me, I'm using OS X, and there isn't a Lion-compatible version of KeePass. I use 1Password, which doesn't sync photos.

The major premise behind cold brewing is that filtering coffee beans through cold water avoids extraction of acids and oils that are produced when they are filtered through hot (especially boiling) water. The difference in outcome—flavor and smoothness—is noticeable, if not prominent, to a serious coffee drinker.

This is the kind of "encouragement and expectations values statement" pap an HR department comes up with, and thinks justifies their existence. Don't read too much into it. It's not like it came from the people who actually make things happen.

After trying many such "solutions"—including Evernote, which I sometimes use for other reasons—I simply keep text notes in a Dropbox folder and deal with it while mobile with a Dropbox-aware iOS app (Notesy won my affectations, though there are others). Why be dependent on web access? Why bother with tags when you can

It's possible to change the diameter without changing the aspect ratio.

Me too. Cheaper, out of the way and less visible FTW. Added another hook to wrap the cord around while I was at it. Must've cost all of $1 and 3 minutes.

You can include the attachment in your password manager, but will it be synced to your phone where you really need it? There's the rub.

Maybe it's a function of where you live, but—other than straw men imagineered for the sake of political argument—I don't know of any poor people who wouldn't jump at the chance to get a job, and who are happy to live off government dole instead. Ted Williams, the homeless disc jockey, was such a person, I suppose, if

No, that was a poorly constructed sentence. I mean that someone at the table starts shaking salt all over the chips, acting on the assumption that everyone else at the table shares the same preference. Normally I'd attribute such behavior to inconsiderate self-centeredness, but in this case it's probably more a case

This is tangentially related to Steve Jobs' anecdote about the difference between janitors and vice presidents, and to the effectiveness of the strong-but-silent archetype. People pay more respectful attention to vice presidents than to janitors, and to Clint Eastwood types than to prattlers.

That's a lot of accusation with no facts to back it up. The closest you come is this article, which isn't peer reviewed, nor vetted for biased sources.

"'...Excuse me, give me some space to drive my ball.' The crowd squeals, rapturous."

You were doing so well. Looking so rational, independent and unbiased.

Be careful when using nonstandard characters in a shared environment. Consider how characters like ampersands are often converted into gobbledygook when they cross systems, such as when they are transmitted over the Internet. The more esoteric you get, the more likely it is that things like that will happen.
