I'm surprised that this is being treated as some new idea, given all the tips about CutePDF and Nitro and other tools. And my Uni pays only $100 for Acrobat, so that works too.

I've read this several times, and it still doesn't really make sense. Please explain. If you're claming that there's a productivity drop going from Windows to Mac, I've not noticed it. I got my Air a week ago Thursday, left soon after for Europe, and it worked like a charm the whole time, and I have been using DOS…

I want Lion, and will install it after it works with my university's antivirus and with some older Adobe/Macromedia apps that we haven't updated yet. Maybe if there's a service pack....

This is seriously cool. Had a good friend had a feature like this with her Gmail account about two years ago, she would have not had to go through the hell of proving that she really was being hacked, and that the account needed to be returned to her control. I guess Google is unimpressed by a series of logins from an…

No, I use an Xacto knife, like any old-school Heathkit builder did back in the day. And I am skilled, so I get a clean strip every time, don't have to use my teeth.

I think you may be asking too much from a pair of MP3 headphones. But I very much like your dishwashing technique. I am gong to write it up and send it to Lifehacker and see if Jesus Diaz bites on the idea.

Umm. You don't work for Fox News, do you? They seem to deny this event ever happened. It was 10 years ago. Planes were hijacked. Airport screeners failed. Look at this every time you are asked to walk through the "OMG they'll see me nekkid" machine. Or just not fly.

And, of course, PEnnsylvania 6-5000.

And the oh-so-scary street. A terrorist could use a car! As a bomb! No, wait, that would never happen....

When you said "kick me in the nuts" I instantly thought of the brass balls in that scene. You are an inspiration.

Yeah, I have a pocket watch that looks neato next to my spats, and the shirts with the detachable collars. Now, I need to go to my barber for a shave, and stop at the soda fountain for a phosphate (also highlighted in the Hipster Grey Lady.)

No, they are not. Especially since it's a long time between Mapp v Ohio, Terry v. Ohio, and the latest evisceration of the exclusionary rule the Bush/Roberts/Scalia court has cooked up most recently. And while common sense may work for you, a lot of folks, when confronted by the police, lose their senses because they…

I agree. And one way to avoid mistakes is to automate repetitive processes as much as possible. Such as using text expansion. Indeed, Word does this for commonly misspelled words, although the term "text expansion" may be less correct than "text replacement." All I am saying is that I still don't know why using such…

There are sometimes stray files you don't want opening by default. I like to leave the original extension so I know what it was, and then append .old or .cpy or something like that. thus, wedding1.jpg.old This way, I can remember what the original format was, although I am sure there are better ways to work that out.

This is how one uses bacon.

You mean, like this? Especially at about 1:50 into the vid.

Sure they do. And so to the Iranian nuke plants whose centrifuges went all nutso because of the USB drives that somehow got into their systems, and spread the Israeli/CIA worm that f*cks with Siemens centrifuge controllers. Or at least, that's what I hear in the NYT.
