For me, the explanation is simple. Yes, I got the fact that Kilborn's persona was exaggerated... but the difference between the two guys is that Mull managed to put on the asshole character and still remain immensely likable. Kilborn, for me, was insanely unlikable in that role, and that lack of charm made it hard to…

Yeah, I'm not really clear on exactly what's happening when someone exploits the flaw, either. From what I understand, though, if I know a site (where I've used OAuth before on numerous occasions) to be reputable, there is no danger whatsoever, right? It's only when you go to a phony site which asks if you want to log…

One could also ask, how are any of the YouTube sensations popular? At least this guy usually has fun videos (which vary quite a bit in degrees of actual helpfulness, but he's done so many, eventually you'll find ones that are either amusing or inventive); plus, he doesn't take himself too seriously, and obviously is…

No love for Roboform? It's been my password program of choice for years.

While there are indeed safety issues with certain items on this list, I'm not buying many of these claims. Having used 8-year-old rubbing alcohol, 10-year-old bars of soap, 2-year-old laundry detergent, and 4-year-old shaving cream, I think some of the sources the author is using are perhaps underwritten by the very…

So his sleeve roll of choice is basically just folding up your cuffs twice, which is intuitively what tons of guys (including myself) already do? Wow. I'm glad we had a video to explain that. ;-)

I tried Twicca for a while, but then switched over to Plume. I prefer it for the swipe-able "columns" and a number of other features. For me, it's the best Android Twitter app out there. But Plume also has filtering (referred to in the app as "mute") by customized text, username, or by the app they're posting from…

Yup. Most of my lists that I use for my TweetDeck columns are private. Honestly, there's no way I could handle my stream without lists and columns, as I have several thousand connections.

TotallyFedUp, I too was dismayed when TweetDeck changed. I used the old version for as long as I could (even a few months past the point where they said it would stop working), but then begrudgingly switched to the new version while I searched for alternatives for my desktop Twitter experience.

^ This. If the hiccups aren't bad, I can often just close my eyes and calm myself until they go away. For more severe cases, I've had a fair amount of success in the past with drinking from the other side of the glass — but that didn't always work, or sometimes the hiccups came back right away. But this method works…

Dude… your mom is hot.

I had the exact same reaction*, so the ads still work! Checkers (or Rally's, as it's known where I live) is freakin' awesome. Don't know why there isn't a cult around it like the people who worship at the In-N-Out altar.

Believe it or not, when I was a kid, I had one bowel movement a week, on average. I thought it was normal at the time. Now, it's usually once a day. I think that back then, my stifled stopped-up stool schedule stemmed from being in class and not being allowed to take bathroom breaks, except at specified times — so I'd…

You might be able to work around that with Page2RSS. It creates an RSS feed from any webpage, even those without RSS:

Hmm... that could be, I suppose. I don't recall if I locked the car when getting gas, but I likely wouldn't have, since that's not my habit. If that's the case, it would make a lot more sense.

I rented a car this summer, and the bigger problem the first time I needed to fill it up was that I could not for the life of me figure out how to open the little door to the gas cap. The rental company didn't include an owner's manual in the glove compartment, so after about 10 minutes of fruitless searching in the…

That's a good point. I think I was promoted about as far as I could have been in my last company, because I was doing a job that nobody else even knew how to do.

Huh. Interesting. Well, that explains that. I suppose before long they'll all be secretly owned by one mega-corporation.

Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned Ryder. That was the cheapest I found when I drove from the Midwest to LA with all my stuff. Truck was in great shape, too.
