Dayum, am I the only x-marks customer that hung tough and prayed for their survival? Chrome? FF-sync? Not the same, not as helpful/workable for me. I am so glad I didn't twitch and switch.

@sigurrosuntitled: I'm late to this thread and maybe noone will read this, but in all the discussion there's one apparently invisible elephant in the room—howzabout we all pay for what we get in healthcare. The medical version of John Smith's "If you don't work, you don't eat."

Sad, the advice to go to darker roasts, as the darker roasts so often essentially burn the beans and destroy their distinctive flavors. I knew squat about coffee before visiting small coffee "fincas" in Panama—wow, what a difference a gently applied medium roast on fresh high-grown beans makes!

@Hello_Newman: Class warfare is stupid. Let's say all employees act as if their interests are opposed to the interests of their boss or company. Yeah, that'll work out just fine for them all. Get a grip.

While economic class political warfare seems somewhat rational, it is terribly myopic. The truth is, we're all in this together—the relatively wealthy, particularly those above 500k are already bearing a greater tax burden. The Demoncrat approach of soaking the rich to ingratiate themselves to their "great unwashed"…

@nosirrahg: God rest him and his and our beloved marque. Nice Goat, too. Dude was already in heaven—he'll feel right at home now.

Pontiac was always the victim of its own creative, aggressive engineering and niche market share relative to Buick and Chevy. When da Pony came out with a hotter engine for the T/A than Chevy had planned for the Vette—which happened more than once, the GM politics quickly redirected Pony's hotter power plant to the…

@nastavirs: Now the real LH-type question: What to do with that extra hour? Go back to sleep is undoubtedly the overwhelming favorite.

@gaslcnc: Sorry to say, the linked article is one of the clearest examples of cooked, junk science I've ever seen. There is absolutely no question whatsoever that, all other factors being equal, a wider tire will have a larger contact patch, which will provide a larger coefficient of friction (at least on firm, dry…

@Zundfolge: Actually, unless you've been very successful at something the gummint is interested in, you're probably of no interest to them as it is. They are actually very easy to "lose" as they really don't care about any of us, so long as we keep a low profile among the "great unwashed."

@winstonsicle: Indeed. Really?

@Michael Interbartolo III: Look at the discussion above with BobtheNinjaPirate—us N'awlineans feels yo punkin pain. And as many of us traditionally say, since 8/29/05, Thanks Houston!

Dumb. Anyone who would do this should get one of those Fix-a-Flat cans and use the instructable from a week or so ago to over pressure it with a compressor up to about 100#. If it explodes, oh well, natural selection as work. I don't care for thieves or vandals and neither should evolution.

@jupiterthunder: huh? Iron out creases? Nice crisp creases down the front and back of slacks' legs bespeak care and refinement. One's clothes should demonstrate a level of respect for the environment (business, pleasure, religious, formal, informal) in which worn and signify the wearer's position vis a vis the…

@MattSTKC: Your bellicose, unhelpful fanboy comment is more like "so 30 years ago" since Apple jumped the shark with the "closed architecture" ///, followed closely by the almost company-killingly inadequate and closed Macintosh 128. Its continued existence is testament to the market for black box, "easy button"…

@Prairie Moon: So true, so true! Also been using WinAmp since the beginning—has it really been 13 years? Dayyum!

@MattSTKC: Rant much? At least with Android, the community of users and developers can guide and implement improvements that work in the real world, even when corporate engineers don't get everything right. Try that publicly with an Apple product and you're more than likely getting a cease and desist letter.

@kettlewhistle: Very easy—in bleached or unbleached, grocery store no-name packaging or Melita's own. In short, they are very common.

It's not a patch on Super Jail.

At the very least for safety, one should know the pressure capacity of the can and set the pressure regulator on the compressor for a little less than the can's capacity. +10 safety glasses/shield, gloves, and I would wrap a few rags or other padding around the entire can before injecting the air.
