For many vehicles and circumstances, it's true, any gas'll do. If you have a fairly high performance vehicle or you do a lot of stop and go city driving and not much highway driving, you will probably notice the difference between gasoline octanes (depending on what's appropriate for your vehicle's…

This will only work well in a relatively low humidity environment. In places with "real" winter, indoors usually becomes very dry, allowing the rind to dessicate, rather than rot. In humid areas (e.g., NOLA, HOU), there will be mold, before the seedling gets to any size.

Then you'll be glad you have the disc there to block the blade. Idjit indeed!

On OG Droid, current Project Elite (Gingerbread) rom, Zeam (and she rocks, fast and smooth, if I do say so, myself) I've tried several of these browsers and have stuck with Dolphin Mini for its relatively small footprint, good speed, intuitive (desktop-like) interface, and relative stability. Tabs and flash work…

I think the key to all "frequent flyer" programs is that one has to fly frequently, which requires that the airline under consideration go where you want, reliably, with generally decent service, and at a price that is affordable enough to fly frequently in the first instance. For me, Southwest is that airline.

Driving on two lane roads has become a nearly lost art—another part of American culture (e.g., downtown shopping districts, diners) and competency killed off by interstates. I learned to drive on black-top roads with nicknames like "White Lightning" and am thankful for the skills the experience gave me.

I installed FF4b a while ago, which contained some sort of start-up-speed-up mojo. When uninstalled, my FF3x still started as or nearly as fast as FF4b. I'll try this tonight and see if it makes any more difference.

You know there was a federal grant for this. Our tax dollars, erm, debt at work! How lovely—no really, this is just a wonderful use of resources, really. I hope if I meet Prof. Beilock, someday, he'll have enough of our money left to buy me a cup of coffee, because I so want to know more about this fascinating and…

With "robots," like spell-check and grammar check, readily available to make at least rudimentary proof reading incredibly fast and easy, I daresay, your point, derTrollium, is simply not well taken.

I'm always both fascinated and creeped out by infinite regresses, like this. Nice space, infinite repetition of the scene on the desktop, not so much. Then again, if one is trying to catch the viewer's attention, it has obviously done that. It would be foolish not to recognize that most of the time the monitor will…

Thanks, LH, very much for this and to all the commenters for their input. I try to check out publications online annually to re-evaluate credit card rewards (I only really look at cash back-type programs with no fees—I don't fly enough for the frequent flyer things to be worth anything). Unfortunately, it is pretty…

"The medium is the message." Suck format, suck content. Can you say, "Jumped the shark"? Sure you can.

Developer of the excellent Gem roms for Droid 1 has joined the CM team. Sapphire 2.02 with a mild overclocking/undervolting kernel has given mine a new lease on life. I had CM6, but it didn't provide the smooth, quick performance of Sapphire. Hopefully, cvpcs will bring the superb droid integration of Sapphire to…

HSMM—get some!

@alexander_the_car_salamander: And his mama cried.

@mrisinger: I think that's a decepticon—watch out.

@HunterShoptaw: The dolphin brain shows a higher development and priority for moral thought, than does human brain anatomy. Somehow, seems remarkably obvious all things considered. Smith was right—we are a virus.

All these issues and comments also apply to family. Been to all these places, but couldn't even afford the lousy tee-shirts after loaning/gifting all that money!
