@Haynes Chewning: It would be nice to have some numbers to compare. I've bought numerous cooling pads for $10-$40. I haven't replaced an internal laptop fan.

Highlighting that Luxottica makes all of these sunglasses falsely implies that they are consequently all be the same quality — as if one company is incapable of making both high and low quality products.

I suppose it saves me the step of "quickly access a different site to make sure the problem isn't with my connection".

So where is Gizmodo in all of this? Panda? Lobster? A 12th dimension filled with blue balls?

Sweet! Now if they figured out how to put a motor on that thing.

@coreyog: Check out the pics on Amazon. It looks like they come in a sealed pill casing style wrapper to keep out moisture. Now if that casing gets punctured, your warning could come to fruition.

I hate when I read a LH post a week too late. I was replacing a window last week that was a little too big for the brick enclosure. We trimmed it down and were thinking some lubricant on the frame's edges would really help, but we opted against it because of the clean up. Some KY Jelly or something that would hose…

@Realityism ▲: I love grammar Nazis ... ever since Ms. Jacobi in 5th grade.

This is brilliant. I'm all about getting credit for anything I do. I have to rate any movie I've ever seen on rottentomatoes and netflix. Getting to post books I've read on goodreads has tripled my reading output. It's sad, really, but it works for me.

@YellowRex: If I second your double post, can I make it count quadruple?

This would be terrible. We'd end up with whole new line of snooty people who'd say, "I only eat my sandwiches from a bottle." And I'd be one of them.

Anyone know of a search engine that uses regular expressions? Google's Code Search uses them, but as far as I can tell, their main search engine does not.

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): This question can be phrased better. Supposed we determined that we could save 600 million lives over the next 20 years by forcefully testing everyone in the world for HIV and exterminating the 50 million HIV positive people alive today. A purely logical morality…

I don't understand how Google - the kings of simple, user friendly layouts - managed to create such a cluttered, unfriendly calendar to begin with. I tried it for a month and couldn't stand it. Learning about GCal may get me to reconsider trying Google's calendar again.

Go, Froyo. I hope someday you will find your way into my droid update.

@bloknayrb: I second that. It shows good hardware can't make up for bad software. I wonder if the camera update in froyo will help.

Bad subject lines:

Hmmm, this is a great idea for how to hack into LH users' accounts. 1. Post on LH. 2. Save all passwords entered shortly after the post. 3. Collect user names from comments on post. 4. Turn a trillion years into two minutes by entering the permutations.

Commenting on websites.

People, people. Have you no understanding of the "mega" in megacorporation? Aliens use Windows, shop at Target, and drink at Starbucks. And they are picky customers. Vista and $4 lattes were responsible for the last attack.
