@wickedcupofjoe: I'm with your hubby on this one. I just discovered the way the tipster pairs their socks and it's great at being gentle on the elastic. (I was searching LH to see if the trick had ever been posted. I'm glad to see it had.)

Sinek's not named Ted.

@jd: Perhaps a different wording — "Technology that has thus far survived the test of time is more likely to continue doing so than a new unproven technology."

For this to be effective, you'd need to use a pass code you could quickly remember under pressure without help. And that could lead to some fun with ...

I can't count how many gift cards have expired on me, leaving me feeling lousy for not getting to them in time, and hating the person who gave them to me for making me feel that way with their stupid present.

A sure way to fail at one goal is to make five others at the same time.

@lh.20.confuscious: Ditto. I strained my back and spent a year using a makeshift standing desk because sitting for 8 hours would kill my back. I've since resumed using my sitting desk most days, but I still like the energetic feeling a standing desk gives me.

Some people are indeed running late because they are rude and selfish — or better said, they are exerting their power through making others wait. But that is only one type of habitually late person. In Never Be Late Again [www.amazon.com] Diana DeLonzor describes seven types of people who are chronically late. (And…

@The Real Steve: I use FaxZero.

@zaxour: My redundancy alarms buzzes whenever I see statements like "We fed the horses, pigs, etc..., and went inside." An ellipsis is a poor substitute for "etc." and a lousy addition to it.

Sweet. Ethercodes designers, any chance of adding code recognition for LaTex and R?

@comrade_leviathan: Ah, good point. My question should have been why would the person who got a picture of the culprit give the photo to the police instead of 4chan?

Someone photographs the guy burning on the rail, but no one gets a picture of the guy who threw him on it?!

@Telecinision: I skip the cloning step myself, opting to just copy all my files to an external drive. However, I'm confident my docs, jpegs, and mp3s will all open up fine on any other machine and any software I use will reinstall without a problem. For others, those assumptions may be risky enough that cloning is…

Ubuntu noobie question: Can anyone point me to an up-to-date, easy-to-follow, set of instructions for installing adobe flash player for firefox (32 bit)?

I use itsdeductible.com to track my item donations, along with my monetary ones. It synchs with turbotax.com, making that section of my taxes easy.

An app like this would be great if it would work, but I don't see a working version for years. As mentioned in the article, the fatal flaw is getting the data. Restaurants have no motivation for posting honest wait times. Same for users. I imagine I'm waiting in line at a restaurant with friends. I'm going to go…

Doctor Doom invented armor comparable to Tony Stark's, spells on par with Dr. Strange, and all sorts of ways to get the little people to do the will of DOOM.

Sorry the image is so big. It should be smaller.
