@theresahedgehog: It must be fixed because using only the first 8 chars of my password didn't log me in

They should have used the file extension .WTF given the response those who send these files will receive.

@mamacita: That's excellent. My wife and I have a similar rule that we try to answer requests for our time when we're in a bad mood. It's much easier to say 'no' when we're edgy.

@clockradio: You're definitely right that the chance of getting an H vs T is always 50/50 for any coin flip. So past flips don't change the probability of future flips.

The table mislabels probabilities as "odds".

@Vifon: It's easy to see in the simple case of HHH vs THH. If you think this game through, the only way HHH can win is if the very first three tosses are all H.

I love the "ilovemarcus" tip. I wonder if something like "openshellandtypepasswd" would work too.

@PhippsyB: EasyTether also works without rooting for the root-averse.

I'm surprised this came from a computer science student. When I'm working on a highly involved program, it takes a good 30 minutes to get my brain loaded up with all the different pieces I need to intertwine.

This advice needs some common sense hedging. If the "doing" is going to take 100+ hours of your time, you damn well better figure out if your idea is worth anything before you invest all that time into it. Maybe put 10-20 hours in and then evaluate. You have to be able to cut your losses early on ideas that turn…

@devnull: Hear hear.

@kellanpan, @chaimc: I appreciate the honesty in the add on's name. They could have called it "stealth browser" or something catchy and less honest.

About once a month, I use a Wet Ones citrus scent hand and face wipe on my Droid. The active antibacterial ingredient is benzethonium chloride. I'd be more cautious if I didn't have a screen saver film protecting the touch screen. It's worked with no ill effects for the last 6 months.

This looks pretty slick. The inclusion of hash tags, easy sorting, deadlines, and sharing are very nice. The video was strangely entertaining.
