I've used the developer sandbox or whatever for this for months. I love it. Takes a little while to get used to, but once you use the new features they're great. If you don't want to use new features then go back to whining.

OpenID is too confusing. Internet savvy people can get it with relative ease. I didn't have any problems using it for the first time when I signed up for [stackoverflow.com] (you should check it out if you're a programmer).

Where's the hive five for Linux Gnome or KDE themes?

None

@heavylee-again: I haven't seen a helpful financial adviser. Most work with or for a company and get paid to push their funds/stocks.

If your financial adviser didn't see this economic crisis and housing bubble collapse coming a few years ago then its time to fire them. Its time to listen to good advisers who saw this mess coming as early as 2002 Peter Schiff - [en.wikipedia.org] is one of the best in the world.

When using the removal tool make sure you do not have any other USB drives attached, the tool is not intelligent what so ever and only looks at the first attached USB drive which may be an external hard drive.

Definitely solid advice that should be followed no matter what the markets are doing. You should avoid debt as much as possible. Save your money and make purchases with your savings, not with credit cards. Get a high interest savings account and make interest instead of paying interest on debt.

@Milarepa: Buy gold while its at its highest point in history? Good idea 2-3 years ago, horrible idea toady. Save your money, get rid of debt and make sure your have an emergency fund. If you still have too much money after that then look into investing.

Next time will you please specify that its by a single guy living near New York City... I would have never wasted my time reading it had I known that up front. You can't compare the housing situation of NYC or Southern California to any other areas of the country. Where I live housing prices weren't affected by the…

Ubuntu-eee for me. Then some half-baked version of Mythbuntu/Ubuntu Studio.

I don't ever want to listen to someone's phone conversations, espeically while I'm flying. Its too loud on a plane to begin with so they're going to yell or the person on the other end won't hear a thing. Give people access to e-mail and instant messaging and that will be enough.

Windows Genuine Advantage made me switch. I rightfully owned my copy of XP and they came up with that garbage to ensure my copy was "genuine" (and it was). Microsoft's guilty-until-proven-innocent attitude turned me off from Windows.

Go to youtube and look up any Bodyweight exercises by TTfitness, start out with the Bodyweight 100 and work your way up to the Bodyweight 500. If you can do the 500 easily then you're ready to move on up to using actual weights.

If a girl (or guy) sleeps with you BECAUSE you have an iPhone, chances are that you're going to wake up alone and your iPhone will be missing.

That is a terrible title for Americans. When they read "eat less meat" they'll think "eat more french fries." If you change your message from "eat less meat" to "eat more fruits and vegetables" that's much more sound advice. Properly prepared lean chicken, turkey, and fish are incredibly healthy and should be…

Can web 2.0 help get that guy a shirt? No? Then web 2.0 isn't really solving my online problem right now.

It doesn't matter, anyone who knows why XP is better than Vista knows how to reformat their PC and pirate, I mean reuse, an old copy of XP. Plus Vista is the best thing to ever happen to Linux.

I found its best to keep a visual list of your priorities along with a rough draft of your schedule. That way when you're asked to do something you point to your list and ask your boss what this new request takes priority over, and if it would not take priority then show them an estimated date of when you could start…
