@wickedcupofjoe: Agreed. This is one of the best desktops shown lately.

@SJRNWT: Frostwire and TPB as well. I buy CD albums only AFTER I've downloaded my fill, and that's only if I like all the music on the album. We all know what's it like to get your hands on an album and only enjoy 2 out 14 songs; it's aggravating. Besides, they should be happy that someone actually ENJOYS some of…

Skype FTW! I just install it onto my cell and the only thing I have to worry about is where to find wifi hotspots, which is also easy due to the program I have installed for that as well.

@Denver80203: I do the same every year, I go to Roatan of the Honduran coast for scuba. I always bring my cell phone, partly because I use it as an mp3 player, but mainly because I have Skype installed onto it, and the resort I stay at (Coco View) has free wifi. So while my cell's service may not work, I can still use…

I'm definitely bookmarking this entry for future reference.

If you notice the artists in the pictures of all six programs listed, it's nothing but Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam...and can you blame them?

@idodialog: Normally I might agree with you. I find coffee perfect the way it is, especially since I live around New Orleans, with some of the best coffee in the world. However, you shouldn't limit your views based on nostalgia and tradition. Coffee, like recipes, can be tweaked and experimented with. There's no…

@critiquer: Don't be insulting, we read it. Your missing our point. Often, we've never done some things before, but with a little creativity, general know-how, and common sense (plus the occasional research), we can remedy things we've never done before.

@pkoutoul: Agreed, I do virtually everything myself. The only times I've called a pro was to grind out a tree stump or to reline my pool.

@Daisuke Matsuzaka: I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Life is only as good as your pancake.

@evan_phi: Same here, I just ladle. One ladle-full (depending on your ladle) is about 1/2 cup, which will produce approximately a 6" pancake. No mucking about with funnels and condiment bottles. I can see how the bottle would be nice to store the batter for long periods of time, but I make my batter from scratch, none…

I absolutely HATE these spams! I get, literally, 5, count em, 5 calls a DAY at least, from spammers telling me "this is your last chance to bla bla bla your credit card account. Press 3 to be put on our fake Do-Not-Call List." This has been going on for probably half a year now, it's insane. At least 5 calls a day,…

I live in an area with bad cell reception, so I keep my land-line around. Why not just use VoIP? For emergency reasons. If the electricity goes out, for example...

@squishyalt: WOKKA WOKKA!

@chelsel: Really? You're being sarcastic right?

My flash drive contains at all times: Ubuntu, Knoppix, Vidalia/TOR/Privoxy, PeerGuardian 2, and OphCrack plus a few other miscellaneous programs.

@majortom1029: Most network admins for school systems aren't teachers. They're hired third-party by the school board. So they're typically not present or operating on other schools' systems during an attempted hack.

Plus oregano, basil, sage, and tarragon.

I keep a potted herb garden for all my culinary needs. Bay, thyme, mint, chives, parsley, rosemary, cilantro, scallions, et al. It really comes in handy and isn't terribly demanding.

@davezatz: lol mmm and a greasy hashbrown
