Ask is being closed down, not Ask Jeeves. They got rid of Jeeves years ago... Quite disappointing to an elementary school student at the time!

I love Staples's one-subject spiral-bound notebooks. They're cheap, they let me colour-code my classes, and they're quite durable. I write quick reference things on the back cover (cardboard), such as constants and equations for my physics class, or upcoming homework assignments in history.

@TheHanna: Why didn't you simply set up sync profiles on a single Xmarks account? That's what they're there for...

@iamjames: No, it doesn't say toothpaste. It says not to apply ointments of any kind, and that the proper procedure is to run water over the burn, etc.

@iamjames: Toothpaste will dry out the skin and cause the burned area to crack, opening it for possible infections later. Yes, I know, your link says it works. You know what? I have a link, too, and it says you should *not* put ointments of any kind on burns. How reputable is your source? Mine's the Mayo Clinic. [www.m…

@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Sorry, but I'm tired. I guess I should just go chew some valerian root and get some exercise.

@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: A new laptop built by Apple leaves Foxconn. The vents are blocked by the legs of the user. The laptop overheats and burns the legs of its user. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of laptops in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the…

@iamjames: Do not use toothpaste to treat burns, please...

Apple's Remote app, anyone?

If technology makes that "quantum leap", there will be no human error for it to save us from, now will there?

VOTE: Prezi.

@tucker augie'ben'doggy: Yo dawg...

When I got to the part where you suggested they could start censoring political content and making only certain types available, I stopped reading. Bullshit. This is not how things are going to turn out, and you are simply being alarmist. Large media companies have a tendency to blow things out of proportion; it's sad…

Excuse me. You mentioned max settings. Can it run Crysis?

This has been around for a while, just not in the account settings: [www.facebook.com]

I find that this source works better than the repository flashplugin-installer if you're on a 64-bit system: [ubuntu-tweak.com]

My favourite mantra: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will…

@B3NW: The people that leave those TROJAN HORSE comments, the first downloaders, are registered users as well.

@simsmac: Hm. I'm not sure if it's capable of acting on Flash objects. Or Java, for that matter. I guess just Javascript games. I haven't played it, but maybe Mafia Wars would work? I hear it's text-based.

Fels-Naptha is another good product, but it's better for clothing. I heartily second Tecnu for poison plant contact.
