The big issue for any digital app is whether you need access from various machines or even platforms. Onenote might be great if you're just a windows user and on one main machine, or circus ponies for the Mac. Evernote and simple note have the platform thing covered since they can be used on a wide range of platforms.…

I replied but now can't find the reply. I like your post. Made me smile. I was just going to add that you don't need to be a theist to believe that life is miraculous of course. In fact being a theist sometimes gets in the way of that observation.

Nice.

Yes well then you have a problem. They do make little seals that fit on the inside of the cover plate. With a bit of dap you could probably seal it tight. Also saves energy in the winter.

For the sake of your dog you should get rid of the fleas. But then try to prevent your dog from becoming reinfested.

I guess your point is that someone like a Hitler (I call this the Hitler argument, bin Laden is the new version of this) has no right to life. I don't actually agree. I think even evil people, assuming a simple view that these people are just evil, have a right to life and basic treatment such as not being tortured.…

A couple of alternatives. 1) drag the file(s) and hit your expose shortcut key, or mission control while dragging and then you can use all of the magic of spaces / expose to hover over the relevant window. You can hit expose and drag to the dock icon to show just the windows of a particular app. You can switch to…

I would probably have given a bit more thought to a career path with a "b" and "c" plan. For instance, taking courses in an area that is teachable at the high school level and / or taking social science if you're not in science or engineering opens up job pathways in counseling and other cushy jobs. I just took the…

Windows -e lets windows users jump to explorer. This shortcut is the envy of the Mac user far and wide. For the os x user probably the most important shortcut to know right away is command - space, which opens spotlight search from where you can launch any app or find and launch docs. One of the weird things for those…

Joining the conversation a bit late, but for os x there's a great little app called gas mask, which is free and can manage multiple hosts files and other stuff. Nice app. Check it out. It's also a great way to block distracting sites. With gas mask you could set up a work profile and switch it on to block sites you…

Funny how the west invades Libya but has done nothing about Syria. We're up to the same shameful nonsense of propping up dictators whenever it serves our interests and bringing down regimes once they get in the way of our greedy life styles that need most of the world's resources to happen. Anyhow, before we go…

So I want to send my friend a 600 gb file but I don't want to put it on dropbox. What's the best way to do this for free?

You're welcome. Check out some very cool vids on him on youtube. [www.youtube.com]

I haven't had roaches in years. But I currently have ants, lots of them. I've started filling all holes with calk in the kitchen. Anyhow, I find when I don't kill them I actually mind them a lot less. They go away as soon as the weather chills. In the east it is common in some cultures to make your peace with insects…

Personally I minimize killing or harming all life intentionally and where I can easily avoid doing so. This involves a bit of planning and the patience to live catch some insects that get in. You can buy little insect catchers that will suck them into a chamber without harm and then you can release them. Personally I…

Good story. They will replace out of warranty and this does induce serious product loyalty. It's probably up to the individual's discretion and also depends on known problems. I had a Touch out of warranty and even after I answered to the affirmative that I dropped it they replaced it on the spot with a smile.

Yes, excellent technique. Breasts can be persuasive indeed.

Better crocks have a water seal around them and omit any bad smell.

The real stuff should not give you gas unless you're very quite toxic. Try introducing probiotic foods gradually into your diet to build up beneficial bacteria in your gut.
