I used this a few months ago to alleviate some "image persistence" problems I had on my 20" Dell LCD. It seemed to help for a few weeks, so now I run it overnight when I notice problems, and it clears it up for a period.

I've been using Ritek G05s for quite some time, with very good success. However, like any burned media, I know that they won't last forever, so important stuff is backed up using multiple storage methods.

Thanks to my maternal grandfather, I started losing my hair around 23. The only good thing, is that it's not the standard "back of your head" balding, but the overall thinning, and increasingly prominent widow's peak.

As much as I love David Pogue, his methodology and terminology is a bit flawed. I won't go in to technical details behind ppi, dpi, printing method and overall image quality. Then there's also the fact that he started with a 13 megapixel image, and downsampled it, presumably with Photoshop, or something else that has…

You can also delete the word to the left of the insertion point by pressing Option-Delete.

Mine doesn't seem to work. I get a weird error.

I would have to disagree with the article about selling certain electronics on eBay. I made a killing selling my 4G 30GB iPod photo, and my girlfriend's 2G 4GB iPod mini. I got approximately $110 more than the best offer I got on Craigslist, even adjusted for eBay/Paypal fees.

I have not purchased something while drunk, but I did notice during high school that I could touch type just about as fast sober as I could drunk. It was a clear sign that I was a true geek.

I never knew the trick about shift and scrollwheel for horizontal scrolling. Thanks for the tip :-)

major, It's also helpful if you're a laptop user, and you keep one set of music on your external hard drive because it's much larger, and one smaller subset on your laptop's built-in hard drive for when you're on the go.

Similar to Libra is Doug Adam's iTunes Library Manager, which also has limited use now that iTunes supports multiple libraries.

A lot of the Series "2.5" boxes (Humax T800, TiVo TCD5400) aren't able to take software hacks without resoldering the PROM at this point.

Use a digital, instant read meat thermometer. Real chefs use one, because there's no guesswork about what temperature the inside is. I like my burgers in the 140°F range, and rest them under foil for about 5 minutes to reclaim juices, and finish carryover cooking. Experiment and figure out what temperature is perfect…

spicedham: As I recall, text clippings were introduced in System 7.5 or 7.6.

On Mac OS X, you can also drag images straight off of webpages directly to the desktop (or another folder).

Lighting is the easiest way to make a video look less like a home movie and more like a semi-professional video. Add a few extra lamps in some key places, and you'll suddenly have a much nicer looking video.

I'm interested to see how it runs via Parallels Desktop on my MacBook Pro. Until recently, Parallels didn't support Vista.

Ah shucks, now that they're allowing new commenters, I might not have to try my hardest to become one. In the words of Groucho Marx, "I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member"
