Meh, I prefer actually carrying money and an ID too, fancy that. I guess I see some of the appeal of these phone cases, but they're just too limiting (and anything large enough to carry what I need would feel bulky against my ear)

This, as per lifehacker's amazing ability to know exactly what I'm planning to do, is extremely topical.

"better of buying a smaller drive now, as long as it'll get you *by, not buy*"

Sounds like they might actually finally be building in all the little apps they've left out for so many years—a Preview-style app, ISO mounting, a real disk usage checker

Alternate possibility if you don't want to pay for hosting but don't want the domain to point nowhere, park a wordpress on there. You can rig one up to not look like a blog and fill out whatever basic information you need, and it looks reasonably professional with the right themes. Wordpress does charge like eight…

Steam sales, as well as just being behind the curve. For instance, I just bought the orange box. AMAZING and enough video gaming bang to keep me occupied for a long time, for like 25 bucks. You could call it the xkcd school of game buying, with the corresponding downsides: [xkcd.com]

I know thats a problem for me too, and especially because it loads the first thirty posts, not the most recent...

except how can we not know how much ram is in them? No ones torn open a tab yet?

@flinx1 @thefu @dboudwin @virgilstar @jeffabrahams Thanks for all the responses! I really appreciate it. Some more specifics: we already shoot video with a t2i and have been happy with it so far, but focus is a huge issue.

Yeah, windows, that would be me. I was hoping someone would have figured out some way to do it in a more web service sort of way, perhaps having a service automatically log into an account and post. I'm probably not tech-savvy enough/willing to spend enough time on this to deal with command line. thanks though...

Is there any way to post to the open thread remotely when it goes up? As in, have a comment ready, and have some sort of a service post it for you? Perhaps a delayed email? Lots of people are at work or school, and this is the first one I've hit in months because I happen to be home right now

Say you were the photo editor of a high school paper that just got a $20,000 grant to do video news. How would you outfit the paper to do it? We're debating between slrs and camcorders, we're getting mics and tripods, we're thinking about lighting. Does anyone have any suggestions for video editing software for…

Does anyone know a tool, either some sort of a plugin for word or even just a service I can copy and paste my writing into that will analyze it and look for repetitive word choice? My worst habit when writing essays is to overuse certain adjectives and verbs without realizing it.

It is here in the US at least. Thanks!

Really? I'll have to try that, thanks. But I know I could just have googled it and found another article from another site on the same topic, but I figured by commenting it might be a reminder to the staff not to post paywalled articles without at least a warning or alternate link.

The Clinton article is on the WSJ and behind a paywall. Anyone who has a subscription read and can say what she's proposing? Is she calling for better standards ala html5 or something involving more government control of the internet?

TRUTH. Seriously people, hold your horses, it'll be worth it. I've talked several of my friends out of jumping ship right now in favor of waiting

Yeah, it is for me too

yeah, man. I'm really not feeling it.

@kjl1115: Do you really think "new, large demonstrations against the regime" are looming? Americans have an incredibly deeply ingrained trust and confidence in our regime, it's probably our most defining national characteristic. Even if we remained mired in recession, do you think people are going to demand the end…
