My wife requires both. She works from home currently (when she's not in Switzerland or South Africa or Canada or Kazakhstan), and has at least one conference call a day. She easily burns on cordless phone battery everyday, and sometimes two. Good thing we've got 4 phones to choose from!

I remember an argument I was having with a friend - about 10 years ago.

I installed on a new hard drive on my laptop.

@danger the pirate: Yep!

Shall we ban Arial and Courier as well for being "overused"?

@TheFu: Lovely. It's what I'm running into right now. Not going to futz with it right this minute though.

I find it fascinating that I'm installing 64-bit Windows 7 on a 32-bit 2003 Server. Just to play with 64-bit. My laptop is currently running Win 7, but only 32-bit mode, I just upgraded it to 4GB. And it's interesting that it's not even using a full 3GB! Not a problem, since once I get Win 7 Gold, I'll be…

I never understood why you needed to be logged in.

Wow. I can actually get Delicious to remember my username and password now. That got flipped when they went from del.icio.us to delicious.com.

F11 is built in. :)

I have a Skinny Wallet (.net) that I use for my cards, and I have a rubber bad for my cash. I had a magnetic money holder, but I managed to lose that (with $5, luckily for me).

Got in. I had to wait 20 minutes from the interstate to drive the block to the restaurant (should have gone the other way), and the friend that I thought would have beat me there I ended up waiting (after being late anyways) for an hour, which was pretty much right before we actually got IN the place.

1990 Gran Marquis, bought it with just over 100K on it and put that + on it afterwords. But after the second AC compressor bit it, and it developed it's second short that drained the battery in less than 24 hours, I figured 17 years was enough, especially when spending $1k+ on a compressor and not knowing it was…

Years ago (15?) I had a server that was acting funky. I would run Memtest on it over the weekend with no problems, but Novell and MS Mail were constantly corrupting files. It took a new hard drive and new memory to get it working correctly. Although I really blame the memory. I suspect Novell's memory mode wasn't…

@Chris Coyier: Duh! That's why I haven't deleted my account! :) There's a reason why I reported what I reported. I want it fixed! :-p I'm looking forward to a more gentler SMSing at least! I just posted my experiences, YMMV, HAND!

I tried it. It is definitely buggy. I get notifications that it's back up when I didn't get a notification that it went down, I get notifications that it went down when it certainly is still up. And then I don't get the notification that it's up, I get another email that it's down yet again.

My desktop went down (bad motherboard) and the only thing I had available was a crappy Dell laptop with enough memory to run 2000 Pro, but my old desktop that was now being used by my kids was still going strong and still running Server 2003 as a workstation. :) So I used my laptop to RDP to it where I had much more…

You know, Google should be tracking what email address the message came from, and when replying, use that email address. Then default to the Gmail address if there isn't a matching address. And if I tell it a different address, Gmail still sends it out under the Gmail address, which is pretty problematic when your…

My stupid idiot step-daughter is constantly doing this. Every little pain, every little ache.
