He can't say.

Fortunately, Gordo has gotten much better on stage since he eased up on the sauce. Saw him a couple of years ago in NYC and he was pretty good. And not a skunk in sight!

When you put your contact info on the camera, the thief will know where to send a thank-you note!

The two-part lid is designed for canning. When food is vacuum sealed from the canning process (or if you use a vacuum sealer and not canning), the disk is all you really need. Air pressure keeps it pressed onto the jar. The ring is just for extra protection.

I've been using the Synology Cube Station (pictured above the headline) for several years in my office. The thing is excellent — fast, reliable, and secure. We do a lot of multimedia editing, and the Cube handles huge files without a problem.

If I calculate correctly, $120 million is what the U.S. spent each day at the height of the Iraq war (about $1 billion per week). So hells yeah, do it. And send the bill to Halliburton.

We used these things in junior high school, just without the gun. Throw the pellet, and run away.

At least they spelled America correctly, this time.

You mean Amy Farrah Fowler!

Isn't the Surface made with Corning Gorilla Glass? That should make the screen a lot more durable (though I'm very careful when carrying my gadgets, anyway).

That holds true if your water gets delivered by electric pump. But if the water gets delivered by gravity and pressure, then toilets and sinks will still work without electricity.

Carbs get a bad rap, but they're not all the same. Simple carbs, like sugar and white bread are empty calories. But muscles depend on glycogen for fuel, and your body produces glycogen from complex carbs, which come from whole, unprocessed grains. And when you burn glycogen for fuel, it's clean; there are no unhealthy…

It was really fun when the Pennsylvania Turnpike converted from sequential exit numbers to mileage-based exit numbers. They had both numbers on the signs for a while, but now I find it more confusing.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If the kids bang them up or lose them, it won't be a big loss. My only question is what else might be happening in the production to keep the price down, like pollution or poor working conditions. That is, is it any worse than higher priced e-readers?

Heat is simply the way we measure the movement of atoms. The slower they move around, the colder it gets. So how much slower can an atom get than "not moving"?

I've started digitizing incoming paper, using Microsoft OneNote and Adobe Acrobat. So when I get a receipt that I want to hold onto, I scan it directly into the Purchases section of my notebook and make the image searchable. If I have a stack of papers that's too big for OneNote, I scan it into Acrobat and save it as…

So these American cities are now flyovers in both meanings of the word.

Oh, the irony. An article with a video about iPad theft, and there is no video to see when viewing this page with my iPad.

It seems to me that the purpose of FS is to tell burglars where you are and what's the minimum time that you will get home.

People who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who really do.
