I've been working from home since the mid '90's and have always been in sales, so was on the road more than at home. In sales, there is no 9 to 5 anyway and you are typically expected to do reporting, training, proposal prep, etc. after business hours in addition to having to drive home from wherever you may be. It…

@korrupt9187: You don't say what year you are in school, but rule number one in dealing with loss of motivation is to get physical. Move. Put down the booze, the video games, the PC and get outside and do something physical. Run, jog, chop wood, play frisbee—whatever, as long as it involves movement and sweat. …

@MBGooner: I got my daughter the Acer 4810—great little notebook and the battery claims are accurate. She routinely goes 10 hours or more on a single charge. Great display, too.

@DaveyNC: D'oh! I should read the download instructions all the way through. No problems.

Getting a WOT warning when I click on the download link.

@SpudDude: True dat.

Gutters, or a French drain. Either would avoid that Clampett look.

@eternaluxe: If you mean the chicken he handles about 2 minutes in, no, that is not it.

I've Googled like crazy trying to find a Julia Child/Jacques Pepin episode where he showed a unique way to roast a turkey that is hands down the best way to prepare a turkey that you will ever see. This is the best that I could do: [goo.gl] You'll just have to check your local PBS station to see if you can catch it.

@imstillatwork: Frightened? Hell, no—I'm glad they're working for us!

@Ali Khan: They move much faster than the sound of the boom. Note the references to the silence in the article.

Mach. 3 point f'n 5. 100,000 cubic feet of air intake per SECOND. Jeebus, what a piece of tech! All designed on the cheap at the original Skunk Works. Just an amazing achievement!

@Kenton Sanchez: No, my logic does not mean what you said. Anybody who tans (white folks, mostly) need sunscreen. Hawkwing6 tans, therefore he needs sunscreen.

@Hawkwing6: You're just asking for skin cancer. Tans don't protect you from the damage that the sun can do. I used to do landscaping and I slathered the No-Ad on at least twice a day. I still use sunscreen, even on a cloudy day and even though I don't work outside any longer.

Been using Lubriderm for the last couple of years, it's a really good product. You can go even cheaper if you can find No-Ad. No-Ad seems like a natural fit for the ad-hating Lifehacker community.

@VagrantRadio: Do you allow for the possibility that a thief may have scouted out a hotel that has the ideal setup? That maybe, just maybe, he isn't just randomly walking in to hotels?

Privacy concerns have kept me from using nearly all social media sites. Zuckerman's lack of ethics mean that Facebook is the last that I would even consider.

I've been using ReadItLater in Chrome for a few weeks now.

2-3 years ago I bought a 20 pack of knockoff Gillette Atra plus blades at the local Dollar Store for maybe $4. I still have about 3 left, or enough to last me another year or so. They're lasting longer now because I started dunking them in rubbing alcohol and then letting them dry. The blade in it now has been in…

@oh.mylittletree: Ewww. No water for you!
