And my cats would destroy everything there in an hour.

Maybe I'm not like most people, but I'm very busy and run a business. So I have important enough emails all day long.

Often a project I'm working on involves many documents, many folders, many applications.

I use strong passwords on the really important stuff: banks, accounts tied to a credit card, etc.

I guess I use the typical granny knot. I just double-tie it. Never comes undone.

@RoofCoffeeCup: Really? Why would they do that? I don't get it?

@baest: I have to agree with this. Some of these deals aren't even that great. Skip out on the "$90 was $100!!" ones and put up the really, really good deals like you did before.

When it comes to many (most?) industries and careers- I really think a personal domain makes you look MUCH more professional.

Nowadays I don't think I've ever had a problem getting drivers. The sheer majority of hardware I use seems to instantly install with no hassles.

Being fidgety isn't the only answer, but this theory may have some merit. I'm very fidgety, I pace when I'm on the phone. Heck, I pace when I'm thinking deeply about something. And indeed, I am very skinny.

@Orion126: Well, Whole Foods is notoriously overpriced- especially for beef. I'll buy from them from time to time because I'm in the area.

Keep the heat on, turn the water off to any pipes going outside or through the garage, open every outdoor faucet (there will be no water coming out- but you want no water trapped in the freezing pipes!)

@JerryA: Not sure if this is true- I had to pay for Boingo on 12/10 in Midway Chicago.

I drink mostly vodka and ginger ale, but often switch to more exotic stuff like a Negroni, etc.

@redlandmover: Right, who cares? Most of the time you're linking to a site thats not yours... I've never come across an occasion where I explicitly didn't want something indexed.

@izzy9985: I thought it was Linux? Isn't it really just a new skin on some flavor of Linux?

Do people really like light text on a dark (black- which is even worse) background?

@pdok: Not sure what you're getting at here, but indeed web sites and other media from around the beginning of the first big dot-com boom had an aesthetic that can be pinpointed.

@Gotlactose: I like CCleaner, but I find it also grabs too many cookies. Cookies don't bother me, they can't hurt me, and I don't consider them any sort of malware.

@Buster Friendly: I think you're asking the same question as I was going to. Once I make this VHD file- can I easily restore the actual, physical drive some day?
