@Phoshi: Devote all the time you would normally post on Lifehacker to math ;)

@zombies.like.lattes.too: Post about how you have a soul-sucking job on a public internet forum. Wait for word to get back to HR. Problem solved.

@D Wiz: Is this a riddle? There's no definitive answer. It depends entirely on how long the backup takes to clear up. Odds are sitting in traffic will get you there faster. Pulling off may be much less stressful and make the trip seem shorter.

@AD: don't use linux with a broadcom wireless chipset?

@MaxellDVD1: The peek dedicated button is for glancing at widgets on your desktop. Somewhat like the OS X's dashboard. Visually peek is much lighter than dashboard and fits better with the glass UI theme.

Or use Windows 7 shake if you need single window focus.

@criosray: That is to say: Ubuntu isn't useless to people that want to be tinkering and troubleshooting. It provides endless hours of pastime enjoyment.

@criosray: Only to people who don't want to troubleshoot issues all day. Some people enjoy the feeling of overcoming obstacles that prevent them from getting things done.

@PTB315: We're seeing more and more laptops with N since the standard was approved. Even Gateway's NV series— which starts at $480 (not on sale) has wireless N.

@Jason Fitzpatrick: @pettiblay: Thanks for the ideas. My primary video card already has two DVI ports. I'm looking to connect monitor #3 (and maybe 4). My motherboard only has 1 PCIx16 slot. I've got PCI and PCIx1 slots available. There are PCI cards on Newegg for around $50-60 shipped, but I was hoping to spend…

@pettiblay: yes.

Looks like a lot of great information. I can't wait to get home and tweak out my setup.

So the assumption is that you're caught without a paper clip or stapler, but you do happen to have scissors and are in dire need to bind sheets of paper together immediately?

@moe52: Gah!! much? :P

I've been running Windows 7 at home since the first beta. It has been a delight since day...well, 2 to be honest. Day one of the beta required finding a few updates to get networking going.

@Chris Chance: think it needs to be VOTE: Zune Social

@Phoshi: It's only working on iPhone 2G , so they're not buying iPhones to do this. I could totally see people getting fed up with the app/content censorship. You can either abide by the Book of Jobs— or Android it!

Lifehacker poll suggestion: Do you create documents collaboratively on Google/Zoho docs?

@damiththa: My guess is that Microsoft doesn't see the main purpose of this either. But people seemed jazzed that Google has it, so we'll roll out a better solution.
