He doesn't have diplomatic immunity.

You could always check the Lenovo site. I just checked and the T520 (15.6" model) has two options for SSDs - 128GB and 160GB.

You might be securing things in the hitch, but you're not really hiding them. Anyone who sees the tumblers in a hitch will know that something is locked in there, and first guess will be that it's a spare key to the vehicle.

Aldiko is a nice ebook reader. But Google Reader is an RSS reader, not to be confused with "Google Books."

I worked with a professor who told his students that he got a lot of email and if it was important, then they should use creative subject lines to get his attention.

It is undoubtedly true that it would take very little effort on my part to actually find a plastic card of some type. I've got a gift card for a local restaurant that would serve the purpose well after we use it.

Most of the ones I get these days are card stock, not plastic. I must not rate the more expensive solicitations.

I tried reclining my chair at work. Unfortunately, I don't have the mass to make it work. I slide right out of the chair. Not enough friction between the seat of the chair and the seat of my pants.

Interesting idea. But "old" credit cards do not retain a useable form in my house past their expiration date. They're either shredded or destroyed by heat.

I don't need "meta calendars." I just want categories for events.

Baekdal repeats a common misconception in the interest of simpleness. It will never take "1,163,859 years using a brute-force method" to crack "this is fun". It might take that long to run through all of the character combinations. But, depending on the hacker's design, "This is fun" might be the 64th attempt.

People who prefer butter to processed vegetable oil.

I'm a little irritated by the branding. Truvia isn't the only source of Stevia. Personally, I prefer Trader Joe's "100% Pure Stevia" to Truvia. No additives, and you get over 1000 servings in a 1oz. container.

My HTC Aria is basically a midrange phone. It's 9 months old. If it wasn't for xda, Ice be pulling my hair out in frustration. The stock ROM is too limiting.

That depends on your phone. If you've got an Aria like I do, then plugging it back in automatically turns it back on. Silly "feature," if you ask me.

I'm rockin' froyo on my g-tab (ok, I'm never typing that again), and the updated app is right nice.

Well, wasn't there a study recently that found that people actually experience symptoms of withdrawal when deprived of their gadgets?

One of the first apps I bought for my Android phone was Tasker because of the ability to schedule "muted" times during meetings, etc. I added a profile to make the phone silent if face down, so I can quickly silence it if it's on my desk. More recently, I've got a profile that silences the phone if its upside down in…

Suede bars and brushes have been sold decades. It's essentially an eraser with a brush to get the rubber bits off the shoes when you're done. They're cheap and they last a long time.

In many instances, Amazon's selection beats Walmart's. Particularly when shopping for new tech, living in a fly-over state is a depressing experience in futility.
