Please make sure you're not using "table syrup", or "Maple-flavoured syrup". I'm withholding my opinion of swill.

@david.deslauriers: Ahh, yes, the Universal Gift Certificate, redeemable at merchants everywhere.

@WordConjurer: Easy enough - tape a series of papers up throughout the house.

I loathe writing the name of the room on all boxes I own - instead I've gone out and spent $6 on 6 different coloured bingo markers.

@nolabar10der: no! Windows 7 is already a mulligan to Windows Vista.

@christopher002: There's a difference from "going after" them vs. revealing truth about one of their services.

@jupiterthunder: I think the basket warning is more of a "The child could fall out of it" type warning - without that, someone would hold them responsible for injuries that occurred to their little darling who landed headfirst after playing in the cart. "There was no warning saying not to do it! Nobody told me it…

@P_Smith: Costs a little bit ($1.50-$2?), but get copies of your keys made so you can do this... ... .. ? Same for car keys, if they don't have a chip in them you could chip away the plastic (in theory - not sure how it would really look though).

@FilterJoe: iPhone users can use CardStar - it saves the club-cards for a wide variety of cards, complete with required barcode (in many of the common varieties). DB of several hundred contains picture of store card / logo, and the card symbology. Handy to have, works great for me! And it's free!

I think I just peed a little: The page is available to me when I hit it, and my account is still active. Too bad my ISP responds to *IAA notices with a 3 strikes policy.... :(

a 6' cable - not an issue. Buy a new one.

I've said it before, I've said it again: if you've got an iPhone, get BargainBin - it's a deal-lover's wet dream. Reports on iPhone software that's changed prices / is free, categorized and sorted by date (Can view the "Bargain" or the "Free" software selection). I highly recommend it.

@at80eighty: I guess you'll have to go back to your old idea of "A pulse".

if it hasn't been noted: there is an iPhone app (Apple-approved even!) called BargainBin - this lets you know price drops of apps within the iTunes store (Drops or Free - separate areas), is categorized, updated very frequently (push notifications if turned on), has watch lists (Watch for an app to be discounted), and…

More ISP's are getting *IAA notices for clients who are downloading "questionable" material (Let's face it - TPB isn't for "linux iso's", it's mainly movies, software, music, tv shows, and other things that you know better than to download).

For people who use a modicum of sense, this article is a good one.

@lankysob: You can't think of them in terms of "A directory with subdirectories in it" (Standard windows theory of file navigation). Instead, you've got to remember that these are, essentially, junction points (or Links in the land of the 'nix).

I think this will be very useful, and increase most people's use of libraries (if they're readily available and easily identifiable, they're less likely to be ignored).

@MePerson: You get what you pay for. NOD, typically I find, uses little CPU, little RAM, runs quickly and transparently, doesn't pop up messages constantly (other than small definition updates, and it's nice to see that happen 3-6 times a day), and actually does get rid of viruses (Malware is still new, but it's…

@whyeverso: I like your argument. And if I were making money off of people poking themselves in the eye to avoid the $20 fee, I'd like it much more.
