After your article on CloudApp I've been using that and loving it. It has this same functionality, but it's Mac only.

@mgpcoe: I ordered a new one yesterday from a deal on 9t05 Mac for 89 cents and free shipping.

@andreasr2d2: Wow, I did some searching and didn't run across those articles, but they explain the exact same problem. It still confuses me why I can watch the TV while using WiFi, but as soon as the TV communicates with the MacBook, it interferes. I'll try changing my router's channel when I get home. Thanks for the…

@ayellen: Like others have said, IPA FTW! I wouldn't recommend soaking it, as the alcohol could be strong enough to weaken some rubbers/plastics/glues in the remote. If you take it apart as much as you can and splash it with IPA (isopropanol, rubbing alcohol, whatever you want to call it), and use like a Qtip to scrub…

@chris0089: You may be expecting a little too much. Why would someone pay you $150 when they can buy refurb from Apple with a warranty for the same price (or less, depending on the model)?

Good Friday, friends!

no mention of uTorrent? I actually prefer that to Transmission.

@tomsomething: Seriously. This might be the tipping point to make me move from Safari to Chrome on my Mac.

@TehBeardMan: I second that. I switched to VLC for everything video and never looked back.

@Kiri Komori: This could be one case where the Wii is superior, giving some mental and physical exercise simultaneously.

@bostonguy: Mine heats pretty gradually. Also if it doesn't turn on for an hour, the ceramic has a chance to warm closer to room temp. I can't guarantee anything, but mine hasn't cracked yet.

@AmphetamineCrown: I put the whole ceramic pot with food prepared in the fridge the night before so it stays cold. Then it nearly boils for hours, which probably kills some bacteria, and stays hot until it's served. I've done this dozens of times, with up to 2 hrs before and after cook time, and I've never gotten sick.

@chucky2jimmy: I don't know about that. My girlfriend has really crappy nonstick pans and I can't stand cooking on them. I have nice ones and love them, especially for eggs.

@GreasyPig: You have a wooden spatula?

@asl4u: Keep in mind he's using this technique with a very interesting breed of humans: programmers. They have different social needs.

Alternatively, I like to use the term "bad" very frequently, but use it like I'm in the early 90s and it's Michael Jackson's "bad," which is good.

@Cornflower: Exactly. These situations come up maybe thrice annually, but when they do I'm glad I have a check on me.

@nerdsavant: Not necessarily. I carry a spare car key in my wallet, and my wallet and back pockets are fine. It's a bit shorter and flatter than this pen, but still.

@pschroeter: That's bloody brilliant. At work macros are disabled for security BS, so I didn't even think of it, but it works great at home. Thanks!

I would kill for a "paste sans format" option in word. Seriously, who do I need to kill for that?
