@—Core—: They're a floating food source for turtles and, prolly, many other sea critters.

@Wabbited: They'd be a bit off-put by the swords (one steel, one wood), tonfa, sai, and escrima sticks rolling around in the back of my car. Bet that wouldn't help my application, any.

@aeiluindae: Naaa, border patrol can do anything they want.

@ianturton: It's on my sysadmin's door. Right below the overly complex password requirement sheet.

Take that, Border Patrol asses!

@Eruanno: This is one of the main reasons I'm stickin' with my iPT — when I fall asleep reading and it crashes down onto my head, it doesn't kill me.

Anyone else think he was gonna put the ipad in the frying pan?

@dwroth: Teamviewer is free and works on Mac an' PC (may also be Linux-friendly).

@stainlessrat: My bane is people who WON'T read me everything when I ask them to.

I don't like Logmein; I prefer TeamViewer. Another nice aspect of TV is THEY initiate the program on their end and send me a 4-digit "pwd". This allows them to feel I'm not gonna just walk into their machine and start taking over.

I used SplashID on my Palm and thus paid the fairly steep price for the iPhone app.

@battra92: I dunno; we've been buying Lenovos for the programmers last several years and the number that've had/are having problems seems rather high for a name that's supposed to be so quality.

While we're on the subject, does anyone here have recommendation for external enclosures? Newegg carries many but most have either shocking price tags or the most dreadful ratings. I've got a 1TB drive I need to use, so fan is probably vital.

@glaeven: So far, the 10.04 beta has disappointed us terribly. I would not mind if Canonical spent another few weeks ironing out some of the unpleasantnesses.

@callit: Don't forget: with Secrets you can tweak iTunes to allow .5 star ratings. Not sure if this also allows you to create playlists such as, "only play 3.5 stars and up", however.

@McGoogles: That, too, has been accounted for in password cracking algorithms. @ for a, ! for i, etc.

@GregH: Freaking Charles Schwab limits passwords to 6-8 alphanumeric only. No characters. No ascii. No protection.
