@kijoshua:

Yes, and it's pretty worrisome. I know how to use google to be highly specific and find what I need, but it was nice when with no advanced methods it would "just work". Now it seems like there's always wikipedia, a host of wiki clones, something from eHow and/or wikiHow, something from about.com, and then a mass of…

@geekworking: can't you just skim the source of the page and see that (as he says) the code doesn't store any data and it's just browser-side javascript?

@curlymeatball38: [thenextweb.com] does

VOTE: Notepad++

Bloody hell. I am definitely not looking forward to moving all my team projects back to email. That's really disappointing.

I had wonderful warranty service with Dell. (I bought the full extended plan, had an Inspiron 6000 for 5 years, and probably every component in the laptop replaced 3 times); some things I learned:

Anything that's not distracting: nothing with vocals that grab my attention, nothing with solos that grab my attention, etc. This has ended up being a mix of electronica, classical, jazz, new age-y, neoclassical (I don't know how other people refer to artists like Bond or Vanessa Mae), instrumental soundtracks, some…

@Ghostnappa9001: The plugin definitely exists and is more stable now than ever before. It's here: [code.google.com]

@Buster Friendly: I think there are a few different ways this could work. The trick is to obfuscate how you get from the url to the unique id at the end. One option might be to convert [box.com] to its alphanumeric product or sum ([2*15*24, 2+15+24]) and append that to the end of your base password. The number of…

Having restricted dietary choices (e.g. vegetarian, celiac, lactose intolerant, halal, kosher, etc.) would screw with any restaurant menu design campaign that wasn't catered to them; i.e. if you eliminate all items with meat in them from the get-go, then your set of comparison is dramatically different than what…

More screens, not larger. I use a 15.4" laptop for almost everything I do (and haul it everywhere). When I want more space, I hook it to a 14" laptop with MaxiVista. I run all programs maximized, so the multi-monitor setup is useful when multi-tasking (say, doing a research essay with sources on one monitor and Word…

Once Wave gets out of Alpha, I would certainly use that: the ability for others to private-reply in line to gift ideas and comment on what they're each getting you would be great.

On my Dell Inspiron 6000, getting an extended warranty has been an undoubted blessing. I first bought it with 3 year support, and then bought an additional 2 years when offered; I've more than made that up in parts. The motherboard has had to be replaced 2-3 times, the screen 2-3 times, the keyboard twice, the speaker…

@Chris Raimondi:

@burnblue: I had mine on a network-attached USB hard-drive initially. Got it up to 70%, before I realized that the hard drive was physically adjacent to my laptop and I could just plug it in here directly [and thereby mess up the rest of the family, but c'est la vie]. It dropped to 50% on reconnection.

@McNamron: In the [picasa.ini] files that Picasa generates in each folder, there are lines like:

@McNamron: I saw that, but I don't believe it supports the facial tags that would make Picasa amazingly useful (so you don't have to manually tag things once they reach said Facebook).

I've been running Picasa on cataloguing thousands of photos with hundreds of different tagged people. It has been generally fairly effective, but extremely slow. Running off a USB 2.0 connection to an external hard drive, I left it running continuously for multiple days, and it still is only at around 85% complete.…

As Buster said, [homokaasu.org] will work; we printed a 40' by 30' banner with it, all on 8.5 by 11, and then taped it all together (on the back of the pages). It leaves a margin you can use.
