I use a cell phone amplifier called zBoost from NewEgg for GSM. I've had it about 3 years, and it works great. Mounted the external antenna on top of my house, and used the existing cable coax to run the signal into the amplifier that is sitting under my ass, as I type.

This tool rocks, even if you don't have a multi-orgasmic Magic Mouse. It makes the trackpad on multi-touch Macs more powerful, too.

Friend of mine spilled water all over her MBP 15". She went into the SF Apple Store, and one employee (who did not want to be named or identified) told her of this remedy through the side of his mouth in a whispered manner. Sure enough, after 2 days in rice, the MBP was reborn. She was thankful and when she went…

I need a dempsey dumpster. I've got a 20 lbs Maine Coon. *I* would be proud of some of his turds.

As soon as I jailbreak my MacBook Pro, I'm all over it.

Dude, who was your GC? Did you use an outside guy, or do it yourself? We've got a similar property in Marin, and this looks like an awesome project. #workspaces

Bringing the Myspace kind of crazy to Wordpress. Love it.

@Bokusatsu_Tenshi: Presentation? wtf? Looks like he was using a soiled pair of tidy whities to hold the otherwise slippery ice cyclinder.

Having block printing characters lessens (does not eliminate, however) the chance of expertly matching up your ransom note with your hand-writing. Just saying.

So, that's WTF stuck in my fairing when I was riding by SouthPark. Was wondering who the kiddies were.

@David Ron: Yeah, but at what cost? @aol.com? Oh, shudder. I'd rather be caught masturbating in public.

Where are the earbuds, bud?

@LorettaBoreas: I had the same operation, back in 1999 or so. My problems were facial-cranial hyperhydrosis. It is pretty debilitating if you have any public speaking or sales requirements for your job. Talk about losing trust with your audience.

You really only need 3 primary shapes: Bordeaux, Pinot (Burgundy) and a Chardonnay.

Nice, Jay. Thanks for the workaround to a significant (for me) work flow interruption using Win7. I finally get the power of my middle button back.

In Marin, we had a world-famous pizza oven designer here. Charged like $20-$40K or so for an oven, I've heard. I can think about getting off my ass to build one of these, or I can just continue playing Prototype on the PC....

Nice theme. I was using the default, too, but this one makes the currently selected tab pop out like a cake out of a bolemic.

If you read the John Lescroart novels, his main protagonist just heats up the pan, wipes it out with salt. That's it. Never had water touch it.

My fiance did this in her SF condo before we met. Got a professional in and probably paid about $7-$10K to do this. Looks nice, works, and holds about 200-250 bottles of wine. She used custom cabinetry and while she might trust me to hang a projection screen, change lightbulbs or wire Insteon throughout the house,…

@mike_311: There ought to be a law against anyone shorter than 6' who reserve the exit row. We're just now getting used to the concept that you even have the right to live, let alone occupy a valuable seat on an airplane that you don't even benefit from. Cockblockers.
