This is exactly why I went with a lease. I was able to talk them into knocking off a few thousand dollars from the value of the car because I was getting a 2010 model toward the end of 2010. Then I kept asking for a lower money factor until it matched an excellent interest rate (approximate interest rate = money…

It depends on how your calendar is coded in the first place, but you'd most likely just do something along the lines of "if date < 10 then date_string="0#{date}" if it's set up to store the dates as an array.

I did something similar. The only way I could get it right without having to adjust it every month was to use a fixed-width font.

Your calendar seems to have skipped a Sunday or two.

I'm calling mulligan and blaming the vicodin and ripped stitches for my inability to read this morning. o.OOO

Ouch. I'm not prepared to handle embarrassment this early in the morning.

I have a feeling that this article will be forwarded to our less tech-inclined family and friends rather than being put to use by the actual lifehacker crowd. Good stuff though. I had no idea what a .dmg file was for the first 5 minutes after I got my Macbook and I know it took my mom a LOT longer than that.

Huh, thanks, I might actually do this now. Without your idea for taking it a step further I would just continue balling up the fitted sheets in the back of the cabinet.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same type of zooming. On a Mac, ctrl+scroll zooms in and out on the entire screen, not just the browser window. It's a feature of the OS, not the browser. Is that how it works in windows too?

You can also ctrl+scroll on your Mac for a more literal zoom. I think everyone might already know that one?

The standard argument for this is that your server has to tip out other people: the bartender, the bus boy, food runners, etc. These people didn't necessarily provide you with bad service, so they should be paid. Personally, I'd say it's something to be decided on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes (rarely, in my…

Posts about tipping always cause a big, polarized stir in the comments section. I guess I will preemptively leave my opinion as a former waiter and then dip out to avoid the agony of reading the other comments.

Paid? Sounds like you should have given more notice /:

This was a great read, Whitson. It got me to finally try out LazyDroid...I should have done that earlier!

I feel like there must be an appropriate Jack Donaghy quote for this...

It's my understanding that MIUI actually wipes out 4G completely. Hopefully it's something that will be included in later iterations.
