In the second to last paragraph: "With the 0% interest loan, we wouldn’t have to pay anything upfront. Instead, we would pay $74 a month for a decade, which seemed far more palatable than $600 oil bills."

Just so you know, the Disconnect 2 Chrome extension breaks the poll. You'll need to disable it or whitelist lifehacker.

I think this extension was featured in a Lifehacker article yesterday.

Do you have keyboard shortcuts enabled in your Gmail settings? It works on both my personal Gmail account and my Google Apps account.

Michael Horvath, the co-founder and CEO of Strava. I am curious to how they (himself and Strava) have handled their explosion of popularity. I don't know in particular if he uses and different productivity methods but I would like to see how he and his staff work.

In Colorado when I filed, the amount of benefit you receive is based on a base period which is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before the start date of your claim. So, you can see where knowing how much you made each quarter could be important. Your (former) employer will inform the state…

I would recommend keeping paycheck stubs longer than one income tax year or at least keep a digital copy. When I was laid off and filed for unemployment benefits I had to provide records of my income for the past two or three years. It is a lot easier to keep the stubs for a little longer than having to go back to old…

Since the content partner is supposed to verify that the infringing item is a full download would one be able to circumvent the rules by starting a download in one location, say a coffee shop, and then finish the download in another location? I wonder how this will affect places that offer free wifi.

I'm curious to see what the warning emails will contain. Will there be any actual evidence provided (I'm doubtful of that) or will it be just a generic email? The lack of information on how the ISPs are going to administer this program worries me. Call me a skeptic but it seems like just another system for the RIAA,…

I think you forgot to add the poll.
