I just did this recently. Was helping my sister with setting up her new computer.

So, as a starred commenter, is it acceptable to approve new commenters in the open thread? I've seen some that have been approved, but then there's always the whole "You'll need a commenter account to participate, then you're ready to roll."

@Darklighter: I've been seeing a bunch of them outside walmart lately, trying to sell more.

@Todone: Interesting concept. Encourages a different state of mind. "I have some free time, so what can I do right now?" Not sure if it would work well in practice for me though.

@soldstatic: I think I just found my favorite. Easy to set up, and quick. Most importantly, very harmless.

@travisco_nabisco: In some ways it's just annoying, but me, I'm looking forward to what Google has for tomorrow. Already expecting something, so that takes some of the fun away, but I know it'll will be brilliant.

I get up around 7 or 8 usually for school. I hate mornings with a passion, though. I'm basically a night owl forced to live a morning person's schedule. It's not pretty.

@mike_311: Exactly. That's what I thought it was, until I read further.

Reminds me of The Podomoro Technique. [www.pomodorotechnique.com]

Great! I love having ways to do things in Firefox that don't always require another extension. Might not be quick and seamless, but it's a good tradeoff to keep the extension count low.

Speaking of headphones, if anyone is looking for cheap earbuds, check out [woot.com] today. 2.99!

@Daniel Pentecost: Now I'm having second thoughts.

@MisterSwag: It will expire in October of this year.

@geiko: Never really listened to NPR on the traditional radio itself, but I LOVE listening to the podcast of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! Although I would consider it more of a game show than news.

I'm still living at home, so while I primarily get my news online, my parents still buy the paper, so I glance at the front page occasionally.

Unfortunately, that ends up being every week for me. Although I've found I actually work better under pressure. More likely to get cracking on it if it's urgently due tomorrow.

@1337h4ck3r: Yeah, maybe.

So, this will allow easy, online access to my passwords as well? I think my school's IT Dept. would rather that I didn't install the browser extension on every single computer I ever log onto.

Might just be that I'm very tired, but before going to the link, I was thinking that one hanger was used for several shirts at once.

Wasn't Lala a cd trading site at one time? Or am I thinking of something else?
