Acutally, I find acrobat's markup tools extremely handy for paperless markup. Where I am, we work with PDFs a lot of the time, and I've seen a pretty steady shift to electronic markup (mostly via acrobat) over the past couple of years, at least when it comes to sharing ideas. Formal markup/redlines are still done on

Sorry, but this looks like it takes up a lot of counter space and is hard to clean. Not the best traits in kitchen gadgets.

Counterpoint on the Best Buy warranty: I bought a $300 point-and-shoot digital camera about a million years ago when people still bought such things, and with it, the $40 extended warranty. Two years later, the camera quit working, probably because I abused the crap out of it (me being a college student).

I was at Best Buy with the gf getting a mouse a few weeks ago, and the sales clerk (who was really nice lady, actually) offered us the "protection plan" for it. When my gf asked what it was, I offered up the simple explanation that it was an extended warranty.

Whaddya got against Virginia?

I once drove 2000 miles for a vacation, but it was not really to avoid the airport. Although, that was a nice bonus.

Oompa Loompa Jony Ive looks pretty pissed.

It's penicillin all over again.

Oh, good point. I was neglecting the black space between frames. Was thinking you could just average every two frames but you're right, even if you do that there would be some blur lost due to the shutter being closed halfway through each pair of frames.

Yeah, it seems like it would be trivial in post processing to produce a 24fps 2D version alongside the 48fps 3D version. I'm not sure why the article doesn't bring that up, because I'm guessing that's exactly what Jackson plans to do.

Pretty soon they'll be carding you when you buy Purell, like they do with Nyquil.

What do you think people store on their cloud storage? Homemade porn? Who cares if they're mining some random spreadsheets and cad files, or my resume, or whatever else you're sharing with people.

D'oh - you're correct, of course. Let me rephrase. Body heat is not emitted as visible light.

Body heat is not emitted as light. I would suspect that any color of a given clothing material will reflect or absorb said heat equally as much.

Oh, snap. Stewart as Ahab? Must Netflix this.

Typical thermoplastic insulation is rated for 75 degrees C. Above that, the insulation will break down and repeated use will eventually cause a failure. In a multi-conductor assembly such as an extension cord, as the insulation breaks down you will start to get a gradual short which will cause more heat and eventually

If you are installing christmas lights in the same place every year, it might be worth installing some UF in the ground and putting a weatherproof outlet with in-service coverplate and just hard-wiring it.

Ding ding ding.

24 Hour fitness has a page that graphs the number of visits per month. Mine currently looks like the stock market in early 2009. Does that shame me into going more? Absolutely.
