Thanks for the reply. It just feels inherently strange for my one Apple product to be a wifi router.

I got to the best wifi router stories late this week, so I thought I'd wait for the open thread.

Tangential question: how do you guys pronounce the "lived" in "short-lived*" and "long-lived"?

Oh, by the way, if you do go for the $30 plan, you don't have to get it from Wal-Mart. You can buy a sim card activation kit (the kit, not a standalone sim card) from a T-Mobile store or online and use it to activate the plan online.

Worse. They kick you back to 2G.

The subtitle?

Anyone have a recommendation for a good, simple flashcard app for Android? I tried AnkiDroid based on a few website recommendations, but the interface was unintuitive for me. It was almost TOO feature rich; I got lost in all of the menus (it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to make a reverse deck of cards). I also…

Ah, I had read about the Boxee Live tuner but had no clue it allowed recording. I'll have to look into that further.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a (relatively) cheap DVR that I can use with OTA broadcasts? Preferably one with no monthly fees/a lifetime subscription option? I'm on the road toward cutting the cable, and this would be very helpful.

I'm sort of confused, too; is this one of those things that most people get taught growing up that I never heard of? "Make sure your hands are BONE DRY before leaving the bathroom"

I like to play this game where I count how many sheets of paper towels other bathroom patrons use to dry their hands.

Oh, I see your point about the time savings.

Is that really true? I don't have much experience with dishwashers (we didn't really use them growing up), but from what I've seen during college and the rare occasions I've used them since, they take MUCH longer and seem to use WAY more water. I can usually wash a sink full of dishes in like 30 minutes but it seems…

I like keeping my desktop as empty as possible (yes, I'm one of those people). Usually the only thing on my desktop is the Recycle Bin and anything I REALLY NEED TO WORK ON RIGHT NOW. Everything else gets shuttled into appropriate folders that are easily accessible through Win 7's windows-key-then-start-typing feature…

I know someone who can't eat eggs because he once saw a chicken laying an egg.

Well, yeah, but Atheism isn't the same thing as Satanism.

It really makes you wonder.

My first name is Jonathan, so I never get pronunciation issues, but people ALWAYS misspell it, which still mystifies me.

I was a little caught off guard by how the careers were played. I imagined deranged, borderline psycho, but most of the careers (save for Clove) played it as a sort of OMG-you're-like-so-lame-let's-hang-out-at-the-mall teenagers. It was an interesting choice to play it that way; I was just not expecting it.

Also, did the book have movie-Cato's little speech when we was holding Peeta hostage? It seemed to be an attempt to humanize him. I don't remember that.
