Ah, nice suggestion. I'll look into that.

An overabundance of caution, I suppose. I'm not so much concerned with the employees of the hotel/copy store, but it would seem that those locations would be prime venues for malicious third parties. A small risk, to be sure.

I was actually looking at that as well. Unfortunately, it appears that the service is provided by a third party and is meant to be implemented on the document provider's end, not on the document signer's end. I might still experiment with it, though. Thanks!

I'm going to be out of town for the next three weeks, but I'm also anticipating having to sign a bunch of real-estate related paperwork during this time. Normally I'd do this via my office's scanning equipment, but I obviously won't have that luxury on the road. I'm not too keen on scanning sensitive documents in…

For an off-contract phone with its specs, $350 for the Galaxy Nexus is quite a deal. If I had not bought a phone just a few months before it was available on Google Play (for $200 more, natch), I would have jumped on it when it first popped up for $400.

No sweat, I'm leaning towards that as well. I've just never really considered myself a hardcore networking guy (which sounds really strange typed out), so I wondered if I could slide by with a no-frills router.

Yeah, in retrospect, it's silly to hesitate over the cost of a one-time purchase like this. I find myself scrounging since the purchase would be only one of many (I'm going to be moving to a new place soon, so I need new furniture, TV, the works)

Looks like the WRT54G is surprisingly findable on Amazon. I'll have to think about; despite its superb and longstanding pedigree, I do wonder if it'd be better to just lay down for an N router for future proofing.

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.
