You won't have physical access to your phone at all, or just no connection? I don't think the Google Authenticator app requires an internet connection (doesn't it work off of some pre-set algorithm?)

I don't disagree that two weeks would be pushing it (I was intentionally estimating on the high side). Seriously, though, it seems that when this topic comes up I read about people who throw out food after like 2-3 days. Or, alternately, throw out food if it didn't go directly into the refrigerator after cooking.

Tangential question: how long do people usually keep leftovers? Over the last few years I've come to realize that my eating habits seem to skew from the norm.

Heat vision + a mirror. Seriously, I think he did that on the animated series

I get the criticism of long emails, but I honestly don't know how not to write long emails sometimes. In my job I have to deal with accounting and financial ledgers. Sometimes there's a complicated accounting practice that I'm not sure gels with our regulations (I'm a government regulator). I have to ask my manager if…

Have you ever noticed that something like 30% of all forum/blog comments start with, "Am I the only one who..."?

Four or five slices of bread?! That's like two to two-and-a-half sandwiches!

You can port your current cell number (assuming you have one) over to Google voice. That means Google takes over as the "owner" of that number from AT&T (think of Google as being your new "service provider"). Then just use the google voice app for your phone; you should be able to receive texts over wifi. I'm not sure…

So I just bought a Mohu Leaf Plus (partially on the suggestion of LH), and was just slightly disappointed that I wouldn't be able to leverage the powered aspect of it by just mounting it behind the TV to hide it.

This is just too lovely.

Update: I was completely wrong. Looks like you can upload documents to just sign yourself as well. I was even able to download an android app to take a picture of my signature/initial so it looks pretty legitimate (and completely legal!). As long as I don't need it beyond the 30 day trial period, this will probably be…

It might even be easier to pick one up while I'm out of town. Thanks for the tip.

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.
