@sweenish: Man I totally agree, I never get more than 3 days into Linux either.

@geekymitch: Actually I think at $60 this has the record of the cheapest piece of Sharper Image crap ever.

@Deaf Mute: Thanks to the almighty Jobs and Apple writing has evolved beyond writing. Soon all we will need to communicate are guttural grunts and a multitouch screen with pretty pictures and a few fart apps.

@Derek Erdmann: With Apple stealing all the spotlight with their unannounced tablet it could be that HP and MS were able to sneak up on everybody.

@Nathan Obbards: Japan Probe has both angles. The Japanese boat is zig-zaging back and forth but as you can see in the above video the Ady Gil floors it right as the whaler comes at it's closest point.

@Sanjay: +1

@Cairnage: Just put the lip of the bottle cap on the edge of a cheap table and smack the top of it. Cap pops off, no need to carry anything.

If you have central heating with the intakes in the center of the house close doors of unused rooms to limit air flow through them. Air is a fluid and prefers to take the path of least resistance. More warm air will cycle through the rooms in use.

@Dacker: Understanding the Darwin Awards quite well akshuly.

I love cooks illustrated. Any cooking show thorough enough to talk about calibrating an oven get massive bonus points in my book.

I'm a long time [last.fm] user (obviously), I'll stick with that.

Remember Dec-16th Rifftrax Christmas Shorts Fest in theaters!!

@Claire: 70 proof on average. Remember that kiddies, NyQuil is only 20 proof...

@Nuclear Moose: It's "unlimited" access, "unlimited" bandwidth (best your phone can physically get), but the amount of data is capped.

@jkrell: I agree, $20-$30 is the ideal price point.

@OCEntertainment:

Laptop battery ~ 1hr 45 min

@OneTrickPony: I did a hydroponic garden this year as an experiment and the yields were massive. I wish I had been more mindful of the exact costs at the beginning, weighing yields, comparing with store bought prices, etc. But believe me it's economical.

MSE for me. So many other anti-virus programs seem to have a negative impact on system performance or create odd side effects. Which is ironic since the whole point of having them is to avoid viruses that create odd side effects and negative performance.
