I'll be honest: I'm really looking forward to the results of this because I haven't found one, yet, that's worth a damn.

A whole week dedicated to coding? My local library has a whole shelf of books called "Learn %language% in 48 hours." How hard could it be?

I remember Googling "disc golf target dimensions" and almost getting hit with Internet Security 2010 due to a hijacked website. (Thank you, Fast Fingers!)

Sub-60-minute 10k.

Looks like the site has been Lifehackered. (But it's available in the Market anyway. Just go download.

@brandonjhall: Hell yes.

@CamJN: Unless things have changed since I worked there a few decades ago, I believe it has always been basic Crisco Vegetable Shortning.

@bigbill25: Having spent 10 years in the print industry, I can tell you that there are about 3 million shades of "white" available in that blank piece of paper. There's only 1 18% grey. (And, unless you've got some pretty nice gear, you ain't gonna print on either.)

I think the situation is worse than the article describes. Because labels pander to digital tastes and those "punchy" Top40 sounds, I've found that the engineering quality has suffered at the source. Excessive compression, phase-shifts, and ridiculous amounts of reverb and "sweeteners" have ruined tracks long before…

The most important thing about Lucid Lynx is that now I can look forward to Mint 9 Isadora! ;)

I'm not a pimp, but if I were I'd send you to Blue Jeans Cable for EVERY cable in your house. Just add W's and the .com.

Man, even when Lifehacker brings it to me, software like this raises EVERY hackle down the back of my neck.

And has anybody been working on the Intel Graphics issue or will we be hacking ourselves back 5 years to get acceptable video performance again?

VOTE: Pen & Paper. Nuff said.

I've said it before, so I'll be brief: Regardless of foot type, give a sincere go at barefoot. Period.

@TehNomad: OMG, please tell me you're kidding. When I had to study Webern and Schoenberg my ears used to bleed. Of course, it could be because of the ice picks I was ramming in them.

While I respect the opinions of the posting nay-sayers, count me as one absolute success story. Never been a runner—especially at distance. This year, I vowed to give it a go both for health reasons and for a charity 5k for a friend's son with cancer. While training (using the celebrated "Couch to 5k" if you're…

@Benguin: That is exactly what some Tibetan monks do as part of their morning ritual to recover lost "vitality."

Am I the only one who feels—literally—discomfort from hearing these? I hear all the way up to the 21, but I FEEL a queasy discomfort when they go off. I'm imagining it's the same feeling people must get from fingernails on chalkboards, which, ironically, don't bother me.

Agreed. Lasers can't accomplish what ink and a good RIP can.
