@MSaher: My suggestions:

@l337_7r4d3r: Good question. I am thinking of jumping on the portable bandwagon and that's the only aspect that makes me hesitate. Why? I don't know.

@critiquer: @bwcbwc: Your calculation error reminds me of:

Thanks. I recently got forced to use a locked-down computer at work. When I got on GMail I was like.... eeeew.

@oneshot719: sounds good, I'll post the results sometimes next week!

Question:

@chaws: Double that. Nothing beats fresh OS smell.

Take a break, start over the next day.

@mojo: @Philip Barnett: I have disabled System restore on all my XP builds since... 2002 or 2003... after screwing around too much with it... never ever felt the need for it since. I do do nightly backups on a seperate drive though. Usually saves my bacon a few times a year...

This comes back to what Gina was saying [lifehacker.com] : you should start your own business from the comfort of a regular job and stretch it until you cannot manage both anymore.

@ddmeightball: My next build will be with an Antec Skeleton, SSD's and a nice CPU cooler (eg Zalman, Coolmaster or the like). And UV lights/UV cables. I know, juvenile. Whatever.

My trick: I use email as little as possible. I don't use it for entertainment. That way, when I send an email to friends, it makes it count. Despite being quite busy, I only get 5 to 10 emails a day. Quite manageable. I'm never more than 1 or 2 emails behind. Hey.

I'd say the regular (non-hammer) drill won't do a good job.

So... instead of a flash blocker, will we now need an html5 blocker?
