VOTE: Microsoft Word with Track Changes on & Email

@Intelext: to me, this looks like much more than "eye candy". This looks actually useful (providing it works as advertised), and in a novel way at that.

@luckycharms: by the way - one downside to google account multi-login is that it only works for a subset of google product. It doesn't work with Wave, for example.

IMHO, switching entire profiles just to log into another gmail account is overkill. What if you change something in a yahoo account in profile 1, for example. Then profile 2 will still work for your gmail account 2, but you can't then go to yahoo in that account.

just looking around at the sites posted here, seems like [trackmyshipments.com] is the only one to which you can forward confirmation emails to add packages. It'd be nice to be able to give these services your passwords to sites like Amazon and eBay and have them automatically add your packages too. I haven't seen…

My results from namebench kind of blow. It listed some strange servers as being very, very good. Some 4000% better than 8.8.8.8. But looking at the csv file, they're all errors! Great - i get errors back *very* quickly. Namebench, imho, still needs some work. Also, it only ended up testing around 5 different DNS…

Ooh - this is a dangerous hack! You risk blowing out your amp if you put too many lights on it, thereby loading it too much. If I remember correctly, speakers typically have loads in the units of ohms - so, between 1 and 10 ohms or so (someone please correct me if i'm wrong). If you put so many light in parallel…

@kidney_stone: Well, if you're behind a NAT, google shouldn't be able to figure out which user you are. As far as I know, DNS queries don't send cookies. So - no worries about privacy. Or, ok, LESS worries anyway.

@gibson_se: Plenty of free glasses available online. e.g. [www.rainbowsymphony.com] .

@polyboy: haha - my spidey sense tingled with the 2 calendars, but wasn't sure about the newspapers... ;-) #renting

hmm - LH's tag system seems to have some unintended consequences. The related posts to this one have to do with goodwill online and whether or not you skip television ads, cause they're all under the "timesavers" tag. They're hardly related, however. Not a biggie, but I could imagine a bit more of an intelligent…

@polyboy: uh - perhaps i'm not detecting your sarcasm well here, so forgive me if i'm not. A good hoarder could keep a copy of an old newspaper around easily enough. Newspaper pics are only good to prove the newness of a pic, not its, uh..., "oldness". #renting

I think that guy could also use an instructable for a DIY fingernail cleaner. #photography

@Nuclear Moose: Here's the privacy statement: [getglue.com] . Looks pretty good, except that they mention that some personal data is stored on Amazon Web Services. The data on AWS is subject to AWS's terms here: [aws.amazon.com] . Those terms say that info can be collected by Amazon about you via their cookie. …

@PickleOps: At the risk of getting way deep into something i have no interest in touching: engineers, like evolution, also use trial and error. Regardless, I'd suggest following your own advice and watch your tone there, cowboy. #running

i don't understand the difficulty of copying URLs on Google. "Copy Link Location..." works just fine (click tracking enabled or not), as does copy/paste of the green URL. #search

This doesn't work very well in an academic environment. If PDFs are subscription-based (such as they are in academic journals, etc), then google docs doesn't have access to them. Hence, kaput.
